OOC Thread and Chatroom

^^^Thats a thought, when your a Dux propose the charter haha.

I guarantee Cotta and the other Legion commander are going to be against us in there......they're going to feel all left out when we take the glory and riches of Greece from under their noses!

"Ooooh, I saved Asina; but not really, bow down before my morals!" :-P lol, just kidding baen, I like your RP and our arguing in the Curia

this may be so Mercellus, but at least it will be fun debating against them =)

This argument is going to be fun, although I do wish y'all would have waited for the next council to bring this up.

Also, anything I say in the Curia is RP and so please don't take it personally. :beam:

^^^Hey a supporter who speaks with some sense thank you ahah- jp too my political opponents :laugh4:

But that's how politics works! Sometimes to get what you want you need to sneak it in at the 11th hour with just enough support to make it happen :-P

I don't mind that, it's that we just got through a council and have several unfulfilled edicts. If there were no uncompleted edicts then I wouldn't have a problem with this, but I don't want to have to have an emergency council every two turns. Arguments, debates, and proposals are what three years councils are for. That was my only point.

haha good ol Bush...that *******,*****,***<(*+hja(&)(*)(#^%_+)*!&#*(^%)(@^!!!!

and yes, like I said with so many open edicts were getting ahead of ourselves.

hahah funny to see navarro's arguments getting more heated when Mjolnir jumped in:clown:

nice lively debate so far guys. Mjolnir i hope everyone has this attitude in the Curia, i dont think people should be taking insults there seriously :2thumbsup:

I don't like boys! :O

good insult

Let's keep real life politics even out of the ooc thread, please. I would hate for this game to become less fun because I disagree with you.

Haha he's okay...gotta admit a bonehead sometimes though

this should be interesting to see what happens in the Curia when Baen signs on...

Trust me, I take it very seriosly :no:

I agree with Potocello. I would like to see much more mudslinging.

it's 1:40am right now so im off to bed. i have a lot of work i have to do tomorrow so i may not get around to debating until late. Good luck to you all in the curia.

im surprised no one took the save so far....TCV is a busy guy though. hes gotta get his legion goin

I thought the saves were going at a consant rate. Thats why I put in the curia that we are closer to taking the north then previosly.

And mjolnor, theres so much we can take from your posts in the curia that can be applied to the Bush administration.

argh, once I'm not here and work on my AAR, and that's exactely the time you have the greatest RP-Debate ever !!! - without me :fainting: you will regret this, boaaaah :charge:


(just kidding)

Well since we haven't even begun the siege of Patavium, I thought it was an appropriate point since you brought it up first. :clown:

Could you be more specific about the Bush thing? Apparently I'm missing my own metaphor, lol.

EDIT - @SwissBarbar - feel free to jump in "cousin".

For starters.

you have left much unanswered and continue on only on high unfounded rhetoric and ill-conceived dreams.

"But they have em nukes in Iraq!"

Swissbarber, feel free to chime in anytime.

Ah yes, lol.

This will get really fun when Baen gets here. :beam:

I'll probably be going to bed soon, goodnight all.

Hehe, I do ;-) As always don't feel offended *G*

dammit! I always logon at the wrong times when a debate/argument is about to end in the curia!
it might take me a few minutes (up to an hour because I haven't had my lunch) to catch up with what has been happening and post something

@navarro - Unfortunately I must withdraw from playing Quintus. Sry if this comes in a wrong time! :shame:

My school got cancelled because of the weather. Not sure whats wrong with it, but apparently the school doesnt like it so no school.

Unfortunetly in my adrenline rush when waking up, looking at the clock that I only had 7 minutes to get ready, and throwing on clothes and gulping down coffee before anyone told me no school I got so hyped up that now I cant possibly go back to sleep.

good, Cicero looks forward to debating with Scipio in the Curia, since both of them are the only Senators in the Curia who are not daydreaming. (which means both of us are the only people who might be online and ready to post now:clown:)

Feel free to msg me on AIM. Holybandit267

What does everyone think of my latest proposal to use Italian Allies? A whole legion of them would be pretty cool, and I always thought they were more flashy then the romans in-game, and would make for some nice screenshots.

well there are a few problems; they're more expensive than normal troops, and we don't have the required MICs to recruit them in many cities (I think only Roma can recruit them, and we can't even have access to the whole range of Italic troops).

I think the only possibility of that is for a "Italic provincial legion", where some very influential provincial dictator persuades the CoL to recruit him a provincial army composed of Italic allies, then it could be role-played like the Italics are not satisfied with the senate or something, so they help that provincial dictator seize power.

i continued the discussion in the curia, feel free to join

Ha, a provincial dictator seizing power by using Italic Allies, now that would be sweet. Would be a recreation of the Social Wars.

I always remembered Rome having access to the Samnites, thats really all I was proposing in the senate.

