Hey Thor,

If I had the time, I'd love to help play test it.  <sigh>

My preference would be to play Romania (Europe's welcome mat).

Lol, well, thats the beauty of a play by email games, you choose when you process your orders. So if you had the time you would have to choose. Since in 1830 there weren't no such critter as Romania.  :D

It would have to be Wallachia (though Ottoman would have more chance of being significant).  I'll think about it and see if I can budget the time to be able to be more than a hit and run player.

Good choice.  :D  If you do decide to help, just let me know and I will set up Wallachia for you.

Sorry if I'm not supposed to post here, but I really enjoyed the Roman fic so far and would like to see more, is there any chance of getting that?

Looking back on your older posts you said you wanted as many comments as possible, so I'll have a go at it.

One nitpick is that you never place a , in front of names at the end of a sentence, but I'm no native speaker so I'm not sure if that's needed.
Other than that I couldn't see anything wrong with this, although I would like more explanation on the various alien factions.

The comma in front of proper names at the end of a sentence isn't required in the American version of English. Not sure how the Brits or other English speakers do it.  :D

As for alien faction information, good request. Give me some time to write the information up and I will post it. Keep the commentary coming. It can only help me make my stories better.

I will gladly help fleshing out any alien factions (Or the stuff surrounding them, like history) you still need ideas for.

The skeleton ideas for the main races are pretty much set. But I will need a whole lot of minor powers.  :D

But as a quick post I am gonna post a teaser for the Graalthak.  :wink:  It will be posted in the BTS! fora.

I suppose I should mention all of my stories are based in the same universe.

Thanks bud. And for a while there it was touch and go. At times I had to use a machine and medicated oxygen to breathe.  Still gotta use it every now and then. :shock: Let me tell you, it ain't fun feeling like a fish out of water and fighting for every breath you take.

YAY! Romans! \o/
There's a few minor spelling errors here and there, and I haven't gotten the faintest idea whether the Latin is correct, but beyond that everything seems good. You might want to keep the 'surprise' phase going a bit longer, though. Both of these groups are meeting other humans, and the Romans are meeting humans they weren't expecting who know their language. While I can understand a soldier would cut to the point and leave the details to the eggheads, the change from 'wtf' to 'smile' seems unreasonably fast.
