BJ died

BJ has died. I have no proof, but im sure. Someone has studied him, studied all his intrests and learned them, then taken his place. The person now avalible is very similar to BJ in some ways, yet something doesnt make sense. There is something diffrent. Its hard to pin it down, but its somehow, wrong.

When I think of that summer, it opens
like a pleat in cloth: lake, tree, out-

Hi

Today is as follows; cold, grey, hostile, stressful

Friday i go to Poland. Friday Swarm Reigns fights. Maybe i can check results at the airport.

Its cold today, like i said. its generally bad.

Now im listening to Calexico. Ive been listening to Frank Sinatra after opening up the day with Pantera - Floods and Crowbar - Nothing.

Swedush Quo

Ok, argh, thats what i have to say about Sweden today, but there is more.

The swedish dental whateverssociation has started investigating how much sugar children in day-care eat. Its like... oooooooh 21,524 grams too much little child, now we must re-evaluate all our lifestyles so that our kids dont eat 21,524 grams too much sugar coz it will increase their hole in teeth rate by 1,325% and it will increase thise chances of becoming anorectic by 0,324632626% and ... and so forth. BLAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

In the 50's Sweden was the richest country in the world. Left untouched by the bombs, left alone to supply the whole broken world with iron, steel, copper, knowledge, you name it. We became the new upper class of humanity. The people that had ignored war, become the new standard of good life. A nation ruled by middle class where the diffrence between rich and poor was smaller than anywhere in the world, yet it was not communistic. This is where the "father knows best" state was born. In the Soviet Union, the party knew best and in the US everyone knew best. Sweden was a mix. Everyone knew best, except everyone knew that the state knew better. Its a swedish mentality that sure, im good, but im not the best.

The state launched lots of programs for researching the "average swede" patterns, like how a housewife cleans her kitchen, and then theyd create optimal solutions for how to vacuum your kitchen without hurting your back. There is a movie called Kitchen Stories (i think) where you can see this.

Anyway, the state issued lots of guides, guidelines, advices, rules and even laws for how to live more safe and more healthy.

Every week, even today there are new studies on how the average swede does things. How do you eat your pancakes? Do you eat it with correct posture? If you dont, you have increased risks of getting AIDS from Teheran.

Sweden got the best living standards in the world. It was the safest place to live. It was, best. But still, did it make us happier? Is the average swede happier than the average Japanese (probably) or the average Bedouin? I guess it depends mostly on how a swede and a bedouin defines happiness. A swede would need 1000000000 things, a bedouin would need a camel and a few wifes and he'd be all set. I wonder how many average citizen researches the average bedouin has conducted (during their 1000's of year old history).

My second book

The Second Temple of Inderdaad, by me

Consumed tonight

Controllers

Today ive been listening to lots of 80's music. Started the day with nice Scarface soundtrack. Then some more, but argh, i took the bus as usual, but i had to ride half the trip with those ticket controlling bitchass cocksucker fuckers on board.

Here is some of them raiding a tram. They stand the bus along the tram rails, between stops and they dont let anyone out without control. Its like, raid. They got on with me on the stop today. Reminded me that i forgot to bring my ticket from home so i had to buy a new one. Makes no diffrence tho. What matters is i had to see their fucking faces for nearly 10 minutes. Its like being in the presence of Adolf Hitler. You feel the evil of society creep up on you. Being watched, controlled, punished. Some chick next to me was "controlled". I was surprised to see she wasnt measured and weighd. They called up some office and controlled her social security number coz she couldnt give proper ID.

I hate them so much. However, ive never been caught in their controls. Its been close a few times, but im teh l33t n34k. I rarely go illegaly now tho. Controls are too hefty and i cba the stress. I dont need to save money anyway, and i dont wanna give them the pleasure to ever catch me.

Last time i sneaked without paying was riding the subway, coz i dont ever go subway and i didnt know where to punch my ticket, until it was too late :) I was so scared id get caught coz i work for the subways as a contractee. :D Would be snoozy to get busted by them.

