I think the salaries are ok...would I be able to get a "bonus" every time I beat up some pirates? :)

Do I get a bonus as Basilikos Grammateus, perhaps I could put it down under corruption in my reports.

Why are the votes hidden in the poll, surely the Synedrion would be a simple raising of hands to vote and everybody could see who voted which way for each edict?

Because that's not how things worked, mostly. The Athenians, for example, has a large vase and, upon voting for a specific law or legislation in general, the Council members threw a pebble inside the vase. There were two pebble colours, a black (no-vote) and a white (yes-vote) one. This was done anonymously, as you may understand. The main reason is, because it helps when you're afraid of what you vote. Generally, it's considered beter to vote anonymously.

Actully, all of you guys can be as corrupt as possible. Just take on a savegame, examine the finances, and see if you can get any bonus income from a specific category, like "corruption" (under faction finances) for example. Then just PM me and I'll arrange everything needed.

See my reply above.

Hey Maion, I am gonna have to drop out... my hearts just not in it, trying to do four PBM at one time, I am a chancellor in WotB and I just dont have time to go through the stuff here. sorry.

[A Very Super Market]

I'm not dropping out, but I do apologize for my inactiveness here.

It is partly due to EB not working properly on a new computer, and partly because I feel a bit intimidated by the other well-thought-out posts by other players. I don't even know what to give my character as a name yet! As a synedros, I simply vote for edicts, correct? If that is all, then I will immediately start to actually contribute to the game. But first, I must root through the EB files until I find a suitable name.

Surely theres a random Greek name generator somewhere on the net.

edit: Tried it for you and got Timon Philomeleides.

Sure man, I'll unsuscribe you then.

OK, cool. Please remember to state your name and position when voting, so I can count the votes and see who actually voted and who not.
