Calm down everybody. I want these flames to stop now.

If you've got something derogatory to say too each other, do it in a PM, don't flood this thread with childish retorts and infantile responses.

Call me an idiot, or blame me for purposely stalling just to create controversy, but do it in a PM or an e-mail like some of you already have.

If you keep it up, I'll PM one of the mods and ask them to lock the thread. If that happens, anybody that wants to keep reading this story can come over to fanfiction.net.

Lets just stop this argument and all be friends. If you guys really feel the need to kick each other in the ass, get on Xbox live and kill each other. At least then only feelings are hurt.

1. On a lighter note, My broadband speed has now been upgraded to 1MB! I can now get Xbox live! ! ! The only problem is that my TV and broadband connection are too far away from each other. I know I could set up a home network but the prospect of all those leads is daunting. Plus I don't know if my mother would agree. Does anyone have any ideas?

2. I was flickin through channels on TV today and a movie was on called "The 300 Spartans".
It was all about the Spartans holding that pass into Greece against the Persians. It was a good movie. It was on BBC 2 so only people in Britain probably saw it. Did you see it, Highland Brute?

The 300 Spartans is probably a movie about the battle at Thermopylae where 300 Spartans under the leadership of King Leonidas went on a suicide mission against a Persian army of over 50,000 men and held them off for three days.

There were originally more Spartans at the battle but since King Leonidas knew this was a suicide mission he sent all Spartans that didn't have wives at home back so that they could marry and reproduce. This is directly opposite of current military style because men with wives now have the advantage.

Their population was very important to the Spartans, and so was their family lgeacy... that's why if you didn't have a son to carry on your family name you were sent home. There were a few other city-states present at the battle but they didn't chnage the tide of the battle very much.

Well, this has been a brief history lesson by me... I hope you enjoyed it. =)

Oh ya, maybe I should actually explain who the Spartans were.

The Spartans were a group of people from the Greek city-state of Sparta. From a young age (6) all males began war training. Their whole society was based around war. Their schooling consisted of six hours of physical education and four hours of actual learning.

The elderly were encouraged to beat up anyone younger than them on the street to raise their resistance to being tortured. This means if you were 45, and you saw a 14 year old on the street, you had the legal right to beat him to a bloody pulp.

They incorporated anything and everything into war, even the Olympics. For example: javelin throwing. Instead of practicing for length of the throw, they practiced for accuracy. A line was drawn straight infront of the thrower and the closer they threw it to that line the better their score. They used this for spear-throwing practice so they could perfect their skills during battle.

The Spartans were basically like the perfect humans; they were smart and physically fit. To give you an example of how Spartans changed the tides of war... take the Peloponnesian War for example. Corinth and Sparta, 2, count em 2 city-states, fought against and won against Athens and its allies... over 140 other city-states. 2 > 140 ?

Here's a little visual image of a Spartan:
Take some 6'5" guy, make him the fittest man you've ever seen then multiply that by 50... and there you go.

Oh ya, and if any of you are wondering why I seem to know so much about them... we studied them last semester.

ye i saw it it was about the battle of thermoply or somthing like that where 300 spartans held a pass against over 1 million persians and the spartans gave the persians auch a but whuping that they all ran home scared but sadly no acurate casulty figures are available so we don't know the true scale of what happend but i think the spartans are way cool cause they were trained as warriors since they could walk imagine someone doing that in todays army that would be one kick @$$ regiment

and sorry im not here that often i only visit about once every two days unless i get a pm

To all the other writers out there.

I know I've been terribly slow when it comes to reading your guy's stuff. Hopefully sometime on Wednesday I'll get a chance to catch myself up.

As for Chapter 14, I reiterate what I said a few posts ago.

It shall be released on Tuesday.

What time? I cannot say, because I do not know.
