No. No, you're wrong. As it currently stands, the only person who can cause a lot of damage is your beloved Consul AskThePizzaGuy. We are not out to cause damage, we're out to survive. Look at our points and figure; What if we hadn't hoarded those 10 points in the night? That's right, you'd all be speaking Pizzan by now.

We've been running with a 99 tally for a while. I've been tracking the mistake, hoping the missing point was Populist, but er, it's a Religious point (Post #441 was the mistake).

So here's the fixed tally.

Poor Ibn, his game will never end. :laugh4:

Pretty much not, only a lengthy spell of inactivity from one of the factions will really end that factions chance.

I would guess that if people would use all the abilities they could then the weaker factions will be gone pretty fast. Also, it's quite easy to cause some inactivity.. :evilgrin:

And with that vote, I must yawn and leave the Senate for tonight. (12.30 here in Ireland). See you in the next meeting of the Senate then.

It's funny that they could move into a clear 'lead' by deducting points from their strongest competition rather than having their votes cancelled out by us.

Double double toil and trouble.

This turn is over!

The Senate is open for discussions!
Turn 6

After the last Senate session things seemed to have calmed down. Consul Askthepizzaguy held a triumph after the legions in Iberia destroyed the last free tribes there. This way ATPG SPQR gained the access to much needed gold mines. This really convinced some Populists that the Merchants know how to run the state. -2 to Populist faction

Rumors were spread that senator Double A helped the Iberian tribes with weapons and money. The culprit behind these stories were soon discovered. It seems it was the leader of Civic faction, senator robbiecon.

Senator Double A answered to all those rumors and accusations with a speech in the forum. It was so well written that many of the Civic faction members decided to turn against it and joined the Military faction. -2 to Civic faction

Expensive gifts and a large sum of money from senator Diamondeye to the temple of Jupiter made some Religious faction members to think twice who to support. -2 to Religious faction

In a dark alley behind the tavern three men met. They exchanged some words and one of them gave couple pouches to the other two. -2 to Populist faction

Following the example of military faction senator Diamondeye made a long speech against the Religious faction. This brought some supporters to his faction. -2 to Religious faction

But what came next shook the entire Rome...

After senator Diamondeye had finished his speech and was on his way home some thugs blocked his way. He tried to talk himself out of this situation but the thugs did not want to listen anything. They pulled out their swords and attacked. Diamodeye's bodyguards tried to defend him but the attackers quickly managed to kill them. Knowing what will happen to him Diamondeye concealed his face with his cape. He was stabbed to death by the attackers. However, what the murderers didn't know was that they were identified by some of the people watching from the shadows. The whole Rome soon talked that senator Askthepizzaguy was behind this bloody attack.

It seemed that the city had turned into chaos. Another senator were found dead! Senator robbiecon and his bodyguards were found behind the city walls. It seemed that they never had any chance to defend themselves. Who was behind this attack however remained a mystery.

The Consul Diamondeye was killed. So was the second candidate, robbiecon.
This means there is no Consul for this turn!

The tally:
Military: 23
Civic: 24
Religious: 10
Mercantile: 29
Populist: 14

ATPG - Mercantile
slashandburn - Mercantile

You think we were behind the murder of Robbiecon?
That's gullible. Then again, Merchants have never learned to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Some of us are above such filthy measures and deemed our fellow senators the same. A murderer, in the senate. Who would have thought...?

I see no reason why you would think it was a political provoked murder. many ruffians lives in our streets.. and god forbids.. Immigrants! surely they are the webspinners behind these murders most foul
