I still think this should have been brought out in the open. This is definately not fun. To all the parties involved this is cr4p and I hope this doesn't spread into other games, and threads.

far out you are impatient

I have stated I would
and I will now then

I was doing some other things


OK

Skrobism

as Emperor why did you:

leave border cities unprotected?

leave workers out in the field as enemy units approach

enter into new alliances against countries that it has clearly been discussed that we would no longer war with?

Look to the save

look at the shambles this is in

these are the accusations

And here I ask you to answer them

I have been a loyal member of this Senate from the beginning

you push and shove your way around here as though you own the place

yet you have left our people at the mercy of our enemies

why have you done this

why?

without your impatience I would have had my dinner, finished my work for my client and posted this in an orderly fashion

but you push and shove time and again

so there you go

why will cities now fall

why will our people die

why will we have to continue in old wars

why did you do it?

Oh it's me? LOL I will answer.

yes that I was enjoying the afternoon with my family, pottering around, doing some work for a client and about to enjoy a meal

do not let life interupt when they call

you can see I am quite unreasonable these days

must to too old and grumpy

more reason for me to have stepped down from the Senate Administration postion

for the Glory that is Rome

let these young bucks take up the position

let us see how they Glorify Rome in Splendour then

re: as Emperor why did you: leave border cities unprotected?

Well, since I can't use "move to", you'd never be able to see troops moving towards the borders. I can't help if our Enemies keep marching through our pathetic lines of defense.

ooc:
Sorry that I goofed up your day, but if I had been included in these questions or treason I could have started answering then. Don't let a silly game get in the way of RL.

Please accept my apologies. now back to the game.

re: leave workers out in the field as enemy units approach
There's a whole city full of workers not doing a darn thing. In other places I have troops protecting workers, and attacking the enemy before they can get to our workers.

re: enter into new alliances against countries that it has clearly been discussed that we would no longer war with?

I seem to remember being told to bind the Macedonians with us against Carthage! Since that was already done, what's the harm in Bind our other committed allies with us against Carthage. In the War Poll Carthage was our sworn enemy. I respected the will of the Senate based on the comments and results of the polls. I did see any rules or laws forbiding the Emporer from signing treaties.

re: Look to the save look at the shambles this is in

Look to your own posts. My save was praised by you and others. I did not pick a fight with Persia, the Scythians and Carthage all at once. I could not help that the Celts and Carthage plotted against us on my first turn. I am not the one who went Legion crazy and left the Sea for the Carthagians and Macedonians. A shambles! We have 5 boats. The others don't move a ship without an escort of 5 ships! A shambles! If it is a shambles I dare say it was handed to me that way.

But, I don't think it is a complete shambles. Spain is within our grasp and that was this Senate's Highest priority! Look to the polls. That is what the Senate asked for and that is what I delivered. There is one more Carth city in Spain and the Celt cities are falling our way there too. This is not a shambles. Look to your own words.

Time to anti up

Each will have the floor

[Daddy-O]

I am not done yet. (sorry just acting like I own the place)

as stated before, as the Chief Administrator of the Senate I was the abitrator of the discussion where these questions were raised

as to my praises, well I was glad to see your safe return to Rome.
I was glad that you had had NO major dramas that required you to suspended your turns and seek council from the Senate, as is stiplautated in the Great Book of Rome - Our Laws. Which you know you were requested to read prior to starting your time as Emperor

so you can accuse me of many things, but you have to now answer to the people of Rome

re: I (Paddy) have been a loyal member of this Senate from the beginning; you push and shove your way around here as though you own the place

The first posts are on 11/03/2004. I joined this game on 11/12 before Modo44 first turn which ended on the 14th. I too think I have loyally been here from the start. No I do not own the place, but when there are Senators whispering in the shadows, I think they should be called out. Paddy, I realize that you are just the mouth piece for these Brutuses. I ask that the others come out of the shadows.

And push my way around? No one was posting! There was no one to push! I certainly wasn't pushing GTroll around he's too lovable. Just look at that avatar. Who would push him around?

skrobism..if you have stretched the Roman Truth ONE IOTA as Academius,E Pluribus & Unum are witness from hither to therea..

Ye shall be brought forth..


I am currently seeking your true lineage for a viscious rumor is about what say ye in this mannner to defend thyself?

[Daddy-O]

Paddy I don't think I accused you individually of anything. Just being the mouth piece for the Senate.

I did not run across any major problems that should have brought the Senate into my turn as stated by the rules that I read and re-read. When Carthage and the Celts made a pact against us I considered a call to the Senate.

But -
1 - the Senate was already calling for war with the Celts. No problem there.

2 - I was already being told to hurry up and play. Remember? Asking the Senate for an opinion took too long the first time!
