Didn't we all? I still go back and read that madness on occasion. Somehow though i think this legendary joke is lost on some of our younger members...

As for why i have stayed around for nearly 4 years? Routine, i guess. I use to come here everyday because i liked to talk about RTW. Now i've just got into a routine of visiting here at least once a day, even though to be quite honest it sometimes doesn't interest me. But that's only during slow weeks.

I'm too lazy to change my bookmarks.

I don't know what the History of the Zipper is, so obviously I come here because I am bored, confused and clueless.

**Subedei** · 10-22-2008, 16:20

I haven't found any better forums around; though I should admit that I have not visited too many.

EDIT: And of course, TW is a great game series.

IIRC Dutch Guy links to it in his sig.

Apologies, I had been posting as a Bartix-related joke and I thought that since it was quoted from a non-deleted post and I blanked out the swearing it woud be OK, but it was stupid.

Somewhat ironic given the thread...

Well, since I'm going to be on the .Org again I might as well make this my first post.

My reasons isn't for like or dislike of the .Org but was a journey to find something bigger than myself and katanks.

It all started all those years ago on my first expert level campaign in Medieval Total War. I was playing as the Byz and I was able to push the Turks from Anatolia after couple of decades. But the entire time I had my eyes on Antioch which was occupied by the Egyptians (whose homeland was occupied by the French). Try as I might and wave after wave of feeble charges by beloved Katanks and Armenian HC I could not dislodge them from that one province. I looked for a reason why, why would my katanks fail me and there before me stood the Scourge of Equestrians. The CAMEL. Then I was surrounded by sand and the wind was, but it couldn't be, yet it was pushing me down on my knees. Then came a flash of light and I could see why the wind was acting so abnormally. I was kneeling before the Patron Guardian of the CAMEL. It told me to renounce my foolish and uneffective horse worship and go, go and seek the Way of the CAMEL. After hours and hours of constant websurfing (it was actually a few minutes since I had visited the .Org before to learn about Sultan Ransoming.), I came upon the .ORG and began the long and ardurous study of the way of the CAMEL. I will continue to learn but so far I have realized one major principle of the CAMEL Philosophy. "Shut up and Shovel faster." To this day I have warred against the Saracens, Turks, Moors, and the occasional Mongol, but never again did I made war on the CAMEL.

That is the reason for my stay on the .Org and will continue to be until all CAMELS are dead/extinct.

Has it really been that long ago?

Those were the days.

I don't think I've ever had a reason to use such a variety of emoticons, and reference NPR in a single response. *sigh*

Why can't we get more confused members like that?
