Enough pessimism!!

Look at it positivly...it shows how much we care about the game, that we argue for how we think it should be, and that we really do want to have fun. Right?

Granted, but that doesn't mean we cant be civilized about it. I mean we do play Romans...hehe

As long as its a lesson learnt. Or is that learned?

[navarro951]

learned I believe.

Actually, might be best not to use the old Roman ways...

Thats a picture of my school dinner hall at lunchtime, where did you get that?

Anyways, back on topic, can I take Ambrakia now, Mr Navarro sir?

EDIT: Agh, why would you log off now?

Hey, I'm a keltophile and mini's a Roman fanboy... who did NOT see us clashing?

By the way, mini, as any zoologist will tell you (and they should know - they've studied me for years), this is classic TCV behaviour of reaching out. Lets put the past in the past and be friends now, eh?

Now, Navarro, I don't think you gave your ruling here...

I will, but Everyone needs to end the turn first. TCV has been on and has had a chance to aruge, but didnt. Iskander classifies as one of TCM's 'lowly Tribunes with no voting rights'...and no one else is on...

I haven't argued as the only "representative" I have in the Curia is a messenger, and he's not of high enough standing to actually argue, nor does he have the permission to speak for Pvblivs. However, in the case of a vote, Pvblivs would send in his decision through a message, so he's still active that way.

Well, theres no point calling a vote 2 turns before the congressional session, it wouldnt be done in time. I have had a large majority of the votes as affirmative though, so its other Senators' faults for not saying anything if they dont want me to do it.

No case for TCM...muhahahaha, Ambrakia falls tonight!...even though it can't cos I havent got any siege equipment...damn

Well, AFAIK there is nothing in the rules that says you can't do that. However, without an edict (or a voting, if that's allowed - which I, by the way, think it should), the senate (which includes the consuls) are not obliged to support you. Meaning, we could refuse to retrain your losses, send reinforcements, or do anything to back you up at all.

Personally I think this is a rather lame disincentive to attacking a settlement without senatorial backing, but meh.

[/Bean\]

But you won't...right?

true, but it is ALSO in the rules that if a legion falls below minimum standing it MUST be retrained, not reinforced though true. The other option would be for "opposers" to ask for Cotta to be stripped of Legio II's command which is insane since he has won victory after victory since I commissioned that legion as dictator.

[/Bean\]

I take it that's a Yay rather than a Nay!

[navarro951]

ill be back in a sec...please allow me to eat this tasty sandwich in peace.

yes tis a nay.

Actually, that rule makes an exception if the Consul of Legions agrees otherwise, so...

Wuh? We weren't friends to start with? :p

Last time I checked, Arverni starts out at war with the SPQR, and we hadn't signed a peace treaty.

From what ive seen in the curia, there is more approval then disapproval. My call is go ahead. From my knowledge, and this of course cannot be said in the curia for realism sake, their are still 2 decent sized armies left in Epeiros. So, taking their capital will GREATLY hurt their economy to support such armies as well as produce more to put against us. Also it will do us good money wise. Were in a time of expansion now, and being recognized as so throughtout the game map, no more American pre-WW2 isolationism, we need to either put our foot down on all enemies or we will show weakness, even if the AI cannot think in that sense.

Meh, i'm used to worse (ruder) discussions than this, so wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me :D
