OOC: this is just for the 3 years trial correct?

Well in a sense yes...all our pages will remain in the throne room till we have been given a sub-forum which i hope we will get at the end of those 3 years.

[/Bean\]

Hey, looking good Navarro. Looks like I have missed out by being asleep...catch up time

[navarro951]

@everyone yes tribunus' can vote and second, but not propose. In other news, having problems with getting my damn Recruitable Generals to work so hopefully by tomorrow i can get that going so we can gain new members after this trial here.

[/Bean\]

How's the generals looking, Navarro? Any progress?

And where's Roka, he's missing out

[TinCow]

FYI, this game will get its own subforum if it gets off the ground and advances a couple turns.

may of just had a breakthrough like...right now hahah

[/Bean\]

Ah that is good news.

Now, a suggestion. Since we have so few players atm, might it make more sense to disband the congrssional session today rather than tomorrow. I feel that everything has been said; we've all run out of moves and edicts. What do you reckon?

[navarro951]

ya i was just about to say lol...okay made my final changes im gonna see if the RGB's work now so gimme a sec before i close it, if theres any other things you guys wanna say do it now

[/Bean\]

I'm not allowed

[navarro951]

Okay i am proud to say we got RGBs workn now and I will have two ready for next year so we can play with a few more ppl during this trial here.

[/Bean\]

Get on Navverz. Problem is...we havent had any other people check in here to say they're interested...

[navarro951]

okay guys story and battle report thread is up so make up a good one, and everyone throw ur battle report in the BR room.

[navarro951]

Potocello did you take the save to move or look? if your only looking dont post that ur taking it if your doing moves...well doem! been a lil bit to long

[/Bean\]

Where in the world does everyone live, I need a reply from him

[navarro951]

not sure why wuts up???

[/Bean\]

I just sent him an IC PM, I need him to reply ASAP

[navarro951]

PM it to me i may be able to help or step in

[navarro951]

Wow Blasio cant seem to get his wife to pop out a boy lol

[everyone]

Asina can't get his to pop any out! gah.

edit: Asina's staying in Roma because I'm role-playing the logistical problems of Legio I and communication problem with Cotta's Legio II; but I can't find anywhere to put that IC.

[YouHaveRecieved]

It because there is nothing to do really for anyone that only Everyone and Navarros has taken the saves. People are waiting on the Legions to mobolize and choise of Tribunes for the legions.

[Mjolnir]

Yeah, until/if I got mobilize for Cotta's legion I want to stay in Roma where there's a school. I would guess more people will start taking the save once we start getting more people into and above the Legatus rank.

[Mooks]

Once read that the EB modders actually made Rome that way. Rome was historically a faction that where birth didnt matter as much as the rest of the world back then. Still mattered, but not where in Parthia since you were related to the king you were guaranteed a post somewhere. So Rome gets very very few male babies if any.

[navarro951]

we need to change the rules, so we really have a republic, or the game here is not worthy of rome, if the dictator decides everything on his own. In that case we'd better change that faction

i am aware, and yes changes will be made

Yes, this would be great for several reasons, I write it down for you.

We must turn Rome into a Republic, because this is what it is. Its the senates job to discuss all important matters, not the dictators. Or we have a Roman Kingdom here.


Proposal



CA X.1: The senate shall decide where it is to move an army and whom to attack, because[/B]

- Roma is a Republic, not a Kingdom, so the Senate and not the Dictator has to decide.

- Only when the Legions belong to Commanders (or Houses) we can RP civil wars, otherwise the dictator could just draw all legions back, which would end in a pretty one-sided civil war

- More funny debates about bits and pieces are granted.





CA X.2: Players may not move avatars or armies into the territory of a neutral or allied faction without the permission of the Senate.
Nor may they attack the settlements or armies of neutral or allied factions without a declaration of war from the Senate. [/B]




CA X.3: If a Standard or Imperial Legion falls below the minimum strength level, all military recruitment must be allocated to restoring the Legions to minimum strength before money can be spent on other recruitment, unless the Senate agrees otherwise.




These are the most important ones, but there are more. We should change most "Dictators rights" into "Senates rights". Due to the gameplay, maybe we leave the giving away of Provincial Dictatorships to the Dictator, with the addition, that the senate could veto and vote, if the player is not accepted.


We don't even need sessions for voting, because the senate should vote ALL THE TIME for every matter. That's his job

I agree with everything cept for the senate deciding on recruitment and retraining, CoL does that and nothing will ever get done if everyone is bickering over what to recruit or to retrain for. I trust that whoever is CoL will get the job done to par. And the civil war legions thing will be handled as well. Youll like what ive got in store im sure.

But the idea of not voting in a session will never happen. It would be chaos if we missed a proposed edict or things were passed up. It is good to keep it organized for a proper time.

I think they should get battle points for auto-winning because they are still taking the risk of their avatar dying. Perhaps subtract 1 from the battle points they would have gotten from actually fighting the battle.

they will receive points. its an edict we voted on so it is agreed.

Cheers. Navarro, where do I stick my battle points?

all taken care of man!

hmmm what to do about Carthage? they are getting a little too close for comfort and their alliance with the Epeiros is disconscerting.

this is what the hell ive been trying to propose lol!

I'm going to be honest-- it's all fun and RPing and stuff, but RPing against fat prick that gets on everybody's nerves is not what I joined up for.

cmon Il_Duce easy now, everything in game is strictly for fun. if you have a serous problem with someone lemme know in a PM and we will try to resolve the issue.

[Potocello]

navarro i know i know, but now they're really getting close! hahah

[navarro951]

you know what i really fear and may come as a good thing for some of you with all these proposal ideas as well need an emergency council?

in most of my Romani campaigns, in 264 its either scripted or coincidence, but Carthage seems to attack Messana in that year alot and starts the 1st Punic. Im about to end the turn and it may happen at anytime in this following year. So then it will be to hell with greece and the epirotes, but ALL FREAKIN LEGIONS REPORT SOUTH haha.

I'm game, i think it would be sweet if we had the 1st Punic war, i think it would be a lot of fun

[navarro951]

I know i actually am hoping for it to put all these dumb greece invasion arguments down. At least now well have a reason to attack another faction, not just for money.

[navarro951]

@SwissBarbar your SOT has given me an idea. ill be adding a part to the library showing each battle each legio has been involved in so we can better argue our experience in the Curia.

[SwissBarbar]

Hehe, I'm a SOT freak, you know.

Another idea: I wanted to propose the thing about the Influence and the Curia when I would become Legatus, but feel free to propose it yourself, I'd second it.

Would be like this:

Every Avatar has 1 representative in the Curia. So he can debate, even when he's far away with the Legion. If one has 2 Influence-Points, he can have 2 Senatores in the Curia and one more per Point. So we not only roleplay, that the senate has more than 8 or 9 members *G* but also larger houses.
