Favourite legion : The XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix. GEMINA GEMINA GEMINA!!!

Favorite gladiator type : Secutor

This is what a Secutor looks like

As you can see they look very similar to the famous Murmillo class of gladiator, but the main difference is the type of helmet.

This is what a Murmillo helmet looks like, and even tho it looks incredibly cool, by far the coolest helmet ever, its main drawback is the tall crest, which often gets caught in the Retiarus's, a net and trident using gladiator, large net.

However notice the Secutores helmet, the smooth curve at the top theoretically will make the net of the Retiarus deflect off, making the Secutor great at fighting the Retiarus.

Favourite general : Gaius Iulius Caesar

The best Swiss cheese general of all time

Other great roman generals : Marcus Claudius Marcellus (consul of 222, 215, 214, 210 and 208), Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus (consul of 322, 310, 308, 297 and 295 dictator of 315) , Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus “cuncator” (consul of 233, 228, 215, 214, and 209, dictator of 221 and 217), Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, Titus Manlius Imperosius Torquatus (consul of 347, 344 and 340, dictator of 353, 349 and 320) , Publius Decius Mus (consul of 312, 308, 297 and 295) and Publius Ventidius, Aulus Caecina Severus (consul of 1 BC), Gnaeus Iulius Agricola (consul of 77 AD), Gaius Suetonius Paulinus

GOAT general : Napoleon Bonaparte

Favourite battle : Agincourt

Favourite type of soldier : Revolutionary war red coats. HUZZAH!

Favourite movie : Gladiator (1 of course, the 2nd movie was terrible)

Least favourite movie : The Patriot

ik ik what your thinking "oh its just cause your British", and yes, that is 1 reason why i hate the movie but the main reason is that literally every chance the movie has to something historically accurate, they always mess up!

tbh the best part of the movie was during the battle of Camden scene when the round shot bounced of the ground, which was very accurate, but everything else about that scene was a complete disaster! I mean they couldn't even get the colors right for the Regulars coat facings!!Other things they got wrong with the battle is first of all the setting, in the movie it was a grassy field even tho in real life the battle was in the middle of the woods, then the movie shows both army's advancing at each other, even tho the British troops where the ones charging at the American positions, mean while to add to this it was the Rebels, and not the British, who had artillery that day. Meanwhile the movie shows continental army soldiers running for there lives at the end of the battle, but this is wrong since in the battle it was the rebel militia that was retreating (thus this is why Cornwallis didn't like the militia cause he knew they where terrible soldiers, but this wasn't the only commander who hated militia as George Washington also thought the militia where terrible), meanwhile the continental soldiers held the line until they most of them where killed or captured, meanwhile the continental general De Kalb was also killed while trying to hold of the British attack. Also in the movie it shows Tavington's cavalry charge as being un ordered by Cornwallis, but in real life Cornwallis told Tarleton to charge at the rebels.

Another thing i really hate about that movie is the depiction of the great British war hero, Lt. Col. Banister Tarleton (in the movie he is called Tavington for some reason), they made him, our greatest war hero of the entire war, look like a complete monster, even tho the only thing wrong he did in real life was at the battle of Waxhaws, in which after a bloody battle the victorious troops of Tarleton murdered 113 American soldiers who were surrendering , however there are several problems in blaming Tarleton for this, first of all Tarleton's horse was killed under him, falling on top of Tarleton, making him trapped under his horse, he was only freed after the battle finished, and before that Tarleton claimed he saw no white flag from the Americans, so really none of this was Tarleton's fault. Any claims from the movie that he burned churches with people inside and shot wounded prisoners is absolutely ludicrous.

Banister Tarleton, the British war hero

Then there is the ambush scene at the start of the film... which has got to be the worst ambush i have ever seen in my entire life, and the reason is so many things that if i tell you all of it it will take you hours to read, so instead you can watch this video : This is the Stupidest "Ambush" Attempt Ever Made | "The Patriot" Review, Part 3 (strong language) - YouTube which explains why this is the worst ambush.

Then of course there is the battle of Cowpens scene, now often with historical inaccuracy's people just say "well at least it makes it look cool" however this is one of those rarities in which the historical battle is actually much cooler than the battle in the film, yet again its rather complex so you can watch this video instead : Battle of Yorktown 1781 - American Revolution - History DOCUMENTARY - YouTube anyway there are some other things i will like to point out about the battle of Cowpens that the movie gets wrong, first of all Nathanael Greene did not lead the continental army at the battle! It was actually Daniel Morgan who led the rebels. This is the same with the British, O'Hara and Cornwallis were not even at the battle, instead the army was led by our good friend Banister Tarleton, and also in real life he wasn't killed during the battle, he retreated with the remnants of the Loyalist forces.

