I never saw this. That's weird. Then again, I've seen it say that Guests were posting.

I think we could just put that down as an artefact :) Seriously they don't have posting rights, so I've no idea why it says that.

An "artifact"? :? I'm a military historian, not a computer expert.

Are they completely automated or is a person reviewing what they are doing?

And so it begins...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