Anyway..

BLEH

Shit

EAT TEH FROGSSSS

Ugh, today i noticed some crap in RomeTW. Like some Numidian general all of the sudden turned Egyptian, and i can control him, but not see what kind of units he has. Wtf?

Only 666BAAL666 lost today. Bhaw has good rank in Amateur HW. Yay.


Im going away a bit next friday. Ill be back on the monday, not the following week, but the one after. 25th to 7th if that helps.

Im making another book, about the Second temple of inderdaad.


I hope someone will enjoy it.

Adobe Illustrator part III

So its over then. Im now a certified Illustrator noob. Yay. Basically, ive filled in the blanks from my selflearning adventures in Illustrator. I can do more things and i can do illustrations more controllable and perfect. Im far from pro at it, but i learned some tricks. So, im good.

Apart from that... Swarm Reigns won and Brutus lost. :( 2 in a row, maybe mighty Brutus is slipping up? Swarm won 500.000 and is now my richest guy :)

•• Swarm Reigns's record is 12-3-0 (12/2).
•• His current rating is 15 and his status is 15.
•• His career earnings are $2,283,314 .


Furthermore, its weekend, which means i can sleep longer in the mornings and not sleep at all at night. Its mostly a bad thing, but there is something worse now.
Its over a year ago now that i started work on NT2, the sequel to Ninja Tefat - Avenger. Work is completely stopped and i might even remake the whole movie from scratch. NT2 basically had a boring, long and lame plot.

If i had a good text i could have made another book too. Making books is fun stuff. I must thank Gliptic for proofreading so well. I think we zapped most bugs there.



I dont use these things. Not my style.

Vamos a la playa (no thats not my style either)

Adobe Illustrator part II

Second day was very smooth and passed much quicker. Maybe coz i didnt have to wait outdoors for a train for 30 minutes in -5 morning air. It helped. Anyway, unlike the first day there, this time i learned some things. Mostly about aligning and carving objects. Very useful things really which i could have learned myself if i had tried probably, but now i learned them in school instead. Its also useful because these tools exist in InDesign too. Double usage of this knowledge that is.

Also the second day i was way past the others and i know now that all ill learn in this class is easy stuff that i dont know only because i havnt seen them yet. I dont use illustrator much so no wonder.

Last day tomorrow. We will see what happens then. Teacher said we would be using the text tools lots. Sounds intresting. I hope.



•• Yuri Jardel lost a fight, but didnt drop in the ranks. Still 3rd.

•• I almost made a movie out of my book, but i couldnt cast any actors so i gave up. Its not worth the effort anyway. But i do want to make NT2 soon. I feel it every day almost now. I want to, but cba. Its too much crap with all the saving and stuff. Im thinking about some intresting things. Solutions. Nothing feels good enough though.

Thats all.. bye.

Consumed today

Adobe Illustrator part I

Learning Illustrator

Ive been on this course where you learn basic Illustrator usage. Unfortunatley, it was mostly very basic. Relaxing though. I almost beat the teacher in making the most opitmal paths. Yay. We mostly learned tools and some basic drawing. Stuff you can teach yourself mostly. Besides, its so much like InDesign and im learning that at the same time so its quite elementary.

We got to do some exersices like.. draw something around this pixeled image, or draw some figure, make a copy of this picture. Etc etc. Very easy stuff. The others in my group are more unknown in the Adobe jungle it seems. Especially in illustrator. Was a walk in the park for me. I hope i wont get too cocky. Ill get passed by. I must pay attention.

We got the cheese/ham slush for dinner and it was as it always is. Slushy. Got some bread and stuff too. I had lots of cheese on mine. Both of them even.



Apart from this, last night i made a book. Conent was not the important. The important part was that it was fun to make it. Its e-book, PDF.

Download it here (or from the mirror)

Its kindof about Liero matters, so if you dont care. Dont read. Just fun to make. I might make a book of my blog too, if i cba :)

Poison eggs?


