What's the deal with Cheaters?

Fascistdictator, are you one of the ones who can't figure out why the rest of the world thinks we're arrogant, self-righteous, and narrow-minded?

I know you have every right to be just as arrogant, self-righteous, and narrow-minded as you want, but when you do it so loudly, it causes problems for those of us who like to travel overseas without being ashamed of our countrymen and trying to disguise ourselves as Canadians.

It's tough working out just how to say "eh" [A] like a Canadian, but once you've got that down, it's a cinch.

FacistD - Your name is fitting. What are you, the forum nazi? And if you think that Libertarianism is related to Communism, you are terribly ignorant. Don't worry about it, though, go wave a flag, sing "God Bless America" a few times, and you'll feel fine.

As a Canadian, I applaud your post. Many of your countrymen could learn much by your example.

PS. Sorry, countrymen/women. Arrogance has no gender bias.

facistdictator:

Are you a DL for Ironikinit?

[facistdictator]

Arrian well what about your name, are you the forum aryan? By the way I'm not the one judging those who dont do what I do. You guys are the ones mouthing off at everbody telling them that if you cheat your that, or this, or so on and so on. I just get so sick of you people telling others that their wrong if they dont agree with you. Again if people are not bothering you and obeying the law leave them alone and keep your commie a$$ opinions to yourself. By the way I'm not a fascist I just chose the name because I like that type of goverment in the game.

Did you miss this from me?

I don't hold other men to my own standards, and I don't expect them to hold me to theirs. Do as you wish.

And this from Salvor?

If you want to cheat, go right ahead, it won't ruin my life.

You gonna dig your hole little deeper or apologize?

[Salvor]

So, FD, I suppose that means your answer to my question would be a "yes".

My post name

Facist -

Flavius Arrianus Xenophon was one of the more prominent figures in the Roman world of the 2nd century C.E. A native of Nicea (Iznik) in Bithynian Nicomedia (Izmit), he was a Greek Stoic philosopher and historian, who enjoyed Roman citizenship in the equestrian ranks. Arrian was a pupil of the famous Stoic philosopher Epictetus at Nicopolis and Arrian wrote up his lecture notes, or memorabilia. Perhaps while at Nicopolis he explored the surrounding countryside, for Arrian shows in his writings a firsthand familiarity with the regions of Ambracia and Amphilochia, as well as the sea route between Acarnania (south of Nicopolis) and the island of Leucas.

Later, he also visited Delphi (where he may have met Plutarch), when he was part of the advisory council for settling boundary disputes, which was headed by Avidius Nigrinus. During the emperor Trajan's (ruled 98-117 C.E.) Parthian campaign, Arrian may have served as an equestrian officer in Armenia (c. 114 C.E.). At some point he became part of the circle of the emperor Hadrian (ruled 117-138 C.E.), perhaps travelling with him in 121-122 C.E. and playing host when Hadrian wintered in Nicomedia in 123 C.E. What is certain is that Arrian enjoyed great favor under Hadrian. He may have been Proconsul in Baetica in 124 C.E., and perhaps was with the emperor on his visit to Africa in 128 C.E. (The noted Roman historian Anthony R. Birley, in his Hadrian. The Restless Emperor (London: Routledge, 1997), suggests that it was on this trip that Arrian may have gathered some of the ideas he would later incorporate into his book on Tactics, written in 136 C.E.)

Arrian was Consul in 129 C.E. (or perhaps 130 C.E.). He may again have been part of Hadrian's entourage during 129-130 C.E. As Governor of Cappadocia from 131/134-137 C.E., he kept in touch with Hadrian, displaying zeal in his governance and proving successful in handling a military emergency. When Pharasmanes stirred up the Alani people, Arrian quelled the trouble with a well-orchestrated show of Roman force (136 C.E.), about which he wrote in his Acies Contra Alanos (Order of Battle Against the Alani). Arrian enjoyed a long and successful career under Hadrian and his successor, Antoninus Pius (ruled 138-161 C.E.). Arrian's writing seems to have been done mainly during the 130s C.E. His most famous writing is his Anabasis, a history of Alexander the Great, written in Greek. A great admirer of the famous Greek writer Xenophon, Arrian imitated his style.

I read Arrian's Life of Alexander in college and thoroughly enjoyed it. So, tell me, what do you think that has to do with the word "Aryan?" It's spelled differently for a reason

I'd say you're safe with that assumption. Welcome to the boards, Salvor!

Well, number 2 on my ignore list. facistdictator, if you want people to take you seriously, I'd suggest you get rid of that moniker at the bottom of your post. Frankly, I find it offensive. Bye. Don't let the door hit you on on the way out.

Good point, Assur.

Thanks for the link, Lib, I'll check it out at some point.

Thanx for the history lesson Arrian, did you copy it word for word or did you make some of it up yourself.

Assur to answer your question no I dont. I'm on this forum in the name of freedom and not trying to throw my personal views about cheating to everyone else. By the way what on gods earth made you assume i had something against you. I was not even replying to you. So I will ask you the same do you have something against Americans?

Willem I may find the name Willem offensive so I'll impose my will upon you please remove it. Give me a break. Go hug a tree for me.
