It's... it's a joke. It's edited. That apparently only 3 other people get. :LOL:
I mean, you joke but Caribdis lurks in this site. He might see that post and go "hmm...you know what, 'Twice in a Lifetime' has a good ring to it."

In which case, I'll be blaming you if it ever becomes legit. DX

But from my own previous experience with coding: longer pauses between updates equals more wasted time. Procrastination sucks.
Don't mean to harp on this like everyone else, but what kind of coding did you do to get an impression like this?
Because in general this is hardly true. Coding is unpredictable, bugs can take a days to solve or 5 minutes just depending on how quick you happen to find the right cause of it.
Now you would have a point if it's something repetitive.
Which can be accurate for coding a vn in renpy. But that also ignores the fact that coding is unlikely to be the big hurdle here. It's a fairly straightforward vn, most of the effort likely goes into writing and rendering (constructing scenes, poses, camera placement).

Are you really debating if the presence of the crossbows is historically accurate in a server, in which the Roman legionnaries wear the same "armour" used by the Spartans in the movie 300?
Well, at least Jerry did complain about their armor...

If only he could have a penny for every time he has die and he will…

Anyway yes, the Romans started to use a kind of weapon very close to our crossbows since the 146 century b.C.; after the annexation of the Ancient Greece. They called it ballista and it was a kind of crossbow powered by torsion springs, while the modern crossbows use the leaf springs.

And in spanish crossbow is "ballesta". Very interesting, thank you!
I hope we'll see more from Jade!

Ah ok, THOSE crossbows. Also known as 'Scorpio'. Ok, that clarifies a lot. I'm not used to them being called crossbows (or at least without the 'giant' adjective)

Wait, crossbows? Rome didn't have access to them!

Rome didn't have access to crossbows? They were familiar with the Greek gastraphete which dates to 6th century BC. They'd adopted them to "hand held" size arcuballista by no later than the 4th AD (admittedly, late empire), while having used seige sized and other smaller variants since at least the first century AD. Given this would be a late Roman server, crossbows would be on point. And using that name gets the idea across to a wider variety of people than the term "arcuballista".

I wasn't aware of that (especially the term 'arcuballista '). Thanks for the explanation.
