Seeing as I'm only 15 (amazing,isn't it?),I'll have to refuse all alcohol.I can still boo at Thaatu.I currently reside in a small town about an hour south of Nashville,Tennessee.I love classical civilizations but am no way as intelligent about them as a lot of people here.Good thing I like to learn.Have also recently gained an interest in Monty Python (bough The Life of Brian today). Planning on a career in politics with law being the backup plan.

I'm the only one in my family to enjoy EB,and also one of the few mature enough (my older brother freaks out at the thought of Gaestae or however its spelt).Favorite factions are Sabean (don't know why though),KH, Sweboz, and Baktria.Planning on branching out my factions though

And thats as far as I'm going to go.I like to protect my privacy online (nothing personal,but it makes me feel slightly uncomfortable putting my real name and such for all to see).

Hey, everyone.

*Pulls out Bacardi 151 (a.k.a. gasoline (75% alcohol)), and begins to pour shots.*
I've got some Don q too, for later.

I'm Antonio, and I live in Puerto Rico. I'm in my first year of college and just got my first F since fourth grade.
I'm single, and I need help. I need a way to get Hell to freeze over so that I can get a girlfriend (I can at least get one-nighters though).
I play guitar (if my nick didn't give it away), but I haven't been at it much. I can still play a couple of cool things (like the intro to Sweet Child O Mine), and am working on Azul and Stairway to Heaven.
I live five minutes away (walking) from six bars where you can get beer bottles for a quarter on thursdays.

[Boyar Son]

My name is Kenny, I live in miami.

I dont know what to do for a job (actually i want to join the army but moms wont let me). So, i guess

Well, i like girls, but the hot ones you know?

Also, I enjoy talking to people from around the world here, and discussing why US football is much tougher than rugby (thats not soccer is it? cuz i dont mean soccer).

I go to brazil to visit some family (you wouldnt believe the hot girls that are there) and party like im 21.

Also, I enjoy exercise so i dont end up like the majority of fat americans.

And, how could you guys let me in? (thx for the vodka pezhetairoi)

[pezhetairoi]

Believe me Cossack (Why the K in front, does it stand for Kenny?), you do NOT want to be in the army. I'm in Singapore in peacetime and it's already terrible enough. Army's the epitome of inefficiency and boredom, man. For you it should be worse, you might end up in Seleukeia I mean Baghdad, with bombs exploding and all that. The Romans had it easier in Judaea than you would have fun in the US Army, I think... Must rethink, must rethink. *plies you with more vodka to help you rethink* Who knows, when you awaken the next morning you may find yourself back in 140 AD, lying in the middle of the Colisseum with no idea how you got here, and only a tattoo that reads 'I (heart) Gaisaharjoz'... o.o

[Xehh II]

I suppose I should go next. Hi, my name is Shannon and I'm a gnome from Christchurch, New Zealand, there is not much to know about me apart from that I'm a short, fat, 17 year old that's addicted to computer games.
I'm currently training to be a chef. I'm also very good at US football but I can't play since there's no south Island league.
That's it about me, I need to go drink.

[agua]

*Barkeep, if you will, I always like something aged 18-21 years, not too sweet and not too smoky, but with a nice body to keep a man warm in the winter months*

*sip,...damn, that feels good*

...Me? I'm half audio major, half anthroplogy major and an avid gamer since 8-bit graphics were cutting edge. Travelling, even only in the states, has introduced and got me hooked on fire spinning, contact juggling, multiple martial arts, fencing, a couple hands full of instruments, and many good friends from the world over. What have you seen that has opened your eyes to new things?...

*long, savory draw of black cavendish from favorite wooden churchwarden pipe*

Yeah?...I am a bizarre concoction of spiritual/secular beliefs where Ayn Rand and the Dalai Lama meet-Anton LeVay and Martin Luther share a drink, and science and alchemy compare notes. And this is now a proper drunk rant.
I am an official mug holder at a pub that offer 132 different beers, and have enjoyed Sicillian and Portuguese wines that rarely come into the states. Yet, Brazilian Rum, cachaça gets me going every time.

*walking around at this point, almost finished with first scotch*

And, most recently, I have stumbled onto such a community that shares my taste for gaming and strategy; history and study. Where I can quote Sun Tzu and be understood. Where I can learn more about certain ancient cultures than I have ever learned in my anthro classes (thank you btw to any and all people who have ever posted their insight into historical matters. Even if contradictory sometimes, it makes it fun to search out the answer for myself).

