I don't want an emergancy sessions for the reforms.

I want one to vote for Everyone's proposal concerning changes in rules having a different way of voting (meaning, out of congressional)

That's not what he said, nor is that enough for an emergency session either.

and as the Event Rules permit, I may move Manius Claudius and Legio I to Massilia as soon as they are done retraining. (but I need somebody, such as the CoF who could open the console to help me move_character Manius and Legio I to Massilia once I state so in my SOT, or in any other place)

I can try, but I cannot promise any success. Roman names have me beaten so far.

[everyone]

I think you could for Manius Claudius, I've checked for its possibility, so far he's the only guy named "manius" in the game.
and so far there has been nothing in the FAQ and rules which define a Consul's ability to propose CAs and Edicts; which means taking Manius Claudius' rank as Legatus, he can't propose any CA's yet (unless I quickly fight some battles and win.....)

[mini]

meh :(

All I want, is that those laws will bear my name. Can't be hard to understand now is it :)

[everyone]

and I remember seeing some concern from the previous page about some veteran players afraid of losing their current ranks and reputation. I would refine my comment/suggested improvements on Mini's rank change suggestion on how it would be implemented (if it is) and transit from the current state to the new state.
But I can't now because I'm finishing my homework and am excited to play Empire Total War
oh yes I just bought the game today, a few hours ago just as the shopkeeper has yet to key in its price after placing it on the shelves.

[mini]

hehe I have got it on pre-order on amazon.uk

So it wil ltake a few more days for it to get here in Belgium. Not that I am so excited to play it. Demo was aweful, and the whole gunpowder warfare aint my things.



As to the reforms and their transit, as I already told bean: a few of the higher ranking players atm, will receive corresponding ranks, meaning they will be able to get themselves elected praetor/consul right away.



The reason also why I wanted it in emergancy session is the following:
it will take us atleast another week to reach the next normal session.

Then we need to approve the reforms.

then it will take another 2 weeks to reach a next session where we can hold elections?


In one thing this game is historically correct: the inertion of the senate :)

[everyone]

well, to start by quoting you

I would like to see the brilliant minds who conceived these laws

he has been here, or one of them, I don't know how it started, but you can ask TinCow or one of the previous guys in charge of WotS (and older massive PBM)

the current senate thing meeting is also rather based off WotS, and WotS is "Will of the Senate", which as you can infer from "senate", is a Roman RPG.

and these two weeks can be watiable, and Manius Claudius does not have any IC reason to call an emergency congressional session. (unless by chance, the Carthaginians cross the straits of Messena)

[mini]

my sentence was: I would like to see these brilliant men rewarded.

Meaning that I want to reward players who make up laws.


I dont want to 'see' them :p

[Mooks]

I understand what your saying, but what if someone votes against a law just because of the name? Doesnt want to give the person basically a free advertisement even though its a good law?

[everyone]

that Lex Aemilia Lexnomen Minius thing is rather crative, I suppose it could be used as an alternative to the proper method of proposing edicts. but it should only be minor, and the current system is in place to keep track of the laws proposed during the session. maybe it could be implemented into something like "edict 13.2: Lex Claudia Thingum Everyonium: all senatores must begin their speeches with the phrase 'I am not wearing my socks'"

I understand what your saying, but what if someone votes against a law just because of the name? Doesnt want to give the person basically a free advertisement even though its a good law?

that's sort of the point, take Publius Atilius who did not want to second Manius Claudius' CA's during a congressional session because Manius Claudius was then "heres/promagistrate" and Publius Atilius does not recognise that rank and therefore did not second the CA's.

(OOC: as my examples: Lex + Gens name + somethign that resembles latin containing the point of the law. Ending with your forum name latinized :p PS: not sure if it is Lex Amilia or Lex Aemiliae. Must consult my sources.

and I'm still not sure how to latinise my laws in this format:
Lex Claudia Thingum Everyonium?

edit: I editted my post

[mini]

It would be foolish and childlishc to refuse a good law because of the name, now would it :)

Besides, if you would not note on a law which has my name, that would mean you do not like me.

And if you do not like, then you would not vote for my law, whichever name that law has :)

[The Celtic Viking]

On the point of names and voting for/against because of a name, that's no argument against it. Pvblivs Atilivs have already voted for or against based on who made a proposition, as everyone points out. It's all RP, and there's nothing wrong with that.

and I'm still not sure how to latinise my laws in this format:
Lex Claudia Thingum Everyonium?

What about mine, then?

"Lex Atilia Socializedum Peanutsus The Celtus Vikingus"?

[SwissBarbar]

No you don't need that, since you're devine. You're name says all:

The Celtic Viking

or in Greek

theós keltikoi vikingai

or in Latin

deus gallus vikingus pater noster deflorus virgii vestalis.......

[The Celtic Viking]

You have a point there. I think I'll go with the Latin translation, just because we're playing as Romans here. It's more... historically accurate that way.

[SwissBarbar]

feel free to use it at any time

[/Bean\]

or in Latin

deus gallus vikingus pater noster deflorus virgii vestalis.......

The Celtic Viking our Father who likes Vestal Virgins?

[Mooks]

The Celtic Viking our Father who likes Vestal Virgins?

[mini]

deflorus would be deflowered ;p

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Wow, lots goes on in one day - Welcome Iskander II! Hope you enjoy playing!

Navarro, I know you're busy with family stuff; but your thoughts would weigh heavily in this discussion since it is your game, afterall.

This next congressional session is going to be a doozy!

[/Bean\]

He's not got a computer with him, so I doubt hes even checking. He's got a lot of reading to do when he comes back. I hope he's alright

[mini]

even more I hope his aunt is alright.

[/Bean\]

Well, to be honest we know shes not alright...

[Potocello]

Does anyone know what's up with the Legio III? I guess i should know seeing as i'm in control but i don't really know what it's supposed to be doing

[/Bean\]

Your still in my goddamn city, eating all my food and shizz. Get out! Go to Massilia and fight some Carthies like your supposed to ...ikts uncomfortable having TCM so close to me

[Potocello]

Hahaha Massalia it is! I'll take the save later, stupid SAT prep stuff is really cramping my style.

Afraid of TCM slipping into Cotta's tent with a dagger eh? Any thing's possible...

[/Bean\]

Yes, a dagger...if thats what you wanna call it...we all have different names i guess

[navarro951]

"Deflowering" means taking someone's virginity.

By the way, I completely forgot that I'm supposed to end the turn today, that's why I haven't done it yet. I have to go to bed now too, so I can't do it until tomorrow. I get off early though so I should have it done shortly after noon tomorrow. Sorry guys.

[Iskander 3.1]

For roleplay purposes, does anybody know what legion my character (Sextvs Cornelivs Scapvla) was fighting with, and whom he was fighting against, when he received his promotion?

[Potocello]

Yes, a dagger...if thats what you wanna call it...we all have different names i guess

oh you dog, you
