The Curia
The Dictator himself walks into the senate chamber and seats himself, he is aging, and would like to leave the future of Rome in good hands and with a bright future. Some water is brought to him, he takes a sip, and stands to speak.
"Good senators of Roma...before we start this senate meeting let me remind you of our rules here.
Know that edicts and Amendments can only be proposed while the Congressional Council is in session. However while we are not engaged in a congressional council, all other business may be discussed here. Legislation in congressional councils will start on my word and my word only. The emperor coughs...
Also, know your place in this senate. You may only propose as many edicts or amendments as you are aloud. Know that any legislation that is proposed is to be seconded by two senators before we may vote on it.
All legislations must be formatted properly to be used here. It must be done like so :Edict/Amendment X.Z: Text of Edict/Amendment. (X = Number of the Senate session, Z = Number of the Edict/Amendment within the Senate session.) For example, the third Edict proposed at the second congessional session would look like this: Edict 2.3: All senators will walk into the senatorial chamber whilst doing a hand stand. The numbers of all Edicts and Amendment proposed during an Emergency Session will be the same, but with an E preceding the numbering (i.e. Edict E2.3).
Let us also keep the peace here in this senate chamber. Intellectual debates are welcome, but to threaten harm upon another senator is to spill the blood from your own neck. If you carry a dagger with you, it must be confiscated before you enter this place of business."
