Re: The Plague LordPerrin Send a noteboard - 07/04/2010 01:05:35 AM
I would make it not happen.

Rome doesn't resort to tactics which would result in their fall and the dark ages never happen. Europe doesn't go through the intellectual lull it did and religious dogma and irrationality isn't able to take over.

As a result, mankind is much further along today.


Didn't the Plauge happen several hundred years after the fall of Rome? Or am I just being an idiot and not quite getting what your saying?
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Never underestimate the power of the nerd!

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 325 Views
