Yeah but I read this first...Rereading that I don't see how it can be an argumentative point...but meh

[SwissBarbar]

Yeahyeah, always trouble with the children, eh? ^^

[/Bean\]

Drains on my resources...that's all they are

[mini]

i'd like to point out that you're adoptive son has nothing to do with this issue ;)

[/Bean\]

I agree, its the rank he holds that is the important issue. To be a judge of law, you can't have exceptions

[SwissBarbar]

Norbanus interjected

"Avlvs Aemilivs I never presumed blabla... tata"

I'm Lvcvllvs in the Curia, not Avlvs - he's in Epeiros ;-) please note that ^^

[mini]

I agree, its the rank he holds that is the important issue. To be a judge of law, you can't have exceptions

When i say he has nothing to do with it i mean:

you're adoptive son would love to see you get a triumph :)



but me as a real-life person think that granting of triumphs has to be agreed upon in the senate and voted for as in the real ancient republic. Therefore I chose to roleplay someone else to object to your triumph


That I chose to roleplay another tribune of the plebs is twofold:
1) it's related to what my IC character is ingame, keeping a connection
2) the right office to be objection about these sort of things, tribunes of the plebs were usually pain in the asses ;p



special edit: ETW has arrived for me, huzzah. Now 4 more hours of work! ;p

[mini]

soz for doublepost but

navarro, had any time to read those rule propositions? :)

[/Bean\]

This is going to be a very busy Congressional Session...

[mini]

Should I apologize? ;-)

[/Bean\]

Only if it all goes horribly wrong...like someone dies or something

[everyone]

damn. nothing to do now. Cicero's not taking any stand in the Curia about the triumph thing yet; and since Navarro doesn't want me to end the turn and I'm reinstalling ETW; I guess I'll just write some stories.

[/Bean\]

I had nothing to do...so I skipped school, and decided to completely revamp my room Nearly done now.

[SwissBarbar]

nice stories @ everyone

[/Bean\]

Triremes!!

[Potocello]

nice stories @ everyone

agreed, nice job everyone.

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

We had a ceasefire after we took Taras, which as broken to take Illyria. Me being in Epirus has already been explained. I was in Illyria Hellenike when Pyrrhus walked right past me. The Senate has said nothing about stopping the war against Pyrrhus, nor making me reliquish command of the Second. I attempted to ambush him (in my own territory) but he got past me (he retreated as soon as the battle started) and so my forces pursued him into enemy territory.

I plainly stated that I only used my lightest troops to for pusuit, leaving my heavies protecting the mountain passes, and at this point the Legio III and my new troops were in Epidamnos protecting that; thus I did not leave my territory unprotected seeking glory.
If you think pursuing the enemy King and killing him when he has very little protection is illegal I am seriously worried. What on earth do you find legal?

1) Ok, Ceasefire after Taras - that was what I was remembering, so we are still at war with Epiros, even though the campaign ended. That's fine by me, I just wanted clarification re: the peace treaty I knew we had signed at one point.

2) Just because you left the Roman territory defended would be irrelevant because roman forces left roman territory period. Whether or not you used light troops, heavy troops, one troop, all troops, or girl scout troops wouldn't matter if you had violated the game rules (which has been clarified that you did not because we are still at war).

3) I find any infraction of the game rules illegal, which is why I brought it up. It's the same reasoning behind preventing Mini from spontaneously creating laws because real life Tribunes of the Plebs did it. We have a system, and that system must be followed at all costs or else there is no reason to play the game since we all can just do what we want.

Congratulations on your excellent victory over Roma's long-time enemy!

How come Roman generals got Triumphs for things like capturing a few minor cities on Syracuse or a victory against the Sardinians, but not for conquering Illyria and killing Pyrrhus? Tad unfair don't you think?

I agree that for this occasion you deserve a triumphus. This is a major blow to our enemies, moreso than just conquering Illyria which was not entirely their territory and TCM will support a vote to honor you in the Curia.

[/Bean\]

Cheers. The only reason I was arguing against you in here so much was because I never had an inkling of a thought that we had not stopped fighting the Epirites. I couldnt see how you could possibly have thought I was breaking the rules.

And too be fair, you've had plenty of time to bring it up. I did defeat a large Epirite army straight after the congressional session as well. No harm done and no hard feelings though, eh?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

No, of course no hard feelings. I just wanted clarification on the subject. It's such a profound turn of events that I wanted to make sure we had it right. With all of the cumulative victories that Cotta has, it is time that he's rewarded. TCM will most likely begin showing some deferential respect for this earned glory, though I doubt the two men will always agree on most things.

[/Bean\]

I hope not

[mini]

oh stop posturing, you're just sad you got no cause to preosecute hsi ass :D

atleast tensions keeps the game interesting

if everyone always agreed, this would be like wotb, utterly boring ;p

[/Bean\]

Is that why you don't like it?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Honestly right now is just slow for WotB, thing will pick up eventually. However the restrictions on rebellion do keep political intrigue down in the game, if only satraps can rebel it means the rest of us just have to live with the Basileus, not that I am complaining, I always seem to choose the loyal type anyways, but a rebellion or two would spice things up.

[/Bean\]

Realistic though. If you've just experienced all those rebellions, it would be natural for the king to keep all his subjects under wraps. Patience is the key.

[Mooks]

I have nothing against you killing Pyrros, but a triumph? We conquered illyria and thats it. AND with 3 whole legions. Thats barely anything.

[desert]

So navarro, I can just take the save and make my own RGB then?

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

@ Navarro951:

What say we clear out the inactive players and avatars and their respective SOT posts? We could RP a plague killed them off or something. It will clean up the SOT and library threads somewhat.


@ TCV or anyone who knows: that bit in the curia re: consular legio IV roma being ambushed and your avatar being wounded, was that just RP to cover your computer being out of commission, or do I need to enter that into the Phalerium as an actual loss?



EDIT: Ok, Phalerium updated w/ the new battles (except for the Cons.Leg. IV Rom. - if that was even a real battle), etc. Remember, Commanders, please PM me awards you want to bestow upon your troops (units, not individuals) and a brief description of what happened and why you want it or what you want it to say, etc. As always, commendations for Tribunes or Commanders need to be brought before the Senate to be voted upon.

Additionally, I see that Bean recently updated the Legion Avatar rosters in the Campus Martius, however, I believe there are some new additions. Please send a PM to me so I can update you as a new Tribune in the proper legion in the Phalerium, and please PM Bean so he can update the Campus.

Thank you!

damn. nothing to do now. Cicero's not taking any stand in the Curia about the triumph thing yet; and since Navarro doesn't want me to end the turn and I'm reinstalling ETW; I guess I'll just write some stories.

i just put up the link to include RBGs you can do it now

[Potocello]

TCM check your PMs =)

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Got it - they're in for a world of hurt :-P
