no offense, but this is a total war website and this is the greeting forum, perhaps this should go in the off topic forum?

**Andres** · 12-14-2006, 21:39

A camel will carry it to the appropriate forum

Btw, welcome MARIAN

I don't think Junior Members can post in the Frontroom and if anywhere it should be in the Arena.

**Bellum** · 12-15-2006, 04:04

What is that? 0_o

**naut** · 12-15-2006, 04:41

Nevermind.

PS: Total War is better.

**MARIAN** · 12-15-2006, 08:22

As junior I could not write about this game in arena, therefore have asked of the sanction to write in other theme, the admin has allowed to write to me here:)

**cegorach** · 12-15-2006, 09:44

So it is fine.

BTW Welcome Marian - I have read your posts in Polish TW Universe forum.
