jetarr: Indeed, we were totally the pirates of the north. But then we had a king who drank and whored our entire viking loot away :(
vulchor: At least he had fun =) I always play Danes or Swedes when I play games like Crusader Kings or Civ. I know that someone who's obsessed with English culture is called an Anglophile, I guess I'd be a Skandiphile because I'm all about Scandinavian culture. I even get imported Lingonberries, cloudberry, and gooseberry jam to have for breakfast every morning. Nothing beats Lingonberries.
A little too much fun I'd say. But he did construct some very nice buildings and monuments while he was at it, so I guess it's fair. It's interesting that you're a scandiphile... never met one of those before :D
