Just one small point of order.....the so-called TNA was clearly in place long before Dave was even born

Some teams may have backed the claims of other teams early on in the game, yet the lack of your discretion in the use of units under your control has led many to a route that exceedingly brings forth the matter that the word Oblivion will be branded upon the footnote that your nation willl fill when the Gods of Babylon desend from the Heavens to walk this wonderland and live among the people that be their own. Nice!!!

Wow, four lines with a single sentence... planet

The temples at Babylon and many other metropolis burn incense like firewood to honour the dead warriors that have fallen so far.

Glory to the TNA! Peace to this world! Hegemony to Babylon!

[Daddy-O]

No harm done Paddy and Moonbars.

I was thinking this would be a place to announce the glories of TNA.

I still need the names of those Barbs.

[Paddy]

Thank you Skrob

[Daddy-O]

Halls of Honor updated. May they ride forever in glory!

(Where we lay our dead)

Babylon

In the Battle of Aquarius 1275BC at the hands of Desolation Row.
Horsemen Garibaldi, Ivanova, Sinclair, Sheridan

For the benefit of the rest of the world, allow me to elaborate on their heroism:

5 (yes, that's five) Horsemen from Babylon approached the walled city of Aquarius in what can only be described as a desperately optimistic gesture. Garibaldi and Ivanova were killed instantly by the tar that rained down upon them from the ramparts. Sinclair and Sheridan were captured and summarily decapitated by our scimitars, while the fifth Horseman was allowed to limp away with blood dripping from his wounds to tell his tale of woe to his masters. Any respectable General would execute him for his cowardice.

Thank you Aqualung71. You are an honorable victor in this battle. I will retract my statements in the Battle report thread.

I see that the goals of TNA are starting to take hold.

Everyone needs a little TNA!
Music, Honor, & Love to you all.

.....until all of a sudden a strong hand clasps him on the shoulder, and.....

CENTURION: What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?

BRIAN: It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'.

CENTURION: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!

BRIAN: Aah!

CENTURION: Come on!

BRIAN: 'R-- Romanus'?

CENTURION: Goes like...?

BRIAN: 'Annus'?

CENTURION: Vocative plural of 'annus' is...?

BRIAN: Eh. 'Anni'?

CENTURION: 'Romani'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'?

BRIAN: 'Go'. Let--

CENTURION: Conjugate the verb 'to go'.

BRIAN: Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'.

CENTURION: So 'eunt' is...?

BRIAN: Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'.

CENTURION: But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...?

BRIAN: The... imperative!

CENTURION: Which is...?

BRIAN: Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'!

CENTURION: How many Romans?

BRIAN: Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'.

CENTURION: 'Ite'.

BRIAN: Ah. Eh.

CENTURION: 'Domus'?

BRIAN: Eh.

CENTURION: Nominative?

BRIAN: Oh.

CENTURION: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?

BRIAN: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!

CENTURION: Except that 'domus' takes the...?

BRIAN: The locative, sir!

CENTURION: Which is...?!

BRIAN: 'Domum'.

CENTURION: 'Domum'.

BRIAN: Aaah! Ah.

CENTURION: 'Um'. Understand?

BRIAN: Yes, sir.

CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times.

BRIAN: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.

CENTURION: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

BRIAN: Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar and everything, sir! Oh. Mmm!

Romani ite domum!
