Salve,

I come before you today to make Cincinnatus a very happy man.

I hereby resign my citizenship and all the duties and offices I hold in Nova
Roma. I hereby turn moderation of this List over to Pompeia Cornelia Strabo
until such time as an election can be held to find a new person willing to
suffer the abuse the office of Curatrix Sermonis offers.

After seeing the extremes that have been gone to in preventing my membership
in the Senate based on the petty need for vengeance from a few, and
witnessing the lengths some will go to in their quest to cover their
backsides from public scrutiny, I no longer have any faith that Nova Roma
works. When the lunatics run the asylum it is time to go home.

Mind you, this is no case of "I didn't get what I wanted so I'll go off and
pout now". Anyone who knows me even casually knows this is about as far
from my nature as you can get. I have been a Nova Roman since the days when
Nova Roma was little more than a dream that my husband and his good friend
had. I have been here from day one and have stood by this Nation through
the tremendous growth and joy of building, and have even stuck it out
through attempted insurrections and the attacks of those who wanted to see
us fall. I have always acted as I felt was of best benefit to the Nation,
and whether you may personally have agreed with my every decision or not, I
trust that my hard work and dedication have been evident throughout. It was,
apparently, evident to the entire Senate when they overwhelming voted *for*
me in the January Senatus Consultum that also nominated and approved Caeso
Fabius for a position in the Senate.

It has never been in my nature to run away in the face of adversity. There
has never been a debate, threat or complication for our nation that I have
ever ducked out of or failed to do my best to resolve in whatever way I
could. And for my trouble? I am expected to accept that the entire will of
the Senate can be trumped by those who happen not to like my husband? I
don't think so. Character counts, and there comes a time when even those of
us with the best of hopes and the most sincere of love for this nation must
admit that we, too, can be pushed too far.

By ignoring the Senatus Consultum, by quickly trumping up a "new" vote with
a bizarre "3 person limit" <this, despite their contrary admission that the
Senate is in dire *need* of active and dedicated Senators>, by using every
bit of the "power" they possess..........their message has gotten through:
Hard work means nothing in Nova Roma. Dedication means nothing. The will
of the Senate and/or the people means nothing. For, in the end, all that
matters is who happens to "like" you on any given day. If you happen *not*
to be "liked" by "those who matter", then be prepared to be ill-treated and
embarrassed. Why? Because they *can*.

For all I know I may be the very first person Cincinnatus has ever pushed
out of Nova Roma. My congratulations to him on the "victory". I had wished
to wait until the Ides of March to take this action, as that day is rapidly
becoming an annual exiting event for those of us too sick of the poltical
games of a very few to stay, however Yahoo had other ideas and will be down
from the 15th through 18th. So be it. I wanted no grand walk-out and I
call on no one else to join my departure. I merely leave you as one more of
a long line of disheartened and disgusted former Nova Romans.

Goodbye.

Subject:	[novaroma] Proposed Amendment
From:	Marcus Octavius Germanicus <haase@konoko.net>
Date:	Tue, 12 Mar 2002 20:51:28 -0600 (CST)

Omnibus Civibus Novae Romae M. Octavius Germanicus Consul SPD,

I present, for your consideration, an amendment to the Constitution
that will reduce the number of Centuries.

Last December, we had some difficulty electing senior magistrates. Our
voting system works well only if there is a large voter turnout, and
multiple votes in each century.

In the recent election, one Censor and two Consuls were elected during
the first round. We were able to accomplish this only because there was
a relatively small number of candidates for those offices, thus the vote
was not split to such an extent that none were able to gain a majority.

However, the race for Praetor was different; in the first round, none of
the three candidates had a majority, although one had nearly enough.
A "run-off" election was needed, and in it, Pompeia Cornelia widened
her lead enough to be elected; but neither of the other two candidates,
T. Labienus or Q. Fabius, achieved a majority. Thus, a third election
had to be called, and only now that the number of candidates had been
reduced were we guaranteed that one would have a majority.

These repeated elections were the cause of much extra work for the
Rogators, and caused our Junior Praetor to lose one month from his
term of office, as we spent January trying to choose that Praetor.

