Pre-KhaNESII: S.P.Q.R

[christos200]

Once the game starts, can you please make me Governor of Roman Gaul? And give me some Legions?

Read the rules dude

 

[Seon]

O stolide, quaeso, conclude

 

[talonschild]

We'll be glad to give you Governorships and Legions, christos... as long as you can convince us it's in our best interest.

 

[erez87]

So when is the NES going to start? I intend to nominate myself to censor

 

[talonschild]

Of course you do, though censors appear nowhere in the rules. Well, we've got twelve Senators at present, and two interested parties who said they'd get around to creating a character at some unspecified future date - Ekolite and thomas.berubeg (I would add, Ekolite, that your "later tonight" week ago! ).

GK said he was shooting for 15 to 20. As for me, personally, I figure we'll probably get a couple of people who sign up late, i.e. after a turn or two. So... soon. Unspecified, but soon.

And, Seon, Latin bonus points.

I want to try to kill more people in Gaul than RL Caesar. He killed 1 million and defeated 300 tribes. Can I kill more?

 

[talonschild]

Easy, boy, save it for the Senate floor. There's time enough yet.

I'm tempted to ask to play Vercingetorix just for the lulz.

 

[Nintz]

He killed 1 million and defeated 300 tribes. Can I kill more?

 

[erez87]

I do not see the need to look for blood, especially not Gaul blood. The Celts would do much better to become incorporated into the Empire and add to our growing need of manpower.

Talons I meant consul

 

[christos200]

But I am Caesar. I need to kill Gauls!!!

 

[Terrance888]

This is hilarious. RL Caesar kills whomever it bodes him well to kill. He killed Iberians, Illyrians, Gauls, Germans and Romans... if it is worth it.

I thought you can't get lower than a one dimensional character. I was wrong.

Christos, use some of your more interesting "political" ideas I've seen from you, and maybe then you'll get what you want.

 

[erez87]

But I am Caesar. I need to kill Gauls!!!

You are also sick with epilepsy. It's going to be fun using that to get you

 

[talonschild]

I'm with erez87 - live Gauls can afford higher tributes. If they get uppity, then sure, go to town. But remember this: The universe runs on enlightened self-interest. Don't kill stupidly.

 

[erez87]

I'm with erez87 - live Gauls can afford higher tributes.

That's why you will most likely vote for me as consul

 

[talonschild]

Or you for me, if and when that is more convenient

 

[erez87]

Or you for me, if and when that is more convenient

Of course. I'll repay my allies in the same way they act to me. Anyway, can't wait for this NES to start

 

[Seon]

Hic Caesar barbarorum jinsanior est...

 

[talonschild]

Indeed. Though an English translation would be good to include.

Google Translate failed to provide any sort of faithful translation of the above into Latin.

 

[erez87]

Not just good, but required if you want most people to understand.
