[SIZE=+1]Senator Lazaros Melissenos[/SIZE]

My friends, remember, it is called Senatus Populusque Romanum, our concern should not only apply to the empire but also to it's people. And neither I nor my house will send them en mass into a meat grinder, like some of you advocate! This is a stupid mistake that will hurt the Empire in the long run. If you will increase the size of the Army tenfold, you will need to decrease the workforce on other places likewise tenfold, this can not work to our advantage. Therefore the House of Melissenos can not support the amendments made by the most estimated but misguided Senator Domenico.

While I know that this is against the protocol, I would humbly request the most hornoured President of the Senate, that it would not hold against me, when I add some further words. It is my opinion that our hostilities and differences should stay on the senate floor, therefor I invite every one of you senators to a banquet in my city mansion. I would be hornoured by your appearance and hope to establish this as a regular feature at the end of our Sessions.

[SIZE=+1]Senator Anastasios Salamis:[/SIZE]

I'd like to adress honorable Senator Lazaros Melissenos. I am full of respect towards you, and thus hold no grudge against you if you disagree with me. I believe that the quantity reform is not simply sending more soldiers to the battlefield- I believe, at least hope, that it is a reform that means more efficiently recruiting soldiers- reducing the bureaucracy that slowers recruitment, for example. And I support such a reform in this time of war.

Senator Hadrianos Raoul

I see that the Senate is strongly divided, even amongst the Blues. I do not desire to strenghten these divisions ans I will thus abstain from both bills, which have both strong arguments.

Woo! Red Demes for lyfe!

Can we distribute titles now? I'd like to reward some loyal elements, to distinguish from those elements that are not. *looks at Wedrovander*

In addition, have the rules regarding in-character writing (stuff like letters) outside of Sessions been changed, or is that still restricted to sessions? I remember something was going to be changed regarding that. Also, Domenico has a new lease on life now, but when do you think rules regarding death will be established?



The Reds have lost battles (losing Wedrovander, my dignity, any chance of bad blood not happening), but won the war. But there's more wars to fight!

Let's go kick some Timurid ass!
 
Alright, first session over. This was fun. I love watching the bickering between the senators. The idea I voted for lost, but Quantity is still good. Admin will almost certainly come up next session.
