you know, like, a good guy? cool and nice and did good things. like how nero was not a good guy, but the opposite

he rebuilt a destroyed Rome, established public police and firefighters, ended a century of civil wars, established buffer states on the frontiers, expanded the road systems, reformed taxation, and ushered in 200 years of prosperity, gave free money to hundreds of thousands of people, and in general tried to be a model of republican virtue

on the other hand he invented the praetorian guard, was power-hungry, cruel to his opponents (where Caesar was legendary for his mercy) and ruthless in his ambition for unlimited power and subsumed an oligarchical "republic" into a monarchical state

not to be a downer about my colleagues in the world of prehistory but do you know how loving speculative that poo poo is
eh, there's got to be at least something notable to mention

although past 2000 BCE all I could find were the Ur–Amorite wars, which were cool and I'd like to know more about now

Also 20 pages of posts last chat thread:cool:

E: 4 BCE:
The Governor of Syria, Publius Quintilius Varus, assembles three of his four legions, including Legio X Fretensis, and marched down to Jerusalem from Antioch to restore order. He crucifies 2,000 Jewish rebels.

Wow, not much has changed huh?

put migf on ignore and stop posting about them.

they will be probated and banned as nature takes its course, you just have to be patient

Then Ralp said, “The outcry against My Imaginary GF is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

The posters turned away and went toward D&D, but Rodatose remained standing before the Ralp. Then Rodatose approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the good with the bad? What if there are fifty posters that like MIGF? Will you really sweep it away and not spare him for the sake of the fifty posters? Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the good posting with the bad , treating the good and the bad alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the forums do right?”

The Ralp said, “If I find fifty posters that like MIGF, I will spare him for their sake"

Then Rodatose spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the admin, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, what if the number of the posters is five less than fifty? Will you destroy MIGF for lack of five people?”

“If I find forty-five,” he said, “I will not destroy him.”

Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found?”

He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.”

Then he said, “May Ralp not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found?”

He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty.”

Rodatose said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found?”

He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy him.”

Then he said, “May Ralp not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found?”

He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy the worst loving poster on the forums.”
