Thing is vikings were not ''wildlings'' that went to battle shirtless. :P They used actual tactics, picking high value targets like churches and some villages preferring to not battle anyone that might kill them (i.e armies) and I have difficulties believing that: [img]http://www.history.com/s3static/video-thumbnails/AETN-History_VMS/865/963/History_Vikings_Shield_Wall_REV_SF_HD_still_624x352.jpg[/img] is derived from the Roman testudo or the Spartan/Greek phalanx. Formations like these were prevalent in most civilizations and their armies even without contact with Romans (see the Chinese/Koreans defending against the Japanese pirates using long spears). Either way, disregard this, this is just irrelevant if we cannot start the RP right? So.. should I wait or get that OOC up? OOC might get us some extra attention. Oh, and I think it's obvious we're playing AFTER the Roman era.
