Oh gosh I'm confused. I got back from vacation late last night and am only now visiting this forum.

What do I need to send and where do I need to send it? What are those changes I need to make? Do I need to correct my application and resend the whole thing?
 
Senator Pau de Mallorca
Senator Taurinus shall make a competent speaker for us. I must also echo his call for action against Pisa--as a restructuring of the Imperium's fist would be folly in our current state, and defunding the army an even greater misstep, we must move to absolve ourselves of the Blue's usury some other way. I see no better way than to attack the Pisans; the Pisans are much less of a match than the Aliae and their coffers are filled with blood money. Furthermore, conquest of the Pisan coastline would deny them not only ports to spread their heresy from, but would provide us a land bridge to Hispania Aragonensis.

Hispania must be reconquered.

{{ You are certainly still in. I saw your name in the list of senators. (Although having gone back to read it, it seems you have slipped through the cracks. Like Luxemburg at "The Treaty of West Phallia".) I am sure it was a mistake and It can and will be fixed before the whites are called. That being said, this meeting is of the red dems, so a white dem such as yourself, or even an unaffiliated dem like me, are not allowed to participate in these meetings. That is unless we are invited to join in by the dem leader.}}

{ Bubba is Blue, remember? He supports colonization because of his instinctive Mongol thirst for clay and he declined to join the Whites because some of them had "dark hearts" in his (slanted) eyes *cough* they are racists with hate towards fellow Christians that don't look like them *cough*. Namely, Bubba's beef with the Whites focuses on heresy. Bubba is extremely soft on heretics* and believes them to be true Christian brothers and sisters, and he supports their inclusion and protection within the Imperium. He defends* any Christian and any Christian convert** without fail. }

{ * = Bubba does defend Catholics, but he refuses to acknowledge the Bishop of Rome himself as Christian, considering him a liar at best and a False Prophet at worst. He considers the idea of putting the Church, which should naturally be decentralized and answerable to individual nations and peoples (the actual belief of RL Orthodoxy and many Protestants), under the total control of one man who claims to be God's Regent (despite God obviously favoring the Angeloi based on Rome's survival) is despicable. }

{ ** = Xenoi are never included and they cannot convert to the faith. Bubba, like all true Romans, agrees that the Xenoi are not human and thus should be dealt with by fire, not mercy. Jesus was merciful to humanity, but not to Satan, and the Aztecs are Satan's servants. However, Bubba is extremely unsettled and upset at the idea of punishing the unholy hybrid offspring of Xenoi and humans with death, because the idea of punishing children for the sins of their parents deeply bothers him After all, his dynasty's patriarch was a liar and a cheat who bowed to no god and believed nothing sincerely, converting twice to save his own rear. By the logic of punishing posterity for the sins of ancestors, the Azizid family is condemned. }

My dear Senators, I am deeply sorry to inform you of this but I must beg my departure as one of my retainers is slandering my name. I kept him on staff as a reward to his family's faithful service and he calls me a pagan! The audacity of this is astounding! I deeply apologize for this inconvenience and I shall see you all in the Senate.

Never fight a battle you cannot possibly win.

{{ I did not remember that Bubba was Blue. His religious fanaticism made me think he was white.}}
Do not confuse the most pious followers of Iesus Kristos with lowly descendants of horse-lords, my dear friend :)
(A religious man joining the Blues? I still don't get it :D)

{{That's the spirit! Not even a member of the Senate but already vigiliant :D

Red Demes - you have time untill 11:00 PM to conclude your debate (that is make your plans for the next Session and reach a consensus concerning Faction Leader).


BTW I think "Faction Speaker" may be a better title for this position - I shall include this in the revised rules.}]

Senator Aetius Scipion:

I think we can say that Senator Petrus Taurinus will be our Speaker during the next Senate session.

I also think that we can also reach an agreement on that improvement of economy will be our main point together with expansion in the West, Pisans preferably, if opportunity arise.


((To be honest, our speaker should be who summarize and give final speech, but I wanted to let clear that we have agreed on our next speaker before meeting ends))
 
Petrus Taurinus


I concur with what has been said before. As faction leader, I will fight for the Empire's economic well being and recovery so that we may wage war in the future to crush the Pisan menace once and for all, and looking out further, to the liberation of Hispania. Surely all senators, be they Reds or others, who have any sense and love of the Imperium will see the wisdom of our goals and support us in future sessions instead of the folly of wars and exploration that risks bankrupting the Imperium.

May the Reds continue to fight for the good of the Empire!
 
{{ @CzokletMuss:

Do the other Senators get to know the goals of the demes as well or do they just know who the faction speaker is?}}

{{ I don't think the Whites or Blues could hear all that. I mean there are no spies inside the Great palace ( or maybe there are ? :D ) and I don't think the news will be deemed important to be announced throughout the Queen of Cities. maybe some gossip for sure but no certainties I'd say }}
