hellalt actually created the game, and the name he chose is the reason I joined the game, especially since I sometimes tell my competition to burn in hell on the global tab (but typically only after everyone is super sticky sweet with all the good luck wishes, and it's just as a joke of course, but I digress).
hellalt was actually Turkey, and our conversation to start the game was actually pretty interesting:
(To: You, from Turkey) - Spring, 1901: So, Austria, the dilemma at this point is always the same. Who's going to get Greece?
(To: Turkey, from you) - Spring, 1901: I've always been a fan of Greece, I have relatives in Athens and I'm certain they'd appreciate a visit since it has been a few years since I've seen them...
[I was totally joking, just reacting to the Turk's comment about Greece and throwing out some stupid "argument" for it, little did I know the Turk was hellalt and spoke Greek!]
(To: You, from Turkey) - Spring, 1901: Κι εγώ Έλληνας είμαι
(To: Turkey, from you) - Spring, 1901: uh oh
(To: You, from Turkey) - Spring, 1901: Άρα είσαι ο δεύτερος στο site...
Δεν είχα πετύχει άλλον ως τώρα...
(To: Turkey, from you) - Spring, 1901: all those letters look really cool, wish I could read them...
(To: You, from Turkey) - Spring, 1901: hey man i thought you said you had relatives in Greece, so I assumed you knew Greek :P
(To: Turkey, from you) - Spring, 1901: I was just joking around!!
Anyway, at that point I hadn't figured out I could copy and paste all that into an internet translator, and I thought it would be funny to copy and paste it onto the global tab, and that's when people thought I was hellalt, and apparently they bowed down to my every wish after that, damn, here I thought *I* got that victory so fast, all along it was hellalt!! :-(