She's kinda fat on some pics. Fat for a celebrity anyway. With disregard from some of them. So, why is she fat? Well, lets have a look at some completely irrelvant pictures:




So what can we conclude from this? There are two alternatives. Either she eats too much, or she just doesnt bother being "ideal" slim. Maybe shes just awesome. So, shall we look at some more pics? Hmm, no? Ok, lets not then.. but here is one anyway.



Now, onto more unserious matters!
http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/2004mn4.html

When does it happen? I have no idea. It probably says on that site, but its not really in english i think. Blah, this was a boring subject. Blogging is less fun than i thought. At least today.


I wrote a book. :O Yes, be stunned... like norwegian blue. But i did ... MAKE a book. I copied lots of entries from a Forum thread, and made a book. Isnit cool? Its about 30 pages long. Not finished yet coz it lacks some posts to conclude the topic. I made a really pretty design which im pleased with.

Ill post a link for download here when im done.
I hope itll be soon.

I made it in InDesign 2.0 which is severely inferior to InDesign CS. Just letting you know :)


So, its not photoshopped?

I'm paralized

So, Joosa found sources to Liero 0.25 and some of us drops jaws. Some dont. However, Liero is a game with a very special place in my heart due to my many adventures in the wormy worlds.



Finding of the 0.25 might be very insignificant though. Liero has been remade in 4 working clones and we no long have use for old sources. However, its a cool thing, and we love it. yay.



My campaign continues. Egyptian armies conquer provinces from Julii along the south french coast indending to make it Senatorial and Cathagian property. I suppose Carthage will declare war on me one day or another, even tho im the sole reason to their existance. But its AI, right? So.. Pharao has been safely returned to Memphis and as a celebration of his return, Alexandria was "purified" with the slaughter of 30.000 citizens. Its profitable you know. They were bitcy and revolting anyway.

Kydonia is the seat of the new northern army now. Itll be my buffer to greece. Im gonna try and recruit some new generals around the world. Hm, and Carthage is given away. Belongs to rebels at the moment coz Carthage couldnt control them really. Ill retake it and massacre the people a bit, then itll be all fine i think. Sicily will soon be all Carthagian too. However, i feel that if i dont destroy Scripii in Italy it will soon be blue again.

Enough about that.


I bought some new funny beers. Ill post pics as i consume them. One was LOW CARB beer. I havnt tried that before. Might be icky :) I bought some snobbish english beer too.

Signing out ping pong, ill go make pizza now.

Flame: Hollywood and affilated industries

I read today some lists on imdb. Best of 2004 and the Worst of 2004

Best action movie: Spider-man 2

Ok, how about this. I disagree to the point where i would use a crowbar to slowly bend up the skull and light matches on the surface of the brain of whoever voted that. Spider-man was a intensly dull movie with poor cgi. Its not in any way the worst movie of the year, but its so far from the best.

I noticed that Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11 was often listed on the "worst" lists. Even a spinoff of Fahrenheit 9/11 was listed. So, bom bom bom, i can understand that. F 9/11 was very onesided, just like Fahrenhype was. Im starting to feel like in the United States of (Satan) America ;) there is no between. Only good and evil, wrong or right. Bush or someone else. I have a feeling that a lot of americans are trying to dig up the truth of their beloved nation, but im starting to feel like there is no truth in that country. Its only their opinions, all the time. Its a superficial culture based on an idea that this is the promised land where true freedom can be found. Its of course pure bullshit. Humans have always lived in the promised land, and we still do. True freedom can only be found in solitude.
I dont know whats wrong with those americans, i just know i dont like them and their ideals. I know im not alone in thinking this. (Im not saying there are no good americans).

Hm, ah. This..




My RomeTW empire: No further progress, i didnt play last night.

WeBL: Brutus Gahled, my trusty swarmer lost after 11 straight wins. His first career loss comes as more of a relief. To be undefeated is a burden. A stress. Anyway, Swarm Reigns won by KO in round 1 (1:41) which is in the manner of which we are accustomed. On a sidenot i can mention my 3rd ranked Yuri Jardel was not scheduled to fight next week.