Weren't the samnites the ones, that espeacially often rebelled and took every chance to fight rome aside roman enemies? After the romans finally exterminated them, they surely had access to them, but I think the would revolt again and again if they had the chance

Yes, they were a rebellious bunch. Sulla had many of them killed after they surrendered their arms and equipment (All the while when the senate was in session btw). Read my post in the curia, it deals with the issue.

well i just finished the save....so now i need to hold it to see what were gonna do with legio I.

EDIT - nevermind.

okay so i think things would be better if i officially proposed an edict but since a Congressional Council isn't going on, how could i do this? Would we hold an emergency council where i would then be able to do this?

No, I don't think an emergency session should or will be held for this since this isn't an emergency. You'll have to wait until the next session starts.

okay, thanks for the info =)

Blagh! Thanks Mjolnir, I didn't know that. Ah well, need to find me a new tribune then.

woops Swissbarber, meant to call you Mamercvs not Memercvs:clown:

Has he had to leave the game?

@TCV-Sorry, my bad. I completely forgot to move you...my fault. I'll let you move yourself to Massilia then?

dear Potocello, my name here is SwissBarbar :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

AH no not again:embarassed: barbar as in barbarian right?

Sorry Swiss :laugh4:

Couldnt you just change your name to Swiss Barbarian? :laugh4:

:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: simply funny

haha yah i had a chuckle about the Juno's cunt comment

What can I say? It's a part of my character's traits to disrespect the gods, and I thought that was a good time to let that enter my play here. I'm glad you agree. :grin:

You can change your name in the USER CP as long as its not already taken. I can't change my name back to Bean because it's been taken since I changed it first, so I'l stay as Baen :laugh4:

haha Baen..Bean i see now! Ill be changing mine soon as I think of a better one.

Yeah, my nicknames Bean, but I had a phase where I thought swapping the vowels would look cool...I'm past that now...but I cant change back which is a shame:thumbsdown:

hey Bean where is Legatus Cotta in this whole debate? =)

Many miles to the North. I like to use the fact that influence in the Senate can drop while away on campaign. Roleplay should be used in as many aspects of the game as possible. It just doesnt seem right that Cotta would be fighting in the North and sfind time to have converstaions in the Curia. I'll only really partake with a few letters, or if theres a very important decision to be made where an aide can inform me.

Oh and Tiberius, about the comments like 'in leage with Cotta', stuff like that, I don't take it personallt, but realistly you can't go around using sentences like that, describing me openly as if i'm a criminal. By all means let your character think that, but you would be chucked out for actually saying that in the Curia. Just a tip. :yes:

Hopefully awaiting until we release a official proposal. Dictating exactly what we want to accomplish.

On that note, please read your msgs potocello!

On a completely different note altogether, why does navarro think Sicily will be easier then Greece? Syracuse is a tough city itself. And theres the mammertimes, which has a full garrison and the carthaginians themselves, which may land a stack (never know, they could).

I was thinking you were doing that. I like it. Makes you need to have representatives in Rome to back you up.

Meh, all politicians are hypocrites.

I suppose that cant be argued yes...

All the good ones anyway :2thumbsup:

I like the disputes in the Curia, keep it up :2thumbsup:

Im getting the exact proposal finished. Potocello isnt asnwering his msgs but I dont want to post it without running it through him.

its okay, my job to move'm but i dont need that one right now. No luck with our spy on the gate huh?

I'm going to bed now anyway ^^ Gn8

85% chance but no, no luck. Oh well, wouldnt be able to play it until tomorrow night anyway. I'm gonna head off to bed in a mo as well

okay wow and 85% and a no go??? well goodnight then haha

phew. i think its about time we vote on this damn Greece issue. I want to test my command of the Legio III =)

ya well a council has to be called...this aint exactly an emergency.

then i can't wait until the next coucil is called ;)

ya it will be a heated one.

You bet this will be a huge debate, hehe.


Edit: Uuuh guys, i already know who could have a Civil war against who later on ^^

Surely this isnt a civil war issue? If they had civil wars everytime they fell out over something or argued in the Curia there would be mayhem...earlier then when this happened...:inquisitive:

*G* I said "later on", theres much more argument between it.

damn it! another 12 hours at school and the debate rages on! and Cicero told me he can't make up his mind on what to decide on supporting; though I told him that he recently acquired the "agitator" trait.

Ah, didn't notice this until now. There's no harm done, at least not from my part. Actually, as it turns out it was better for my character as he will now get some battlepoints for himself. So it was actually a good thing for me. :grin:

(And yes, I'll move myself from now on. The reason I gave you the movement control was because you were in charge of the operation, but I'm no longer a part of it.)

12 hours in school? Do you live in china or something?

Also, I dont expect a heated debate. Surely everyone will see the wisdom of my proposed edict?

;)
