"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."--Pericles
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."--Socrates
"Quality is not an act, it is a habit."--Aristotle
"Rage—Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus’ son Achilles,
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses,
hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls,
great fighters’ souls, but made their bodies carrion,
feasts for the dogs and birds,
and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end.
Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed,
Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles."
-Illiad
"There is nothing alive more agonized than man
of all that breathe and crawl across the earth."
-Zeus, Illiad
ONCE WE HAVE AT LEAST 8 PLAYERS, WE WILL COMMENCE THE RP!
Ah what wonders the Ancient Greeks of before have gathered.
We have Socrates and Aristotle!
The Spartans and Athenians!
Children being left in jars or the countryside!
If anything, one thing that is great, is just how we can rp with them.
Now when I say Greek, I also include the City of Troy.
This is set when iron and bronze were both being used, but all city states are just that.
City states.
The participating will be the only contestants but trade can happen among the barbaric.
Agoges may sound fun for your people! Who knows?
Whatever it is, it is up to you, and your people to make your journey happen.
Of course, as the OP I shall play the Athinaioi of Athina.
Rules
*No one player can begin with more than one city. You must take it by force.
*No magic for Greeks sake! This isnt fantasy!
*General NS and Forum rules, that means no flamers, godders, ect
*Please do try and connect your lore with other players if you are. Either tele them or some other way and change up the bio.
*No population over 100,000. My population wont even be at 100,000 even though I am Athens!
*A general no more than 6% military size goes into effect. That means if I have a pop of 100,000, then I have 6,000 troops. This rule will wither away after two days of the IC Forum.
*No post lower than 5 sentences. This will be beautifully constructed and I want it to be remembered as such.
