Nah, I'd go for Cheryl Cole anyday over Keira Knightly

my thoughts exactly

[SwissBarbar]

Aww, no need to be jealous, Bean. It's a known fact Swedish girls are much hotter than British ones, and your... pancakes... will never be enough to make up for that - especially not as we actually do have a pancake day as well - just not on my birthday! Ha!

I second that ^^

[/Bean\]

Quiet you! Or I'll bomb your country's arse back to the Stone Age!! Mwuhahahahaha

[SwissBarbar]

maybe you don't have to. maybe our UBS-bank manages this without foreign help

[mini]

You're implying it has surpassed the stone age in the first place? You must be joking!

[/Bean\]

Haha, very true. It would be satisfying to be able to laugh manicially while flying a bomber squadren over your country though

[SwissBarbar]

Well, the current managers have not. The bank as such used to be great. Our political leaders just are spineless, that's the problem.

Think that's pretty much the case everywhere tbh. Atleast in Belgium it's the same.

Added to the fact we're almost the smallest country of Europe, but got SIX governements..
Completely unmanagable of course. We've been in a political impasse since 2 years, nothing is happening as we don't have a true federal governement atm.
Luckily we have 5 other governements who can manage to keep things rolling at a minimum base.

That sounds liek what we have in BtSH

I'd be lucky too, if the governement in my country would keep things rolling only at a minimum. Unfortunately they roll things at full speed, but in the wrong direction

All I can say is, A: Charlotte Church is Welsh and she has lost of few pounds and Kiera Knightly's ribs have broken out of her skin. Kind of proves all of your points, huh?

[mini]

It's humpin' time!

[/Bean\]

Your like my mates puppy, always humping everythign that moves

[KipDan]

It's a shame that they always get neutured.

[/Bean\]

Agh, we need Navarro back, the congressional sessions long overdue to close...I hope he's ok

[The Celtic Viking]

Why the hell did you turn the sign up thread into the new OOC thread? And that extensively, that quick? You crazy?!

[navarro951]

okay gents im back, as i said id be a bit busy for this week. Um lemme get the event things implemented.

Sounds good to me, let's discipline ourselves to keep the OOC that is non-signup related in this thread.

Man, TCV - you're all over keeping folks in-line in the game and out! If I didn't know better I would think you were a nun.

[navarro951]

so i think we should give a quick discussion to this event.

I think if Legio I is retrained, put under my (or rather Blasio's) command and moved by cheat to Massalia's province then TCV could move Legio IV and him self to Latium where they could finish the rebels, retrain and go to take sicilia do i have this right?

[/Bean\]

Why are you swapping commands?

Wait, never mind, I read this before the Curia

[SwissBarbar]

After having had an english breakfast, I'm ready for this event. Where are the Carthaginians?

[/Bean\]

Haha, did you really? I don't have time in the mornings, shame really.

[SwissBarbar]

Bah, you woman. *lol* Yes, I stoop up at 5:30 in order to have enough time to make some boiled eggs, bacon, swiss bircher muesli, marmelade bread, sausages, Toast with salted butter (I had to salt it myself - I exaggerated it a little bit, but fortunately I had some...), ... fruit juice, milk and water.

I almost vomited, but it was awesome and worth every blocked bloodstream.

[everyone]

oh noes I have just came back from school and I found out that Cicero's new commander is navarro. I hope he doesn't get my avatar killed (again).

I've a question about Consular legions though, which consul owns them/it? I suppose currently only one consul has control of a consular legion because we've only one.

Hey! I'm not a nun (as an atheist, I strongly reject such criminal activities); I'm just a regular divinity who wish to keep some sense to you cackle-heads.

[everyone]

darn it. what a busy day; didn't have time to take the save just now in the afternoon and can't now because I have to wake up in less than 6 hours from now. Fortunately, the next week and the week after that would be spent slacking (mostly), so I won't have another busy day until sometime in May (probably).
and I'll probably be back home on time tomorrow to take the save on the current turn.

[mini]

Meh

I've looked at the rights of a tribune plebis. Should be changed imo.
Tribunes of the plebs were, especially in the later republic (200bc) onwards the lawmakers of the republic. The senate held the purse strings, but the tribunes made the laws. Of course the senate could advise which laws they would like to see, but they did not make the laws. As tribunes of the plebs was an office that granted acces to the senate, AND that it was THE office for any plebeian to make enough name for himself to be remembered at any praetor election, this was a rather important office for plebeians.

Therefore it should become more powerful. More law proposing should be made possible, aswel as more vetoing.
Especially in the last 2 centuries BC, where Tribunes of the plebs were quite powerful when in office (reason why anyone with objectives always bought himself a pair or two tribunes :))

Should therefor become more powerful.
Maybe we should make it a re-electable office for all players below a certain rank (praetor or so), so we can have 2 or 3 lower ranked players to get themselves elected, AND keep eachother in check with the veto. That way factions in the senate can duel it out with their loyal tirbunes when it comes to lawmaking, as it was in real rome :)

May sound stupid that I bring this up now that i am tribune of the plebs, but i haven't taken a look at the FAQ that good before.


Also, any law that is passed, should get a roman name as was the habit back then, containing the last name of the one proposing it (gens part of the name - 2nd part)

[KipDan]

Too be honest this is a game and taking law making powers away from higher ranks would ruin the fun and I can see whilst you guys are keeping to general them this is obviously not supposed to be completely historic.
