The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

[Death the destroyer of worlds]

Hi Wishazu,
It's quite simple really. One player plays the game for 5 years (with the mods thats 20 turns as the year is divided in 4 seasons). He is the 'first consul'. Every 20 turns we elect a new one. A debate will be started on the 'in character' thread and people can give themselves up as a candidate. After several days of debate we start a new 'election' thread were you can vote for your candidate. Senators can also propose motions during debates and these can also be voted upon. If you check the last two pages of the in-character thread you can see examples of motions being proposed. Tomorrow evening the debate closes and there will be a day of voting. Then the first consul (who happens to be me at the moment) can play on. What's currently going on is the intermediate debate, which takes place 10 turns into a first consuls reign.
Okay, it's not that simple , but I'd advise you to read the first posts of the in- and the out- of character thread where all the current rules and regulations are updated continuously. In the senate library you can see the maps and avatars and so on.
Any questions, just ask.

EDIT : I may be a fast poster, but not as fast as econ21 :)
You can find out what your avatar, the diplomat Oppius Vintruvius, has been up to by reading the first consul reports thread. He is currently not present in the senate library, but that will happen soon. At the moment he's just left Iberia and is marching towards Massilia, as I want to know for sure if it is still in rebel hands or is the Gauls own it by now. Then you are basically a 'loose cannon' as all the necessary trade agreements and map exchanges have been made. I will probably try to make new alliances with you and explore. any suggestions for your character are always welcome.