IRC: Im sick and tired into infinity of the :o smiley and i might concider taking hostile and violent actions towards the abusers. I dunno. Maybe im too lazy. For now i just avoid them. Also, i set a time to /say :o every 5 seconds and left it running for 2 hours. They didnt get the hint.

Jagged Alliance 2: I still dont know how to play it, or why. But i feel compelled to start playing it just to make someone happy.

TrueCombat: The new version is kindof dullifying. M16 has become restricted to Burst or single shot ONLY. It makes me sick to use it. Ill forever go with PSG-1 and MP5/10. I still havnt tried this new rifle i saw the Specop snipers had. I also noticed some silenced rifle. Was it M4?
The new map Snow. Well, maybe its good, i havnt learned it yet, but its kindof.. boring i think. I need to practice more. AK47 was powered up i think. More so, its not restricted like M16. I think the new clip awareness system is a bit uncomfortable, but i guess its more realistic. The map "village" is less attractive now. The Terrorist spawn is much too unprotected and difficult to defend.

Anyway. Thats all ive got to say about that.


Summary: Hollywood sucks, i rule ;P

Jagged Alliance 2

i dont know anything about this game and i cant play it :(

Now before i collapse and crush into the tales of my Egyptian empire, i shall instead try to avoid this delicate subject and instead talk about RomeTW and my Egyptian empire. Omg, did i fool you there? No i didnt. I WONT blog again about it. At least not today.

So what can i blog about. Hmm, maybe Epson printers are too slow (and all other printers too) or maybe some flame on something swedish. Hmm.. lets see.

First, a praise to the l33tness of these 2 artists:

1. Army of Lovers

- Yay for Jean-Pierre Barda. He's gay and very gay and more gay than you can believe even from this picture, but at least he doesnt bother me with it, like some other people do.

2. Thomas DiLeva

- The more diffrent than the average diffrentee artist, playing out 110% on the love eachother subject, 110% inspired by 50% of Jesus teachings. Love love love and flowers and of course... EVERYONE IS JESUS!


.. lets continue with some flames


3. Naken-Janne (Nude-John?)

- This bastard thought it would be a good thing to take part of a reality show (Swedish: Farmen) as an active and pursuaded nudist. Of course leaving his mark on the average TV-addict and in the aftermath of the shows season leaving great impression on the low rank celebrety events where he enjoyed to appear in his adam-suit (to get attention). Often thrown out. My opinion is that i have never seen this person on TV and i dont want to see him at all. I dont watch TV. Fortunatley for me tho, the newspaper gave him whole football fields of coverage. Fucking Media society!

4. Christer Pettersson

- Mr. Petterson passed away recently. His life was an extreme failiure. Alcoholic, bum, murderer. One thing changed all for him though. Olof Palme, prime minister of Sweden was gunned down with a revolver in central Stockholm in 1986, Pettersson became a prime suspect, convicted, then set free again. Courts couldnt convict him. No murderer was found. Either a pro killed Palme and by luck or skill got the blame on Pettersson, or Pettersson shot him randomly either by mistake or during some speed-freaking. Who knows. Noone will ever know. He fell, hit his head and died later from something. He's a kind of strange celebrety in Sweden, much like Tomas Quick (who claims to have murdered something like 40000 children, NO ONE KNOWS) and since he was released, was free to do as he pleased. He could tell newspapers pretty much anything he wanted as long as they paid him some money for his booze. Some people hated him, some feared him, some pitied him. The fact was that he was a real murderer who once upon a time became enraged, stalked a man then slished him down with a bayonette in a dark alley. But now, dead.

That wasnt really a flame, but it was silly. So blooogohoooh



The Hulkess? No, its Greta Garbo

Argh, mostly RomeTW

The horse marries the doggy. Finally. Eat my stink Charles!


