Of course I am implying you're old.  Your persona would be very very old to my persona. :P

We claim video games are destroying our kids brains these days.... Nope, George, it's just the boys down the street with them sticks.

  In point of fact, Germans have been mercenaries for many millenia.  The Romans recruited them and their neighbors before that.  Lets not forget the Landsknechts.  There is a lovely history of Germanic mercenary behaviour.  That being said, don't forget the mercenary creed.
   
  "I am a mercenary, I kill people for money.  You are my friend, I will kill YOU for free."
   
  What is an oath of fealty but a contract to fight for the person who gives you money to maintain yourself?  Certainly its clothed in the aura of respectibility given to ceremony, but still.

  An interesting debate really.  
   
  Although everyone knows I'll try and whack whoever the person in charge tells me to whack.  Its not about the money, its about the violence.  :)

Since you've been playing many more years than I, I do believe you would know the answer better than I.
