Koinon Hellenon: Athens X Sparta (.org X TWCenter), a participative AAR - Athenai

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Arthouros spoke briefly on the matters many councillors had forgotten, those brought forth by one of the most prominent members of the assembly, and urged the councillors to turn their attention to these matters:

"Leumenes, on the matter of building walls as our primary building upon liberating Thermon, I AGREE . Furthermore regarding the Boule of the Prytaneis every year that you proposed, alternating between Sparte and Athenai each year, discussing matters of cooperation, I also AGREE"

Arthouros turned his attention to another proposal by an other councillor he had neglected to address:

"Kaleros, I too hold the view that we should let the Makedones and Epiriotai struggle between each other, therefore I AGREE that we should NOT launch an assault at Pella"

Arthouros then remembered another matter of not quite the same importance.

He pulled out a parchment and read a short passage of it:

"Spartan Orders -Population of Pella to be expelled if conquered."

"Let it be said that when Pella is conquered, I PROPOSE we simply occupy the city. How can we win over the Makedonian people and convince them that we provide a better alternative than Antigonos when we treat them no better then their ruler have treated us? We should welcome them after our troops have been welcomed *cough, conquered them* as brothers, and it is my firm belief that this is not the best way to start off such a political relationship. Of course one could argue that we do not need to "win them over", but surely we honourable Hêllenes should prove our higher moral standards to those we vanquish, if we do not, then what separates us from simple Barbaroi?"

And with that Arthouros left the ekklesia, leaving for his humble house, and went to bed.

Election results are in!

It was expected for Areus to defeat Doros in the election for Strategos, but Akrotatos only had a small advantage over Chremonides and the position could have gone either way. Still, the Athenians will now hold the office of Polemarchos for the next 4 years. Polemarchos Doros may command an Athenian Army of 12 units.


The party elections will remain open for now. No member of any party has declared their candidature, but they may still do so. If no members challenge the current party leader for an election, the current leader will remain in power.

With the results announced it will be easier for the Athenians to plan their next moves.

Leumenes stood up, confident, even so the spartans won the elections, yet he knew they could work together. He stood up.

"I NOMINATE myself as Epistates. I will uphold the rights of every greek and will work for a complete and true Koinon with the members of the other poleis. So we may propser and defeat all our enemies, barbaroi or traitorous greeks."

Leumenes sat down, eager for the response of his proposalsa nd candidature.

[Molinaargh]

I nominate myself as Epistates.

The position of Epistates is currently decided through sorting a random Party Leader out of the 4 Party Leadres, not through voting. I agree it's not the best system, so if others back you on your candidature then you'll get the position (it wasn't uncommon for positions in Athens to be sorted randomly).
