Koinon Hellenon: Athens X Sparta (.org X TWCenter), a participative AAR - Athenai

[jirisys]

I join this Arche Athene party of yours. In order for us to be able to push our agendas of Athenian supremacy, I propose that the Arche Athene party and the Sumballomeno meros ton sophou kai dikaiou (Party of the wise and just) join forces.

Maybe we can decide on that first and what name the party should have later (if objections are made)?

Possibly a joint leadership of the party between Vaginacles and jirisys? To show our love for the honourable and glorious Athenian demokratia. And these are of course just suggestions from one who is not the wisest of our assembly

Leumenes arrived at the assembly, to his dismay after completely failing a test at a new philosophy class for resources and production. Yet he was still uncaring, stating it was an useless subject. Dismayed again, to see that none of the parties he favored (Party of the wise and just and the Arche Athenaia) were falling behind, his party not properly accepted, and the Hellenos party in full strenght. But he entered, yet was intercepted by his friend Arthuoros, with whom he had a conversation about his ideals.
"Good morning my dear friend, it seems you have gone from an extremist Athenian supremacy supporter to an extremist free hellenos supporter. This is will not be taken so lightly, it worked for the Athenian supremacy proposals because there were times of anger and choleric wrath against the spartans, now, to change back so heavily from one side to the opposite, will not have much support. I beg you for the good fortune of Athenai and Hellas, to moderate your proposals, you are very young, these have been tough times in this assembly, but you must learn to calm yourself my friend. Now, let's go inside, shall we?"

Leumenes kept those words in his mind, yet he had too much to think about, his own lack of control could have split the assembly, even the alliance. His words and his delivery were powerful, but he had to learn to only speak powerfully wise proposals. His friend Gaios, brought confusion to his mind for the words he uttered last reunion. A woman of him claimed that his father would not accept her as here bride, so they couldn't see each other, the failed class, the division and failure of his party, and the fate of Athenai and the Koinon were rushing through his mind.

He entered the assembly, spotting his friend Gaios, he then stood up and had an announcement to make: "Dear assemblymen, brothers, from all hellas, Lakonike and Rhodoi, Euobia and Pelopponesos, friends of the Koinon all. I am glad to see that an Athenian has taken the position of Strategos Autokrator, and that the Hegemon will continue in spartan domain for another four years. Yet, Athenai is still under siege, and orders were sent for the Allied army, that they may come with the leadership of Areus, or any other spartan. It seems I have been threatened for death at the Spartan Assembly, so I would like to make an apology, to Areus, for treating him like scum, we have all lost something in this battle, yet it was not their fault, our rivalries prevented us from sending reinforcements, and to send word to the spartans to retreat so they may help them. We thank your sacrifice, for you have put a dent into the makedonian shield. Alas, they have split ours, and we are in time of great need, we must ask for kretan help, or remove makedonian influence in Lesbos. We must prepare military installations in Athenai, and maritime trade in Rhodoi. As times will be tough, we must ask our friends in Euobia and Rhodoi for help, because if Athenai falls, Hellas will eventually fall. We ask the cooperation of the free men of Hellas, Spartan, Korinthian, Euobian, Rhodian, and most importantly, Athenians, to come to our help, that is my first announcement."

I PROPOSE we ask for the Allied army, even if guided by Areus or containing spartan men.
I PROPOSE we go to Kretai to ask for help (and if not, liberate it); or Lesbos to remove the makedonian influence.
I PROPOSE we must build Military installations in Athenai and recruit professional soldiers.
I PROPOSE we must build up our trade and resources in Rhodoi.
I PROPOSE we levy men from Rhodoi and Euobia, and ask the Spartans and Korinthians for soldiers for the army.
I PROPOSE we reinforce the Allied army with our own men.

He waited until the assembly was calm, and went to talk to Vaginacles...
