TurnChat / Senate Session 16

Thanks to all for your contributions to TurnChat / Senate Session 15. The minutes are now listed and will be presented as the previous Session's minutes when the Senate reconvenes.

There has been some good feedback from the last Session, which will be posted below shortly.

For those that could not make it, feel free to leave any feedback that you feel could assist in the upcoming session of the Senate.

As a member of the Democracy Civ Group, you are already a Senator. You just need to show up for the Session.

The times for this will be advertised on this thread in the coming days.

Once at the session you can load the Sacred Save and participate as the session works its way through the agenda.

So maybe it is time to get out of the Pub for a hour or two; leave those maids for some deserved rest; let your managers look after your wood shops; gather your Axe and Shield and come along and be apart of the Senate Session.

Now, standby for news for the time frame on Turn Chat / Senate Session Number 16!

It's not possible for it to be at 0/0/0. So

It's on Apolyton.net

[Paddy]

Just wandering around as I await departure to a BBQ. I will look into this 0/0/0 matter upon my return.

Thank you all for your patience.

[Paddy]

Ok, still here due to delays of some sort

Not sure what I was trying to say with the 0/0/0, so I have removed it at this time. When my memory kicks in, I will fix it and replace it. well maybe I will...

[ormuzd]

Here's the save:

[Jonny]

Darn, I forgot all about this...

Of course, even if I did remember, I couldn't come anyway because my electricity's been out most of the day, which makes it rather difficult to use a computer and a modem.

Paddy: I have one thing to say to you about the posts you are making like the one above....They're Great!

Keep it up. Hopefully we can get some more people involved in the future.

[BigFurryMonster]

Yes, they are great! And I'm honoured that you left the city name at 'BigFurryCity'. Yes, we put some jokes in the map :-) Just make sure you defend the city well!

One request: can you post some screenshots? One overview shot and one shot of the recent findings by the galleys will do fine.
