    Mighty Senators of Rome

    The concept of this game was to be fast, simple and pleasing for all to play. It was to be a place to encourage those who had never been involved in any style of democracy game to come forth and enjoy, get a hold of the concept of joint games, and then hopefully funnel them into the many other versions of Democracy Games that abound this Great Universe of Apolyton CIV III

    In this it is the hope of many not to become tooo bogged down in some of the moe intrivate and unusually time issues that have plagued and sometimes even destroyed the other games that are around

    So this game came with some simple rules - The Grand Book of Rome - Our Law

    It came with The Roll of Senators - the sign up thread

    And it came with The Great Roll of Emperors for those who wished to have a turn playing the actual saves each week.

    Now originally there were to be THREE Consuls who were to assist the Emperor in his time at the HELM of Rome

    Yet in the time when we started there were hardly enough people participating to fill all of these roles. So we voted and the positions of Consul was scrapped for the time being.

    This quickly was shown to be a wrong decision

    Then, as is stated in the Book of Law, Consuls, being the Former Emperor, and the next two in line for the Title of Emperor were to assist the Emperor

    This has only partially worked

    Thus emails, pms, messageboards and posts have been floated for a while with suggestions and solutions

    I personally would like to see the position of Consul raised and strongly supported

    For this reason I have started the following thread Consuls Of Rome - We Need You To Come Forth

    maye they do need to be in position for several weeks as discussed in that thread



    Senatrs of Rome, I ask that we look to fulfilling the positions of Consuls, not now building ourselves another teir of leadership.

    Struth lads I believe we seek the sae role to be fulfilled with these two different names.


    ---------------------------------------------------

    as stated in the Book of Law:

    4.a. The Consuls are drawn from the The Great Roll of Emperors. Here we take the Emperor who has just Retired, and the next Two Heirs to the Throne.

    It is the Consul’s job to present and moderate ideas for the Emperor to utilize during his term. This means through running threads, polls and getting discussions underway and followed through.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    and also stated in the Book of Law:

    Thank you one and all for your participation in the polls and threads to get us this far.

    Here be the way we start this mighty game.

    This is all open to negotiation and change in the mighty Senate of Rome.

                I still feel like throwing around a few ideas...

                -Elect the consuls at regular intervals, maybe every 30 turns. If we have three of them, stagger the elections.

                -Give the consuls general judicial powers in addition to current ones. You know, just to solve disputes between players, and keep the peace (Partys at Paddy's are known to get loud, occasionally waking his neighbors )

                -Formalize the position of Pater Patriae. Make it an official, administrative position. This person would be elected when the old Pater Patriae either retires, or disappears (or is stabbed in the back by a couple of Senators )

                  I agree with Paddy....let's expand the role of Consul, keep them on as elected officials for several Emperors' turns, then vote on retaining or replacing them, one at a time. Say 20 turns to begin with, then re-vote.

                  Go here for your nominations, which so far for the first term include myself, Platypus Rex and MWIA.
                  So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
                  Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste

                      great points here on the Consuls

                      ahhh the game has only just started and looks like my days are numbered already

                          Status:

                          I missed Paddy on MSN in the last 12 hours but hopefully he and I will be able to talk soon.

                          Today is my oldest son's birthday so please bear with me, we may not be able to announce anything until tomorrow or monday.

                          And I still have some info to post on the current save for discussion before I play.

                            ahhh well maybe I will retire to my properties, and spend my hours either riding my horses or serving bar

                            leave Rome to those with such mighty ambitions and the dedication to serve The Glory of Rome

                            Senators, have I caused you grief?
