The Great Roll of Emperors

[Paddy]

welcome aboard McMeadows

the Emperor has the responsibility for his time

but he answers to the Senate

have you read the "Book of Law" thread

[McMeadows]

I was just about to edit my post as it was the next thread I read after posting. It's clear now. Quite a few new threads (topped) for this game. As I understand I should now apply for a Dem game membership?

[Paddy]

[McMeadows]

The great family of Snoopus Caninus Coolius would like to add its name to the Roll. SCQR!

Note: SCQR = Snoopus Canisque Romanus = Snoopy and the Dogs of Rome

Welcome ya old confused dawggggggggg - meow

[McMeadows]

A footnote,
The game has a maximum of 130 turns and each emperor is proposed to rule for 10 turns. Wouldn't it be either a better idea to rule for a shorter period of time (5 turns), or close the entries on emperors. At least restrict the number of entries to 13...

[Paddy]

yes - well said

5 turns is much better

allows time for new players to join in

so then shal we have it that an updat is needed at 2 turns, then on the 5th turn

Oh no!

Two turns is too short so seriously break things.

[Paddy]

well if that is the case old chap then the Senators really do not get to have any input, except between emperors

just trying to keep the game at a level where people can still participate

[Modo44]

I don't mind. But with shorter Emperor terms the Consul role might become too dominant, don't you think?

[McMeadows]

I think it's ok to have the senate have a review obver what's going on in between emperors and provide the new emperor with their thoughts. It's up to him what to do with it. Maybe we could think of some time frames of reaction time. Say 36 hours to play and post, if not able to, next in line to play, and then retry after that person. Then 36 hours of discussion and back to 36 hours of playing.
I understand this is really fast and we might miss out on a lot of discussion, but that might also be a bit of a benefit. The senate are to be advisors and we are to learn from each other and our mistakes. Further more this way the fast pace of the game might be interesting. 5 turns in 3 days. With a max of 130 turns, we're finished within 78 days (and ready for the next challenge). Because of having quite a few people in the senate, there will always be a few available to advise and it won't be a problem if someone misses out on a few days. If we agree upon a schedule of play, we can also make that schedule and add it to the first post. If we then see it coming we can't make our reign period, we can also change places beforehand and be ready to take up the save when the reign has come.
