Alex is just frustrated because Havard rejected him. Which is no surprise, who wants an asian with that bad anger management. As for Alucard's defeatism and pessimism, i think that is just a sign of the depression he is in. I always imagine Alucard as a cute animal whos tail got somehow stuck somewhere and not as a rational human being. That makes it easier to help. :D
I don't know how the Euro system works, but in the U.S., you don't get your college acceptance/rejection letters unti late April/early May, unless you do early decision. And don't encourage Alucard by calling him a "cute animal". The last thing we need is him making another thread where he tells people to talk like cats.
Nice try, but I was talking about this thread: http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=15159 It's actually quite hilarious. I recommend that everyone read it. Be sure to read people's responses too.
