Sirosis, good news about RoN and 56k in the forum. If you do decide to get it we should get together for a game.

Haven't made up my mind yet. Don't have much time lately for gaming so I'm holding off on RoN for now. If I get it take it easy on me.

[Snotty]

As for the taking it easy on you part, well we wil just have to wait and see how well you do in this game......

Caesar, the Greeks have appeared at our front door

Wonderful...send them in at once....

But Caesar...shouldn't they be killing the English, who have also arrived ?
Our alliance with the Greeks against the English was signed a mere 200 years ago...why aren't they pillaging and destroying the English cities to the South?

Take it easy senator...I am sure they mean us no harm...perhaps they have come to Rome's defence, and to purge our lands of these wretched English.
Here, let me peer out of my window, and see the Greeks myself.
Ahh .. You see Senator...they are very friendly...take look for yourself...they are wheeling a great big wooden horse to our gates. It is a gift from the Greeks to boost our spirits, as our archers prepare for war.
Quickly ...wheel it in at once.


**Caesar returns to his slumber...confident that his veteran archers and spearman can easily repel the English attack.**


Caesar.... Please you must look at this wooden horse for yourself.....We can hear scratching and whimpering from inside.

Rats perhaps Senator???

That is certainly what we thought Caesar. But the engraving on the horse says it is a gift to the City of Troy?

What is a Trojan Horse doing here at the Roman City of FeFiFoFum ?

It gets worse Caesar, as we were wheeling it in, a great big fat Greek ass fell through a trap door. He was wearing the regular clothing of the Greek army.

What are you saying Senator ??

The Greeks Caesar...They have double-crossed us and are attempting to infiltrate the city.

But how ? why ? The Greeks gave us their word ?? Have they no honour ?? Have they no regard to their reputation when this gets out ? Do they think they can make and unmake deals on a whim ?? Surely they would not attempt such a thing ??
How can they align themselves with the English, after agreeing to a military alliance with us ?

They have done it Caesar.

Senator ... Pass me one of those brand new spears.
I want to see how far I can jam it up that Greek ass.

[Hot_Enamel]

All in good fun of course

[SirOsis]

LOL.

Truly Cesear, the Greeks mean you no harm.

I am glad you enjoyed the gift.

[marcuspeddle]

Hmmm, can't trust anyone . . . . . I'm going home

*** Caesar nods and thinks that the English have made a wise decision to return to their homelands.

He returns to his war plans...Perhaps the Greeks have also seen the error of their ways. The next time, Rome will not be so easily fooled! ***[/COLOR]
