Actually it's important to the players themselves. The Megas can pretty much do what he wants if the SOT doesn't forbid it. It's in the players own interest to update their SOT regularly.

[Privateerkev]

Election is tied.

This election has shown a.) how important even one vote is, and b.) how important extra influence is.

[Kagemusha]

So how do we proceed with the selection of Megas?

we'll go through it all again. If we tie a second time, Savvas will win since the avatar is older.

Fair enough.

[Privateerkev]

Fair enough.

"age before beauty"

Lets see how it will turn out.

[Ituralde]

Yeah Extra Influence is quite important. While going through the Library I noted that the House of the Komnenodoukai had has much votes as the Order and that was before Motep joined.

Yup, the Caesar has done very well in expanding the influence of his House this last term.

*edit*

It's funny how close it was. Mak would actually have 1 more influence except for the fact that he got pneumonia and one of those lame "superstition" traits. That, and 2 of Mak's voters never showed up. Activity is very important in this game and this election proves it.

All right boys, I'm willing to entertain all fantastic promises in order to gain my vote. As the lone abstainer, go ahead and start beggin'.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry for the double post, but I think this warrants a separate one:

Can the first anti-Patriarch Senator who reads this please post in the thread so I can contact you regarding something (OOC)?

Thanks.

[_Tristan_]

I'll be this anti-patriarch Senator... if you want...

Thanks.

I'm here.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yeah, but is your character truly anti-Patriarch? You did vote against 4.5.

-edit- Nvm, Andres has it.

[_Tristan_]

As you want... But Methodios has 1-piety and doesn't want to see the Patriarch in Alexandria...

Though i'd like to do a story with you about his relocation if I happen to take the town...

[Ibn-Khaldun]

IF Methodios is going to take the town!

If there are multiple Crusaders in the conquering army, they must all agree on who will command the attack and who will receive the city prior to assaulting the city.

This from the Crusade rules.. So once Efstathios lays siege to the city them.. Methodios must ask his approval to attack the city

[woad&fangs]

no, because you will be seiging it seperately. Only me and Tristan have to agree about who will attack and who will get Alexandria because we have formally allied.

[TinCow]

Ah, no. Permission is only required from people in the same stack that is attacking. All other stacks will be moved so that they do not partake in the battle at all. People need only to be in agreement with their allies, not everyone else. It's one of the 'penalties' for allying.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

So if I want to attack the city then TC will remove the other Crusaders and I'll be left alone??

[Ramses II CP]

So who will be playing the part of the Council of whatever to help the Emperor pick the new Patriarch of Constantinople? Perchance some members of the Order?

Or is all that just a rubber stamp for the Emperor's own decision as to who gets the Patriarchy?

[TinCow]

So if I want to attack the city then TC will remove the other Crusaders and I'll be left alone??

Correct. Allies make it easier to take the cities, but require you to split the rewards, some of which cannot easily be split.

[Privateerkev]

Since we didn't define the actual position, like we did with the Dean, I am assuming it will just be a NPC that gets the title. Maybe the Bishop agent we have.

[TinCow]

For the record (since I can't tell whether the Magnaura question was serious or in jest) the basis for a second tie going to the oldest candidate goes all the way back to WOTS. econ21 wrote it that way, figuring that the oldest avatar would die sooner and thus have fewer chances to run for office again, while the younger guy would have more chances to take the role. I'm sure he'd be proud to know that 2.5 years later, his rule finally got used.

[Privateerkev]

I see Smowz finally logged in. I missed winning the election by only 2 hours...

[Ramses II CP]

Oh pretty much everything I've said this session has been in jest, a demonstration of contempt, etc, etc. I'm finally in position to appreciate having an avatar with a disloyalty trait.

I'm sure I read that rule many times and, like everyone else, never figured it'd be used. I would prefer to base it on authority, command stars, heck, even piety or loyalty over age, but obviously that'd have to wait for the next Senate session, and how likely is it to happen again?

[Smowz]

Damn I missed the vote by three hours.... I spent hours wandering the streets of Amsterdam looking for a place to go to check.

I even had this

to help find my way.

Well my 6 week holidays end on wednesday so I guess I will be online and participating at bit more soon!!!

It might happen again in a couple days...

*edit*

love the sign. :D

[Motep]

I will abstain next time, as I dont really know who either person is, or what thier political goals are...

And I dont really know where to look...

[Ferret]

I loved your tie announcement post TC
