Why not support in this thread then the opossing generals can use your comments in their arguements. Also if neither replies to the thread, we can use your observations to determine the winner

If you want to support a side go ahead. What I want to avoid is this thread becoming a "Wickipedia" for the contestants. They nominated a guy so I assume they know their subject. Once an argument has been made then you can rip it apart or cheer it on as you see fit.

Think of this thread as the voice of the audience. Once the actors start performing... let the heckaling commence

I've got no idea. Never heard of him. I was hoping plutoboyz could enlighten us.

Well, I know that PB hates Rome, and Rustaham is one of the original names of the General known as Surena, kicker of rear-ends at Carrhae.

Due to unseen circumstances beyond my control Rustaham vs Ramesses II has been delayed until further notice. The new battle is between Kurush v Gaius Marius.
