MY JOEVERSE TRIVIA CONTEST!!!!
Winner gets the custom cover girl head pictured below. Trivia contest ends at 5pm PST tomorrow 5/18/10. Most points for accuracy, but if no one is correct, you can win on funny or interesting. Question: What historic reference does the 13 in my 13th Vipers Foreign Legion refer? Here's the hint: The 13 is in reference to these historic fighting men who remained loyal to their leader. Their leader was one of my Joeverse's historic cobra commanders (real life person in history that my joeverse says was actually secretly cobra commander). Hint #2: twice a year, we honor 2 different cobra commanders (real life people who my joeverse says were actually secretly cobra commanders). One of these 2 cobra commanders was the uncle; the other a nephew. One of these 2 cobra commanders (again, real life historic people that my joeverse claims were secretly cobra commanders) was the real life leader of this group of fighting men to which the 13 in my 13th vipers foreign legion refers to. Hint #3: Most people have no idea that we honor these 2 Cobra Commanders (again, real life historic people that my joeverse claims were secretly cobra commanders) every year. I choose winner from best answer (most complete and accurate or interesting or funny). Trivia contest ends at 5pm PST tomorrow 5/18/10. See here for storylines http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ngel-duke.html Here’s the answer: Hint #1: The 13 refers to fighting men who remained loyal to their leader, one of history’s Cobra Commanders. Answer: The 13 does in fact pay tribute to Legio XIII, or the 13th Legion that served Julius Caesar in Gaul and later the civil war that rocked Rome. They remained loyal to him even after the senate ordered him to return to Rome and face charges. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legio_XIII_Gemina In my Joeverse, the Rebel Angel World Cobra Commander resurrects the 13th Legion under the name 13th Vipers Foreign Legion as a tribute and in hopes of inspiring the same kind of loyalty. The 13th are notoriously loyal, but unfortunately for Cobra Commander, the men of the 13th are loyal to their Captain, Shanna O’Hara. She would later be at the epicenter of the revolution and lead remnants of the 13th against the forces of Cobra. Hint #2: twice a year, we honor 2 different cobra commanders. One of these 2 cobra commanders was the uncle; the other a nephew Hint #3: Most people have no idea that we honor these 2 Cobra Commanders July is named in honor of Julius Caesar, the uncle to Augustus Caesar who August is named after. So twice a year, we honor these 2 ancient Cobra Commanders and most people do not realize it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus AND THE WINNER IS …… drum roll …… Gunzlingr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gunzlingr gets the fully painted custom Cover Girl head. 2nd prizes goes to (yup, there’s a second prize): Rascal – nice effort, creative and interesting. PM me with shipping details and I’ll let you know what the 2nd prize is. For more Pics: Picasa Web Albums - lance858a Last edited by lance858a; 08-03-2010 at 05:35 PM.. |

That riffle is from one of the avatar figures. Its the bald guy. He also came with the vest I used on my rebel angel duke pictured above. Of course the front side of that vest had to be modified, painted and attached to the back half of 25th para vipers vest for proper fit. |
