    You could use your imagination.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

    Search for Romaktonoi posts. Read them out loud 'til your gut spills out. Then start a campaign as one of the Greek factions.

    The team is no longer working on EB1, it'll have to wait until EB2.

    I appreciate you are trying to offer suggestions, but they way you phrase them makes it sound more like demands. It would also help if your thread titles were more informative and less "Read this all!".

    Indeed, usually "Read This all" has the opposite effect unless it is a known and respected member of the Forum writing it. Which I mistook his name for- otherwise I would have never looked the way of a thread with that title.

    Really. Why don't you make intros for all factions yourself? It seems that new members have difficulties in striking the proper tone in this Forum lately. We're not taking orders except from the moderators.

    Honestly, you should try a more polite approach or start making them yourself.

    It is not actually impolite, it may just be enthuisiastic in its brewity. Consider if he has added instead, "They are so great" then it would have been praise, it can still be interpreted as such (even by old grumpy me).

    This thread is going nowhere and is redundant from the start so unless OP has anything else to say to elaborate (be not scared of us), I suggest Ludens gives it a day or so more then gets the padlock out.

    I thought this a joke or something really funny. :( not happy at all
    "I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose history is ended, whose wars have been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, whose literature is unread, whose prayers are no longer answered.... For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a new Armenia!

    oh yeah? you and whose army?

    but seriously: just go find a tutorial about making movies; maybe that will do?

    EDIT: see, turns out I'm not alone in this sentiment.

    I want to help. I don't know anything about taking videoshots from EB though. Well, if you have enough time and nerves to instruct me (just pm me in that case) , i'll try to make Carthaginian intro, or help you with the one you're working on :)

    has this thread not run its course?

    Should we not just let it die instead of spamming it?
