New factions?

[desert]

Eh? What has Moros ever done to warrant such suspicion?

Or is he this guy -

[bobbin]

has any else noticed Tellos's new sig picture? is that a new faction symbol underneath the black fog?
and occultus is the latin for hidden/concealed. maybe i'm just reading into things too much.

[General Appo]

Most likely Tellas and Moros have entered the ranks of the Europa Barbarorum Information Department, EBID, legendary for the amount of absolute bullshit and disinformation they spread.

[a completely inoffensive name]

People shouldn't ask "seriously Foot, what are the new factions man?" or other stupid questions. I am not saying don't ask questions, but honestly, what makes you think any question about something not discussed or talked about by the EB team will make them go "oh, I think we can just tell him/the community and hopefully have it ready by the first release". If they haven't talked about it, chances are it is still in development/ they want to keep it a secret.

[Krusader]

Heh. When I found the post and noticed it was Moros who released this information, my hopes collapsed like water on rocks. I still trust the EB Team, of course! Just not Moros...

You can trust Moros when it comes to this infobit though...

[Tellos Athenaios]

I haven't entered into any ranks lately. Just find the banner a very nice and expressive addition to my signature. Oh, we should definitely do that EB history page some day.

[Subotan]

I think it's a hammer and sickle.
....

[General Appo]

I cleared it up a bit, still doesn't really make any sense.

[lenin96]

It looks like there could be a person behind where it says occultus and I think I can just see its face and other people in the background.

Oh, you must really hate me...

Occultus:

Occultus is a rank reserved for special EB members only. They must first make an offering of blood to the Great God Khelvan, who was taken into the ranks of the Gods about a year ago. Then, each month, just as the red moon passes over the mountains, Khelvan comes to them and tells them what they should do.

[Moros]

Ah it had been way too long since the old EB I occultus madness.

[Ibrahim]

what was that? any threads I could find?

[cmacq]

Oh, you must really hate me...

They call him legion, for he is many.

[Moros]

I think so. When EB 0.7 hadn't been released yet there were occultus sig's for unrevealed factions. And later when 0.8 was not yet released there were occultus sig's for Saka & Saba. I bet you can find it using the search option.

Location: Bilisium (Bilzen), Limburg, Belgium (Brussels)

Signs point to Belgae?

[bovi]

Signature changes affect old posts too, so I don't think you'll find any. Still, I'm sure there was much discussion that can be found with a search for occultus.

[theoldbelgian]

Signs point to Belgae?

I think he just lives there
bilzen which lies in the province limburg which lies in the country Belgium what Brussels stands to do there i don't know

a fun fact: this means that you have to read his posts very slow and with a singing voice :P

[Tellos Athenaios]

His location has been up for people to see way before he started sporting the (new) Occultus banners. Whether or not any striking similarities between "Occultus" and "Belgium" make two and two...or even exist... I'll leave that to you to find out.

[Subotan]

Belgae?
...
:D

[theoldbelgian]

here's hoping for them butt i thought other factions would get a green light before them if they are in it

gah and when it is announced i can't wait to play with the belgae(only other game i saw so far was changing history and there where we utterly useless :S )

[Subotan]

Well, I've done some maths, and worked out that the average time between each Stele is 1.9 months, or 57 days. Considering it has been 66 days since the last Stele, I'd say we're overdue an update (Particularly faction-wise)

[antisocialmunky]

2 of those days were probably spent partying, 5 of those days were probably spent with family, and 7 of those days were probaby spent recovering from a drunken stupor.

[desert]

I predict that Stele #8 will be presented on 4:36 P.M. GMT on January 24.




Give or take a week

[Megas Methuselah]

I don't believe you. I only trust MAA.

[antisocialmunky]

I wonder how far the Gaza Campaign has progressed. If they can get the Hellenic Roster made... well that's like half the roster for 1/3rd of the factions done already isn't it?

[Moros]

Signs point to Belgae?

Nah I have it there since I joined the .Org. So that's from before I joined EB, and from the time EB was even an open project (no members only forums). So no there's no connection between them. Though that doesn't mean there's no Belgae tribe being considered or chosen as a faction.

*Whips out microphone, and hat with EB PRESS printed on it*
"So Moros, is that confirmation for a Belgae faction?"
Regardless of what you say, I'm convinced that there will be a Belgae faction.

[Megas Methuselah]

It is not a confirmation for the inclusion of a Belgae faction, but rather a confirmation of a proposed inclusion of a Belgae faction. Cross your fingers, boys!

[Skullheadhq]

BELGAE?! *sighs* Like it wasnt busy in Gaul already *sighs again*
