Is that true that the EB team dislike Romans ?

From the member's signing agreement to join EB:

I hereby resolve to strive, to the best of my ability, to denigrate the Senate and People of Rome, using historically responsible methods when possible, and hypothetical, borderline irresponsible evidence when necessary, so long as a facade of historicity survives, and the SPQR is revealed for what it really is: a city state blessed by Tyche to expand into the vaccuum left as their neighbors, illustrious as they all were, waned.

I hope that clears things up...stupid questions...

[dezzerx]

Not entirely right. The difference between the Dutch and the Flemish is that well... talk to Dutch girls.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The Flemish are just cute, and will never get past the "boy" stage. Their accent and the fact that the Flemish tend to be somewhat smaller than the Dutch contribute to this...

Hah, I can live with that!

Where do I sign?

Don't we say the same accent stuff about them Dutch?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well... considering that the Flemish got that somewhat higher and softer voice? Altogether more French?

Mind if you cross the main Dutch rivers the language becomes much more guttural than below in Brabant. ... Or Limburg...

Funny you should mention that. First time I noticed my current girlfriend was when I heard her beautiful french-accented Dutch, before I even saw her (lived up to the voice, thankfully!)...

Hey, I'm a million miles away. The only thing I'm afraid of is whether I'll ever see Daily Show again.

Too bad Colbert wasn't allowed to participate in the South Carolina elections >.<

We say the exact same thing about you guys!

[Thaatu]

Aye. It's a flaw in the democratic process. He was already like the fifth on the opinion polls...

[Moros]

No need to be rude!

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

Indeed.

[Reno Melitensis]

No.



DO NOT post crap like that outside the backroom. You may find you offend people.

It was not my intention to harm anyone, if someone has been offended, I am very sorry. But can you tell me what have I written that can offend people, after all this is a post about who hate Romans, and who dont.

Cheers.

Perhaps everyone here want his ancesstors as chosens!

Whole thread is just

[Intranetusa]

Indeed.

It was fear...South Carolina Democrats feared Colbert's gravitas/muchos huevos grande.

Why Chosen paticularly?

[Tellos Athenaios]

Yeah it got something special doesn't it...?

[Charge]

Why Chosen paticularly?

Because I can't see anything in that post that can OFFEND anybody here...

'cept those who think Hannibal the best, or Romans - scum.
--> in this cases PVC's post says :

"Do you hate romans?"
-"NO"

"Romans the best!"
- "I hate romans!" (or somebody here hate them)

stupid, isn't?

[Pharnakes]

Well, yes it is, but I still don't see what it has to do with ancient chiness/Koreans.

* If in any way I'm just being stupid and saying something that isn't true, go ahead and point that out, I know a lot of you would love to *

Fife Scotland I take it? cause here in Washington I haven't heard much about cattle raiding over in Fife lol :P
Wasn't alive in the 70's so I missed out on the whole long hair being the "thing" so I have to deal with just being the 21st century Jesus. And lets be accurate here, atleast a lot of the Celts back in the B.C. era were cleaning themselves with soap :P
The Clan system survived all the way into the 1800's. Outside pressure from England and even Lowland Scotland were starting to take apart the Clan system. Things really went bad after the battle of Culloden, and then Celtic culture got a pretty big swift kick to the nuts again.
War seasons would probably be exciting if you and I were of the Warrior class in Celtic society, generally it was just raiding another Tribe or Clans home and stealing cattle, woman etc. Then there was the non Celtic people being raided which was probably not fun in any size or shape, but then again your a Celt and there is no problem :P

Woman would probably be much better off. None of that Roman woman are property or Christianity's woman are the devil deal etc.

Hmm don't really want to rant cause I'm probably looking foolish right now * you people scare me * But my favorite is let the ass or that particular asses champion fight the battle and let the war be done with. The idea of having Bush getting into a fight with say the late Saddam would just make me smile :D

[Pharnakes]

Yes, Scotland, But untill 3 months ago I have spent all my life in the Western Highlands, where as you say the clan culture persisted untill very recently. And still does, in mnay ways. And so does cattle raiding, belive it or not. The best way to pay off your neighbor for getting drunk and pissing all over your front door step is to steal half a dozen of his cows and lock them up in his hated enemies cow shed.

Don't bring your theological views into historical debates. It's bad form and it has the potential to spark a vicious flame war in very short order.

[soynegro]

I dont think that EB team dislike Romans. I downloaded EB 1.0 a few weeks ago and playing as Roman im having lot of fun, i even can say that i ve never had so much fun in total war games as with EB.

Judging by the phallic thread, a mod should jump out at any moment now, delete all posts with "dutch" in it, and lock the topic

Well, next time you make a statement like you did use "the Almighty Jupiter" rather than "the Almighty God" since it's more likely to be taken as a bit of roleplay and less likely to irk the more sensitive of posters.

[TWFanatic]

How do you define "for the worse" when there is no possible way of thinking the alternatives or indeed of defining "good" in history?

I assume you don't want a lecture on the phenomenal amount of change that is a result of the Roman empire. Imagine everything that is a result of Rome down the very language you are speaking now, and ask yourself what life would be like without it. And please do not twist my words: I did not "define" anything. I quote myself: "arguably for the better." When theorizing and hypothesizing, nothing is written in stone.

Don't mind him - he's probably Italian

No, I am not Italian, in fact I do not have any Italian blood running through my veins that I am aware of. I am a humble student of Roman history.
And as a side note, I would be wary of labeling people with a race, as I've seen that start flame wars. Thankfully I do not get "offended" over the internet as seems to have been happening so often in recent topics on this forum.

It was a joke - hence the smiley face. Sheesh - you people need some beer or weed or something.

[russia almighty]

starforge the problem is the strain changes every two weeks . Weed doesn't make you happy anymore. The shit makes you angry now . Some of the stuff will make you deaf for a day if you take two hits of it as well .

Never tried the stuff personally so I'll take your word for it (second hand smoke doesn't count I hope.)

More of a beer fellow myself.
