[econ21]

This poll is for participants in the Will of the Senate PBM only.

Motions proposed this session:

Motion #6.1: Gaul shall be destroyed, never again to threaten Roman lands.

Motion #6.3: Legio I and Legio III will conquer the settlements of Gergovia and Comata, never to be abandoned again.

Motion #6.5: By the end of his reign, our current Consul must have begun the process of auxiliary integration in all provinces in our empire.

Motion #6.6: A small army along with a spy is to be sent to a 'backroom' Greek city, to establish a future base for a larger expedition later on, and disturb the Greek lines buying the Illyrians time to turn the tide.

Motion #6.7: We will ally ourselves with the Illyrians at any cost, also offering to declare war on their enemy the kingdom of Macedon. Note: Authorises a declaration of war on Macedon.

Motion #6.8: This house instructs the First Consul, after raiding Bourges, to return all Roman troops back to the Republic. The raided Gallic settlements of Gergovia and Comata are to be left as buffers between us and Iberia and Germany. This motion invalidates motions 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4.

Motion #6.9: This house censors the First Consul for giving conquered settlements to the Germans without informing the Senate of his intention. Note: this does not impeach the First Consull.

Motion #6.11: This house proposes that, due to the controversy surrounding the First Consul's decision to give several settlements to the Germanians, it be made constitutional law that the exchange of settlements must be outlined in Senate motions from now on.

Motion #6.12: This house details the movement of our military forces in Gaul:
A - This house proposes that Consular Army 1 sets sail for and captures Palma, a Carthaginian island south of Massilia. (Also preventing Iberian expansion in the Med.)
B-This house Proposes that Legio III build 3 border forts and spreads her troops out between the forts, to block any enemies journying south.
C-This house Proposes Legio I reamains in southern Gaul, ready to attack Narbo should Iberia act aggresivly toward us.

Motion #6.13: The Senate authorises the completion of a Consular fleet for transport and defence purposes.

Motion #6.15: Senate sessions will have 3 days for debate (1 for voting) rather than 2 days for debate (1 for voting). Note this is an out-of-character poll, no influence weighting etc.

[Silver Rusher]

6.15 seems to not have influence weighting, if not why is there (+5) etc. next to peoples' names?

There are now so many votes with influence, I just used "replace all" in Word to assign the weights to names. I did not bother to edit them out for the last vote as it was pretty transparent what the outcome of that vote was.
