CRISIS OF THE REPUBLIC TOURNAMENT / Roman Senate

[Demetrios]

Hi Morbio.

Please join one of the political parties, the respective party leader will assist you to get into the story.

Available parties ( party leaders) are:

Republicans ( Ericdoman)

Aristocrats ( Batesmotel)

Populars ( Keyth)

Plutocrats ( Kilroy)

Rome desperately needs capable commanders, as the Republic suffered humilating defeats throughout the last month, particulary against Mithridates VI and Selecus VII.

Take care, Klaus

Oh just stay neutral and play havoc

[rexhurley]

Heathen heretic LIAR!! Nah I say I'm even willing and as it stands stand at the gates of Rome with my poor minions to bring order to the chaos where are those scandolous dogs that accuse the chocie I made bring it to the circus and we shall have a duel and in the meantime my neutral troops shall guard the street corners for impostor's informers, the illiterate and the elected......

If one cannot discourse like a gentleman, perhaps you should hire a Greek grammarian to assist you? Perhaps one of the Consuls should send his lictors to your villa to teach you some manners...

Tribune Keyth

As the gods are my witness I have ascended in the ranks of life a villa wow I shall have to move my meager possesions from my tenant and move to the country

Hail the Senate

Is it true we now have a new faction/party.

The monster raving anarchistic loony party

Yours concerned

Ericus Domanicus

Now I wonder who you could be talking about

[FedeM]

I'm at the doors of the Senate and it's empty. What happened with the meeting? The Consuls fall asleep? They run out of ideas? The Republic is in peril and we must act!

[Tiavals]

Our dear Censor has decided to postpone the meeting, it seems.

[Demetrios]

The Censor is waiting for a clarification by Consul Batesmotelus. Afterwards the Agenda will be published.
Need an answer by Batesmotelus to my last PM

SPQR

[ericdoman1]

Hail Demetrios

This censor thing should have been announced yesterday, I believe.

We are awaiting the new map. Hopefully after paying the cartographers a ridiculous amount of money. My vineyard with the Pontlate, special wine vintage should be visible. Hope you don't mind.

I was going to include one or two of my villas as well but the cost was ludicrous.

If I am to head off to this Mr Dates XVI (sounds very pretentious) or whatever his name is in Pont, would need these maps ready and sent on some of my ships, carrier cranes or by land.

PM as in afternoon, well if my eyes do not decieve me it is quite dark here or did you mean post mortem. The Aristos come into power and within a few days they have an embarassing political death.

[ericdoman1]

PS Why is my avatar a ruddy SdKfz thingummy. I thought we were the ancient world

[Demetrios]

Ericus,

you´ll find the new map on page 21, post 2

Cheers, Klaus

Thats your new war chariot, the engineers didnt draw in the 4 donkeys it will take to haul it around the battlefield.

This delay from the aristos would be funny if the Republic wasnt in such dire straights. After all, they run a political campaign on how much "better" things will be if they are in power, now the're in power and they dont know whats wrong? Baahhh

[Tiavals]

One must not rush important matters. It is a grave thing to determine the agenda for the Senate, after all. Perhaps you would like to rush forward and hope things go well, but we know better.
