OK, Tiberius - I'd be happy to have you in the Upper House. But who knows, the campaign may keep going until one of your vacations and you could pick up a reign?

Mount - thanks for reminding me about the parallel with the interactive histories. I've put a call for players in both the Chapter House and the Colosseum. Hopefully, we'll have some new players come over.

I'm starting to wonder if we could make more of TinCow's original idea of Senate missions. Maybe during the interregnum's, the Senate could propose and vote on motions ("Carthage must be destroyed") quite independent of the manifestoes. First Consuls could ignore the Senate missions at their own peril (or could incorporate them into their manifestoes).
