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!
