Salvete Romani,
FACTIO ALBATA, your preferred factio, is also still recruiting. We are always on the lookout for good, motivated charioteers. Don't be shy and join us at (http://groups.yahoo.com/factio_albata).
I'll let you in on a little inside secret: the other teams claim they're better. Actually they stink. The only reason why they have beaten us so far is by sheer numbers. And even so, they could not prevent Albata from reaching a few finals in devastating and spectacular ways. So what do you say, citizens? Will you give us a chance? Or will you let the victory pass on to the same old boy cliques that lack both skill and finesse?
ALBATA FOREVER!
Valete bene,
Marcus Octavius Solaris
DF Factionis Albatae

Salvete Quirites,
Just a general but fairly important note: please DO NOT continue to use my hendrik.meuleman@pi.be adress to send me e-mail. The account has become overloaded with spam (I receive about 20 spam mails per day, ranging for commercials for steak knives to offers for lousy products to increase my potency) and I can't send mail with it anymore, only receive.
So, from now on, I hope everyone will be so kind as to use scorpioinvictus@hotmail.com to reach me, because I will be deleting the other account from my list within a matter of days.
Thanks in advance!
Valete bene,
M. Octavius Solaris

Salve Solaris,

LOL!! I *only* recieve sexual spam, which is it always good for a laugh
because they think I am a man. Besides the products to extend my penis and
increase its endurance and vascularity, today I also received an advert for
a cream which guarantess to satisfy my woman instantly.... It was really
funny, especially with the included video of an American porn star
explaining his succes with the product :-)
Vale! and let me know if you see any good deals on steak knives :-)

[Nova-Roma] Musical Dissapointment |

Salvete,
While in Italy, Patricia Cassia and I found a new "Roman music" CD, by Pietro
Pirelli, entitled "Hyman O Hymenaee". The back of the CD had the tag line -
"To repeat the music of ancient Rome would be impossible, why not re-invent
it therefore?" Cuts from the CD were entitled Aut Dormi, Aut Lacta, Aut
Dormi, Pan E Syrinx, etc. We had high hopes that the music would at least be
tolerable, and therefore usable as background music at Roman events, etc.
The CD seemed to have some very good potential elements. They sang in Latin,
had decent voices, and were able to keep a good ancient-sounding percussion
line.
However, in our opinion, the CD was terrible, to the point of being
completely unlistenable. Why? Because the group which made the CD insisted on
adding a huge variety of creepy, unmelodic, and jarring sounds to the music -
making it sound like the track to a particularly bad horror film. Really, the
sounds were depressing, and *creepy*. In the same track the group would play
30 seconds of good Latin signing combined with reasonable ancient - sounding
drum work and flute music... and then they'd play five minutes of garbled
sound little better then white noise.
Many of us have heard the album "Synaulia", which flatly admitted to be
people just testing the sound of ancient instruments, rather than an attemp
to create Roman songs. In comparison with "Hymen O Hymenaee", "Synaulia" was
a beautiful harmonic symphony. This new album was about as attractive as
listening to chickens being run over by a steamroller in slow motion.
Sorry to rant, folks, but I continue to be amazed at people who seem to
believe that the ancient Romans listened to nothing but disjointed sounds
that couldn't be sung, played from memory, or whistled by a person for fun.
It was especially frustrating to know that these musicians had the capability
to do an album that could have been these things, but ended up being overlaid
by weird non-musical sound, much of which was apparantly done on a modern
synthesizer.
Valete,
Marcus Cassius Julianus

Reminds me of a net.friend's response to one of those e-mails:
[ from the spam ]
"Would YOU like a larger penis?"
[ her response ]
Oh, *YESSSS!!!*

I wonder if it would be worth it - since you say that they _do_ have the
capability to do something decent - to contact them, and explain that
there's a group which would be happy to $buy $a $number $of $their $CDs
if they would only do a "normal" rendition. Money does talk, especially
to (usually broke, IME) musicians. :)

That's nothing!
Today I got two posts from the same Spammer, one to
increase my Penis size, and one to increase the size
of my Breasts!
He must think I'm a Transexual. ;o)

Be careful it isn't a double-blind containing a virus disguised as porno spam. Reminds me of my boss laughing to find a "Hot Lesbian Action" spam all over her laptop that "They must have realised I'm a dyke".
