ROME

[Swift]

 Question: Why is Rome acting like they are trying to be peaceful when Marcus has made 29 attacks with only 2 defenses? That seems very aggresive to me and unjustified.  Do you so-called "Romans" have a response for this aggresion?

[Bloodrath]

 Heh, compaird to what I have done in the game at times, I would call that peaceful. ;) If this all happened in one day that isn't bad. People really do get to hyped about what is right and wrong. Unless you are a clan like Winter was who spoke the word of peace, then it is free game for you to attack as much as you want, hopefully knowing that people will try and counter you in the end, but hitting the heck out of a few people can be a good strat to use. Just putting my two sense in.

 Just pointing out how earlier in this topic people had deemed them to be friendly and I was just pointing out how aggresive they seem to me.

 nero finds that this would be a good time to grab a phrase he stated earlier in this topic.  nero feels that it might clear up the attacking question

this is where you must look at the individaul members/emporers of rome..
each has their own style..

to each their own.  we may be unified under a clan name and horde titles, yet we each have individuality, as each of the roman emperors did..  nero was completly insane in his later life, and he forced the citicens of rome to come and listen to him sing.  many men were reported to have faked death to get out and atleast one woman gave birth during a concert...  noone was allowed to leave.
which would you rather be, attacked or senernaded?

[The Lady Shael]

 Just because Marcus made several attacks doesn't mean the entire clan is aggressive. Hmf, I'VE made more attacks than that. Last era that is, I'm still in protection.

And Nero has a point. They all have their own personality. Maybe it isn't very evident on the game, but they've all posted on the forums, and you can see what they're like. And he has another point- you probably don't want to hear him sing.

[Commodus]

 Twenty-nine attacks my dear friend, are nothing in the relative scheme of things. Not only were these attacks spread around a variety of members, they were neither malicious in intent or action.

"Unjustified?"
He attacked the best land sources, he's a talented player with a unique style of play. Obviously as you leave protection your attack rate will be higher than your defensive rate.

Thanks Shael!

Nero should at least remember to capitalize his own name if Nero is going to refer to himself in the third person.

I believe an appropiate expression to use here would be touche!

:lol:

Dead Eye, how about you shut your mouth! And I think us Romans are better then your "oldbies" We after all, show our names. Most of you hid and never say your names in game. ~cough Dead Eye cough~ The orginal Romans were hostile, I mean, their orgin was from two twin brothers who were raised by the wolves. After founding Rome the two brothers fought, and one ended up killing the other by hiting him over the head with a rock. That is how the first king of Rome was crowned. By killing his twin brother with a rock. We are violent, but each to his own.

Actually, Romulus killed Remulus with an axe, not a stone. And that doesn't have historical backing.  

[Ashyra Nightwing]

 This Rome thing is... odd. I reckon they're all experienced players under different names.. I'm pretty sure Peace is one of them... (look at the url for his avatar) maybe windy too, but I'm not sure about that... avatars can give away lots, you know.
Yes, Nero likes Pok?mon. So do I. Therefore, I like Nero.

[Gen. Volkov]

 Uh Trajan.. that point has already been made... several times....

[The Beatles]

 Actually, you're both wrong. He was called 'Remus', not 'Remulus'. So there! :P

[Gen. Volkov]

 I never said anything about the names.. so how can I be wrong.. I just noticed the Remulus Beatles... I shoulda caught it myself.. *Smacks himself* And you call yourself a history buff..

[Juska]

 Dang! I wanted to report the Remulus thing. By the way have anyone of you Emperors ever taken Latin? It would be a nice touch if you guys did.

[Constantine]

 I am relatively sure that Marcus Aurelius knows some latin, but I'm not positive.

[The Lady Shael]

 *nod* I thought it was rather neat that you all are going by the Roman history and myths...I know a little Latin, if that helps...
