Meh? Number four? No pornography, obscene, or hate material... Oh wait, I get it. Texas is obscene by the fact of existing. Or the fact that it's taking over a part of Apollonia, which is offensive enough.

No Bill - number four on the second one. The one that the words "number four" link to.

He's not having much luck with this advertising campaign... nevermind your tips on (n)etiquette, in Babkha he has been banned and urinated upon by a dog and in Novaya Zemlya he has been ordered by the populace to perform fellatio.Besides, surely everyone knows citizen poaching is conducted over AIM these days.

Osman, no offense, but I hate the avatar. It's blurry, hard to distinguish, and whenever I look at it at first I think it is the planet Mars (because it is round and red with a white cap on the top). You should change that.Also, while I'm at it and in order to bring a point to this thread, I hate the name of the Great Satan's capital. I can't make most of the letters involved on my keyboard, I can't spell it, and I certainly can't pronounce it. Why don't you just shorten it to Tara, or Persepolis-Tara, or something like that? "Whenever I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my revolver." - Herman Goering

[Osman Shahanshah]

The capital's name is pronounced Shah-an-shah-i-Tara (Imperial Tara). You don't have to be able to spell it to obey it. Vafâdâr-Farrahmand-Piruzmand

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Could you at least spell it Shahanshahi-Tara instead of using the s's with lines over them?

[Osman Shahanshah]

Nah. Vafâdâr-Farrahmand-Piruzmand

[Osman Shahanshah]

Ok - avatar test, just to prove I don't ignore Shirerithian opinion entirely. Vafâdâr-Farrahmand-Piruzmand

[Stjepan Veliki]

I applaud the Shahanshah for standing up for diacritics! Really, I do. Just about every city and town in Polabia (which is NOT dead yet) has diacritics in it. As a general rule, when one is too lazy to type diacritics, one can either spell it phonetically or just leave it as is - like we do in Polabia.

Scott, Thanks for the advise, I am sorry I was not aware of the etiquette we are subject to. Now I know, one more thing to Shana-shana, or whatever his name is, why are you so mean??You should read the etiquette as well.To the rest of you, My respects,Augusto Benavides

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Shanashana's a Babkhan, that's why he's so mean. They're all like that 'cept maybe Darius and Ric. They're okay. But stay away from the rest of 'em. "Whenever I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my revolver." - Herman Goering

[Ryan]

We're not mean. We're honest. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

[Augusto Benavides]

With all due respect sir, it is not the same thing being honest and being mean and hostile, and this idiot is mean no less.I apologize to the rest in here for posting mean words, but I couldn't find better words to describe this person.

Life sucks, buddeh. Deal with it. Hypatia's Mom: Yay! I'm legal now.Moose: WE(Shireroth) HAVE NON-NOBLES?![21:11] Bill7D0: It's 9:11 PM. Do you know where your plane is?

[david northworthy beckfor]

I, for one, like the babkhan way of life...

[Davood Shahram]

so much so, that I half wish I was one

[Tahmaseb]

Well? It's no good just pondering about it.

[Augusto Benavides]

Wow, So is this Shanashana guy rude with everybody? or is it just with me?One more question, I don't understand, why does many people hate ex-martinos so much??Is this because of some martinos attitudes or is it against the whole bunch.

[Osman Shahanshah]

Every remark this Benavides fellow makes inspires in me a desire to commit a new cruelty against him. I am so very happy at the turn of events.... fresh blood. Vafâdâr-Farrahmand-Piruzmand

[Augusto Benavides]

Are you OK? What in wrong with you?What have I done to you?Are you my lost child?Did your foster parents hit you again?

27, why?

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Did anyone else just get a PM asking them to join Rio Grande? "Whenever I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my revolver." - Herman Goering

27?Buuuuuuuuulshit. Hypatia's Mom: Yay! I'm legal now.Moose: WE(Shireroth) HAVE NON-NOBLES?![21:11] Bill7D0: It's 9:11 PM. Do you know where your plane is?

[Augusto Benavides]

Why do you think it is bullshit?Actually, I was reluctant to disclose my age, because I might be too old for this hobby.And Scott, yes I sent the e-mail to several persons, mainly ex-martinos, and one or two guys that I believe are cool, but after your reply I stopped.

Augusto, do you have AIM?
