Is it too late to think of somehting and add it to the rules and explanations and what not? Seeing as we're still in the testing stage now is a good time to do it. Do you see my point?

I agree with the "other path", perhaps we could make a "governor's path" instead of a "General's path", and create some new ranks regarding city governorship, perhaps I shall propose this Charter Amendment at the next congressional session as a Dux (which hopefully I might get if I get another clear victory over the Epirotes)

we already have government ranks making new ones like that would be an entirely new proposition to the game. Trust me it works out guys. Prov.Dictators can have their aids its all the same. Also this is Rome there will be PLENTY of action when we go against the Guals guaranteed. And when we get the money there will be a legion for nearly every other general.

In the game you are your character and your character only. You can't be your character + Mars.

I will make my IC entrance tomorrow, I think. It is my opinion though that the typical army should have enough and the right units to allow for the tactic that... err... "Mars" told us to use.

It seems much more correct to have it that way. I also have a slight problem with the whole "dictator" thing. Why not consul and co-consul? I do not know what those dudes did historically (Rome is really not my favourite area), but in Camillan times I think "dictator" would be worse no matter what the consuls actually did. -.-

(I am aware that they could become dictator, but this was if I have understood things correctly only for a limited time, and not something they wanted to be permanent. Perhaps adding a rank of dictator that can be held by X person Y time and giving Z benefits, or just have it as it is but with changed names. That's my opinion, at least.)

Well see, I am not a senator and would rather not speak to the Senate DIRECTLY.
So if it pleases you, I will say that my character was communicating telepathically with the Senate.

**The Celtic Viking** · 12-25-2008, 02:04

You could perhaps let someone else speak for you instead? Perhaps by telling them through PMs/the agora? If not this, then I think you should rethink this as it doesn't seem to work well with how the game is laid up.

Wait, we don't have an equivalence for the Agora here? I know it isn't used much in WotB, but with Desert's RP it might actually make sense. I also think the reason why it isn't used in WotB is because no one started writing there, but now someone will. I hope I didn't just miss it, though.

**desert** · 12-25-2008, 02:13

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Alternatively, I can post here for something I want everyone to see, or PM for a one-on-one discussion.

So this might be the last time a god will ever speak to a Roman; truly, a day for that should be recorded for posterity.

**navarro951** · 12-25-2008, 02:13

ya i will have to think up an equivalent for us. And you know i know its fun to create a persona roleplaying here desert but the idea of this game is that we are all senators/generals of Rome trying to vy for power so it makes sense to stick to the premises.

Ehh, Servivs isn't that crazy about being powerful. He just isn't that kind of guy. Also, he is currently a poor, homeless pleb.

Maybe once he dies, my new character will be a power-hungry politician?
