You Are The Senate

**dragoon47** · June 10, 2011, 05:22 PM

You Are The Senate is looking for volunteers willing to help us write a group AAR by role-playing as a Roman senator during the period starting in the Pyrrhic War. We will be using Europa Barbarorum for this purpose and we need volunteers, preferably those of which have a knowledge of Roman history, to get involved but usually our users pick up the necessary material from reading veterans' posts.

You Are The Senate or YATS as we call it is full of lawmaking, political intrigue, rivalries, betrayal and murder as each senator tries to make a difference and propel Rome to her finest glory or that of themselves in a Role-Play in the spirit of classic games such as Nobilis.

We need you in order to fill up the ranks of the senate so that there are discussions and posts going at all times. This means we accept people from across the world for this purpose as long as they can write English in a recognizable manner and with acceptable grammar and impeccable spelling.

Please sign up if you're interested, create a character, make new friends and most of all, debate. I can nearly promise that you will become a better debater and organizer after a few terms of YATS, and most of all, you'll have fun doing it.

For all who have no idea what YATS is or would like to know, visit this thread for an introduction via chronicles of past YATS sessions:

**dragoon47** · June 13, 2011, 09:26 PM

Updated with more current info.

**Boriak** · June 28, 2011, 07:35 AM

I would be willing to participate. Writing an AAR proved too demanding, but this I might do.

I will read up on the details but consider me joined.

Thank you for your patronage.

The census thread is more of a register then a place for you to be waited to be accepted. If you want to join you're guarenteed a place, then if you start spamming the forum or acting like a ****, then we consider kicking you out. Otherwise, you're good.

Term starts today for all interested after elections.

**Rinan** · August 01, 2011, 03:32 AM

I've had a short look through it but it all looks rather confusing... Maybe I'll follow a term and then see if I'm interested, I'll see. Anyway, I noticed you have a lot of places to come together and talk, the CVRIA, people's dormii (hope that's correct latin!) and the bathing house... But what about the public latrines? There was lots of politics being done there too! or rather, gossiping.

**dragoon47** · August 01, 2011, 04:16 AM

It's not, really. There's the Curia and people's houses as the main places for conversation and debate, then there's the provinces which are used sparingly for military campaigns and the Viae and Baths for pure role-play purposes so you can leave your house instead of being a hermit. Rostra is used for epic speeches.

You Are The Senate has been rebooted, this time starting shortly after the end of the Second Punic War. We are looking for new players and will be starting in a few days. Do not worry if you read this after the start, you can jump into YATS any time! A summary of past YATSs is available here. For details on how to join and creating your character please see the first post on this thread.
