the wompus Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 [size="4"][IMG]http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/c/cf/NewOPWarFlag.png[/IMG] In the past, I've done DoW's themed to movies, quips, monkeys, rodents with guns and lots of other goofy angles. Although typically Paul711 is the history buff of OP, tonight I'll share a bit of an educational DoW. So - everyone pour a cocktail and put on your best scholarly cap, as class is in session.

Also at Stelios, your comment about seeing way worse is correct, it is mostly directed at RE though and mostly coming from AA's just like OP. I can't quite recall anytime that I or Stelios have ever warred over hurt feelings from a couple OWF posts though.
