How did you make it to .org??

[King Henry V]

Back in the day when RTW came out, I was so mad about it I had an insatiable appetite to explore absolutely anything to do with TW. TRhat was at a time when there was link the drop down menu under the Community section. I joined up, selected King Henry V as I was expecting to find an avatar of him. Unfortunately, there wasn't one, but as my second chocie was Augustus Gabinnius, my top general in RTW atm, I'm glad I chose KHV. Stupid Romans.
Anyway, I joined, made a couple of posts in the Colosseum. However, I then disappeared from here until the end of April, when I started writing a story called "The Gold of Byzantium". However, at that time I had not a clue about spamming and forum rules in general, so I thought a good way to highlight my story would be to post the same "Coming soon.....to the Mead Hall" threads in loads of different forums. I think it is a credit to the moderators that I was not warned for it, as I would no doubt have been on other sites where the mods are more trigger happy.

Somewhere in early 2003 I tried registering here as a result of my activities in MTW's multiplayer, but something went wrong and my account wasn't activated. Eventually, I drifted to Total War Center, but came back here for reasons even I've forgotten. This forum's just that good

Cool Guys. I went to TWC, Made 10-20 posts or so, but came back here not soon after :-) :)

Time to revive this thread...

From what I remember, I came here after I played M2TW demo from a PC game mag DVD. Then, I searched for infos about M2TW and stuff then somehow I ended up here...

I confess I no longer remember how it was I first stumbled onto the Org -- probably through a link at the offical site, but I can't swear to it. All I know is that I lurked here for almost a year and a half before finally deciding to join up. (It's hard to believe now, but at that time I was extremely "forum-shy", and hadn't really participated in message boards before then.) What finally won me over was how everyone here was both intelligent and courteous in their conversations....and (as I realized later) extremely helpful as well. As a rule, Orgahs really know how to make a person feel at home.

almost the same... i was here since 2003 but never knew you could sign up :P

and i came and never left...

I think it might have been thanks to EB.
I was looking through threads on Gamefaqs (what a horrid place that could be...) and found something about EB, I followed the link here, and for more than a year lurked around, never deciding myself about signing up. Finally, in January, why I don't remember, I signed up. And that was it.

[Hepcat]

I just found it on Google when looking for mods. Found EB and then signed up.

Though I hardly ever post I do read a lot of topics.

[Marshal Murat]

I was at the com. enjoyed it (Hagiographers, Tarrak Interactives, supporting NTW).
After Hagiographers fell through, I heard discussion about the .org, and decided to take a look around. I liked it, signed up, and have come here regularly ever since.
Mead Hall, Monastery, and recently the Backroom (sometimes to my ire)

[Antagonist]

Found the link at the .com when hunting for MTW info. Lurked, unregistered, both here and on TWC from VI onwards, I temporarily lost interest in TW when Rome came out, but very soon after I suddenly became interested in Antiquity (no idea how that happened) and picked it up again. It was still about a year before I actually registered though.

Amazing what you find

[RoadKill]

I was just googling around for MTW 2 guides then clicked into this forum. It didn't seem too special to me then so i read hte guide and left, only to stumble on teh forum again after searching for a mod. And then magically i saw the godly Gameroom in the tavern. I went in read some stuff and wanted to play so badly. I joined but it wouldn't let me post in it as I was only a nooby member. So i started posting like mad in the Forum ( not spam )
And finally got to post in the game room, and thats when i got addicted to Mafia games.

[Whacker]

Came here after I discovered Shogun. Wanted to see if there were any mods for it and found the Org, sorta just stuck around ever since.

Same here, except I wasn't looking for mods, just info. That and I lurked for about 6 years.

[IceWolf]

I googled RTW to find s place for help and advice with the game. This is a great place. There aren't as many forumers here as at heavengames, but the RTW iq is a bit higher here.

I was trying to search for RTW unit stats and came across this forum.

Several weeks later, I tried to search for BI unit stats. Failing that, I was looking for guides that hopefully had unit stats in them, and was again directed to FrogBeastEgg's excellent guide, which I recognized. I bookmarked the site and, days later, I stumbled into Scriptorium and started tumbling down the modding hole. :)

[Conradus]

I came here thanks to EB's official site and lurked for some months before posting anything. The Monastery and the friendliness of the people here kept me. And now you're stuck with me.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

t'was attracted to froggy's MTW guide.

I was down on my luck ... looking for work

I met this guy at my local pub, he had tattoos on his arms and kept buying me drinks

I was pretty drunk but I have this vague memory of being punched repeatedly and put into the back of a van


and I woke up here

We've tried to make Papewaio quit that particular recruitment method. Maybe you noticed the patch on his upper-arm - he's trying to taper off.

The first rule about the Org is, you do NOT talk about the Org!

[pevergreen]

Really good M2TW pictures, then gamefaqs to froggy's guides. Read it for about a week, joined.

[caravel]

I was looking or information on camel digestion, I understood there was a leading expert in the field working here, known as Doctor Mithrandir... I discovered it was all about computer games and not in any way camel related, I feel deceived.

[Subedei]

I bought MTW in 2005, b/c that was when i got a compi that could run it....[in fact I was soon aware that it could run RTW too9. But back on topic: well playing the Almovids, I think the French gave me a very hard time. So i looked for help, found it here and find it eversince. Plus interesting history facts/discussions, mods and a lot of laughs...

[Bijo]

My interest in TW -- for quite a while -- finally brought me here. But now it's more like a standard internet forum I go to, instead of TW being the main case.
