Thank you for the welcome upon my triumphant return to the Senate, Autumnus Leavus! I assure you that while I have been preoccupied with matters away from the homeland, my heart surely lies loyal to the Roman Republic. I have noticed that while I have been away, my wealth has risen considerably, to my great delight. As a show of my loyalty, I will hire this Furio. Send him to me, and I shall compensate him handsomely! Nay, I shall further prove my loyalty by seeking him out myself.

I see that my esteemed colleague ImusTheusCrewus has been imprisoned, and currently awaits sentencing. Seeing as how he has little to say for himself, and in a further move to ensure that I receive the services of Mr. Furio, I shall position my vote as to remove him from our troubles.

VOTEUS KILLUS IMUSTHECREWUS

Thank you, SEnator Passacaglia. It seems the name I meant to use is:

Macro Gothicus, barbarian turned citizen for his service during wartime

We have reason to suspect he has been the murderer of one of our colleagues, a loyal member of the Senate. Perhaps with the right offer he will keep his sword sheathed today.

As for your council vote, as I have been away for much of this time, I will abstain from the vote. It seems like the issue is beyond doubt at this point, anyway.

Also, to clear the air, while I suppose it was possible to send one of my henchmen in to the city to purchase services, I did not concern myself with those matters. This will be my first attempt at purchasing services.

Wow, I sure know how to killus conversationus, eh?

Chirp. :)

I'm a little intimidated in the presence of such a wealthy and influential senator :o

Your wealth has been missed, Senator. Hopefully you can make up for it, we have lost too many good members.

Well, I can't believe I got through the whole thread in one sitting. I skimmed a LOT, for the sake of my sanity. Hopefully that won't set me too far behind, though. Interested in the deadline.

everybody's busy writing last minute pms to the gm

:(

throw kwhit off a cliff

:(?

Geez, you guys all have to wait until the last minute? Well, if you're furiously changing your orders that used to say throw Marcus Vaughanus in jail, that's cool. Otherwise -- just send it in earlier!!

Let's just hope the arrest orders are *different* today.

If they're not, nobody can blame me today. My 40 point font statement of who I was arresting should have cleared things up for tonight.

The results of today's lawsuits are (winner underlined):

Ardent sues Coffee Warlord
Ardent Enthusiast sues Kwhit for suing me yesterday
Narcizo sues LoneStarGirl
Narcizo sues DaddyTorgo
Pathus Twelvus sues Antus Meisterus
KAYUS WHITUS SUES Abeus Anxietus
CHIEFUS RUMUS SUES SALDANUS LATHUMUS
Abeus Anxietius sueth Schmidityus Schmidityus
Peregrineus sues Lonestarus Girlus
Schmidityus Schmidityus sues Abeus Anxietius
Dodgus Erickus sues Imus Thecrewus
Antus Meisterus sues Saldanus Lathumus
Antus Meisterus sues Schmidtyus Schmidtyus
Saldanus Lathumus sues Coffeus Yakus Warlordus
Coffeus Yakus countersues Saldanus Lathumus
HOOPUS GUYUS SUES BARKEEPUS VALERIUS FORTYNINEUS
HOOPUS GUYUS SUES DADDYUS TORGOUS
Abeus Anxitius sues Lonestarus Girlus
Abeus Anxitius sues Marcus Vaughnus
Coffeus Yakus wants more money, and thusly sues Dodgus Erchickus
Grammaticus Atticus sues Mustangus Sallas
Grammaticus Atticus sues Marcus Vaughnus

That's right. TAKE THAT KWHIT. ;)

Sorry, I was watching Survivor (and now I get to play Werewolf - what joy :p ). Yes I can confirm Macro Gothicus as the service that I won on Day 2.

Uh. I won.

you do realize you lost, right?

Then you should come play in my Star Trek game where two new players have already agreed to try it out! [/plug]

I do now, could have swore I saw the line under my name, probably just double vision from the CW win.

Hoops, btw, you missed that one.

I'll be updating them after this round and will be happy to answer individual questions about my interpretations. I think this information is best served being public, but as far as I recall not one person commented on pros/cons either time I asked about it today.

Sucks that that Marcus Vaughanus guy lost those lawsuits. They'll have to track him down if they want to get all his money! :)

Don't have the Day 4 stuff in there yet - I'm not THAT fast!

Any chances these suit records have to do with post count?

Thank you hoopsguy, I'm finding that info useful to have, and i'm just not up to tracking it myself. I'm glad you are, and publishing it.

I lost to KWhit hoops, to correct ya.

Also looks like I beat Schmidity. Twice.

Never mind. I didn't realize AE had so many posts in this thread.

CSI time. I'll check in during commercials.

Oh, realized those were old records, sorry hoopsie

See post #1432

not likely...my post count is pretty low, but i seem to win quite a bit...i have only lost to alant and kwhit, who seem to beat everyone.

Updated results, assuming I'm still alive, in about 20-30 minutes. It takes awhile to crunch these.

Sorry dude. I was bored at work the other day.

I got Bonus Oceanus. FWIW.

Not sure who I'll send the message to, or what it would be. Suggestions?

I guess I'll be getting another PM shortly.

Dang it. Poor Schmidty. :(

I fear someone is trying to try and make me look bad.

WOW. Don't tell me one again.

Barkeep?

The following Senators are now the Consuls of Rome:

Hoopus Guyus
Narcizus Lispus

The new Tribune of the Plebs is:
Antus Meisterus

The best lawyer in Rome is:
Ardentus Enthusiastus

And the second best lawyer in Rome is:
Neonus Chaosus

updated financial standings coming

well....that was possibly the most confusing game i have ever played...good luck Rome.

This is a bad joke, right? One again?

You didn't play Path's game, right? Just checking ...

