1.0 Succession Game Discussion Thread

**Bootsiuv** · 10-27-2007, 02:22

Yes, Glenn, as soon as the proposals are voted on, the council thread will be reopened, and we'll have time for free deliberation, before the next 48 hr period where our council-members shall once again be allowed to put forth formal proposals.

And you were right on in the story thread....I plan on doing one on Mago soon, nothing much....I just like to write....but please continue, as it's what it it there for.

And I will not make deals with provinces for bribed votes my friend. If Boru is most deserving of your vote based on his merits, very good then.

Bootsiuv

As it stands now....

Bootsiuv - 1
Boru - 1
Spoofa - 0

I'll vote Bootsiuv. I think it only fitting the first term should go to the founder. Of course, like the consular elections, past consuls may not run again for a period of x terms, and I think that's a good rule. What is the live meeting being held on>? I have no x-fire. And it would correspond to 6am sunday morning for me, so I'll have to set my alarm clock.

I wonder about the whole midnight thing as well that Glenn has raised. It is a nice idea, and as I see it, it shouldn't be a problem as long as the whole thing is in character, yes?

And about the sheep's bladder, we're Kart-Hadast, my goodness. Import-export is our business. Hardly a problem, we're the closest the ancient world had to Amazon.com.

And Congratulations Bootsiuv! The tavern barkeeper has a kid! Boy, or girl?

**Bootsiuv** · 10-27-2007, 03:02

Boy.

Unfortunately friend, as of right now it looks like we're shooting for X-Fire....with MSN as a back-up. I have not required people give any other platform names because I've asked enough up to this point.

That being said....if we do experience troubles with X-Fire this week, we'll simply have to do standard council thread votes, and hold off on the live votes until a more stable platform can be found. Quite frankly, I've never heard of such things even being attempted, so I'm still not even certain we can pull it off.

I have been perusing the propositions for redundancy, and will provide an ammended list within a few hours time. All players unable to attend the live meeting will be given a period of 24 hours to vote on proposals in that thread. I prefer it to remain in character, but see nothing wrong in some playful badgering, assuming that remains in character as well.

It won't matter much, as I'll clearly mark the beginning of the next session with large, bold type, and I'll make the list of proposals available in post 2 and the first post of that session, for easy reference.

Well, that's about all for now.

A list of the finalized props can be downloaded HERE.

Proposals for the 1st term of Shophet Abib 272 - Abib 270

Constitutional Proposal 1.1 - [I, Gisgo, Governor of Ippone, do hereby propose] an amendment be added to the constitution requiring a second for any nominee for Shophet before he can be added to the list of those seeking the position.

Constitutional Proposal 1.2 [originally Strategic Proposal 1.11] – Elect a general (hence known as the Magistrate) who shares the Shophet's term.

Constitutional Proposal 1.3 [originally Strategic Proposal 1.11] - Allow the Shophet to nominate a Magistrate in times of urgent need.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategic Proposal 1.2 - I [Hanno, Governor of Lepki] would advise to see two levies made in each city of Iberia, in Corsica, in Sardinia, and in Lilybaeum.

Strategic Proposal 1.3 - The city of Lepki will be given the highest priority for construction of choice in the year 272 B.C.E.

Strategic proposal 1.4 – Peace with Epirus provided a payment for troubles caused [restitution] of at least 5.000 (10.000 is better) and Cartogaphy information.

Strategic Proposal 1.6 – building ports followed by the Construction priority to the economical growth of Karalis, Alalia and Lilibeo, by building trade centers, farms, and esecially mines in Karalis as soon as possible.

Strategic Proposal 1.7 – build a better port at Lilibeo to increase our trade value.

Strategic Proposal 1.8 - A small company of levies should be constructed by the cities of Kart-Hadast, Attiqa and Adrumeto, that can be kept between these three provinces.

Strategic Proposal 1.9 - For my province I [Gisgo, Governor of Ippone] would like permission and troops from the senate to move south of my city and take the region south of Ippone.

