{{Wait... a serpent? As in a feathered serpent? THE XENOI ARE IN THE HOLY CITY! Lock up your women and children! Stockpile your goods! Lock the doors! Hide your hearts! The End Times are upon us!}}

BTW is there anyone who reads this AAR and would like to join the Senate? I've been thinking about adding 2-4 more seats. If you do, please let me know here or via PM.

{{If there are any free seats for the senate left then I would also like to join in. I've been following this AAR almost since it began in CK and have been thinking of joining for a while now. I was making a character for this session but was too busy in real life. Now I feel kind of bad for missing all the glorious madness that took place this session.}}

{{ Great You will submit your characters after the next chapter is out but I would like you, @jakkoslovakk @Awesomematrix96 @Rascar Capac and @RedInc , to choose your House name and send it to me via e-mail. With this information I'll reserve 4 seats for you in the Senate. }}

{{What does it say about our Senators that we woul rather harm our mother church than the jews in the empire? }}

And that is not even considering the fact that the church event is worse ingame than expulsion of the Jews }}

{{The fact that it looks like neither will pass is what gets me. Czo told us that without the gold, bad things will happen, and yet we don't pass either. Perhaps Czo should use his Imperial Privilege to override one or both of the Senates choices}}

 

[ThetrueColt]

{{Or perhaps he should just enact the "carve flesh out of the dynatoi" decision, that was passed by all senators this session}}

 

[ParrotGuy]

{{Well, my Senator would NEVER harm the Jews, his tutor and fatherly figure was a Jew, so roleplay defeats gameplay in this case}}

What gets me is that the policy that was proposed by the last White Demes speaker and won the White Demes its current power last session (and will surely have an impact on the balance of power now) is only opposed by two White Demes senators, one of them the Demes speaker, the other the President of the Senate. Even the Blues vote in favour of Lex foveretur Production Commercia. Is this an anti-Serapis plot? Maybe the two major Houses of the White fear a Serapis return to power? Maybe they fear our Beer-Alliance with the Hohenzollerns? Or maybe it is the Dynatoi pulling their strings...

{{My thought was, that we can't enact to much policies since, you know, we still need Mana for other things. And the manpower is terribly needed if we do not disband armies.}}

{{Changing the National Focus is a 3 point swing anyways, and its not like we have a half dozen leaders draining our ADM power or something}}

{{The old policy will not be that useful since production is kind of plagued right now (...). And having adm focus just to spend the points on policies did not seem like a good ingame idea to me - we need the stability more. I for one am puzzled why the policy is passed by all of you guys }}

 

[Mach Twelve]

{{Well when the Black Plague and Bankruptcy modifiers are finished, taxes and production may become a good source of gold}}

{{ I remind everyone that today at 9:30 PM a special "meeting" for White Demes begins. @ThetrueColt, since you were elected as White Speaker please make sure that everyone knows about this

Tomorrow at c. 9:00 PM there will be a special "meeting" for all three Faction Speakers. }}

 

[KingJerkera]

{{because we needed the money to keep inflation down multiple sources will help to keep down inflation and provide money so why not? Also should'nt lex Colombo be dip mana?}}

 

[ThetrueColt]

{{Well, you heard the man. @McGrey @Serpent @Blogman66 should have read it by now. And I am sure @Enlil would never want to miss out on the fun

About the special faction speaker meeting: Does it mean Decius will attend it or will "Lazarus" represent the white demes? }}

 

[CzokletMuss]

{{ Decius - he was elected after all. }}

 

[Blogman66]