ITC was loyal to the Senate, fellas. :(

So clearly we didn't lock up the 2nd killer - frustrating results.

WOW.

Barkeep?

You have got to be kidding me.

After all the shit he gave me last night when I tried my hardest to do the right thing?!?! And he doesn't get an arrest in?

Holy cow.

Ummmmm.....what just happened?

Well...... There is a possible explanation.

I guess there's little question left about barkeep.

It seems to be working :-(

I'd like to hear about who won services and how they used them, right away. We obviously lost hte killer, and we at least missed with the bodyguards.

Ironhead - did you have the sex slaves sent to you today? Or was that yesterday?

As suggested in the tread I bid on and won the services of Balbus Senna. I need a reality check here - I don't know if I am reading too much into the wording on his ability. I can use him to convince someone of the righteousness of my beliefs.

It is the word convince that kind of makes me pause. If both villagers and wolves have access to this service does that mean that whether people are good or bad they could still convince someone they are good? I know that might sound like I am a wolf and afraid to use it, but again - if I were a wolf I wouldn't even bring this up in the open.

Okay, can we arrest Barkeep today? Once maybe, in some kind of fluke, but twice, when he knew in advance who Kwhit was arresting, that's treason.

Persons selling their services in the Forum

Gallus Clarus, ex-legionnaire
Titus Ludius, ex-legionnaire
Durus Pimpus, dealer in sexual slaves
Animus Sentus, person rumored to be affiliated with the Priesthood
Furius Lucius, former warlord of Gaul, enslaved and now freed
Lexus Postus, owner of many horses
Blakus Fortunatus, owner of many horses
and of course,
Ardentus Enthusiastus
Neonus Chaosus

primer
Today you must vote on the guilt or innocence of Lonestarus Girlus. Today's deadline is 9am Saturday Morning, Eastern Time Zone.

Ok....the results just blew my mind. I don't know what to think anymore.

I will put out there that I did not win any service and so did not use one yesterday. I am hoping someone loyal was able to win and use something remotely useful. Because I think we are up s*** creek, to use an ancient Roman expression.

I repeat: Ironhead, when did you have the sex slaves sent to you?

Woah, woah - chill out there buddy. You posted the question right when I was posting. Antsy about something?

Dodgerchick won the services of the sex slaves on Day 2 and sent them to me on Day 3.

This is rediculous, we should not have one person again today.

Still hoping to hear about who I should send the message to. I really don't know who to ask or what.

It seems an outrageously stupid way for BArkeepus to act if he is a traitor. But unless the sex slaves can prevent an arrest, I don't know what else to think.

So, is the consensus that Barkeepus did not jail someon? I think both Consuls listed Loneus Starus Girlus. Khus Whitus, you said that you voted to jail her and I saw the giant case announcement.

Barkeepus, what is the word? Why did you not jail anyone?

I've got some insight into this, as I was visited by Balbus - Schmidty sent him to me. However, until he posted in the thread I had no idea that it was Schmidty who sent Balbus to me. And it sounded like Schmidty expected me to think that Balbus would clear Schmidty, not look at me which is what I figured was going on when I got the PM. So that was kind of weird from where I sat.

The sex slaves are role blockers, right?

Did anyone send the sex slaves to Barkeepus. Dodgerus Chickus didn't you say you had the sex slaves?

I'm not sure, AE. Given the spot you've been in, I'd want you to use it to make your loyalty obvious. My assumption has been that people have used it to forward hte PM with their role to people to prove thier role? Is that right? If so, perhaps you could do so to Kayus Whitus, who is the only one of us I think who has been supposedly scanned. I'm not sure what other use it has unless you have some info you dno't want to share publicly.

Remember that earlier Barkeep posted his list of candidates and at that time I specifically told him that Kwhit was already arresting Lonestargirl, and he responded. There's no way he didn't know that.

Wasn't being combative (although it probably did sound that way). Just wanted it to be seen. That's all.

How come when I complained about this, I was being paranoid and suspicious and now all of the sudden it becomes frickin clear. This one person vote has been bothering me for a while.

I'm very interested to hear who got the attorneys at this point.

Yep. That and my HUGE post about it.

I actually posted it twice. Once in normal size - the other a bit larger.

I assume Neon Chaos will also vouch for ITC.

Right, but after my post he claimed he had missed your incredibly large post.

I still think it would be a totally stupid move for a Tarq consul to make. That's why I'm pursuing the possibility that he was sex-slave-ified.

Yeah. I know. That worried me at the time.

Wait - wasn't that when Schmidty said he was an idiot for revealing something he shouldn't have? Are we sure Schmidty actually won the service? I am going to be gone for the next 50 - 60 minutes but I can check when I get back.

I completely agree and I think we should post fake votes for jailing. I proposed that in the tombstone game and it didn't fly there. I don't get it, why not vote and hold the Consuls accountable if they don't follow through?

I know Peregrine and I think Autumn also agree with this theory. Is anyone else willing to caste unofficial votes for jailing to give the consuls the will of the senate?

So Ironhead had the sex slaves sent to him on day 3? Meaning they were back in play today, right? So someone could have sent them to BK????

Can anyone vouch for them? Who won them yesterday?

Ok....I am really confused right now. What does the sex slaves do exactly? Does that mean you can' t post for a day or simply mean you can't use any action for a day?

If the sex slaves can stop a Consul from arresting someone then we are really screwed. I mean, I'm pretty sure there's no way we can win anyway, but that would really clinch it.

What do you mean by fake votes? How does that work?

He's saying that we should cast unofficial votes on who we want to arrest, then expect the consuls to arrest them. This would give us some control back, which we sorely need, as I feel the traitors are manipulating everything, and control at least a good few of the services and roles.
