Yeah, I pulled out another piece from this thread and it said Rudyard Kipling, so
:rotfl:
 
I got James Joyce from a random post of mine, but I think I'll try again later with an actual piece of writing.

Um. All Hail Britannia! (Stay on topic!) :p

Edit: I imagine that being said the way "stay on target" was said.
 
I got james joyce. Who the hell is he???:lol:. I think its a random selection of them.

EDIT: Or not. I put in my writing in segments, and i got a mixture of james joyce, and dan brown. Anyone recognize these names?
 
Copying in different sections of my book, I consistently got Dan Brown. However, I haven't opened my book file in months, so its a little out of date. I should get back on that...

Also, in case you don't know, Dan Brown is the guy who wrote the Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, etc.

EDIT: X-Post. Darn, Aysee beat me to it. :p

EDIT 2: Oh, and all hail Britannia!
 
Seriously, guys? You might as well have all just said "GO AWAY NEWCOMERS!!!" in every single one of your posts. I'm disgusted. There is a chatroom for a reason.

But nobody is ever on the chatroom when i get on. Plus, its easier to spam here then post saying go to the chatroom then wait up to 15 minutes for people to repsond, if they do at all.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's easy to spam, therefore you should spam. I forgot. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, whenever I go on the chatroom, no one's on:(...And when I catch up, I always skim over anything that looks like spam.

Maybe we should coordinate our login times!!
 
Recently, Lord Ilduce published his famous work Currency, The Lifeblood of the Modern World in London, and has also sparked the creation of the first system of such that England has ever seen. This is expected to strengthen the economy greatly in the coming years.

We have also completed a swift open borders agreement with Asoka, who was incredibly polite to our emissary-

-and developed Construction.

Our recent defeat at Arya-Nottingham has forced out men to defend Amsterdam, one of the other prestigious cities of Holland. We have, under the command of Lord Arya and Lord Mechaerik, cleared the immediate region of hostiles.

A column of Roman archers was recently spotted outside Ravus-York. Thinking quickly, Captain Athers of the Night Eagles and de facto commander of the vestigial thrust north from Iberia attacked then with his heavy infantry and drove them into defeat and rout.

Ramesses of Egypt also demanded we come to his aid against the Zulus in Africa. We turned him down, being preoccupied on the existing front.

However, the battles of the last three weeks have caught the attention of the English people as well, as unlike the trade agreement where we received monarchy from the Egyptians or the secret developments of Metal Casting, media coverage was allowed through war correspondents.*

After Athers' rout of the Roman troops, it occured to General Haulsee that the bulk of the Roman troops had withdrawn past Antium, probably to hold the line in Eastern Euope - the Russians had seized the Roman Iron at Arretium, Ukraine and the Vikings had taken control over Ravenna, Belarus. So, Haulsee wondered, would it be possible to take Ravus-York earlier then planned?

Operating on his sole initiative, Haulsee planned and executed a landing of 9000 Swordsmen in three companies and two batteries of 200 catapults in Normandy. Athers advanced from the south with the ragged 4000 survivors of the First Battle of Ravus-York and the two armies flanked the historic city, then bombarded it for a day before storming it. The Roman 6500-man garrison held briefly, but collapsed by nightfall. Ravus-York had been retaken at the cost of 2281 English dead/wounded and (approximately) 3900 Romans dead, 1100 wounded, and 1500 prisoners.

However, the Roman use of Ravus-York as a shipyard for Triremes is worrisome to the General Staff.

So the war is going WELL. However, this only confirms my worst fears that the Russians are going to come out of this as the big kahuna around Europe. Thus, we must begin our Italy campaign NOW.

If taking Antium is so much of a concern, we can just bypass it and go take Setia, and then Rome. Then double back and simultaneously assault Antium from RY and Setia. After that, we'll be if not on par then at least not horribly behind the Russians.