Strategic Proposal 1.10 - Along the lines of proposal 1.8 i say that roads be built in as many provinces as possible as this will allow the forces in proposal 1.8 to better defend out homeland from any threats that do come!

Strategic Proposal 1.11 - The fleet near Alalia should be the only one not disbanded with the first turn.

Strategic Proposal 1.13 - Constructing civilian ports where the local terrain allows it should have priority over all but the most urgent of needs.

Strategic proposal 1.14 - Encourage growth in Alalia and build up military facilities to support future operations.

Strategic proposal 1.15 - Concentrate all currently availible offensive forces on taking north-west Africa asap.

Strategic proposal 1.16 - Therefore I propose the building of walls in Bocchoris, Alalia, Karali and Ippone.

Strategic proposal 1.17 - Therefore I propose we raise taxes all over our glorious empire.

Strategic proposal 1.18 - I [Hamalcar, Governor of Lilibeo] must requesition the forces from Atiqa, along with one company of Numidian Cavalry from Kart-Hadast itself, to be sent on a voyage to sicily to bolster my forces there, before they sail though, I ask that we train one company of Dorki Leebi-Feenikim Mookdamim (Liby-Phoecians) in Aqita or Kart-Hadast to be sent along with them, to ensure victory.

Strategic proposal 1.19 - I [Hamalcar, Governor of Lilibeo] also ask that our elephants be kept in our service until at least after I have Syracusai.

Strategic Proposal 1.22 - Admiral Thero will be allowed to retain command over a fleet of 26 of our finest warships. All other fleets will be disbanded.

Proposal 1.25 - Take Kirtan,Siga,Lixus and Sala in Mauritania.

Strategic Proposal 1.26 was just too large, so ignore it, as I've decided it's more of a general guideline, and the same thing can be accomplished by voting for the proper proposals.

You'll still find it on the .txt file, but, like I said, ignore it, as I've decided it's simply too large to be considered one proposal, and the same will be accomplished by voting yay for certain proposals and nay for others.

I'm beginning to think that the live meeting, while useful perhaps for stategic discussion, may be somewhat pointless for voting, as it would be just as easy to write a numbered yes/no response in the council thread.

That being said, have this list handy for the meeting, as we'll just move forward as planned. If, as I fear, it's simply too complicated orgaizing 10+ people to get straight answers, we may still offer the live meetings for talk on strategies, etc., and all voting will be held on these boards.

Thanks for your time.

what say the rest of the council? i can always remove the post and stick it in here if people think it icky in the council thread and replace it with something else

**Xehh II** · 10-27-2007, 10:17

Since I've missed 16 pages of this could someone please sum it up for me?

**Leão magno** · 10-27-2007, 14:19

The proposals above quite sum it all besides rules that can be viewed in the first page. To a complete information we have three contenders to be the Sophet (the first player to play the mod for a eigth turns period) who will be trusted to follow, as much as possible, the proposals the rest of the players aproove. Votation is still to happen today

**Leão magno** · 10-27-2007, 14:30

It seems that Strategic proposal 1.13 is real similar to 1.6.

**madmatg** · 10-27-2007, 22:11

i vote for spoofa i want syrakusa after kirtan of course

**Boru** · 10-27-2007, 22:47

Sorry for the short notice, in 15 min. i will be making the chat on xfire, so add boru87 if u have not already. Don't worry about being too late as we shall probably still be talking. But the election will be the first thing done, so if you want to take part in that make sure to be there shortly after we start. Thanks and hope to see everyone there!

**Bootsiuv** · 10-28-2007, 00:21

Well...an interesting first live meeting, to say the least. We may rework somethings....too many props apparently.

Sorry folks, this is as new to me as it is to you. I've tried to be organized, but unforeseen problems tend to be unforeseen.

I'm gonna talk with our current Shophet Boru, and we may make a few changes.