Welcome to a new dawn. Todays host is me again, and there are none other. Um, so anyway. I woke up earlier today so that i could finish watching Kill Bill vol 1 before coming late to work. Well, yes, its evil and dumb of me. But its done now, and its done every day. I should shape up tho. Arrival at 9 is demanded of me, so should be able to manage that. Maybe from tomorrow on.

I think Kill Bill vol. 1 was better than Kill Bill vol. 2


So, about Egypt.

My campaigns into Europe and Africa had a goal which was to destroy Roman dominion over the ancient nations. Brutii provinces would be given to Greeks and Scipii provinces to Carthage. Weakened Carthage only had Palma and Corduba but have now been given Carthago Nova and Osca. Soon the entire Ibiran-French coastline will be Carthagian. Any other Julian province taken will be given to SPQR. Senate is far more peaceful than the houses.

However, my campaign against Brutii was going really well. Pharao had sailed from Antioch and landed near Halicarnassos. Walked to Troy and sailed across the Agean to land near Athens. Then sealing a military access treaty, he walked across Greece, destroying the Roman armies threatening Greece. Then during the siege of Salona, the Greeks betrayed the alliance and laid Siege on Halicarnassos. A hostile, and well armed Greece now stood between Pharao and Egypt. There was no easy passage to sail him out on ships since the oceans were dotted with hostile navies. Massive Egyptian fleets were launched from all over to set Pharao safe.

Halicarnassos was sieged for years, and eventually attacked. 4 rams could not be destroyed and both the gate and the wall was breached. 3000 greek hoplites stormed in and the Egyptian forces decided to stand their ground in an alley where the greek armies would march in. It was a long and hard fight. Over 1500 greeks were needed to crush the 800 brave egyptian Nile and Nubian spearmen. All nubians were killed and only 2 Nile spearmen could escape. One was killed as he tried to flee through greek forces. The last one stood fast as the last man standing of the Egyptian forces. He stood his ground, pike lowered as 1000 greek armoured hoplites charged him in full attack. A true Egyptian hero.
The govenor also died bravely, first trying to cirkle around the plentiful hoplites, using bow and arrow to inflict more damage, then using chariot wheel hub blades to cut down foes. Eventually, only one chariot remained and managed to cirkle around the hoplites 4 laps, cutting down the invaders, before himself being slain. The govenor was armenian, yet a valued Egyptian.
Tarsus was sieged too, but by a smaller force and it was able to repell the attackers already at the gates, but at a high cost. Brave nubians defended well.

Pharao was eventually evacuated by a fleet and was sailed to Sparta. Corinth was already under siege by a supporting Egyptian army. Pharao started the siege of Sparta soon after Corinth fell. Both cities were widely destroyed. Both armies were then evacuated to Kydonia where they will rest before Pharao sails home with his veteran army. The other army will probably stay to defend Kydonia from invaders.

If Halicarnassos will be retaken is uncertain. Pharao is old and probably tired of war. To retire would probably be lovely. Retire in the peaceful and rich lands along the Nile, where he has never been must seem tempting, even to a Parthian as him.
One that also longs for the Nile is Lucius Scipio, traitor to his own family and heir to the Egyptian throne. Still trapped in Carthage. Naval instability prevents him from traveling.


Maybe some screenshots later.


Im listening to Skalpel now. Very neat music. But i cant really talk much about it now. Ill say that Yuri Jardel is now ranked 3rd in his weight. Yay. Maybe a title fight soon. NO ONE KNOWS!! >:D

I cant really write more coz im so into the whole storytelling about RomeTW. Heheh, ill flame something later maybe.

Get ready for the ZONE!!!

My hero

Ace of Base

this is very dedicated to

Ace of Base



Ace of Base was some swedish act that we encountered in the early parts of the years of doom. Their lineup was disastreously similar to ABBA, which isnt so bad, but they were from Gothenburg. Thats just wrong. Gothenburg is a lame-metal city. Not pop. But after all, it WAS the early parts of the years of doom.

