Oh great, Hannibal Lectorism is contagious.

Remind me to not let Belissarios near you. Ever.
 
Yay my character was accepted ! For the first time the Raoul family will not affiliate with the Blues (you need some change from time to times, and I wanted to have a zaelous monk in charge for this Session :p )
 
Talk about the perfect time for the forum notifications to go bonkers on me. The new chapter is out and what a Halloween update it indeed is.

So now Leon survived another riot AND the december massacre? I'm just imagining him going out to check his mail while an imperial soldier and a peasant are stabbing each other to death on his front lawn, and not even noticing them anymore.

Decius would like to have a word with you, with Ouranos gone there is just the two of us left. We need to stick together :)

A white Raoul? Oh my...

--

I for one am glad that Larissa and Thessaly are still save (as in: Not overrun by peasants, not covered in severe heresy and not yet fallen to the Sky-worshippers/Soul-Eaters).

The Session starts today, correct?
 
Indeed, if my calculations are correct... in about five hours. Ish.

I may be wrong, time zones are a pain sometims.
 
Calculating my time zone is simple. Take the time Czoklet posts and just minus 1 hour.
 
So no faction meetings before the session? Then the divisions within the Demes may be greater than the differences between them. I don't really see the issue of trial versus synod be tied to any of the Demes' interests, except for the old stereotype that the Whites are reactionary and the Blues are liberal. There could be hardliners and softies in any of the Demes depending a lot on their own personal inclinations. For example it's likely the White Demes is against the gnostic heresy, but some may believe that they can be reasoned with and converted, while others may believe the angelodulists must be purged with fire and sword.
 
IMPORTANT

The Session opening will probably be delayed by 2 hours (that is it will start at 23:00 today) because I've just got back from the cemetary and I need more time to finish the Diarium and House pages, approve all new characters etc.

Well I live in the US, which is where things get complicated for me. I have to subtract down to GMT then subtract 5.

I believe this means it now starts at 5:00 pm EST, and if I am wrong please correct me. I am not missing this.

Eastern or Central Time Zone (remember Daylight Savings messes things up) I live in CST and the fun starts at 5 for me because we are 5 hours behind GMT and 6 hours behind stronk relevent Polan Tiem. But after next Sunday DST ends so I will be 7 hours behind Warsaw.
 
You can use one of the dozens of time zone converters (like this one).

Or simply join us in the great CET! It would make things so much easier. For us at least. ;)
 
Ugh... I just got back from vacation I might not be in this session yet lads I need some recovery. I'll try to throw something together but I have work, and homework to consider.

Edit: Just realized that the character I wanted to use after Nonamark is a wee bit too young to join in the senate yet so I may have to ask for a pardon of youth.

Edit 2: I changed my mind disregard the above

So 6:00 EDT. So two hours, ish.

Dalassenos kept his promise, now we'll have to see what will be the price for these changes.
8. A Senator has a right to appeal from ruling of the Tribunal to the Eparchos of Konstantinoupolis.
Doesn't it mean that the Senatorial Tribunal will be nearly worthless and you'll have to decide in the end ? I can see how it could be used if a player faces a kangaroo court but I hope the ones condemned won't always ask for this :p

Oops, I posted the wrong version - it should be:

(8) in Article 40 the following paragraphs are added:
7. The Tribunal may sentence a Senator to death in case of flagrant violation of the law.
8. A Senator has a right to appeal from ruling of the Tribunal to the Eparchos of Konstantinoupolis.
9. A Senator may be denied the right to appeal by the decision of the Praesidium.

Edit: fixed.

Edit2: The changes to the Rules will be made on the first page probably tomorrow, right now I'm finishing the opening of the Session. Also the House pages should be finished today - right now they won't be editable but I'll send an e-mail to every player so that you may edit your page.
