Col William Aldridge Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 if u love world at war, how is it that u hated war? and if u hated war why is it that u declare war? Please use capitalization and spell out your words, "u" is just particularly lazy. Second, wtf is this supposed to mean? Worlds at War is another game ran by Heidi, war in real life is !@#$ing horrible, I like to stay out of war and conflict but if someone attacks myself or a member of the wonderful ALC, we'll bring the hammer down. I will declare war to defend the ALC. You don't understand the whole fight for peace thing, huh? It's ok, someone who uses "u" probably wouldn't. Back at ya lil man! 2 "I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders."-Col William Aldridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuba Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 When are you going to introduce yourself as Simmons of GPA as well, since he's your multi? It's not how hard you try, it's if you succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col William Aldridge Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I am not a member of any alliance other than the ALC good sir, this is my first nation ever on any nation builder. Also, I used to play minecraft but on a private server. The only person on this game I knew was Liqiud, so I've never even had interaction with anyone here before the ALC. What does the Simmons feller do that makes us so similar?

Col William Aldridge Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry, I forgot this was such a sensitive forum, I apologize. Now, there's a difference between misspelling Lapis and using u's for every use of the word you. Really? Also, I make use of the spell check, I won't lie, and Lapis keeps showing up misspelled even though we both know it is.

saeton Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Interests: History, anthropology, theology, philosophy Generalized, or do you have any favorites in particular? I took Biological Anthropology at University and enjoyed it very much. Theology wise, I'm more into the Eastern/Asian stuff. Haven't gotten into Philosophy much outside of the required readings (Plato, Socrates, etc.), but I have enjoyed Thich Nhat Hanh (although I'm sure if he counts as a philosopher or if he's just a Zen Buddhist Monk who's written a lot of books). (TEst lives on but I'm in BK stronk now and too lazy to change the image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of it! If I don't know it, i want to. lol When it comes to history, I entered the field interested in Egyptology(every kid growing up watching Indiana Jones does ) Which of course led to other parts of history, AS i got older, my family was big into our history, being of some Normo-Scottish descent, so we went to Highland Games all the time and that got me heavily into the actual Dark Ages, Crusades, and High Middle Ages. This eventually put my interests in the Scandza history of the Germanic Heroic Age and Viking Age, in which 'm involved in the SCA and portray a 6th-10th century Dane. As I entered the military, i grew interested in the US History(very crazy!) and as I got older I've started to truly appreciate all of it. Although, I don't have as much knowledge in the histories and cultures of the Far East, as some do here(I have a decent lil bit). On anthropology, I enjoy discussing it and debating on processes, behavior, experimental archaeology(This one is really fun!), religion, etc On theology, all of it, although most of my familiarity is with European, Asian, and historical religions/faiths though. Like above, debate, discussion, and theory as well. I really get into philosophy when it's involved in the above fields. I don't spend too much time here unless we're doing a discussion that is across the board when it comes to topics. OH! And politics! Frikkin' love politics! Hope this helps, and I'm looking forward to the conversations.

Kurdanak Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 What's experimental archaeology, exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col William Aldridge Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Experimental and theoretical archaeology are the practices of theorizing on what could have existed, and carrying out experiments based on them. We know that we have a very small fraction of history and that much is lost, and daily we are learning that our ancestors were some pretty smart dudes. So it's mostly figuring out the kind of problems of the day and age of whatever era, what they had at hand, and what they could have done with it. Everytime that you hear a new thepry of how the pyramid stones were moved, when they attempt to reproduce that , that's the experimental part. I'm guessing it might've sounded like some "taboo" or weird thing, but not really. It's just a fun aspect of normal archaeology.Also, I like going out on the deep end when we're having conversations on theory.