Not very unlike Roxette, who were probably at their carreers peak when AoB came around, they played the extremely ubercatchy yet dramaticly intresting pop music that would counquer the world. Its a swedish tradition. ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base.. A-teens. You know. Catchy. Sticks in your brain for days. Its really a pest to hear such music, although some people enjoy it. I dont understand them really.

Now, lets get to the lame essentials of our... or my dia..monolog. Ace of Base. What kind of a stupid name is that?!! Ace, yes, like in the card came. Ace can mean you top all. "Aced it" = finished with unbeatable results. Ok, so they are the best. But what are they best at? Best of a base? So, is it like.. Guantanamo? Base as in the instrument... or maybe a basement where they make porn? Its confusing. Repulsive. The most repulsive thing is that it ryhmes. Catchy name. Ace of Base. Just like the songs. They stick. Once youve heard "I saw the sign" you wont forget it. You wont think, hmm what was that band now, the ones with signs. You know it, its Ace of Base. Its a sticky name. Bam! Brainwashed. Fucking Gothenburg.

Now there is Håkan Hellström too. He makes swedo-folk-samba i think. Its enerving after a while. Then there is uberlameness like In Flames. uuuh, maybe they are Gothenburgians. I hate them anyhow. Gah, there was.. hmm.. Hardcore Superstar, and LOK. Some badass music wannabes. Nothing new, nothing cool, but hey, it was catchy. Its the swedish way.

••• Summary of RomeTW/Egypt campaign

Hispania given to Carthage. Lilybaelum given to Carthage, reclamed by Scipii (probably through peasant revolt) - targeted for recapture by Egypto-Sicilan forces. Roman influence in Northern Africa removed by Egyptian general and newly appointed heir, Lucius Scipio.
The royal campaign of the Pharao has reached the Adriatic sea. Instead of marching on Appolonia, which is closest, but then risking a roman army coming from uphill in the back, Pharao in all his splendor decided to march past Appolonia to Salona up the coast. There he crushed a Brutii army and now stands unopposed to siege Salona, whereafter Appollonia will be nearly undefended. After this, the sea is not wide to cross onto Italian mainland.

Main goals in Egyptian campaign
1. Preserve Egyptian culture and defend homeland.
2. Secure an empire along the eastern coasts of the middle sea.
3. Strengthen fellow ancient cultures in disfavour of Roman expansion.
4. Create a stable economy.
5. Maintain a line of talent in the Pharaonian line.


••• Updates on IRL activities:

I walked home from work yesterday. Refreshing.

In the caves of Minos

Hello fellow web browser users.

Today i have studied the history of the kings Midas and Minos. Midas was the guy who got this midas touch where everything he touched turned to gold. Unfortunaltey this included food and members of his family. He begged Dionysos to take it back, and he was told how to neutralize his l33t gift.

Minos was king of Crete, and a powerful such. Ruler of Crete and the Hellenistic islands sometime during the 15th century BC (3 generations before the Trojan war). Minos had lots of strange things happening. His wife was raped by a white bull (which emerged from the sea, sent by Poseidon) while hiding inside a wooden cow. She gave birth to the minotaur, half bull half man, which was scary. Then he had lots of encounters with various gods who fucked him up. Eventually he was killed in Sicily by some chick that boiled him. Very mean.

In Rome:TW, Crete is Kydonia and its a very small province, recently conquered by me in my Egypian campaign. I mean to use it for campaigns into Illyria and Trace. Halicarnassos will be its Twin in these missions.

My initial armies were the Nubian spearmen protecting my Bowmen. Now that my armies have become more advanced, i now command in general, Nile spearmen, protecting Bowmen, flanked by various mercenaries or egyptian infantry and supported by outflanking cavalry. The core is the Bowmen which are more efficient than any artillery. Accurate, fast and deadly they deliver rains of arrows to marching enemies. Especially to slow phalanx units. Rarely do any army even reach my lines of spearmen. Any army showing signs of reaching my lines will soon be deminished by roaring cavalry. Romans are good soldiers, however too few to be able to reach my lines.

