Active Legislation / MOTION: Patricianship Bill PASSED 7-1-0
« on: September 07, 2013, 03:16:11 PM »
This from the discussion here:
https://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2602.0
Simple majority, one week.
This plaza moves the following:
1.
a) This bill exists to:
b) Formalise existing practice regarding administrators gaining automatic patricianship
c) Clarify terminology and when this can be used
d) For the purposes of this bill, "Patrikios" and the term "Patrician" used in older bills and the constitution, should be considered wholly interchangeable
2.
a) All administrators, on attaining the rank of administrator, whether by ratification or contested election, shall automatically gain the rank of Patrikios of the site.
b) They shall retain this title on leaving their post and it may only be removed by a counteracting vote by the citizens.
c) The rank of Patrikios is understood to be only and always a gift of the citizens; it is attached to their election or ratification.
3.
a) Clause 1d above should by this bill be considered to apply generally in terminology of all other bills, so that Patrician is understood to be the same as Patrikios and vice versa.
b) Future bills that affect the rank should use the term Patrikios, as the current actual rank name.

That's true, I'm not sure we ever learned about it at all; we did an overview of the laws on assault, GBH, etc, if I recall, but rape just wasn't brought up. Which is really pretty concerning.

These figures are really quite worrying, the more specific sub-headings far more so (to me) than the headline given that it shows specifically how unaware some people are of what circumstances class as rape (aka ALL non-consensual sex).
Quote
A third of women believe there are varying degrees of rape, according to new figures.
The same proportion also think if a woman does not fight back, then she cannot have experienced rape.
...
A quarter of the 1,000 women surveyed wrongly thought if someone was drunk it could not be classed as rape, while 60% thought it did not count if a woman does not say no.

Also, you have two random WHTW references in your DMB file which make the game crash for those two units.

I like them as Punic.
I think the fire siphon is overpowered, a whole Roman Legion failed to even reach my battle line. Maybe restrict the range more, up the fire rate and down-power the attack?

Warhammer; Total War / Playtesting signups and release timetable
« on: September 05, 2013, 04:09:42 PM »
Okay, there is now a rough timetable for the full release.
From NOW until next TUESDAY I will be giving people who sign up here testing copies.
From the 11th to the 18th I'm out of the country and playtesters will be able to spend that time filing bug reports or balance issues
On the 19th I'll blitz fixing balance issues, with full release being the 20th or 21st probably.
SIGN UP HERE and the first few people and/or people who can persuade me they'd be most useful will get a playtesting copy. I'm not planning to give out more than about five or six, maybe ten at maximum, so do hurry!

I'm going to Paphos, in Cyprus.
UNESCO World heritage area that was inhabited by Greeks, Ptolemaics, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, Ottomans, the lot, should be exciting.

It would depend what it replaced - I think it's actually Carthaginian culture, replacing Numidia.
