I´ve tried the Macedonian and Turkish kinds of raki, don't know if there is a difference, though i must say i do not like them very much. ouzo is definitely better. Lived in Turkey and Macedonia, or FYROM if you prefer, for about half my life and recentley spent 2 months on the greek side of Cyprus, and countless small holidays in Thessaloniki, but never tried Tsikoudia, will definitely see if i can find it next time i´m down in those parts of the world, though I prefer some fine herb over most drinks.

I registered a while ago, but haven't been very active, mostly because if there is something interesting to read on the forum, it´s usually nothing I know a great deal about, so no use of posting, or something I do know something about, and thus boring. Mostly the first (which is why I spend a great deal of time browsing this forum)
So I guess it turns out I know of most members here, but you don´t know me since I never really properly introduced myself. I know you, you don't know me, creepy eh?
Anyway, I´m 22, Swedish, and currently living in the south of Sweden, trying to finish a bachelor in history.
After half a year of wasting my life on WoW I decided to get something else to waste my life on. That turned out to be EB and oh boy is it worthy of wasting your life on.
Though unfortunately for me I do not have that much time to waste any more, due to workload and school.
What got me interested in EB was ofc the claim for historical accuracy but also the trait system, which is still the reason why I always go back to EB over other mods. I must confess I prefer the period of the fall of the Roman empire (don´t hit me!) which is why I love this mod, since I learn something new in a very easy and relaxing way, my knowledge in 272 BC has radically improved since I first stumbled on this mod:
Actually EBs representation of Pahlava inspired me into learning more about their history and helped me choose my subject for my bachelor essay! Which is about the biggest compliment I can give to the EB team.

Now thats enough from me!