My Pharao is a Parthian turncoat whom i bribed with gold. He is the destroyer the the Seleucid empire, now turning his eye to the west. After the seleucid fall the new main enemy is the Roman republic. In an effort to defend the ancient from the modern, a defeat of Scipii and Brutii will allow the continued existance of Macedon, Greece and Carthage. A possible destruction of Numidia will allow a strong Carthage.

This is my egyptian politic.

BOW TO PHARAO!

CONSUMED TODAY

Uuuh, nothing to say

Yay this is a blog about nothing. Uhm, i have nothing to say really. Hm, random picture...



So... um, today many many thing happened. I retired Max Equq to save him from further disgrace. 666BAAL666 will remain.
I keep winning with the others tho. Made a new guy too.

I went shopping today. They had rearranged the store so i was like... lost and stuff. Looks better now tho. I bought milk, yoghurt, beer,.. shit forgot the crisps, bread, pizza, fries, soda... and... uhm.. dunno.

Ive played RomeTW today. My egyptian campaign goes well. It crashed while i was about to storm the walls of Carthage tho. But it was cool to storm a city with Cilician pirates :D Pirates own. They cant even form lines, they just stand in... an area.

Some updates

• • Today i came to work at 9:45. Fortunatley my boss is in London. Worse tho is that someone called me from London last night and forgot to say anything to me. I know my boss and some people are there and that sometimes your mobile phones can get squished in a pocket and call people by themselves, but this was from a London number. Its hard to accidently call people from stationary phones in London and forget to speak in them. Well, unless they were really drunk. I could hear some people in the background. Several.

• • My fighter Yuri Jardel in WeBL defeated c.tettero from chinagirls gym on Friday 2 for 288,000 dollars, sending Jardel to 4th position in the rankings. Next opponent is the 5th ranked ModernReaper (53-43-1 42/16) from the GDR`S GYM. This makes Jardel my most successful Amateur fighter with 15-2-1 (8/1). However, the quite undisputed champion AM Hihetetlenul Zavaros Mekk Elek of the Carpathian Destroyers. He has 31-5-1 (26/3) with 14 regional title wins. Yay? Ney!

• • This rich guy that was kidnapped in Gothenburg 17 days ago was returned yesterday. No money was payed. No arrangements were made. They just let him go. The theory is that they were east europeans that came here as professional criminals to get rich. Sweden is a bit harder to work in than they though though. This isnt Russia or Mexico. There is nowhere to hide. Scotland yard had two of their experts directing the police work and the kidnapees face was more well known than the image of Jesus Christ on the cross. Maybe they gave up and went home.

• • The cop that robbed a bank. It was actually before christmas that he did it. Now it seems he used the money to pay 17 unpayed bills the day after the bank hit. Then he took some of the money home and told his wife he had released some funds or sth. Some of the money was stored in the police station all along. He had gotten away with around 700,000 SEK and could also afford to purchase a new car. Later on he learned that he was sought after and he turned himself if. The money was still in the police station. I dont know how they found out it was him tho.

Rome TW i love

So.. here it is.
The long expected and massivly productive post about Rome: Total War!

Im gonna tell you a little story about my empire. The Juilian/Roman empire. Rulers of most of the known world.

Julii starts out with 2 provinces. Its weak and counted as Romes least worthy faction. However, a rapid defeat of Gaul in the north of Italy, taking of Sardinia brought a good position in the race for province possession in the Roman Republic. Soon I had secured all that now is northern Italy and Monaco. My gread leader, Lucius Julius and his successor whoms name i now forgot secured the homeland completely. Never again would non-roman armies walk on Julian homelands.



After the glorious days of Lucius, a time of competitions of the last provinces of Carthage and Trace began. Against Scipii and Brutii of course. I took Kydonia and Halicarnassos from the Greeks, also Rhodes. Important outposts for me.
I now became the largest of the Roman factions and i approached the point of being undefeatable. I started moving on Hispanic settlements. Marcus Harsa became overlord of Hispanian provinces.

