I love my new job. Im seventeen so I make minumum wage, but its still awesome.

My mom is the head of nursing at a old peoples home, so she got me a job in the kitchen. I only have to work at breakfest and lunch and maybe dinner. Inbetween I...

a) Take a nap

b) Surf the net

3) watch television on a flat screen

4) grab a book out of the giant library.

When I do actually work it involves washing dishes, setting up the tables, and taking old people orders and getting their food for them. None of which I really mind, since I have a light stuttering problem and this kind of structured talking without any consequence (they cant hear worth crap anyways) helps alot. I just spent a hour walking around the building and ended up shooting some hoops and playing on the jungle gym, and got payed for it!
The other employees here are pretty chill, except for the top boss lady. The other workers in the kitchen are all black and pretty chill also. They cus and threaten eachother for fun ("Your always in my way, one day im going to F you up; you know that right?"). Everyone in the kitchen can eat whatever they want, I can go in there right now and get a dozen hot wings or a cake if I wanted too. I can take stuff home too as long as its not too noticable.

mmmm cake, thats a good idea

hahaha good to hear Mooks.

Anyway, the Legio III achieved 2 victories, will post in battle reports. navarro, the save has been PMed. Tiberius and Scipio are ready to become Legatii now.

[navarro951]

got the save will post it. Potocello your report wont open i cant read it to small. Clear victory? I am assuming yes so Longvs is a Dux now.

[Potocello]

Legion commanders, please PM me if you have any awards / decorations you want added to your section of the Phalerium. Remember: Awards for commanders should be approved / voted on / bestowed by the senate (especially the Triumphus!)

A brief description of who is getting what and why is most appreciated.

[Potocello]

give Bean a Triumph perhaps?

[everyone]

hi, since the Dux campaign is over, I assume it's Cicero's turn to be very busy handling retraining, recruitment, garrisons and the miscellaneous stuff; so I'll try to coordinate some of the recruitment and such. so I think I'll need Navarro to move those units to Illyria as according to my SOT first.
Legio I: can be retrained whenever, Segestica isn't under threat from any large enemy armies 22.3% damaged*
Legio II: needs to take turns with Legio III to retrain, I think Legio III should go first, Legio II is still in good shape 12.6% damaged
Legio III: should be retrained first, it's in the worst shape and took a bit of a beating, though it won. 23.3% damaged

*yes I calculated it based on the battle results, although it's based on numbers and not unit quality.

but it's still obvious that Legio III should be retrained first. so I suggest the 4 garrison units be sent via ship to epidamnon and Legio II protecting the city; while Legio III gets sent back via ship to be retrained.

and on the dux campaign thing, I've no idea what to do with it yet, perhaps the senate shouldn't declare it over until there's a clear sign (e.g. Epirotes 'withdrawing' by means of moving troops away/legions securing the region).

[Mooks]

I think legio II should be split in half and fill the other missing halves of legio I and II then sent back to italy for retraining or reinforcements sent from italy.

[SwissBarbar]

you mean legio III should be split.

[Potocello]

I like everyone's idea about training a few units then sending them over to Epidamnos. on that note could you recruit some more units for me everyone? not sure which ones i want yet

[everyone]

could you recruit some more units for me everyone? not sure which ones i want yet

I don't think so, it would be rather odd as there isn't any IC reason for me doing so. and don't try bribing Cicero via PM, he's got the "stern"/"spartan" trait (I forgot which one), which means he's less likely to accept bribes never mind, only someone as daft as Tiberius would do that. I think the only way is in the senate, darn if only that CA I proposed the previous session was seconded.

touche mr.salesmen.

it is over, the objectives are complete, as i posted in the curia we must now decide as a senate what to do.

On the note of giving more units. I think we need to be fair and keep what we have. While all you Dux's can now command a few more units, doesnt mean you need them. Lets kick in some money for garrisons, get our new Legatus's a legion of their own and maybe formulate another offensive.

If you ask me i say we just wipe Epeiros off the face of the earth. they are Romes soul enemy right now the would have no mercy shown.

[/Bean\]

Yay, he's finally awake!

And no, don't destroy them. Thats very bad for roleplay reasons.

[navarro951]

umm no it is not the Romans cheered in exultant joy when they defeated their biggest Mediterranean enemy since carthage. Shoot you wanna talk good roleplay, technically we should be at war with Carthage and already be taking Sardin Corsica and Sicilia.

[/Bean\]

Thats not roleplay, thats historical accuracy. They're different.

And pleeeease Navarro, answer my PM...it's been so long

Welcome to the world of work, my son. Enjoy it while you can and save your money. It's very important that you save your money. There will be plenty of things to spend it on - not all of which you want to do! (bills)

Glad it's all fun and games now. Try not to let it get your down when the days get long and boring, or you'd rather be doing something else. And remember, what you do reflects on your mother. So, keep straight and fly right!

I remember the days when i was dating my wife. She was the head chef at a nursing home. She used to hook her little helpers up with all sorts of food if they were good and make them clean all sorts of nasty stuff and rearrange the freezers if they sucked! Be glad you don't work for her
