The Will of the Senate - out of character thread

[Mount Suribachi]

Sorry, TinCow - is post #284 (wow, so many) not clear?

I've tried to re-do the table in the Senate deliberations thread to be up to date.

Publius Pansa => Glaucus
Decius Laevinus => Tiberius
Amulius Coruncanius => Mount Suribachi
Marcus Laevinus => Dutch_guy
Manius Amelius => Destroyer of Hope

I know it's confusing the heck out of me, but hopefully that's it and I won't have to re-assign any more avatars for a while - new avatars will just go to the Upper House.

I was going to ask to stay as Manius Amelius, but I'm in the middle of something of a chain, so Amulius Coruncanius I guess I am. I'll try and d'load the save game tonight or tomorrow morning and check him out

Regarding blitzing, I'm glad you brought it up Simon. I've been around enough PBEMs with you to know that you're not a glory seeker who tries to conquer the whole map during his "reign", but I was a little concerned as to how this has started out, with so many of our Senators pushing for an agressive, expansionist approach. Given that we are trying to role-play a realistic game as Rome, this hawkish approach contrasts with the traditional Republican Roman tradition of conservatism and suspicion of foreign adventures and wars. I've tried to role-play this in the IC thread, and have constantly voted against conquest and war over anyone apart from the Greeks. I guess that unlike real Roman Senators we don't have vast personal fortunes to protect which makes us much more keen to go to war!
