Council thread

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Council thread for the Vandal Invasion game. Councils are mainly concerned with proposing edicts and amendments, and putting forth candidates for the position of Treasurer. Edicts and amendments may only be proposed while the Council is in session. The opening and closing of sessions will be announced in the thread. Unless stated otherwise in the list of one's rank powers, all edicts and amendments must be seconded by two other Players if they are to be put on the ballot.

Edicts and Amendments must be proposed in the proper manner.

Edict/Amendment A.B: Whatever I want my edict to say.

A would be the number of the session (1 for first and so on) and B would be the number of the edict in that particular session.

Example:
Edict 1.1: All Players must wear a sword while playing the game.

The First Council Session will start soon.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Duva stands..

King, Chiefs,

I am Duva. Many of you know that I will be representing our tribe when we deal with other nations and states.
Now, to the important matters we need to discuss.
I believe that we need to regroup our 6 camps.
First one should include most of our horse archers, heavy cavalry and should be led by our King Visimar.
Second one should include most of our heavy infantry, foot archers and should be led by Gondegusulus.
The last four camps should have equal number of everything that's left.

Also, what route shall we take. I guess going south through the lands of Sarmatians is not very good idea. Huns will probably use the same route and we do not want to face them so soon.

[Lord of Lent]

Maroboduus stands and asks permission to speak...

Kings, chiefs, elders,

My name is Maroboduus. As you may know, I am King Visimar's second son.
I am proud of my father and my tribe and I look forward to play an important role.
If you give me permission to speak like a worthy adult member of our great tribe, I will be able to help you.

When the elders, wise as they are, told me about our mighty tribe's history, I heard what our ancestors did more than 100 years ago.
They fought against the mighty Roman Empire and gained the land we *weeps* have to leave. Although I am eager to give those "Huns" what they deserve, I believe we should travel westwards and make those small tribes believe that we are the mightiest tribe in all Germania!

Maroboduus stops talking for a while. He leaves the tent to calm down. Then he returns to the council.

I am sorry I spoke to you like this. I believe we have to go to the west as soon as possible. We should send a scouting party; containing only the pride of our nation: our mighty cavalry. I suggest we send Duva, great be his name, south into Sarmatian and Gothic lands to talk about an alliance. This does not mean I'm a weakling; I do not hesitate to betray those tribes of inbred fools if they do not listen to our mighty will! We will be great again!

Maroboduus walks out of the tent without saying anything

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Duva stands again...

Young Maroboduus is right about going to the west. However, I'm not sure whether we should send a scouting party, containing our cavalry, there. If the Huns or Sarmatians should attack us we will be very vulnerable without our them.
