I totally agree. In my view the Romans are too strict and it's like every god, is the god of disciplin and war. The gods personality are too similar to each other - that's why I don't like them. Besides in CJ the rules are like "Only the strongest will survive". I mean, that is Rome and not Sparta.

I always liked Ares. Yeah he was a little dumb in the series, but he also was bloodthirsty, rebellious, arrogant and didn't really care if someone respected him or not. This personality makes him unique. As Mars he's completley different - doesn't want endless battles and is strict. About CHB: I would rather grow up in a place where I can do whatever I want and don't be killed if I break the rules. I could have fun and train casually. Also Capture the Flag sounds better to me than Deathball. The demigods there seem friendlier than in CJ and funnier. I doubt that there is another Travis or Connor Stoll in Camp Jupiter. Anyway I've never liked Rome - the policy, the culture and the fighting style. Well, I admire them for their teamwork, but Greeks can work in a group, too. Ever heard about hoplites? Google them and then you'll now what I mean. Besides the Hellenes were the smartest and less warlike. And do not forget: Rome - dictatorship (after aristocrazy), Greece - democracy.

To those ones who say that CHB is not serious enough and should be more political - it's a camp, not a state. And the demigods seem to be satisfied with it. I think they are exaggerating it in CJ and seem a bit nationalistic - thinking Rome is the best and insulting Greece in every second page.

Sorry for spelling mistakes. I'm still learning the language.
