    Question Re: Backroomers: WHY do you come to the ORG?

    though i have not been on for like a month, i feel at home here where some of the people are actually vaugely intelligent, try finding that on myspace . plus i am thinking about going into polotics in a few years and the years of pointless internet debating may help me.

    plus i'm kinda a sadist and noone here judges me

    I have finally found a group of people who love to argue even more than I do!


    I am constantly surprised by the level of intellect represented here by those who post. Altough I cannot post as often as I would like to, it is a great place to take the pulse of the world. I have found that the rest of the world is not so different as some in the backroom might claim. I feel a kinship with many here, even those who have divergent world views than I.

    I came the summer before MTW was released.

    I was drawn by my love for all things Medieval and warlike. I had earlier bought some friends a copy of STW.

    Then, I posted mainly in the Main Hall.

    After some time, I stopped playing MTW as much. But it was a long time, and I would come back for the mods. They were truly excellent. But I got hooked on the Tavern. It was, and still is, the best place I've ever found for discussion of 'stuff'.

    The Christmas after RTW came out, I got it and played it for a couple weeks, then slowly lost interest.

    I became interested in EB when Teutonic Knight, I think it was, was still involved and it was only a thread in a forum before RTW came out. I remember they had hoped to provide a bunch of info to CA for a more historical game. We know how that turned out.

    After getting RTW, I became more interested, and would eagerly await new screenies in the screenshot thread. I did not like it when they stopped that and started the previews, which every mod seems to do now.
    But I lingered there, and even became one of the very early closed beta testers. But that testing session fell through, and with it, I lost interest. I still have the RTW cd, but I haven't DLed the open beta EB. The complete lack of begining infrastructure to build medium troops made me apathetic to it. I don't know if its changed.

    But the thing that has held me almost constantly is the Tavern. Here I meet all sorts of interesting people with different views, and, I hope, I have become a much better debater for it.

    Somewhat longer than I intended. Ah well.

    A six year habit.

    It's a link in my Bookmarks.

    I realized today, while posting in the sexist language thread, that some of the conversation was at a very high level. I'm tired of shallowness and clichés. Here, some of the forumers converse over my head. That doesn't happen much to be in my offline life. It's challenging and keeps my interest.

    Crazed- you can build medium/line troops at the start now. EB is definitely worth getting. And the new(er) version will be even better.
