Lord Sovereign

Bugger me. The 6th of this month marked three years of me being on the Sietch. Crikey, a lot's happened since the 6th of February 2020 eh?

2000 posts? Nice work, dude!

Have a 40K fanfic idea that might interest you, so any feedback or references you'd recommend consulting to flesh it out further would be greatly appreciated.

Otherwise, a belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🥳

You know, as fond as we are of casting America as the New Rome role-wise, I’d actually say the US has some strong economic parallels with Carthage. That is, an exceptionally wealthy nation with a mercantile spirit and the finest blue-water navy in history, as well as a love for commerce and entrepreneurship stretching back to its founding days.

In short, imagine if some angry sex between Rome and Carthage bore a child over two-thousand years later, and that’s basically America. The result: Roman grandeur and power projection married to Punic commercialism and maritime success, much to the surprise (and jealousy) of Romans and Carthaginians alike spectating from the afterlife.

Well, considering the occasion, I was wondering how you Brits are taught about the American Revolution?

Probably wasn't nearly the high point for your guys' national story as it is for us Yanks, I imagine. But then, considering how close-knit the Kingdom and the States are nowadays, I'm guessing it's not disparaged as entirely negative, either. (The fact it wasn't nearly as calamitous as the French Revolution probably helps, as well, so there's that.)

Out of curiosity, I don’t suppose you have some “ideas” about what we can expect from the rest of the 21st century?

For one, you strike me as a great deal less cynical than @Skallagrim, despite being more or less agreement that America will be Rome Reborn.

Merry Christmas, gentlemen.

Currently simping for the Empire.

Today is Her Majesty's official birthday. God save the Queen.

On a different subject entirely, have you thought about cross-posting your NGE fic here?

So, to sum up your attitude about the Covid lockdowns; politicians with a working brain will present the vaccine as a vindication of their lockdown strategy, declare victory, and open up to get the economy back to normal. The petty tyrants who use the lockdowns as a means of control (and thus try to keep them going indefinitely) will end up regretting it. Do I understand you correctly?

So, thoughts on Brexit going into effect tonight? (Besides "good", of course.)

Lol, I made my pokemon post before I read yours. So we both made the same joke independently of each other, within the span of a few hours in response to the exact same post. I guess we shared the same high energy at that moment?

Royal Navy then.

Royal Navy now.

What in God's name has my poor Britain become?

Welcome to the Sietch.
