The Senate [Concluded]

[Double A]

ooc: I'm fairly sure you weren't first consul in Roman history. Senate is already established in this game.

[Romanic]

Yes, yes, that's right I go to church almost every day. Thank you senator GE for your support.

vote: Romanic

I will be a good Consul. Evil will be purged from this nation, you have my word.

[Secura]

I have never heard of this Clemenceau fellow, the name sounds Gaulish however and we all know their approach to politics involves throwing root vegetables at one another and admiring their ability to cultivate peculiar body scents garnered from a lack of visiting the public baths.

At any rate, this Clemenceau's statement regarding generals is foolish, as is your desire to cite it as an excuse to neuter our influence; certainly there would be little point fighting a war without the brave soldiers who dedicate their lives to the cause, but where would those soldiers be without the direction and neverending inspiration that only comes from a strong leader?

And what stronger leadership could there be than a commander?

Sheesh Pizza, rejecting an open hand like that? Is it because it's the hand of a "lowly plebian"?

You peasants have done enough to damage the merchants I represent. Our current standing in the Senate reflects that.

Oh, I'm sorry, did you expect me to forget?


Vote: Secura

I'm displeased by how the current Consul has treated us.

[Diamondeye]

Oh, I'm sorry, did you expect me to forget?

No, but forgive, perhaps.
I never attacked your faction (and Romanic did only once, randomly) before you started your crusade of hate against us. This is all just (in both meanings of the word; "merely" and "with justice") retribution. Thus:

One does not forgive those who have given no reason to.

After raiding our coffers to the point of near-bankruptcy, we are supposed to thank you? Say it's all good, brah?

I think not.

It would seem the people are not happy with their current tax rate. Perhaps they would care to see it raised?

As a senator of Rome I demand you at least count my valid votes, and yet my vote from 1 hours ago goes unheaded. I shall there for fix the tally:

Military: 25
Civic: 20
Religious: 22
Mercantile: 15
Populist: 18


I shall then vote:

The Mercantile leader would be willing to discuss ending the animosity between our factions, Populist leader.

For now, we will put some coin into our faction from the church, who took when we were at our weakest.

A little from here, a little from there. You also took from us when we were low. Nothing personal, Civic-minded people.