Then, the birth of a new leader. I could smell the glory from the moment he was born. Gaius Julius was born. From that moment, i made a plan for world domination. An army was build during his childhood, and when he became a man, an army stood ready, and he marched it into Gaul. (If you wonder whats so special about that, read this)

He wasted no time in Gaul, instantly conquering city after city. Soon Gaul was in submission. The last of the Gaul generals, someguy the mighty was recruited by julian diplomats. This man was put in charge of keeping peace and eyes on Gaul.

A short war was made on the Britons, but was quickly ended and the British isle was left to Britonic rule. However, through Roman dominance, they lost their mainland provinces to Germania. The north was left untouched by Gaius.
His next goal was obvious to the knowers of history. He was the one to march his legions to Rome, crushing the weak senatorial armies and entering Rome.

Now begins the great civil war of the destroyed Roman Republic. Gaius Julius moves into Greece and Trace and finishes off the Brutii empire while his great cousin Luca Julius and his brothers end Scipian and Brutian dominance in the Italy. Sicily is taken, thereafter wars in Africa and Scipii is subsequently vanquished.

Realising the quick demise of Trace under both Julian and Brutian invasions and the quite silly purchase of an old Tracian general ends in the complete destruction of Trace. This is the last faction to be vanquished.

Brutii is pressed back by the new imperial legions of Gaius Julis Caesar up to the edges of Scythia. On the verge of destruction, the Julians withdraw and leave them to regain strength, merely 2 provinces from annihalation.

Gaius moves back to Italy and Rome, but only stays there for a few years. Wars have begun in Egypt and fearing that his great cousin Cornelius will take all the glory, he commands Cornelius to remain passive until he can arrive with his own legions. Gaius sail on a very dangerous trip and is nearly sunk by Brutii navies. He arrives in Egypt and destroyes the last of the Egyptian main army.



In the end, Cornelius was left in command of Egypt along with a recruited Egyptian noble. The egypian in Thebes and Cornelius in Alexandria.



Gaius Julis now had achieved the title "Gaius the butcher" and among his trait you could find "Exterminator". He had made extermination of people into a kind of art. He was a master of it (and gained 30% looting bonus). He now sailed back with his army, strengthened by brilliant Thebian blacksmiths into the best equipped army in the world. The sail home was long an all the time, his son Marcus grew older.

When Gaius Julius, ruler of the empire returned for the last time to Rome he was over 50 years old and his son was merely 10 years old.



Marcus soon grew up, and was instantly declared heir to the empire. A title previously held by the governer of Rome, Luca Julius. Luca however was merely 2 years younger than Gaius Julius and was only a buffering heir in the await for Marcus.



Around the world, the Roman empire had under Gaius united into including 47 provinces. In the west, Rome held all of Gaul, apart from the costline towards the brittish isles which had been given to the demised Cathagian empire. Mighty Carthage, once rulers of the entire western mediterranian were now only masters of northern Gaul and Libya. Corduba and Portual were lost in rebellions, only lately reclaimed by the son of Marcus Harsa, Oppius Harsa.

In fear of extincion of the spanish, spain were given regions in asia minor, Cyprus and Siwa. They have survived. Germania dominates northern europe but is defenceless to the roman sword which is always held at its throat. A roman expidition with vast armies was launched to take Germanic provinces and providing them with proper paved roads. It has almost been completed now. Marcus Julius is part of this campaign.

In the south, Rome is in possession of Carthage with surrounding provinces. Ruled by the adopted and decorated soldier Oppius Poitius.



In the east, only the cost of Armenia is roman. Efforts are made to strengthen Parthia and Scythia. Provinces like the pontic costline and Jerusalem are granted to Brutii. Better than being rebel.



This is a strong empire which rules all the world, only being threatened by time.
Its economy is unpenetrable with a 1,3 million deniarii treasury and most turns being profitable by thousands.

Roma victor!
