The Senate is now in session

Post by AdmiralKanos »

The actual purpose of this forum will be revealed in due time as we sort out some of our ideas, but in the meantime, all Senators can use this forum as they wish. Senators should also be aware that they have the ability to edit their posts in all the main forums.

The Chancellor of course gets the pick of the hot babes. :P

Welcome one, welcome all. Once this is properly up and running I'll have the Rules in place. Until then sleep nervously in the knowledge that infringements to the rules will be enforced retroactively.

NOw, now. We have only so many Senators, so I think Individual detentions and executions shall be the order of the day. Let the paranioa and fear blossom and ferment like fine wines before we knock on their doors at midnight. :twisted:

I will have to work on some legeslation, concerning the creation of an courtesan/personal guard. Comprised of women and a handful of men for those who wish such a service. We'll drape them in rich crimson velvet and raise them to be fanatically loyal to the Senate. :twisted:
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Nope I have a super-poker. It fires Red-hot Pokers out to a distance of 6 planetary Diameters with devastating consequences, and can achieve pinpoint precision.
