Give what up? All I am saying is that there should be consistency with elections. Even though the optimates and populares have won this one, it should stay open for the full amount of time. There is no reason to rush things. If the polls are only meant to be open for 24 hours, then last week I won the election. That is all I am saying.

thats a good point. consistency would be rather nice especially in elections. anyhoo... would someone remind us what was happening before we were so rudely interrupted by the elections?

It is my great honour to have my poem Farmer in the Scriptorium here.
Consul Iunius Brutus enters the senate and sits in the curile chair;
"Esteemed Senators of the Republic;
As my first act in my second consulate,I want to thank all those that supported my candidacy; But I also want to thank my fellow senator Lepidus whom I respect deeply. You had a good try,Brother; Let not discontent for this election defeat be a cause for further strife though; Let us put the past were it belongs,in the past;
Now,I see that the Republic has entered a critical moment in its history;To the north there are still the gallic tribes,shamed from the defeats under Consuls Ancus and Malleolus; To the east there is the Antigonid empire,which recently attacked us. I see that the legions are tired from the constant fighting as are the people. We must strive for a decisive victory over both fronts as to finish once and for all these wars. Then we can hope to focus on plowing the fields rather than fighting on the streets of a city.
Finally I declare that on this term i shall make my best so that all sides are heard and all options carried out. Its the least an Optimate can do,seeing that we boast,not without good reason,that we want to preserve the Res Publica at all costs!
I shall now rest and tomorrow I will investigate the Republic and I will post a report on my findings;Until then senators,I wish all a good night.
ooc: why is this Consulate thread named Gracchus\Balbus instead of Brutus\Balbus?

ooc: you have two roman names and I don't even know the second (your AAR name). I just call you Gracchus.

I always forget Andronicus' AAR name but I think it is Libo?
It is, now back on topic - next week the elections will run from Thursday 6pm (GMT) until Friday (GMT), any objections?