*finished scotch. Good sir, a bombay sapphire, straight up, please*

Battle field tactics can contribute to so many other areas and the best generals were the ones that could sit with their enemy face to face with respect and honor. The world has lost this and thus the price of war has increased unacceptable amounts.

*the scent of juniper berries, filling all my senses*

It's a strange dichotomoy that war is such a fascinating thing, and yet so atrocious and disgusting in the same breath. Never become any sort of anthropologist if you wish to be at peace, unless you're comfortable being at peace with nothing...

*the gin is gone, the pipe is spent*

*Keeper of fine drinks, a black lager if you would, of the Brazilian variety if you have it*


...But I'm just babbling on now, please tell me more about yourself...

(If I ever run into any of ya'll, the round is on me. So if anyone is in St. Louis, MO, let me know.)

@Thaatu

Your Finnish and don't drink???? I've played Salibandy with Finns for a few years and was most impressed by their capacity for alcohol.

Anyhoo hows it going chaps *orders a nice pint of real ale*

I'm Al from the UK I live in Newport Pagnell where they make Aston Martins...in fact I can see the service yard from my bedroom window

*Has a sip of the Beer...hmm not bad, full body with a nice long dry hop finish*

I hate to say that I never get enough time to play EB as I only play at work (the wife detests PC games and I value by balls to much to play them at home). Plus my spare time involves to many other things like Children (I've got three of them two boys one 11 years and the other 17 months and a girly who's nearly 9) Mountain bikes, and Real Ale (I'm a but of a sad old anorak when it comes to beer)

*has another sip...oo very complex nice use of Crystal and Amber malt, Challenger hops if I'm not mistaken (see...anorak)*

Right Excuse me while I just settle back and take in the next couple of weeks of the Rugby world cup. I shall no doubt be cheering for Scotland as usual (being as I'm more than half Scottish) but I'm expecting the Kiwis to win it....I shall of course be gloating a lot when England get beat

I know, I'm an outcast.

Boo! Finland stinks!

That hurt. I see where you got your name.

*Requests a pint of Guinness from the barkeep* As the drunkard in the corner dishing out friendly advice Kenny, do yourself a favour and get yourself a job that doesn't involve being killed on the whim of that monkey-boy Bush. People that can't get a proper job join the army.

No one trusts in my ability to kick ass? just like mom.....

Also, my football team V. your rugby team (football rules apply), be there

Singapore eh, u in the army? (BF2 and the history channel gots me pumped UUUUPPPP)

Also, what it like in a small town in england horst nordfink

[Horst Nordfink]

I trust in your ability to be killed needlessly buddy, listen to your mother!

It's ok here. It's a little boring now and again, and the weather's nothing to write home about. But I don't think I'd move away.

You bring your 143 players that you seem to need for one game of american football, and I'll bring my boys! But more importantly, who's bringing the cheerleaders?!?!

*anyone for a round of Shoggoth's Old Peculiar?*

[russia almighty]

*Sits down at the bar and chugs straight from the everclear bottle*


My name is Mark , not giving you my last name . I'm 18 , in my last year of HS . I weight lift , uhh got a 10% or less BF% . Do Muay Thai , did TKD for 5 years but it hit me that it wasn't what I wanted . Even though I went to a joint that did full contact sparring there wasn't enough emphasis on ground fighting or flat out strikes for my tastes .


I kinda wish I could have done the harad voices for the FATW mod .Cause I've got the perfect voice IMO for the bodyguard unit .

And also, American Football is not tougher than Rugby, never has, never will be. Rugby players don't need to get dressed up like Robocop to play, they are far tougher.

Politics and niceties out of the way; my name is Chris. I live in the arse end of nowhere in the north of England. I have a girlfriend, but no kids yet

I play football on a Sunday, but I'm far too fat to be of any use. I enjoy Guinness far too much to be healthy. But...... you've got to die of something, may as well be of enjoying yourself.

After all my "hard work" at school, I eventually was accepted into university, ony to decide the week before I was set to go, that I'd tired of this academia lark and wanted to whore myself to the man like the rest of the world, and took my well earned place at the grindwheel for tuppence a week.

So now, after 5 very long and tedious years of work, I'm regretting my decision. Who would've thought your parents and teachers would've been right all along?!

So come on boys, pull yourself up a stool and we'll sit and drink our troubles away!!

Sassem catch his breath after laughing his head off and friendly point out to Kenny that rugbyers don't have to stop every minute in the game to discuss what they are doing next

offers Kenny a black cup of coffee to sober up and gives Chris a pint of Guinness

Turns back to corner(with a big smile on his face and shaking his head) to play his game of darts
