Good point. 1 book every 2 weeks should be possible. I'll stay on board. Maybe reading will help me keep my sanity!! (Sorry for all the flipflopping... all the decision making is making my brain a little fuzzy).

Quiz
:P

[[deleted user]]

took the quiz and I am --

You are a Rudiarius. You have won your freedom and have been presented with a wooden sword, yet you choose to remain a gladiator, though sometimes you will become a trainer or referee. The public loves you and you can be counted on to please the crowd.

[Christine]

Took the quiz

You are a Retiarius. You use a trident, dagger, and net to conquer your opponents. You speed and agility make up for you lack of armor, and your skill makes up for your lack of strength. Sometimes you will be pitted against a stronger enemy, but you are good enough to easily take them down. You adapt well to new situations.

[Jo-Jo]

My results :)

You are a Murmillo. You are the typical gladiator type. You use a sword and shield to take down your opponents. Your bravery is high and you like to be in the middle of the action. You enjoy it when the crowd cheers you on and you have much pride. You are strong and skilled.

Thanks so much

[Eni]

You are a Saggitarius. You ride a horse while using a long distance bow and arrows to take down your enemies. You probably like to stay out of the main battle for the most part, and you can be fairly stealthy when you want. Though your strength and bravery may not be high, your accuracy is deadly.

[Hayley]

Signed up!

[Kat]

I'm Saggitarius too!

[Teresa]

You are an Equite. You ride a horse into battle. Once you have thrown your lance into an enemy, you will dismount and fight on the ground with a sword. You have a decent amount of bravery and have a good bond with your horse. You probably enjoy your fighting style.

[Catherine]

I have to go and take this test!!! I tried to do it on Friday night...but then it got late :( I know.....poor excuse!! what type of warrior.....erm....gladiator.....does that make me!?!?! Guess I'll be a humble Hobbit with Tea :)

If there's questions you have please ask so we can try to clarify the rules. This is a new game so the rules can probably be clarified some :)
