Actually, the granting of a triumph was something that was voted upon by the senate.

All I am saying, is that if you want a triumph, you'll need a put up a voting :)
(this is one of the occassions where it would pay off to have a tribunus plebis that is loyal to you under my new rules, as he can push things through without a congressional vote)

My IC reaction is thus accordingly. No congressional sessions is no vote. No vote is no triumph.

Which is why i chose to RP it being said by another tribunus plebis in office, rather than an envoy or whatever from my character, since this latter is loyal to his adoptive father.

[/Bean\]

But that isnt the argument you put forth. Yours was we dont have spoils. I can create some out of thin air if that would help

[mini]

It is now ;-)

[/Bean\]

Yeah but I read this first...Rereading that I don't see how it can be an argumentative point...but meh

[SwissBarbar]

Yeahyeah, always trouble with the children, eh? ^^

[/Bean\]

Drains on my resources...that's all they are

[mini]

i'd like to point out that you're adoptive son has nothing to do with this issue ;)

[everyone]

damn. nothing to do now. Cicero's not taking any stand in the Curia about the triumph thing yet; and since Navarro doesn't want me to end the turn and I'm reinstalling ETW; I guess I'll just write some stories.

[/Bean\]

I had nothing to do...so I skipped school, and decided to completely revamp my room Nearly done now.

[SwissBarbar]

TCM check your PMs =)

[everyone]

darn, I almost forgot that S.C. Scapula (iskander II) and S.C. Sulla (cultured drizzt fan) are supposed to be Legati already; now that they have participated in two battles (actually they already participated in 3, the most recent being the assault on Tolosa)

[mini]

damn


bean, get me into some battles, dont want to be a tribune forever :p

[Iskander 3.1]

No promotion for you, Pleb!
:P

Is there an age minimum to lead a legion? If not there should be, I'll consider proposing one with my new Legatus powers. It'll be something like...Legati under 30 years of age may not lead a legion but the general may order them to command part of an army to mop up after conquering a territory. In times of crisis a dictator may appoint a young Legatus to temporarily command a legion (think Scipio Africanus). I'll work on the wording and introduce this next session.

[SwissBarbar]

Why would you want that?

That sounds more like a charter ammendment to me - CA's last forever until changed
Edicts only last until the next congressional council (save for legion creation, or political/governing appointments - those last until the term specified is up)

2) LAY-OUT : anything that is NOT your characters speech, put it in italics. Anything that is SAID by your character, put it between parenthis and "in bold"
special remarks : when you are storytelling something that your character is thinking, you can use single parenthis (lucius cornelius was walking and thought to himself: '[flower] i need to get laid. Where's are my slaves!' He then walked against a cart unloading amphoras).

actually, the 'bold' part is commonly ignored; I just dump whatever my character says inside inverted commas, and use bold to make it a bold statement. but I find myself using Italics less though.

[mini]

I know, but the bold would be quite nice to distinguish the speech. You can add extra emphasis by underlining or caps.

Just trying to create some posting etiquette, which is badly needed when i glance over the latest posts.

[navarro951]

I WOULD ASK THAT ALL PLAYERS WITH STORIES NOT CURRENTLY ENTERED INTO THE HISTORY THREAD PM THE LINK TO THE SINGLE POST AND THE YEAR AND SEASON IN WHICH THEY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE POSTED. DUE TO THE PREVIOUS WEEK IN WHICH I WAS UNAVAILABLE IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO TELL WHICH STORIES GO WHERE.

THANK YOU, NAVARRO

Mooks who sponsored your house???

4.5 Forming a House/Family

Once you have been granted a Provincial Governorship, and gained the rank of Quaestor, you will want to befriend a standing Praetor and create a family/or house. A house must consist of at least three members including the Quaestor. To form a house, you must be given a Praetors “sponsorship”, announce the name of the house and which region it hails from, and what it stands for. Have your sponsoring Praetor announce the fact that he is sponsoring your House/Family in the senate and then you can get creative. Explain what your House/Family will stand for politically, militarily, and economically.

A house will create huge advantages for the players in it. You will all be able to vote more powerfully during Congressional Sessions and also will be to place your members in better seats of power through your influence. Each house will have its own thread to discuss its own agenda.

[everyone]

Could you tell me the name of my wife? So i can rp it a bit :)

darn. I forgot. I just saw the announcement and the long-ish looking name.

@ mooks: don't worry, the Congressional session is only 2 days away, by then you can probably get potocello to propose (or propose in the name of potocello) that you're forming a new house.
