The Treachery of RomeRome has been for centuries a superpower to be reckoned with and demands the respect of the world. The northern boarders of the Roman Empire, sits Gaul, a barbarian nation intent on destroying all things Roman. Brennus, a fierce warrior intent on destroying the Roman Republic, has sent his spies long ago to infiltrate and corrupt the government, hoping to achieve political control over the senate and bringing the empire crashing down. Sitting across the Mediterranean Sea, sits Carthage, the long hated rival of the Roman Empire. Hannibal Barca, a military leader and genius, keen to the Gauls plans of taking over Rome, has trained and sent one single spy to infiltrate Rome to rid of the Gauls and to be claimed Emperor Augustus as his own. Those spies along with normal Senate members have risen to power and now decide the facete of Rome. The Roman senate members must rid of the traitors before the fall of Rome, the only problem is…..who is traitor and who is a loyal member of the Republic.
===============================================
Rules:
This game will be played differently then the others who are currently running (Pokemon, Mafia). This will be Role-Playing to an extent, so if your hate Role-playing, then this may not be for you. The game has three teams: Gaul, Rome and Carthage. Carthage only consists of one man, but with great power. Gaul will consist of a group of men, vying for Rome. Senate will consist of everyone. Both Gaul and Carthage will look identical to the rest of the Roman Senate. Every day, the Senate will make a vote on who execute as a “traitor to the Republic of Romeâ€. Along with the Senate’s vote, every night the Gaul’s will murder a Roman Senate member. Every other day, the Senate will make a vote on who to grant the title of “Emperor Augustusâ€. Emperor Augustus rules Rome for his term of office (technically two days), with the title comes great power and responsibility.
-All votes must be in before 10pm EST, this goes for all Senate members as well as Gaul and Carthage.
-An inactive players will be dealt with swiftly, if the role is a special one, a hidden pm will be sent to one of the normal senate members to have them adjust accordingly
-When an Emperor is voted into office, this happens
*BEFORE* any executions, murders etc. happen, thus Emperor will be immune to said attack.
Voting will goes as follows, must be used with proper coloration:
I !vote _______ for execution.
This is the proper way to vote for someone to be executed. If you wish to retract your vote, this is the proper way:
I !retract my vote for ________ .
This is the proper way to vote for someone to be the Emperor Augustus:
I !vote for _______ for Emperor!

Valcun Caeorus. "The Emperor is a pirate, an affront to everything we Patricians have struggled so valiantly for. -Valcun Caeorus" A long standing Republican, Valcun often speaks fondly of the days when the Senate alone ruled the people. How could one man possibly rule such a vast and diverse realm, know the intricacies of each region he'd argue. Foolishness, balderdash. His entire life has been spent enriching the glory of the Rome and until his death, Caeorus porclaims to continue his occupation as an exalted senator even under the shadow of Caeser.
Despite his heavy consumption of boar and alcohol, Valcun has a rather gaunt appearance, especially in the face. Many attribute his physique to sickness or a curse from the gods, but clearly he is far from a healthy, robust figure. Being nearly fourty, ashen grey has permeated his hair which he wears shortly cut. His dry voice can be heard calling for war against the enemies of Rome within the Senate chamber, which happens often.
That looks quite good. Definately going to be needing more people, if the game is going to continue forth.
Lucius Victorius Metellus. "The Senate is the Head of Rome, with The Emperor it's Heart, and I am it's SWORD! -Lucius Victorius Metellus" The Son of one of Romes greatest generals and Nephew to one of its greatest Strategist. Born and raised to be a great soldier, he quickly rose through the ranks. He soon came into the nickname of the Light harvester, because of the way he would cut through enemy lines and it was said his gaze would steal the light of battle from his enemies' hearts. After the Death of his uncle, he was asked to take his seat in the Senate.
A strong and sturdy young man barely half why through his life, with long brown hair and dark piercing eyes. Many a Senator and other powerful Dignitaries has ask him to wed his daughter, with each request he has replied "Only a woman who can take my heart can have it." He looks unlike most Roman citizens, he carries many scars openly and trophies of those he met in battle and Respectfully defeated. One Scare on his right arm was from his "Greatest Opponent". Who savagely wounded him after he witnessed the death of his leader at Lucius's hand.
In his short time of being in the Senate He has asked for the strengthening of the Legions and borders and to take the Barbarian and Carthage threats seriously. He stands equally behind the Senate and Emperor.
Being a soldier he does what is expected of him and follows his orders. In the many battles in his life he has grown found of his men, most of who are average citizens, who he constantly fights for in the senate.
"Fools, the entire lot of them, following after that brute, lapping at his words like hungry dogs! Every one of them corrupted by the desire to become the next Caeser as the Empire suffers for all their ambition. Together with your help, we will forge a new Republic from the ashes of this fetid swamp." -Valcun Caeorus to Kaeorik the Warlord.
It would be all too obvious if the description was written for the role and the ensuing metagaming that would result.

When not attending the senate, eating, or whoring, Gaius II spends time in private painting. His art is terrible, but that doesn't stop him from forcing his household and "friends" to attend impromptu art exhibits.
