If you're going to judge people by the atrocities committed by many of our namesakes then a lot wouldn't be allowed.....

How many people did legionaries kill and enslave? How many Muslims did Knights of the Temple kill? Many of the most popular names on an online war game are of units with a history of bloodshed and violence....

Back off ppl ffs lol, SVaRuN was just trying to shed some historical light on the name... A bit of insight on the matter... You can`t say he totally missed as apparently none of you knew, eh?

This isn`t a request to change their name or a threath to do so or anything of that manner... So please, don`t get your panties in a knot now starting a counteroffensive against the Romans lol... You learned something new and The Janissaries got some public exposure... Every1 is a happy pappy right?

erm...

Janissaries were Turkish troops yes but they were Balkans+ Slovenia Slaves. To explain Turkish army came forcibly took yung none muslim man from their families and make them fight their own families/nations they were even paid to do it

I am sure the one who picked the name knew all of this and sees it ok. But I was wondering does community sees it as ok. I for one dont...I mean the name can be whatever but this one is indirectly insulting to some nationalities and I for once wouldnt proudly wore a TAG with such a name...

Thats what I thought...

i dont know why you are making such big deal about this , i mean britain enslaved black people like many other countries , rome slaved everybody , man , women , children , white , black or brown what ever.

So because they choose a name about a turkish military troop. Which apperantly killed alot of people yatta yatta , but there are other things compelled in that name.

[S T I]

also if you have a problem with that fact Turkey took Slovenia slaves, Rome took slaves from all over the world, including their own people, not to mention they also crucified slaves for not meeting work loads and as a form of punishment for theft and what not.
Its like someone not using the world Emperor because a Japanese Emperor ordered the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

If you want to talk further add me to msn, mailto:fuileadan@hotmail.com

this must have been after he read his book

quote Turkey

"Cos thts why I choose turkey as my username...I have a book on turkeys and everything "

If SVaRuN was making a big deal out of it this would have been moved to The Galactic Colliseum, trust me...

He just brought it up lol... There I`m gonna say it... why did ppl bring up the al-Qaida alliance? they did lol, let it be heh... especially since every1 seems to have moved on allready and you`re just reheating an old soup...

Rome crucified and killed my Lord and Savior. Not only did they kill him, but they spent days humiliating him, tormenting him, and flogged him until there was no skin left on him not bleeding him, exposing raw muscle in the process. They put a crown of thorns on his head, spit in his face, and put soured wine to his face in his dieing moments to make him groan more. Yet I haven't complained about your Roman role play.

I personally have never agreed with attacking someone because of their name. Freedom of Speech.

[Brdavs]

Actually Pilatus wanted to set him free... do as Mel Gibson does and blame the jews...

Can we get a lock here lol? Before ww3 starts...

Janissaries

Elite turkish combat units. One of the first to use gunpoweder in battle. had a really early form of gun and walked around in robes that looked really stupid


All my info on them.... Janissaries

[Munchy]

Hmm, I recognized the name from Age of Empire 2 I believe.

[Miha]

And semi on topic... Slovenia stemerolled over Turkey in the European basketball championship last night... payback for all those centuries of living in fear!

Well I think it the alliance name was ment as a non-offensive, so there's no need to be insulted...

I'd say Hen summed the thread up pretty well with that statement...
