What Age of Empires 2 taught us about History


Aztec monks wave their skirts to convince soldiers to join their side

A civilization that starts out with 3 male villagers can still reproduce

Walls break down after a few strikes of a ram, but the stomach of a villager can take a lot more of those

One line of trees will block any unit, no one was brave enough in the Middle Ages to go through a forest

When Huns build a wonder, they make a destroyed one

Chinese don’t get gunpowder units despite being the inventors of gunpowder

Spaniards can make gunpowder units on a horse, but they need a technology to get them off that horse

Knights are excellent at fighting boats

Galleons that can sail the oceans of the world can also navigate in foot deep water

If an old man talks gibberish to you, you betray your friends, family and country and join the enemy side

Helpless villagers who see knights storming into their peaceful town can quickly pull out a few palisades out of their pockets to protect themselves

One single Longbowman can tear down a castle. He just needs to take 5000 arrows out of his magical backpack

Those Frankish Axemen never figured out how to cut down a tree

Fat kings run faster than trained cavalry

If you’re hurt in battle, ask a guy to swing his wand at you and you’re cured within seconds

Trading in the Middle Ages meant: load your cart with gold and give nothing in return

You need wood to build a farm, no seeds and water

You can ram crops and put them on fire

Credit to Cysion, I guess he designed some of the expansions too.

I don't know if other people have the same problem but for the most part when I report somebody they never get slain
even when I repeatedly ask someone to do it nothing happens.

I really hope that this isn't result of staff not caring enough to do it but it needs to be solved nonetheless.

anyone else?

So, a few days(ish) ago, Shadowverse made the jump from Mobile to Steam. It supports 60FPS and 1080p, making it a lot more fun than playing on a tiny screen. Its a pretty fun card game with a Hearthstone feel, but a very unique Evolve mechanic and a lot of anime cards (Which is a negative or a positive, depending on who you are). The game is extremely generous with its packs and gifts. (Every new player gets 35 card packs, one pack = 8 cards. That means you'll end up with 3-12 of the rarest cards, and plenty of others).

If anyone wants to play it with me, that'd be fun. Their Arena Mode is "Take Two", sort of like the Draft, but you're selected with two pairs of cards, and you pick the pair you like the most 15 times to build a deck, and then duke it out with that.

It has a fun story, full voice acting (Sadly, to enable Japanese voices its a bit tougher), and plenty of solo-campaign missions to help you learn the game very easily.

You can even "re-roll" if you're desperate (Using a smartphone, you can get an account, reset it until your 35 packs give you good drops and then link it to your Steam), but I did away with that and preferred to roll with what I got.

So, yeah. Shadowverse thread.

I have noticed a pretty large amount of times when someone would break the rules whenever no *Staff* roles are online...

and it is also a reasoning for a lot of people's member+ apps...

I'm thinking, it would really help if we had maybe a 3/4+ vote on slaying someone for the next round...
of course the ratio is not a "Set-in-Stone" Variable, however, for the sake of mentioning, let's make that a base.

I think it would make the experience on FRG at least a bit closer towards Amazing.

If this matters to you, PLEASE reply with suggestions or feedback on the subject...

<Edit> I mean not users.... but, Members having the ability.... to start a vote slay.... and Users having the ability to vote...

Has multiple secrets, a radio that plays a few cool songs, a traitor trap or two, and a design that I just really like.
pls implement
luv map
gud map

Up until yesterday, I thought nothing had changed. That was, until I got bored and read my old member app.
I changed. I used to be the joke of FRG. People liked seeing me. I had no enemies, everyone was a friend.
I became an asshole, putting my lust for a virtual gun ahead of my friends. I started hating others for not liking what I liked.
I began insulting the people I called friends. I looked out only for myself and my interests.

I started blaming others, twisting my reality so I didn't realize what an ass I was becoming.
The remaining friends I did have avoided talking with me.

All for a stupid piece of data called a UMP, I lied to, backstabbed, and hated others.
My actions have affected the whole community, but these people were affected the most, and I'd like to apologize to them.

Tobias. We could never get along. I started harassing you, aiming at your weak spots, and intentionally tried to make your life hell. It never occurred to me, that if things had been different, we could have been good friends. I'm sorry.

Fancy Typhlosion. He was the last person to try and stick it through with me. I used him, lied to him, and when I got what I wanted, I turned my back to him.

Heisen. We were always acquaintances, but you reached out to me and gave me a gift. Within 5 minutes, I had already traded it away and took 80k out of it. I only gave you 5k.

Finally Brass. We never actually communicated much, and even when we did, I was brown nosing. My actions have affected your community, and I'm sorry.

To show my little way of apologizing, I DELETED 99% of my UMP Collection. They brought nothing but corruption.  The only one I kept was one I was gifted to by Enchant. The very first suffixed UMP.







I'm not departing, I simply need to rethink my ideals and my way of thinking. I'll come back when I have returned to being kind to others.
See you guys later.
