The Other Mystery of Easter Island Posted: 2 years ago by Phildo
Should anyone find a workable translation for Rongorongo, the knowledge stored on the remaining tablets might explain the mysterious statues of Easter Island, the sudden appearance of the written language, and the island's history and customs as whole.
It doesn't take much to destroy a culture!

New Rome Is Falling Into Disrepair Posted: 3 months ago by 2manyusernames
A few years ago, a number of brave intelligent men and women from the land of JaxWorth set out for the shores of Nova Roma. This was the New World discovered in the 15th century by Roman sailors traveling across the Pacific in search of a route to trade with India.
Basically it was a shared-world created by Donteatpoop, Icepigs, and others. They imagined a world where Rome never fell and went on to discover the continents on the other side of the globe. Little has been heard from the colony for 2 years. Mayhaps there is yet hope to determine their fate?
