Are most people coming into exam period now too? Maybe that explains the interest, or lack there of. I would give this ago in a month-ish time, atm unfortunately it's all exam study and final assignment submissions time.

I'd love to do it, especially with the Saba, but I don't have the kind of constant internet access at this time that would be needed to really "compete" with others online.

I just got out of an exam period.

so is a date set for the event?

How does the start of July sound, I know its a good way off but it would give peple plenty of time to get exams out of the way.

Why did I already know this when I saw your first post in this thread?

That is indeed the question

I have a very fun Seleukid campaign going on right now, probably I have overdosed myself with EB when I finish that campaign. So maybe I won't get myself to take up another campaign. Although if I join, it will be an auto-win (and beer for Macilrille), but the chance that I finish in time with AS and actually take up another campaign when this starts is not so big. However pikeman's remark makes it tempting.

There was someone stationed in Angola half a year ago who had done it even faster than Fluvius. That must be beaten.

It is always good to know I am liked and people wish me the best, although I might cost you a beer.

What you refer to as blitzing is still holding back by my standards. If I would find it to be fun, I probably could conquer the world before 220BC... I must admit, I'm pretty good at it. In the far future I might take up a campaign just for the speed record and to show everyone what really is the fastest time, I think Ptolemaioi, Makedonia or Romani are the best factions to do this.

Was that the Carthie guy you are talking about? HanBaal or something like that? He was quite fast indeed!
