There is a viscous tumor infecting the heart of Africa. Despite repeated attempts to cleanse it, Carthage as a Republic still burns in the heart of the Mediterranean. And it burns brightly and proud, taking control of all the trade of the general area and growing rich off the fat of it, despite all of the land they have lost from past campaigns and the threat of the tremendous Empire that surrounds them on all sides.
A tumor is only fatal if it is allowed to grow and fester. Like an infected wound, despite its lack of size it can very well prove to be a threat down the road if we allow them to continue to grow uninhibited. And therefore, from this forum, I will now declare total war against Carthage and end every single one of my posts, no matter the context, with the phrase: "Moreover, I am of the opinion that Carthage ought to be destroyed"
Join me my brothers. Carthage cannot be allowed to become a problem to us in the future. Only by banding together can we be rid of them. Should we stay our sword now, everything we know and love are at risk of being lost. Let us wipe them off the face of the planet and attain a more secure, beautiful, and Roman future.
That is all.
