We Aristocrats applaud the Senate for it's wise choice. We will prove that it was not a foolish one. I believe we must reorganize the leadership in more than one front in order to best the enemies of Rome, but that we will think about in a few days.

Perhaps my good Supervark we might practice our troops together? any scenario you name we shall be glad to entertain.

I congratulate you on your victory but based on this

I wonder if his senility would now extend to feeling that a defeat for him in the election for consul must be answered by taking up arms to oppose such a result in order to obey the "true" wishes of the Senate that Senator Ericus imagines he hears???

I have heard of sore losers but never a sore winner.

You think I would take up arms against yourself, if Rome wished me too then yes I would.

Now get on with the running of Rome and let us all work together.

Yours sympathetically


Ericus

PS I was thinking of retirement but still felt that Rome needs me. Although waiting in the wings is Id Demonicariumates. He is my 1st cousin. Yes cousin Id:)

I see that Senator Ericus seems to have a little trouble with determinining propter hoc...post hoc. The campaign rhetoric he quotes below was clearly broadcast in the forum before the results of the consular election were announced. But that is all in the past now. Let us shake the magic slate and erase any ill feelings left from the Consular campaign. Let us now all go forward for the greater glory and fortune of Rome.

Well it seemed to me that you knew you had already won.

About 7 hours before the vote was cast.

Biased on what has happened so far, the strange thing is I wasn't surprised.

Oh yes and before you say I spelt based wrong, have I?

It seems to me that the Consul Batesmotel simply hires a better class of haruspex. And he has a magic slate! Truly we Romans are blessed with such leaders!

Tribune Keyth

Damn entrail enthusiasts (had to look up haruspex):) Witchcaft, sorcery, ye Gods.

"Tradition, tradition! Tradition!" as our devout Juaean clients say.

Of course the Senate of Rome must respect the wishes of the gods as they choose to reveal their wishes as omens!

If you wish to base your spelt, I would recommend using standard ambush marker sized bases. Fortunately the rules make allowances for use of figures on non-standard bases so it should not be a problem if you have already mounted them on a different size base.

We say motorway, you say highway, we say nappies you say diapers, we say spelt, you say spelled, let's call the whole thing off LOL

# Rome suffers from a lack of supply resulting from the sea blockade by the Cilician Pirates.
# The war between Mithridates and the seleucidian Emperor Seleucus VII continues.
# Ptolemaic Egypt offers an alliance, they are hoping we could release their province Cyprus from the Cilicians.
# Sertorius still loots our two provinces in Hispania and already reduced some minor cities
# Several street gangs fight for control of the temple district of Rome
# There are rumors our italian allied prepare for foundation of an own state, we are afraid of another Social War.
# The Magistrate gotta prepare for a currency reform in the foreseeable future

Could an updated version of the map be posted soon? Also, you might want to make a recruitment post in the main forum, some people might think the campaign has already started and can't be joined, due to the high post amount. You should state in the post that it's a continuous one.

Hi Tiavals.

Have a look at the main forum, I´ve posted an invitation to the campaign already....

The map will be posted soon,just waiting for the final outcome of the war in Cappadocia.
