This is one for the history books, Johan himself Emu'd during the 200k Celebration :D
 
Why is Patric (who joined in 2001) the first member if Johan joined before him?

Maybe something to ask in the questions thread?

He is the Grand Administrator, there would be no forums without him.
So he was a unseen spirit moving above the waters before Johan decided to join the world Patric had created.
Then later, 2001, did he decide to ascend amongst us mortals.

Ahhhhh.... I feel better now that the ultimate question is asked.
 
And what a stylish way in which to make it ;)

A fortunate coincidence that my 1000th post was a post that had actually some meaningful message in it. Most of my posts are quite meaningless, you know :p.

Quite a surprise, considering your last 19 posts since the historic event. :D

Emu'd is when you post an explanation and you discover when you've posted that someone had posted an better explanation already while you wrote your explanation.

It come from the moderator Emu whom always did it in the HoI2 forums.

Back in the day, I was playing Utopia a lot when Europa Universalis 1 was recommended to me by another Utopian. At the time I was terribly bored with games like Civilization (fun as it were) because I longed for historical accuracy and flavor in a strategy game. So I went to a game store and found EUII, bought it, installed it, and started playing the Great Northern War scenario as Sweden. I played no other game as much as I played EUII for several years after that, and from that day on the vast majority of hours spent on gaming have been spent on Paradox games.
