"...you say goodbye, I say hello..."
« on: April 08, 2007, 10:11:30 PM »
Hey everybody, I'm Spencer, also the leader of Barceleroth.  I'm new to NationStates, but I love studying government/history, and I'm really looking forward to having some fun here.  Other than that, I apologize for the Beatles lyrics.  :)   (unless you're all a bunch of classic rock nuts like me.  ;) )  And I hope to get to meet most of you sooner or later.   Now let's PARTY!!!  :drunks:

Hey. Welcome to Taijitu.

Im not really a big Beatles fan, but I like the album I own (St. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band) and I like 70/80s stuff like Yes, Genesis, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins etc.

Is there any particular historical area/period you're interested in?

Thanks for the welcome guys.  About history, I'm up to my eye balls in American history, especially Constitutional/Civil War eras.  I also enjoy the world wars, English history, and like every guy, medievil history.  :)  I'm also interested in Greek and Roman history, but I can only read for so many hours of the day.  ;D

Ahh... Another fan of medieval and Greco-roman history. I assume The G-R history is mythology or is it an overview of the time and life of them?

In any case, Welcome! And join our marvelous RP section!

Why on Earth would you assume it's mythology? In my personal opinion the achievements of both the Roman as well as the Greek cultures of ancient times are far greater in their interest value than the mythology alone. After all, there's only so much you can care about the war of Troy, especially compared to Thermopylae, Teutoburg (yeah, I know, Roman stuff) and Salamis and what-not.

Like I said, I'm interested in Greco-Roman history, but if I told you that it was my most knowledgable subject, I'd be full of it.  :)  And Talmann, did you mean that everything besides an overview of the time and life of Greece/Rome is mythology?  But thanks for the welcome.  And if you meant role-playing by RP, I'm a complete novice, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone could give me some sort of overview.

In all brevity, in a RP you have characters and you narrate their actions and thoughts and others react to those actions with their own characters.

@ Sol-1st off: Troy isn't Mythology, per se. I meant the stories of the gods, they are the more humorous and intriguing of all the stories;
2nd: I know the culture of both civilizations, as well as their military accomplishments, were EXTREMELY important as a foundation for the modern world;
3rd: We're cluttering Barceleroth's Welcome thread. 3 strikes, we're out!

@ Bar- No I didn't mean that.. see above. And the how-to section, I think, has some overview on RP. But really all you do is make stuff up.  Granted, there are rules on how far you can go, BUT... We'll tell you if you go too far. So have fun  :)

Oooo, thanks for the warning, Sol.  ;D 

I checked out the role playing area...  I just wanted to double-check that nobody's going to jump on my back if I just jump in on the middle of one?

I consider myself a classic rock nut. Didn't think there where many of us out there.
