Not before us , muhahaha

Anyway, there is no plot. The fact that Legio I went to Gaul has nothing to do with favourites or anything. They were a free legion, closest to the destination, and at the time under the command of TCV. It just so happens he's Consul now and relieved of command by Everyone, who has carried on the plan.

Unless I'm mistaken, weren't the Legio III either meant to go north or go to Sicily? So really that's not our fault that hasn't happened and the Legio III isn't getting any action. I don't see how I can be blamed for anything anyway. How am I profitting?

Let me know of any event ideas you come up with, TCM. I like events.

Dont pretend to be stupid, unless your not pretending and just being stupid; then stop being stupid. Its your fault the whole war with Carthrage started, Illyria was just conquered when you dreamt up the script army near massilia, which made absolutely no sense IC.

Also, a little bit of "thickness" on a girl looks good. Skinny is good too, but really overrated.

ok taking the save and moving the Legio III towards Sicily?? there wasn't an assigned place for the Legio III to go so we'll just go there.

@Swissbarbar i don't think i will be able to do a test game with you online for the tournament. however, if you go on Hamachi i'm sure there will be people willing to play with you.

Mooks, you need to drop this attack. I don't understand what your going on about now. As stated in the rules:

1.5 Events

Whenever they desire, but no more often than once every 10 turns, navarro951, or anyone he choose's may create an in-game Event.
Events are not limited in scope, subject matter, or method of implementation.
All game rules, including * marked rules, can be violated to implement an Event.
The players can prevent the implementation of any single Event through a simple majority of unweighted votes.

I've bolded the bits you may want to take notice of. I wanted an event, Everyone had an idea for one; war with Carthage, a surprise war we didnt want, hence it was an event. He scripted some armies so that hopefully they would attack. This isnt some sort of consipircy against you; your not that special. This continued attack is pointless, boring and starting to get really desperate and personal. Your making the whole forum, the game and players look bad, which effects everybody. For your sake and everyone elses, just take my advice and drop it.

[Potocello]

okay i'm confused. i am looking at the savve now so i can move the Legio III out of Epidamnos yet the units there are not the right units for the Legio. In the edict we voted for the upgrades but i don't see them.. ahhhh

[/Bean\]

The last 4 are the garrison, others have gone back for retraining

[Potocello]

okay, well what of the Triarii? just don't want to move the wrong unts.

EDIT: nevermind i found them. problem solved

[/Bean\]

Whoops! Damn firefox

[/Bean\]

You must have been around for that! Speaking of which, where are my Triarii?

[Potocello]

i may have snagged your Hastiti and Pricipes, the Triarii are on the ships and i plan on taking those too!

[/Bean\]

Waaa...Sir, he stole my soldiers!

Are you done with this save yet, Yankee boy? I want it before bed. Some of us sleep during the night...when the night comes at the right time

[Potocello]

Yankee boy eh? yes i am done with the save, i'm posting it now

[SwissBarbar]

That's ok, I was very busy too. My younger brother has to join the army next week, so we went for some beer today

[navarro951]

ah good for him I will be in boot camp myself this summer

[SwissBarbar]

for him it's 10 months *G*

[navarro951]

ah yea? ill be enlisting next wednesday but i dont go to boot till July.

[SwissBarbar]

you have the choice?

[everyone]

whoa. who said anything about scripted armies? that band of libyan spearmen just appeared next to massilia during Cicero's early term as CoL; and it randomly appeared there (looking at previous saves I concluded that it was randomly moving in southeastern Iberia doing nothing in particular). so I decided an IC reason that was carthage preparing an attack. so you have the event.

and sorry about the confusion over the legion upgrades. here are what which legio II and III are supposed to contain:
Legio III:
-the triarii you found are yours
-the 3 accensi and 1 leves you found in Epidamnos are for the garrison
-1 equites and another infantry unit (I forgot which one but it was a hastati/principes) are in Roma for retraining
-I forgot whether have I disbanded the 1 hastati and accensi I am supposed to because I just woke up and I'm still muddled.
-but the 1 rorarii and 1 leves that is supposed to be there is already there.
-so all units meant to be there are there. just that I might not have disbanded the hastati and accensi yet.
-if you wait another turn, Cicero could arrange for the ships to pick you up and sail you back to Italy. but that depends on your SOT, potocello

Legio II:
-your triarii are on the way
-as provincial gobernor, you can move any units that start their turn in your province provided they are not controlled by another player; so you can control those 4 garrison units mentioned above
-haven't got a chance to retrain your units.
-but I merged your units and disbanded 1 hastati and accensi and replaced them with 1 principes and leves. and as said above, triarii are on their way.

[navarro951]

you have the choice?

well im going guard and have worked very close with my recruiter so they pretty much helped me go on a date that works perfectly

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

ah good for him I will be in boot camp myself this summer

In which branch did you enlist?

[navarro951]

National Guard, that way I can stay in California and help bust dopers on the Mexican border.

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

you have the choice?

Yeah, in America we do not have compulsory service or military conscription. It is one of the many benefits and freedoms we enjoy because we have volunteers who love our Democratic Republic and the ideals for which it stands and are willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect it.

Now, as a former service member myself I can say that I certainly won't agree with many of the decisions made by individuals in the government; but as a whole (with the exception of everything our Lord and Savior the Great Obamanation is doing right now ) I agree with the path that our government leads us. Having given up many freedoms to join the military, I now understand them much more and relish them passionately as a private citizen. I would say that I am even more willing to give my life to protect this country now that I'm out and have a family.

With the way things are going now......who knows how much more the American people are willing to take before they decide to kick the bums out.



EDIT: Thank you for your pending service, Navarro. It is men like you who keep our country strong.

[navarro951]

A very great piece ^^^. I thank you very much and look forward to this serving this country as well as my liberal state . And I feel the SAME way you do about this obamatized bandwagon that threatens our very way of life in some ways. *cough socialism cough*

[Potocello]

It is men like you who keep our country strong.

Army strong...

@everyone: if you could take the Legio III back to Italy with the ships that would be great, i'll put it in my SOT too.

EDIT: SOCAILISM? c'mon guys it's in times like these when we need government to step in and fix the issue. take the financial crisis for example, it was us who messed it up not big government. Obama kicks ass..

ok i'm saying no more on politics, it will mess up this game

[Iskander 3.1]

Kick the bums out?

[Iskander 3.1]

Just remember who got us into this Charlie Foxtrot in the first place...

[Potocello]

Just remember who got us into this Charlie Foxtrot in the first place...

right you are sir

[Iskander 3.1]

You're right Potocello, this doesn't belong here. All we'll end up doing is pissing off each other. I'll cease all further political posts (unless they have to do with the Roman Senate!).

[navarro951]

well in that case damn these togas...BRING IN THE COTTON, fresh wool is itchy!

[/Bean\]

I wish we had compulsory army service...I wonder if TCV's done his yet? They still do that in Scandinavia don't they?

[The Celtic Viking]

Well, technically we (Sweden) do, but in practice we don't. Our army is so small not everyone gets into it, not even if they really want to. They call you up and ask you some questions, like if you want to be in the army, to which I said no because I've never liked taking orders, so I didn't have to do it either. Sometimes that's enough.
