Yeah, if you want to read a tale of such quality that it has been enshrined and immortalized in our rocking halls, pay a visit to the story of the Battle of Ilipa!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I see you've done a great job on the "Sage's Corner", so good job.

Or any of the nineteen pieces to date from this author, nine from Master Skald Vasta, the awesome one from Mebert or the one from young Edorix. And the thirteen AARs from diverse authors also line the walls in glory.

If you are going to brag and gloat, do it correctly, please.

And what's wrong with their bragging and gloating about their own works themselves?

Mars and Jupiter observe this vow: when I get to your age, Terikel, I'm gonna have one-hundred-and-ninety pieces lining the walls in glory.

$1,000 (or other currency of your choice) you won't.

By the way Terikel, nice work finally integrating the various bardic infrastructures you've designed properly into the site. Very pro.

How about Zimbabwean? (heyhey)

Well, since Mars and Jupiter are probably gone home to wherever they came from after God took over, a vow to them won't be much binding anyways...

And I too find it much better than the stuff we're used to seeing on the site these days.

Noble Guildmaster and honorable guild members.

On this day, the fourth of March of the year 2012, I wish to submit my Seleucid Empire AAR for evaluation. That was probably my favorite campaign so far, and the one in which I developed many of my tactics and style. I hope you will find it worthy of induction!

Welcome to the Guild, Xingjianma.

Sorry about taking so long- I was caught up in all kinds of shit, and nobody reminded me. Its no excuse, but well an explanation.

The Order of the Golden Palette welcomes its newest member.

Cheers!
