You know you're an EB nerd if...

if you wake up in the middle of the night dreaming of playing an EB boardgame, complete with miniatures, cards and all... it happened last night.

I dream my campaign almost every knight.

no no no,

you know you're an EB nerd if you seriously think that battle of Alesia was won by roman diplomats!

Extreme accuracy, isnt it?

... You spend everything in your wallet by the end of every day to prevent from becoming Wildly Extravagant

[Tellos Athenaios]

Isn't that a contradictio in terminis, though?

[iwwtf_az]

...you drag your nasty anciliaries onto your best friend who is in the same room(province), and in turn, drag his good ones on you.


...if you actually feel better than those lowly people who just play vanilla, while glancing at the other forums of EB(i just found out there were)

[pezhetairoi]

...you keep a turn-by-turn detailed record of all actions fought, all casualty numbers per battle, all units recruited and building constructed, and have an A3-sized pencil hand-drawn EB 1.0 province map on your bedroom wall with your current empire shaded in on it and updated every day. And you refuse to refer to historical units by anything other than their native-language names, even with people who only know the english versions.

...I do all that, by the way. Many's the look of utter confusion I've gotten when I talk about 'hoplitai' and 'phalangitai' and 'gaeroas' and 'principes'. Priceless.

[Cyclops]

...Priceless.

Yes, extraordinarii.

[[EB]Demulon]

...you acknowledge that, although you many not be charismatic or vigorous, four years in a center of high learning will likely give you positive traits for the future.

...you grow a beard and long hair to resemble your Celtic ancestors.

When you go into taverns to pick up chubby women to get the casual adulteer trait
When you drink at the same tavern and tlk to the old dude in the corner and pick up drunken uncle trait
When you look on ebay for "semi accurate armor and a gladius" to command your legions properly
When you actully get the bartix jokes(still working on that it needs its own thread already)
Scream for more wine from your blasted slaves and your mom tells you "to go get your own soda"
When you lose a battle you throw all your clothes into the middle of the room to make your own funneral pyre
When you find your self in class drawing up battle lines and tactics on your class notes
When you see beautiful women you think to yourself "we do more then take a city, we take their holy places their women folk"
When you stop using soap and switch to olive oil to get "Romanized"
When you drink too much you scream quotes from the EB loading screens
When you greet people as "citizen"
When you seriously consider getting "Quisque Barbarus Alio(sp)" tattooed on your person
When you think of intresting questions to ask on the board

[sgsandor]

@ Pig latin that is amazing!

[runes]

i've found myself muttering BAZ BAZ BAZ on more than one occasion

[NeoSpartan]

...When you make your own EB Gallic costume for halloween HOWEVER you have it ready to wear in ur room. Later you put it on while the screen loads to fight a MAJOR battle. ( 1/2 the time u go the gaesatae version for a change)

.
If you dream a huge riot in Arsé, in which your old governor with decades of experience gets killed, yourself barely manage to get away, hardly saving a close friend and your favourite teeny concubine, and think about the blurry future of your campaign against Roma if you relocate your talented general back to govern Arsé.

(This was last night. )
