I don't believe this cruel world, why are these people so entranced by my continued existence so as to prolong this benign suffering?

Yet. Trying to decide at the minute.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

so if we dont vote we get asked why we havent, but if we do vote and then realize latter we were wrong we get lynched.... from this point on I am not voting until the last few hours of a day... (that's official by the way, so don't call me scummy me if I do it. At a latter date obviously)

Which was your role? Insane Senator Andres?

I'd like to point out that Iskander didn't respond to my vote. I wonder why he is afraid of saying us something important.

You still haven't explained how you managed to survive that night attack. From the write--up, you were not protected by a senator group, yet you still survived. Special ability or another form of protection?

[johnhughthom]

I bet you've got pages of quotes sitting in front of you TC, just waiting for the moment to use them.

Tratorix, I'd like to point out at this:

find an armed man standing

This looks like other's night attack on everyone. Two "armies" get toghether and then they just go. Looks like it was a Praetor/Consul.

From the tone and what happens after the write up, it seems like the "armed man" was a servant of YLC's. In most of the other write-ups it clearly states the person's surprise at being defended by outsiders. This one doesn't. It seems to me like YLC survived it on his own. Seems like a power only a few important people would have...

I'd give you a prize for guessing correctly, but I don't feel like handing out common sense today.

I don't really see anything difficult to understand. YLC is a Consul. Consuls have guards who defend them, as long as they are not sent to guard someone else. Thus, YLC survived a night kill, because his guards protected him from being killed. In the case with GH, there were multiple groups that attacked him- his guards could only defend him from one attack, and he was killed by the other.

That makes sense, guess I should have looked over the attack on GH again before I posted. Unvote: YLC, Vote: Abstain
This is why I don't generally figure into a town victory.

[TheFlax]

YLC, if the ability of a Consul is known, why abstain from including it in your reveal?

I simply do not understand.

The wording and specific details of it's function are not. I have no urge to let other mafioso forge and then create a mock setup to parade around as a fake Consul.

Because M. Calpurnius Bibulus is not consul.

Mind telling us why you are claiming to be such Bibulus?

(Gaius Claudius Marcellus and Publius Cornelius Lentulus Crus are the two consuls...)

Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus (d. 48 BC) was a politician of the late Roman Republic.

Bibulus was the son in law of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticencis. In 59 BC he was elected consul, supported by the optimates, conservative republicans in the Senate and opponents of Julius Caesar's triumvirate. In this, Caesar, also elected consul in 59, had failed in securing the election to the consulship of his ally Lucius Lucceius. Nevertheless, with the combined strength of the triumvirate, Caesar was largely able to circumvent the authority of Bibulus and the optimates.

Bibulus' only major act as consul was to veto Caesar's bill giving land in Campania to Pompey's soldiers, and to then declare that the rest of the days on which the Centuriate Assembly could meet would be religious holidays. Caesar presented his bill at the Assembly anyway, and when Bibulus tried to intervene, the crowd broke his fasces and dumped feces on him. He retired from the Forum, leaving Caesar with complete control over the consulship, although he occasionally issued complaints against Caesar, which led to attacks on his house from Caesar's supporters, the populares. For the rest of the year, the populares joked that the two consuls were really "Julius and Caesar," a pun on the tradition of naming years after the two consuls; the "optimates" returned the joke by referring to the Bibulus' co-consul as the "Queen of Bithynia," an allusion to Caesar's alleged love affair with the king of Bithynia. Bibulus spent the remainder of his term sequestered in his house where he claimed he was watching for omens, an act that purported to technically invalidate all legislation passed that year.

As a senator, in 52 BC, he supported Pompey, who was by then a political enemy of Caesar. Bibulus and Cato Uticencis allowed Pompey to serve as sole consul in 52 BC after the murder of Publius Clodius. In 51 BC he became governor of Syria, but offended the army there by claiming a victory which had been won before he arrived.

In 48 BC he allied with Pompey against Caesar, commanding Pompey's navy in the Adriatic. He captured Caesar's fleet, leaving Caesar stranded in Epirus, although this was a small feat as Caesar went on to defeat Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus. Bibulus died later in 48 BC.

Bibulus was married twice. From the first marriage he had three sons, including the later statesman Lucius Calpurnius Bibulus. His two eldest sons were killed in Egypt by some of the soldiery which Aulus Gabinius had left there after having restored Ptolemy Auletes to the throne. His second wife was Cato's daughter Porcia.
