Now don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of panda's, no, no I'm not.

Is this a joke?

LOL

Reverend Joe 20:59 06-27-2006

No... that cannot be freakin' real.

What's the problem with it exactly? That it sounds like something funny in English? Panta in Greek almost sounds exactly the same (and in modern greek I think it sounds even more like "panda"), but it means something else of course. It's just a consonant, vowel, double-consonant, vowel. Basically the core of a word just like all Indo-European words, with a case ending or something like that on it.

Lol... and speaking of lol I found a spy while playing a Carthaginian campaign with the name "Juba lol". Was that a joke too?

Teleklos Archelaou 21:19 06-27-2006

Iol - it just looked like lol.

I'm not a lot of fun at parties I might add.

perhaps, but you don't destroy mythology like TA does.

His... name... is Panda. Panda. I don't care if you can historically prove that name existed. That's... it's... it... PANDA!

If you could historically prove that the names "Naughtius Maximus" and "Biggus Dickus" existed, and that they meant something completely different than what they sound like, it wouldn't make them any worse.

Is this in vanilla or only the mod?

If in vanilla then it is named after one of the developers nick names...

Subedei 08:45 06-28-2006

I have to say, that the name "The Handsome Viking" is a proof of THV`s sense of humour.. I remember, when I saw it first, it really made me laugh....

O.k., back to topic, well, Cpt. Panda ain`t that bad...reminds me of the South Park episode with the sexual harrasement panda...

Gil Jaysmiths Blog about Spartan with the Panda on his desktop.

Captain Planet - Iol

edyzmedieval 11:27 06-28-2006

Captain Planet.

By the way, Gil Jaysmith has some nice friends there. Cute girls.

Forgus 12:46 06-28-2006

Does panda mean something else in English apart from the obvious,
that I'm unaware of? If not, what is so funny then?

Homo Sapiens 15:37 06-28-2006

Captain Panda...hmmm...

That almost as funny as that rapscallious pirate of Vanilla fame:

Homo Sapiens 15:38 06-28-2006

We could always add it to EB with a quick edit in the names file

That's awesome. Check out the Captain Planet unit card...he's running all out of course, and he's got his command star. And Comrade Alexeo even put in those supercool Captain Planet globes! Way to go.
