      to be fair, Alcibiates (that random Athenian) had a reputation as literally the Hottest guy in the Ancient Greek world. he was also a low-key Supervillain more or less starting all the trouble in this video
      Edit: i should probably say right now that Ancient Greece was also literally the Gayest Culture of the Mediterranean and explain just how Hot and Charismatic Alcibiates was. before the whole syracusan expedition, Alcibiates could convince you, a random Athenian guy, to Bang, then convince you later to let him Cuck you with your wife and pay him for the privilege of letting him cuck you. guy was just that hot and charismatic.

    I find it strange that you did not mention that the same man, who proposed the Sicilian expedition, was the very same one who fled Athens, informed Spartans about it and proposed to help Syracuse against the Athenians.
    This man have also tried to unsuccessfully advise the Athenians not to engage in the final naval battle, arguing that they lacked a steady supply line and harbour for the ships, while the enemy did. His advice fell on deaf ears and the Spartans under Lysander ambushed and destroyed the last Athenian fleet.
    *Alkibiades* disappeared in the annals of history afterwards.

    • @CallMeEzekiel
      @CallMeEzekiel  4 роки тому +42

      We try to follow the rules of Polandball as laid out on r/Polandball as much as possible. So while we're not above deviating from them (we did that quite a lot in these videos by making custom flags for Athens/Sparta/etc.), Carthage only shows up briefly. And using the FYROM/North Macedon isn't too inaccurate, is in-line with the rules, and can be funny to some people.
      I hope this clears things up!

As he said after the war had ended many cities like Thebes, Cornith, Melos and Plateai wanted to demolish Athens as to not be threat again and take revenge for their harsh behaviour. Sparta on the other had (not having witnessed such attrocities) didn't go their way and imposed the terms on the video because the Athenians stopped the first persian invasion at the battle of Marathon.

      Iran was definitely a valid option. But we chose to use the Achaemenid eagle because, whereas Iran calls itself "Iran" to make clear that it's a country for the multiple "Iranian" peoples living within its borders (which includes Persians), the Persian empire was explicitly ruled and dominated only by Persians. So the Iranian flag isn't a great fit for them.

It's partly a reference to North Macadon's LARPing as a successor state to the ancient Macedonians. But it's also because there's a preference for national over sub-divisional flags in Polandball.

    The fact that you put the flag of skopjie as the flag of Macedon shows how your so called historical vids are inaccurate. You make them trying to simplify history yet you make such a horrible mistake as to claim that Macedonians aren't Greeks but slavs? The flag you showed represents people that weren't even a thing when Alexander the great a greek made his empire
