How Did You Find This Place?

[Reenk Roink]

I think google, but I'm not sure, so I also checked the Gah! option.

[Foreign Devil]

I really don't remember, but it was probably right after I bought Shogun, and was searching for Shogun-related stuff. I think. But, however I found this place, I'm glad I did, even if I still spend a lot more time lurking than I do posting.

[Sykotyk Rampage]

It all started long, long ago...........
(this is where the fog and whirly shapes come in- kind of like a dream segue )
IN THE 70'S....sitting around in the past doing what all teens do -even now- the members of R.F.R. were lost in their snow tunnels that they had just finished digging -in their parents front yard- so they'd have a place to hide and drink their magnum of bubble wine . With no power yet installed -that came later- music was needed to cover the sound of inhalement and abberrant conversation so the gathering members broke out into song and merriment. From that day forward a great Sykotyk tradition and many more gatherings were held to sing, play instruments and create music. Eventually members found a person with a P.A. and a chainsaw Tada- Psycho's Slave Den -

So us slaves sitting around the fire enjoying bones tossed to us from the .......
oh ya wrong subject.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found it through a google search back in the long days of STW and MTW . I just lurked for years till I saw Blue Lotus and Hoggy asking for help...so thanks to him you have to put up with my occasional posts. .....or else I would still be lurking ...damn those lurkers (not really for those that can't take a joke) they should just jump in and enjoy the jaccuzzi.

Ya that's right LURKERS - for posters there is a free cyber spa membership, massages, gym, time share in Florida Grand Everglades Alligator Hotel , wine and cheese by fire light along the great shores of Lake Superior (ya its winter here but some people like that), subscription to Total War threads published by the posters here at the forum, a brick of green cheese , a poster of the CA staff in TW gear, oh the list goes on and on so LURKERS post its a good THINK!

Well bye all that was my friday night input...

Good question, Kukri.

I was an old STW-MTW fan, though a lone wolf who never once did think he would meet a fellow, breathing daimyo. STW held a special place in my heart as one of the greatest games I've ever played and the first time I stayed as late as 4 a.m. for a game. Only when RTW came out and I bought it (gleefully -- it's Total War!) that I decided to scour the net just for fun. Got to the .com looking for patches ("just in case"), found 1.1 (and thought how useless it was, since I'm no multiplayer-gamer and liked my elephants high and mighty), found a link of teh org on "Community" section.

Clicked that link.

Loved the guides forum, so decided to join but didn't know what name to use. Remembered something about some Seleucid king (I loved the Seleucids) so chose his name as my forum name; joined in and stayed in the Colosseum in its heyday. Posted quite a lot ("way too much") though not really spam (ha!) and found my way into the Backroom.

It was horrid.

So I stayed, had a happy time with the Mead Hall, then had a lapse in community participation, otherwise known as missing from the forum for months. Returned some time later when I was extremely bored. Got back into the Backroom and stayed ever since.

Might be leaving soon, though, if I get my new computers and a slew of games to consume my time. IF...which means far within the murky future. If I ever leave, however, I'd still haunt the Mead Hall and the Monastery's Interactive History threads, though the Backroom might be taking too much time from my life. Methinks I'll not post in the Backroom for a while just to get some time to see the sun again.

The first forum (and the first politically-charged sub-forum as well as literary sub-forum) I've ever been in the internet and still, by far, the best Evar.

So .com.

[Zalmoxis]

Lots of new members posted on this, so I say hello all.

[Ianofsmeg16]

Axeknight told me at school...

so I typed in www.totalwar.org

EDIT: That was 1 year 12 days ago exactly

[Garvanko]

Found through a link at totalwar.com (which I had googled..)

[Tarkhan Samsam]

I found my way here through Google.

[Paul Peru]

Hard to remember, it was back in the early medieval days
....or was it the high period...
I may have searched on ... AltaVista or something... or maybe I just took the first and best link out of the .com site...

I lurked for ages until I simply had to... something.... ask a vital game related question? Be a smart-alec?

Anyway, this place has been my favourite game related site ever since, and for a while it was my favourite argument related site as well.

[dagiz]

while looking for stuff for mtw. just really never bothered to sign up till after rtw. got into replaying some other games I had.

[Shadow]

Bought shogun and goggled for some strategies to play and have been coming back once in a while ever since but only join officially when RTW came out.

[Epistolary Richard]

For me, the community link at .com which I found looking for more info after watching an episode of Time Commanders.

Of course, I think it was all the plot of those who hate me to rob me of all my free time and make me dull and boring in conversation with those not interested in Total War. Oh well.

[boastj]

I was searching for a the wheal of time books and I found it was being changed into a mod for RTW by some of the people here and have staid(I know its spelt wrong)

[Mikeus Caesar]

I found it on (i think) a google for 'Unlock all factions Rome: Total War'. I liked the place and signed up, thinking these were the official forums. To my shock and horror, i discovered a few months later these weren't the official forums...

[Glyndwr]

It was recommended to me by another player who had found this place.

[Judge]

ifound this page frm totalwar.com i think i rememebr , but never visited the forums untill recently when mwmbers of Tiger Clan introduced me to it, actually Tamerlane i believe it was

[Ser Clegane]

I googled for some totalwar-fansite to get some tips for playing M:TW.

I looked at the .org and the .com but started browsing the board at the .org as it was optically more appealing (the default skin at that time made it more pleasant to read than the black .com board).

I liked the very friendly and helpful atmosphere and registered after a couple of days of lurking (first game-site I registered at).

[dude_138]

I was looking in google for a fixture to my problem - when i try to install update 1.3 to RTW it comes up with an error code -6001. Im not any good with script so i was wondering what the hell it means and how i fix it!! anyway, i dont have enough 'privilages' to post a topic and i cant find one to piggyback on...

[gardibolt]

I have no memory of this place....


I was a Battle for Middle Earth player and was getting bored with it and some folks were saying RTW was a much better game. I think I looked at the Gamespot review and description, and there must have been a link to the .org. I know I found the .org before I found twcenter or the .com, though.

Oh, and the folks saying RTW was a much better game were quite right.

Hey dude_128....

if you cant post your message in the correct forum.
Try posting in the enterance hall,
and a kind mod will moove it for you.

Although I think your able to post in the apothecary, I am not 100% sure.

But the error sounds like you havent patched the game correctly.

open a new topic about it and im sure we will get it fixed in time.