Furthermore in the movie there are quite a few things they blame Britain on that is pretty much the rebels fault. First of all there is the idea that the British want to expand into native American territory, even tho one of the reasons for the war in the first place was that in 1773 Britain passed a law in which no colonial expansion would pass the Appalachian mountains, and the American where angry about this since they wanted to expand further into the continent. Then there is the British allowing slaves to join the army in the promise of freedom, the movie makes this look like the slaves are being forced to do this, and try to make it look bad,even tho later on in the movie the Americans did the exact same thing and they said it was good!!!! Further more the Americans didn't keep to there promise, every single slave that joined was sent back to slavery, meanwhile all the slaves that joined the British forces where also sent back to the plantations by the American after they where captured after the siege of Yorktown.Then there is the church burning seen, which of course never happened, actually the only thing similar to this in the war was the Gnadenhutten massacre, in which a rebel militia unit butchered 96 defenseless and unarmored native American men, women and children. These native American's where neutral in the war, mainly made up of Lenape and Mohicans, who had all converted to Moravian Christianity, making them pacifists.

So essentially the movie is claiming things about the British that the continentals are also guilty of.

AAAAHHHHRGGGGG

I am also the top Vote Chess creator in 7 more clubs,

ormer vote chess creator of United Chess Nations, Owned by @Kyu13 (the link is here : The United Chess Nations - Chess Club - Chess.com ) This was the first club i became a vote chess creator, and i believe it was sometime early in 2024, at first i took my role quite seriously, making many vc however for a time however i began to slacken my role, making less and less vc, that was until i began to start really doing a ton of vc after i became coord in cvc and became a creator in chess temple and amazing chess warriors, thats when i remembered "oh yeah im in ucn to!" and so on my own accord i began to make vc in ucn as well, eventually i took it to 2 vc per day. When i started i think ucn was like somewhere between 20th and 15th, now ucn is 10th.

Chess.com vs. ChessKid, Owned by @Caleb341, (the link is here : Chess.com vs. ChessKid - Chess Club - Chess.com ) Now this really is my magnum opus, it all began around the summer time when i became really active in cvc, becoming a popular enough member in the community, then i heard that in September Caleb was asking for new coordinators to make vc for the club, as Caleb was really trying to get to top 4, (i think we where 6th or 7th at the time) and he got many, many submissions, i think he promoted like 10 people that day, and they all began to make tons of vc, however over a few days the staff began to weed out who was a good and who was a bad coordinator, and began to demote several, thats when i heard of the announcement, at first i was rather late, i think 4 days late, i thought my chance had gone to be a staff member however it turned out that i still had a chance and after requesting i was promoted to coord, and this is where it all really began, quickly i made loads of vc, making more then all of the other coords, and soon i became the head vote chess creator, with most days making 15-20 vc and some days i even made 25, in only a few months i created 1500 matches!!!! Now we are 4th, and i believe we also have the most matches out off all the clubs in chess.com, the last few months we had so many matches that Caleb ordered a break from creating matches, so now i make daily matches.

Chess Temple, owned by @M-Y-S-T-I-C, (the link is here 𖤍 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑻𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𖤍 - Chess Club - Chess.com ) This club i became head vote chess creator i think around October time in 2024, this was because the owner had heard about my incredible work at CVC, and so hired me to be the new vote chess creator, then chess temple was really not one of the big clubs in vc, i think it was like 200 or 300 or something like that, however when i came head vote chess creator i began to make 5 matches per day everyday, and now we quickly broke through top 50 and are closing down on top 40.

The Amazing Chess Warriors, Owned by @Cassian_Cashout (the link is here :The Amazing Chess Warriors - Chess Club - Chess.com ) I became a vote chess creator here around the same time i became a creator in chess temple, i think actually a few days after, i believe it was in a similar position on the leader board as chess temple as well, however quickly me and the owner got to work, we kind of did a joint operation in which both of us where making tons of matches, and he was playing in them, in lightning speed the club played thousands of matches, and now is in the top 50. Here i make 2 vc per day.

Chess society, Owned by @GreatestOfAllTmie (the club link is here :Chess Society - Chess Club - Chess.com ) Becoming a vote chess creator here really came out of the blue here, i never was active in the club however suddenly in March i saw an announcement from @LegionChess5 asking for vc creators and i thought "why not", i was quickly hired and now i create 5 matches per day, back then they where 20th but after only a month they are now 17th.

The Premier Chess Club, Owned by @HenryUrbanek (the club link is here : The Premier Chess Club - Chess Club - Chess.com )

and several other clubs.

Now let me prove that i am the greatest Vote Chess maker in chess.com, The UCN is the 10th best at Vote Chess, Chess Society is 15th, Chess Temple is 37th, Amazing chess warriors is 41st, and my club is 28th worldwide!!!!!!!

Meanwhile the CVC, which has more Vote Chess games than any other club on chess.com, is 5th!!

And pretty soon they will be the 4th best!!!!!
