I'm sure some of you have seen Fenguin's new avatar, but for those who haven't here it is:

http://www.warboards.org/image.php?u=3&dateline=1081532609

My question to the intellectuals of Warboards is this: Which admin is which member of the First Roman Triumvirate?

For those unfamiliar, the members of it were Julius Cæsar, Gnæus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey), and Marcus Crassus.
Read this for a brief history of the Triumvirate: http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/F/First-Triumvirate.htm

My next question is, who is which member of the Second Triumvirate?
Members: Augustus (Octavius) Cæsar, Mark Antony, and Marcus Lepidus.
History: http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/S/Second-Triumvirate.htm

I'm still not understanding what you are asking yet. Could you clarify it some?

Oh wait, nevermind. I get it now. Hmm... that's a toughie. I'll have to think about it for a while.

What a weird question! I have no idea.

Oboe, you DO realize that labelling two people Caesar and Pompey would mean that you expect them to fight and kick each other's asses in the future... ;)

ha ha yeah. that's not cool.

Well, we already know the first triumvirate - Edgewize, AJ, Fenguin
That's obvious :)

Second triumvirate - we need to wait, fool. Hopefully, it won't form, since that would mean the end of the first triumvirate :)

I meant which one of them is which member of the Triumvirate.

I.E. I think Edgewise is J. Cæsar, AJ is Pompey, and Fengun is Crassus.

Reasoning: Fenguin dies off fast because he primarily is the GUI man, his PHP/SQL skills are lesser than that od Edge and AJ. And Edge ultimately is the ruling power because he's the supergod Admin that owns the site and stuff.

The Second would be much more difficult. I would tend to put the-senior-mod-formerly-known-as-Tenshi as A. Cæsar, and the rest are a tossup.

Another question would be, who (in the staff) is Marcus Brutus?

Ow, ow, ow! My brain is hurting!

EDIT: You know, I don't think I'll have a chance at this. I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't come up with who is who in the first.

umm I am remembering scenes from The Gladiator (that is a movie). I think I remember a Marcus Brutus but not sure what he did.

Mmm... Brutus maximus. Ol' Brutus is rotting in the 7th level of hell right now, so I label Redcloack Marcus Brutus ^^

To make this analogy complete you'd probably have to base the first triumvirate at the time when BlizzForums was both ORG and Legacy, with the second triumvirate being as above.
