I love how you try to separate yourselves from the community, like you're better than us all.

Newsflash, sunshine. Community is a sum, not a division. But you keep sitting in your ivory tower, smoking your pipe. Be glad that you have deep pockets to pay those doing violence on your behalf.

Caligula would be proud. And oddly, I can see your fate reflected in his. Enjoy your spoils.

2) Caligula went down forever in history as one of the greatest conquerers and leaders to the known world. I consider it an incredible compliment to be compared to such a man who made such an impact in peoples lives. His greatest failure will always be his paranoia preventing a proper lineage.

From Wikipedia:

"There are few surviving sources on Caligula's reign, although he is described as a noble and moderate ruler during the first six months of his rule. After this, the sources focus upon his cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and intense sexual perversity, presenting him as an insane tyrant. While the reliability of these sources has increasingly been called into question, it is known that during his brief reign, Caligula worked to increase the unconstrained personal power of the emperor (as opposed to countervailing powers within the principate). He directed much of his attention to ambitious construction projects and notoriously luxurious dwellings for himself. However, he initiated the construction of two new aqueducts in Rome: the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus. During his reign, the Empire annexed the Kingdom of Mauretania and made it into a province.
In early 41 AD, Caligula became the first Roman emperor to be assassinated, the result of a conspiracy involving officers of the Praetorian Guard, as well as members of the Roman Senate and of the imperial court. The conspirators' attempt to use the opportunity to restore the Roman Republic was thwarted: on the same day the Praetorian Guard declared Caligula's uncle Claudius emperor in his place."

I'm sorry...what was that about being one of the "greatest conquorers and leaders"??? You need to brush up on history Sota

I did make change. I left the corp before it could blue up.

To future riches, and current bitches!

This.


I wish I was rich. :/

Hey, Sota, you may be brilliant at Dust, but you know little of Roman history.

Caligula wasn't a great conqueror (Mauretania, his only conquest, was hardly of any economic or strategic value) or leader.

He was, however, known for his ego and was assassinated by his own army -- and therein may be a lesson for you.

After all, history has a way of repeating itself.

Take care....Leadfoot

There is not going to be a revolution, nor will there be a rebellion. Not any time soon. This blue doughnut has literally JUST formed and everyone is already rubbing their nipples on the monitor in defiance vowing to take down their almighty oppressors. It doesn't work like that. FEC showed that it doesn't work like that, Tso's rebellion showed it doesn't work like that.

Let's bring back some good old espionage perhaps? No amount of rallied troops or crazed Hispanic armies can topple the giant that now reigns. It will require intelligence and patience, not war room threads and mass armies. If that was what ruled in Dust then you'd all bend the knee to ContraBanJoe.

And if you're butt-hurt about them making so much ISK, just remember the only thing ISK is good for in the end is suits. I only have 150,000,000 but compared to people with billions in their wallet I am no more disadvantaged than them. Once you hit a certain point ISK just isn't a factor.

Calm down. Posting on the forums changes nothing.


INB4 "yer but bain ur not relevant either u scrub"

Lol, I love history. Best subject to study. If I wasn't trying to actually make money, it would be my major. But I can say I barely know what Caligua did beyond what i read in a book.

Surprisingly I remembered quiet a bit - but the part of his involvement with religion I hardly remember.

You and me both, brother....except I made the decision to move away from history more than two decades ago...

That...and my twich muscles ain't what they used to be.
