Oh wait, they probably don't exist.
1000/1. Can't have two American mods, it'd upset the delicate balance.
I reckon we need another UK mod though. We invented the English and American languages!
Which was basically stealing it from mix of other european languages.
Which basically stole it from the Hittites, an Iron Age culture from modern Anatolia, who famously defeated the Egyptians, then disappeared from history, due to a series of civil wars, which lead to their destroying their own capital. It is thought that they must have migrated west due to the strong similarity between them and later European languages, which went onto form Latin, Greek, etc etc.
Well, its not far from Anatolia to Greece, so maybe no migration, but Greek people expansions to the east. Or it is as you said and they assimilated with greek tribes.
The Greek one is an interesting one, as Greek culture was already beginning at this point. However, I believe one of the more modern theories is that both the Hittites and the Greeks had a common origin, which is in Ukraine? I believe. This would explain the similarities, but also the lack of communication between them until after the fall of the Hittites, by which point there was a strong Greek culture. I think it is e Germanic languages which more closely resemble Hitttite, but how is still quite had to answer. |

I promised an update...
Jesleyh 6/4
CountArach 4/1
Tsmoha 4/1
Cio 4/1
Cunego 8/1
Smowz 10/1
Valv 10/1
Shonak 14/1
Sutty 14/1
Bikex 25/1
Selwink 25/1
FroomeDog 25/1
Pellizotti2 25/1
Waghlon 30/1
Jesleyh continues to shorten up at the top, but now it is much closer behind. Tsmoha and Cio move forwards and are joined by CountArach in a tie for second favorite. Cunego slips in behind them and just ahead of a static Smowz, now joined by a shortened Valv. Shonak continues to drop and is joined by Sutty. Bikex, Selwink and FDog enter the fray lower down, along with outside odds on a surprise double-bluff by Pelli! Finally Waghlon also gets a surprise outside shot following some chatter.
Of course there are various people ranging from 30/1 downwards but i can't list every member

My money's on Sutty - he knows what he's doing...

You should have suspended the betting on Jesleyh by now. Still no sign of Dinger creeping up.

He's creeping, but he started so long it doesn't make a difference. And i'll keep taking money on Jesleyh because i don't think it will be him.
@Jesl
I'm in the 30-40 range along with a cluster of members. Certainly not making that break forwards just yet

I'd like to put all my money on myself. While I know it isn't me, I just want to be involved in something for once. Plus, I never could bet well anyway - I stopped betting on the Grand National due to the fact every horse I backed died. |

Well, I'm certainly flattered, but could you elaborate why I would deserve higher odds than Valv or Shonak? That doesn't quite get into my head

I think you'd make a good mod, Cunego. Always polite and everything. Plus, the staff seems to have a weak spot for Germans or central-Europeans for that matter, looking at the current admins

That seems like a valid reason. Hey CrueTrue, do you like orange, too?

Didn't I say it was a valid reason?
No, you're right, it was a silly question to begin with.

I mean we all know CT prefers a fine woman to a fruit
And there are no silly questions with this! Not after i've given odds on a bluff and Waghlon...
