The Thermopolium! OOC Thread

[Pontifex Maximus]

I have a few questions.

- The economical rules state that upgrading a tier cost x amount. But what does upgrading a class cost ?

- There's no senatorial office income right ? I can't find it in the rules but perhaps this is still in the making so im asking.

1. Just move up the tiers, if there's no cost then there's no cost.

2. No office income

Hi guys, long time no see, this RP tickled my fancy as something a bit different. Nice to be back.
I don't have so much time these days so I am keeping my characters to a minimum, and quality over quantity.
Shame I just signed up as the senate vote is taking place, anyway an interesting time to join in.
SPQR!

You might want to strongly consider bringing your signup post into line with some of the others and actually registering a family instead of just one character. And please be aware that while an interest in the military aspects is ok, this is a game focused heavily around politics. In fact it's practically impossible to access the military side of things without taking part in politics.

Sorry for being a noob, Ponti.

[Pontifex Maximus]

mother goose is here for you

Dear mods, it was be nice if senate votes were open for 24 hours. That's the third vote that has whizzed on by before I even knew it existed.

[General Brewster]

It's tactically unwise for the Italian forces to split off.(I'm talking about the Italian under Gaius Papius Mutilus) Nor do I think a capable commander would do so in the face of a somewhat evenly matched enemy. (because of their knowledge of Roman formations.)
So I'd recommend to move back to the main bulk of Italian forces. Also the Italian legion Skylord is commanding is, as far as I understand also one of the legions he'll face right ?

I have no issue with politics, I just really don't have time to dedicate to fleshing out a whole clan. I prefer to let me secondary characters emerge of their own during my "creative writing", which is really my main interest in RP anyway as a way for me to keep my prose skills sharpened by unexpected characters and events such as other players. I am sure I will bring in more characters if and when I can, but as I say, I'd rather do quality over quantity.

Well that would take too long. We just vote quickly and move onto the next thing. Slowing it down would only slow the process and thus the progress of debates.

I mean if everyone, but 1 player, votes, no point in waiting. We just move onto the next motion/proposal.

Also note what Ponti said earlier:

You need to be a senator after all to vote and participate in the Curia.

[Hengest]

I've misunderstood then, I thought a character which is the head of a house can automatically be a senator?

[Pontifex Maximus]

That's not at all evident by your registration I think is the main problem. And we're not keeping any polls/votes open for longer than it takes to reach a simple majority unless someone is taking RP action related to the vote itself. I'm not waiting 24 hours for someone to cast a worthless vote.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Well the way you signed up your character, it seemed like you were rping someone purely in the military. Its like Ponti said, its alright to have a military history/interest, but you need to be involved in politics, and thus be a senator, in order to even take part in the military. I am not sure exactly what needs to be changed, but I am just taking what Ponti posted.

[Hengest]

Ok, I'm confused. Can I claim senatorship or is it awarded? If so, how do you get awarded it? I'm not sure I understand the honorum rules. I assumed my character fits into "Class C: Military service/tribunus militum (optional)"

[The Mad Skylord]

I meant all three legions moved up, Brew, because I'm the only Ally volunteer general.

[General Brewster]

Perhaps specify that better before your Italian char gets raped

[The Mad Skylord]

I said forces under him, he's the Consul so that would.mean all!

[Pontifex Maximus]

SKy since you're consul this year I don't think you should control movements for the Italians, and neither should I. I'd be more comfortable letting Rhapture control their movements. BUt you can still submit their battle orders against my character

[Lucius Malfoy]

I would agree. In the past, we have allowed neutral mods, like Rhapture and others, to perform military movements for the enemy.

[The Mad Skylord]

Coolio. As long as I get to have a go against you Ponti!

Everyone can start with one Senator who has completed the first Tier of the Honorum. He couldn't be 20 or something if he had, but you can still run for those offices again if you like or do the military service part too

"Consul Sulla, I congratulate you on the consulship. I had not expected to see you here. I'll wait outside if you wish so." Marius said with utmost respect.

The Sulla in the tent isn't the consul, but his son Sextus
