Senator Rasputin, you have been sighted again, which is appreciated. Nonetheless you are urged not to confuse the "Three Weeds" with the Senate floor. I would like to advice you to cut of that beard, take a shower and sober up before returning here to discuss matters of importance.

Fine. Order in here: I'll have a mug of grog (merely to keep off the scurvy, I assure you) and then see you at tavern for some serious ordering.

It's relevant to all, I think, so it's better to post here probably:

quote: I think I understand what our gracious Emperor is trying to say, Modo and Joncnunn, and want to spell it out for you. The purpose of the Senate, and the DG as a whole, is to make decisions on major issues as a group. The Senate should never, ever micromanage the Emperor. It's a succession game, still - the emperor has control over day-to-day affairs, and I would include in that the specific builds of specific cities, the specific uses of specific units (leaders/armies aside), and the specific build queues. The Senate should encourage the Emperor in major issues - for example, stating that we should build more Legion IIIs, for example, but not necessarily *where*; that we should attack Carthage, and even attack Carthago Nova or Carthago (old), but not the specific unit moves to do so. Anything else is silly - we'd argue for months about it, and it's unreasonable. Assume the other emperors are competent. Just because they don't have the strengths of you, doesn't mean you should belittle them or be allowed to tell them what to do - go play SP if that's what you are into. Each of us has strengths and weaknesses, some more than others, but that's what is fun about DemoGames and particularly Succession Games- we get to see other people play other ways.

I actually intended that post as a quite serious post, as shocking as that might come to some of you, and would appreciate it being taken seriously. If you're incapable of doing so, please retire to the appropriate thread. We provide a thread to joke around in; this is not it.

I disagree with Rasputin - e should keep the senate separated from the tavern. Otherwise our glorious empire will be swept out...

Relax Senators. I meant what I quoted. This is a succession game and the players have to be trusted to play. If we appear to be taking it too lightly, perhaps it is because it is the only way we feel we can even be a part of all these 'grand and serious' affairs.

quote: Just because they don't have the strengths of you, doesn't mean you should belittle them

And why get all in a huff in the first place?
What is there really to discuss that is so all important that we need to sit here like a bunch of pompous armchair glory-seeking Senators who snarl at a light-hearted jest. Is there a limit to the polls and strategy and think-tanks around here? I think not. Perhaps this is the one of the better places to joke, and for that matter perhaps it is a reflection of the truth of a cross section of the players here. Perhaps some of us just don't care enough to act the o-so-noble senator parts you expect from us. Perhaps we would rather see the Bananis Imperalis play drunk and in the IRC chat room where we can share in the drunken stupidity. Or perhaps we don't. Perhaps it was best said in your seriously posted quote:

quote: Each of us has strengths and weaknesses, some more than others, but that's what is fun about DemoGames

So impeach me already and start to feel better.

Rasputin, I will be spending the remainder of my career trying to make the great monkey an avatar down at the tavern.

Esoteric and Rasputin, you don't seem to understand what i'm saying. So i'll say it in clear english (or latin, whatever)...

This game is supposed to be fun. For that purpose, we have the Three Weeds Tavern, where people can joke and be silly and whatnot.

This game is also supposed to be interesting and competitive. For that purpose, we have the Senate, where people seriously debate the merits of various proposals, and encourage the general direction of the Emperor's play.

Please keep these two areas separate. Thank you.

It seems that Rome has fallen into neglect, decay and nefariousness since the glorious reign of Emperor Aquavian Lungarius. The Empire is but a shadow of its former glory. Let's hope the honourable Emperor McMeadows can rescue us from ruin.
