  • Proposal: Pater Patriae

    In ancient Rome, the Senate would occasionally confer the title 'Pater Patriae' (Father of the Fatherland) on particularly important persons from time to time. The first recepient of this title was Marcus Tullius Cicero in 63 B.C. It was later granted to Julius Caesar, and many later Emperors.

    I propose the creation of an office in this game with the title Pater Patriae. This person would be the general organizational force behind the game, ensuring the Emperors got the save, played it on time, and generally ensuring the smooth flow of the game. This holder of this office would also get mod powers to keep the forum itself clean. Should the Pater Patriae retire, we'd elect a new person for the job.

    Lastly, I propose that Paddy the Scot, in recognition for all his hard work into getting this game going, be given this title.

    ok. cool plan.

    I am a Senator, I will second this. I like the fancy title and office idea. I am not sure how to go about 'bestowing' mod powers to a mod, but let's give it a shot.

    I reserve the right to speak gibberish in public, to embarass myself as a Senator, and to generally ignore the Bananis Imperialis; assumed competent. The Decadence that was Rome scoffs, I stand in the Bacchanalian temples laughing.

              The motion is strongly supported by my people.

                        That's why I proposed this position - Paddy's been doing this wonderful work as driving force behind the game, and none of it was recognized officially.
