If yes, what would you like to be??
I`ll start.
My first option would be this : I would love to be a byzantine Droungarios and have under my command Katafraktous.
For some reason I believe that Katafraktoi were the deadliest heavy cavalry during the Peak of the Byzantine Empire, their armored horses were highly respected among anatolia and europe aswell.. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataphract
and..
My second option would be this : Knight of the St.Lazarus order, imo they were the only true and chivalrous knights during Crusades, treating lepresy and helping tha poor.. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Saint_Lazarus
Discuss.

In medieval europe, only if i was the 1% elite that ruled the smallfolk.
I would never trade my current life for the life of a medieval peasent.
Maybe in a different place in the same time i would, but not a euro peasent

Be more specific please :)
-
Well some knight/lord having his own castle giving big feasts, inviting other knights lords, attending jousting tournament. Not from any specific country, probably a british knight in the high medieval period.
Or some muslim general or a scholar when the muslims just had Cordoba, no doubt those times were some of the best times for the muslims.
Actually, i want to be some one like him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Battuta)
-
No, thanks, i cannot exist without my smartphone.
-
Hell no. Like if you think gang violence is bad now lol. If you're a royal you gotta be paranoid 24/7. + no proper toilets. And unless you're a sheep to Catholic Christianity you're going down hard. Head chopped off or gonna get hanged.
No porn.
No internet.
No games.
Sophisticated bullshit.
Crappy food.
-
Nope. I would hate to live somewhere without proper anaesthetic and before people understood about germs/sterilising medical equipment
Also being forced into a religious belief, torture as punishments for criminals/heretics, dictatorships, constant wars. Humans can be evil mofo's, i'm glad to live in a more civilised era
Pretty boring answer but there you go
-
No.
-
I would prefer an pre-civilized era, where I would live with my tribe in a peaceful village in line with mother nature. Teaching my children how to fish, hunt and survive - the original meaning of life.
You wouldn't miss any of our modern comforts - you can't miss something you never heard about :P.
-
probably yes
-
Live in an era where the church has a huge amount of power? No thanks.

Then warlike tribe finds you and slaughters everyone.
-
tell that to iraqi
-
Yeah... back then everyone was malnourished, filthy and lived in fear. A lot of people around the world are still living that way today, unfortunately. But I count myself lucky that I haven't had to be one of them, yet.
Also, wasn't the average height like 4'5"? Wasn't Charlemagne considered a giant at 6'? Do I get to keep my current stature or do I turn wee?

Crappy food.
What's the difference to this day? I bet their food was better actually. No MacDolans and SperglerKing around every corner.
-
Only intressed if I'm born as nobility with perfect warrior genes(that makes me enjoy fighting in general), training in the arts of war since childhood and a shit-ton of cash and lands so I can raise my own armies and eat the finest food, drink the finest of beer and fuck the finest ladies, and fight with the best equipment. Living the dream while I'm rumbling round the battlefield, in the finest full plate there is, slaughtering peasants, cracking skulls with my big ol' poleaxe, when I'm not charging them from horseback.
Otherwise no, not intressed.
-
I wouldn't want to be anybody in the middle ages. Even the pope. One word : medicine.

Because..today you get a choice. There's tons of different kinds of meals to choose between. Back then meat for example were for the richer people at the early days of the medieval times.
So no lol. Unless you will go the hipster way. Otherwise, no. Just no. It wasn't.
-
Look at it this way: At least there was no obesity problem back in the day.

You're just mad because you know you would get executed before reaching puberty.

I'm so bored of trolling now lol. Even tho it's the internet. Same old shit day in day out.
But it's the truth. I am right.
And i'm out.
-
Try taking a longer walk outside, very effective in getting your hope in life back.
Altough, the internet is like all humanity at one big fucking place. Most of its porn.

This. Life during those times sucked.
-
Short version: No
Long version: Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
A little cut when preparing food and you have 70% chances to be dead in 3or 4 days ... Hardcore and short life with the medicine of god (= no medicine)
-
you guys are a bunch of bundle of stickss
-
I would like to be an ant,had to be a good life back then for them,no stupid kids smashing them thinking they'll respawn like in games,no cars,no roads,highways,no freaking giant sI love youcrapers.
Only neverending fields of grass and forest just waiting to be explored...from the perspective of an ant of course
-
No, i believe i would be killed right after being born for serious disformities. Or die of plague. Or of hunger. Or get raided by some retard. Or catch syphylis from some wench, if i could afford any.
I am pretty comfortable where i am. Imagine having to go few days with a horse in order to reach some shop. Pfew.
-
Any man from 21th century don't survive more than one week at medieval times. Question of body constitution. At this times only 1children of 10 lives more than 5 years
-

I wouldn't like to live in middle ages, that's why I don't bother inventing time machine to travel there, but play cRPG instead.
I enjoy present reality with it's great variety of possible lifestyles.

Nice subtitles.
Harem, pork, alcohol, public masturbation and hairy oil wrestling.
But I would prefer to live in future where they invent some kind of fist that goes out of monitor and hits you in the nose when you write something stupid on forums.
