Hi, We're setting up a PitBoss BtS Team Democracy game at Apolyton and I was wondering if you would be interested in assembling 1 or 2 team(s). You can find more info in this link: http://apolyton.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=326

I don't know about Hillary, but merging the two sites, well I find it a good idea :b:

I guess you guys don't like much the idea of having more fresh blood, more good (and bad) ideas, more mods, more news items, better and faster support, faster browsing (no need to browse both sites if needed), better interaction with Civ developers, more than just civ (not sure if better for all...

I didn't say that Pericles was an emperor :D General-emperor was a chair given to an Athenian general under certain circumstances giving him absolute control in military operations. Note that under normal conditions the control of the army was at the hands of the 10 generals equally who were...

I don't think there is something within Jesus word that would inspire violence and hate. On the contrary. I've never heared of such inspiration but I might be wrong as I am not expert in religious issues. However some people that were supposed to mediate God on Earth according to the...

Actually there was a reasoning behind this decission. Pericles was the first to extend Athenian interests in Sicily and South Italy by making alliances with Greek city-states there that where afraid of the continual rise of power of their neighbor, Syracuse. Pericles took advantage of the...

It is not Christianity that is evil, it is those that in the name of God and Christianity having the power in their hands commited attrocities.

I am not sure if everything that Jesus Christ said are his own words or later additions or deliberate or not misinterpretations. I might displease some people but I am not even sure if he truly had claimed to be the son of god.
