Hoplite: PTS.
Jorvasker: What?
Hoplite: There's romans in front of us.
Everyone else: *dies of laughter*
When you laugh on mic, you make everyone else want to laugh. Except Vitus' laugh sounded like a suffocating beatboxer, so...HeinzBeans said:Hey! At least I didn't laugh with my mic on! And, to be fair, I only partially fell out my chair, I was still at stage "lol" rather than stage "rofl", but it was close.

Here's something from Rome II that I found interesting and relevent, from the encyclopedia:kel92vader said:Despite their heavy casualties none of the Whiteshields have shown cowardice in face of the enemy and all obeyed orders as they were given.
After a roman legionary had finished his up to 25 years in the army, he could be asked back to join the Evocati, the ranks of “those who are called”. Usually affiliated to their old commander or re-enlisting at the bequest of a particular consul in times of need, veterans were afforded great respect and honour because of their previous service. As examples to the common soldier, they were often immediately promoted to centurion and given a pay rise. Crucially, veterans were exempt from the mundane and laborious tasks of legionary life such as digging latrines, building roads or making camp. During the civil war all sides called on old soldiers to swell their ranks and provide much needed experience. Pompey persuading a large number of evocati to join him against Julius Caesar by promising them promotion and more money to return. The veteran Praetorians of the Evocati Augusti were held in especially high regard.
