Avlvs laughed loud out. "Didn't I warn you, dear fathers of the republic? Before this Senatorial Session took place, I predicted that certain senatores would denounce their political enemies, if they ran out of better arguments. And there you see it! I was right. I should really make an application as an Augur instead of fighting Rome's enemies."

Many senators laughed, Avlvs sat down and shook his head, still laughing. "My god, what a born fool", he thought.

I am willing to change my edict if anyone finds it to Harsh/leniant. however I think it should keep the 3/4 majority vote, as if it is not we could simply vote him out because we hate him, with a 3/4 than it means that he actually had to do something wrong.

"It's not yours, but HIS edict, that is way too harsh" Avlvs said, pointing at Appius Claudius

I prefer a simple majority. I do not believe that enough people here flat out hate him to vote him out without any wrongdoing. Also remember that it would be a majority of weighted votes.

you could be right, so how about this

Edict 6.8: after the Taking of Ambrakia, Caivs Aurelius Cotta will relinquish control of legio II, Avlvs Aemilivs Mamercvs will take over command. Caivs will be given Provincial governence of Ambrakia and Illyria Hellenike to compensate. However Caivs will be restricted to the city of Ambrakia for half a year, and at any time if it comes to light he is misusing his power he can be expulsed by a simple majority senate vote. any attempt to replicate his "patrols" will be met with the loss of his Governance and his house arrest in rome for 1 year.

**Iskander 3.1** · 03-16-2009, 22:19

I agree and second Edict 6.8 as it is now written.

thank you friend. Sextus smiles at his friend from Legio I, a fake smile which didnt reach to his eyes.

Or perhaps all the arguments have been said, and need not repeated? You mistake no arguements for already spoken ones. I for one dont like to hear the same thing over and over again, do you?

"No, that's not a possibility. Because if all arguments would have been said and didn't need to be repeated, why should he make up new nonsense-arguments like he did? He'd better say nothing, instead of using stupid arguments! But well.. he did, using these allegations to underline his opinion.

To answer your question: I also don't like to hear the same thing about "he's your friend, so you support him, though you should know better" - excretions again and again.

Therefore, thank you for trying to be involved in this .... 'conversation' .... and be aware of my respect for having tried to think before speaking."
