It doesn't have to be a picture you took yourself. I'll start.

2. Sorry Tues, palaces suck.
Versailles was the downfall of Marie Antoinette, actually a good thing, and the revolution keeps France in a positive state to this day. Ludwig had a few castles and was insane, and not in a good, creative way.

In the route of proving my point, I decided to google Ludwig and not surprisingly, he was a fan of Wagner. But when I saw how much Wagner resembled William F. Buckley, I got distracted.

I would post pictures, but have read about hotlinking on this forum, and I don’t have a bucket account.

Anyway, palaces are in disgrace, even though this was a copycat, palaces suck really hard, so, there you go.

6. well....
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 10:19 AM by Tuesday Afternoon
I am intrigued by all buildings/structures...from the backyard shed to cathedrals. From living in caves to being buried in Pyramids. I find it all rather fascinating. But, that's just me. I guess.

Going from the way this copy cat is sinking like a stone...it is JUST me :D

9. sure. why not.
Evidently palaces are not PC so this copycat should go the way of all supremely bad copycats and sink like a stone, quietly into oblivion.:yoiks:

Of course, if you want...you could, in turn post a picture of another palace and then pass your crown on to the next player.:D

Although, IIRC seems like there are some Empererors and Empresses running around here who may take offense.:hide:
