I do have to agree here, TCM. The event your planning is due to an increase in resistance that Tiberivs Marcellvs wants Caivs Avrelivs to face. That is not grounds for initiating an event that requires complete enemy involvment, if you get me. Sorry, keep trying

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

- Bugger was directed at Bean, not you since he said "you can't decide that" in his post.
I'm taking that bugger must mean something different in Europe than it does in America. Here it means "an annoying little sh..".




- Ok, Navarro, the rules weren't as clear as they're being re-worded now; but you're the boss and if you now decide that only one event can go at a time, even though it isn't written that way, then that's the way it goes.

The correct way to read the rule in American English, as it is written at this time, is that either Navarro or someone he chooses can make an event not more than once per 10 turns.

That is to say that the only people who can make events are Navarro or whomever he chooses

and

both he and whomever he chooses can make said events only once each per 10 turns.

Therefore

the number of active events per every 10 turns can be "Number of players + 1 for navarro"




- Planning an event to impede a character is just as fair as planning an event to benefit yourselves. This whole event with the Punic War is all an attempt to advance Legios I and II at the expense of Legio III and all the new players. Bean has advanced far beyond all the other players and in talking with them, I know that several players think that the game is getting unbalanced and he needs to be nerfed until more can catch up and even the playing field. We don't take issue with him or anyone else being ahead; but with how far he is ahead.

He's the only character that can create a house, so he alone can start a civil war. And while any victim's of his may defend themselves, they can't initiate the attacks when he's leaving himself all alone fighting enemy kings and vulnerable. There needs to be some serious game reform to re-balance it or else it isn't fun and there's no sense in playing.

I translate it as "as***le" , but since I'm not a native speaker ....

darn I just sleep for 6 hours and go to school for 9 hours and a load of stuff happens again.

I think navarro's CA during the previous congressional session needs to be clarified; I originally interpreted it as "A quaestor my create a house via an edict during a congressional session; without the sponsoring of a praetor"; such as "edict 100.56473: The House of Juggling Mans That Look Like This: shall be created". and so it is created normally like how a house would be if a praetor sponsors it.

advance Legios I and II at the expense of Legio III

actually, the Sicily part was to help whichever legion which does not have any duties; which happen to be Legio III and IV. because when I asked navarro to implement the second phase, Legio II was already preoccupied in Illyria.

Well, if my ranking reforms go through, he'll be less ahead than he is now :)

[Tiberius Claudius Marcellus]

Mini, those are the things that we need. I hope you can get enough Duxi or higher to bring them about as charter ammendments. You'll have me to second each and every one of them.

[everyone]

I suppose right now there is nobody who could propose unlimited number of CA's/edicts.
I think if we propose and implement the rule change thing like LotR, anyone can propose unlimited number of CA's.
and this post is to remind everyone else that we really need a 'rule changing' system.

[mini]

Yes, it would make sense that a proposal like mine, encompassing such a big change to the game mechanic, should be able to be suggested by anyone. Since these kinds of things benefit all participants, it shouldn't be limited by rank or number.


Of course, CA which are only for the benefit of the group which supports it, which do not deal with the game mechanics, these should be limited of course by rank and number.


You can be sure that I will revise my earlier rank reforms once more in the beginning of next week (I got 3 days off so I have the time) and I will further fine tune them.
Then I will present the final design and will request authorization of navarro to propose the mechanic change, as this is his game.

For example we also need a system of quick-votes. There are certain IC things that we should be able to vote upon WITHIN the same turn. Of course this will be about smallish things (like cotta's triumph) only. And Voting will last 48hrs maxium for such issues.

Stuff like this are needed to keep the game dynamic.
The same thing about 'loopholes' in the rules. I think that if someone finds a LEGAL way to bend a rule, he should be let! This is the spirit of the historical roman ways, and creativity should be rewarded! This does NOT mean that rules are to be broken.

I'm just saying that if anyone finds a loophole, and can present his case with perfect legal logic, it should be allowed.


The problem is that the current rules are largely copied from LOTR, and are simply not translated to a roman republic government.

[Mooks]

Not everyone comes in here everyday though, just how long are these sudden voting sessions last?

O ya, and im back from my 1 day boycott of btsh. Next time you make me mad navarro, ill go on a hunger strike. Can your conscience handle that navarro? I didnt think so.
