I think it’s done for us, but i’ll vote against regardless.

1644

No.

Furthermore, I consider that the Eastern Grain Company must be destroyed.

1645

Join the club!

1646

Yeah, I haven’t been called yet, but The New Men vote No

1647

Ok, everybody can vote.

@scottagibson and @Kolbex have done so already. @Panzeh needs to votein bold to make things clear, and @CraigM is left.

1648

No.

1649

The plan for this year will involve ship building. Rome needs a fleet to be proud of!

1650

Sadly you can only afford 3 fleets.

1651

True, will have to do

1652

nope.

1653

@Juan_Raigada, that’s 32 ‘no’ votes. Over to you!

1654

We vote yes and spend 18 talents from Calpurnicus treasure to get 33 votes and pass the nomination

1655

Election fraud everywhere. Fake news and collusion.

1656

I’m not the one colluding!! Much to the contrary.

1657

“I don’t have any financial dealings with Carthage!”

1658

We have no dealings (financial or otherwise) with other Roman factions. We do believe the current conflict with Carthage can be resolved through economic action, yes. Certainly there’s no military action we can really muster to the effect.

I’m offering peace where others lead us to destruction.

1659

I think the floor is yours.

1660

First order of matters is making Junius Dictator, who chooses Calpurnius as Master of horse

1661

Then I would like to know who wants to be Censor.

Office will be given to first person to agree to no prosecutions against the Eastern Grain Company this turn.

No grudges.

1662

If you’re going to declare yourself king at the behest of your Carthaginian friends, get on with it.