What if there had been four or more candidates for Consul? We might
have begun the year with no Consuls at all. This can still happen
next year unless the voting system is further refined.

At the end of this month, when the deadline for payment arrives,
citizens will be divided into "assidui" and "capiti censi", depending
on whether each has paid the required amount. With all of the
capiti censi grouped into one century, the remaining citizens will
be spread thinly across all the other centuries, and achieving a
majority in multi-candidate elections (which is only likely if there
are multiple votes per century) becomes even less likely.

Thus, I propose to reduce the number of centuries.

The Constitution fixes this number at 193, which was the number of
centuries in existence during the late Republic. I propose to
remove the requirement that there be 193, instead making the total
number of centuries dependent upon the population of assidui.
(The exact formula won't be specified in the Constitution, but rather
in another law that we also be presented to you this month).

The Senate saw this proposal in January, and were asked to determine
whether it should be presented to the People. The majority of the
Senate voted "YES", and therefore I now ask you to consider it. If
this passes, it must be ratified by a 2/3rds majority of the Senate;
I believe that this will happen, for 2/3rds already voted in favor
of it when making the preliminary recommendation.

Here, then, is the proposed amendment:

Paragraph II.E.2 of the Constitution is hereby amended to read as follows:

] 2. There shall exist a number of centuries, said number to be set by law
] enacted by the Comitia Centuriata and not to exceed one hundred ninety three,
] into which the censors shall divide all of the citizens. Until such
] a law is passed, the number of centuries shall be one hundred ninety three.
] The exact composition of these centuries shall be determined by law passed
] by the comitia centuriata, but shall be weighted in favor of
] those citizens who have shown the greatest commitment to Nova Roma.

The existing text that would be replaced is this:

2.There shall exist one hundred and ninety-three centuries,
into which the censors shall divide all of the citizens. The exact
composition of these centuries shall be determined by law passed
by the comitia centuriata, but shall be weighted in favor of
those citizens who have shown the greatest commitment to Nova Roma.

Valete, Octavius.

From:	Amulius Claudius Petrus <pkkt@bconnex.net>

Salvete cives et amici,

For me to better serve the republic as Curule Aedile I have decided that my
staff is in need of one or two new members.

I am very interested in any citizens that are experienced in latin and
familiar with the history of different ludi celebrations in ancient Rome. I
am also looking for a citizen who is involved in the religio and has the
resources and the knowledge necessary to help recreate the religious
significance of the ludi celebrations within Nova Roma.

This job will not be very demanding and should not require much of your
time. As a Scriba Aedilis your main tasks will be gathering detailed
historical information on Roman customs during ludi celebrations. You will
also be involved in the planning of ludi celebrations here in Nova Roman
along with the rest of my staff. This is a great place to start in a Nova
Roma political career and will give those who are selected experience in
both Nova Roma politics and in the organising of nationwide cultural events.

If I have sparked your interest please feel free to email me at
pkkt@bconnex.net for we can discuss this subject further.

Valete,

I am very troubled to read this. I have always been quite impressed by the
dedication shown by you, especially seeing you held the hardest position
here in Nova Roma. You had a very hard and at times controversial job and
you performed it excellently and were a example of keeping a calm head in
times of when many of us could not. We have lost much today, and I can only
hope that one day we will be fortunate enough to have you return.

Priscilla, I will say that I am surprised that you were not accepted into
the senate, seeing the role you played in the development of this nation. If
I was a senator I would gladly and enthusiastically vote for your approval.
I do however not know the agenda of the senate in detail, and I believe I am
not in a place to judge it. Although, I know that there are many great Nova
Romans in that assembly that I highly respect. I hope you can continue to
see the good in the senate and one day move forward once again towards the
goal of being a member. You would be an excellent addition to it¹s ranks
indeed.

Valete,

Salvete,

I think the proposal that Marcus Octavius Germanicus has made and
that the Senate has agreed be presented, is a good one.
I know some will think that republican Rome had 193 centuries and
therefore so should NR. However, let's remember that Rome *evolved*
193 centuries. It had a sizable enough population to make a large
number of centuries worthwhile. If I am remebering correctly, in the
recent elections some centuries had 1 or 2 member cast votes.
Nova Roma can certainly have 193 centuries---if and when the
population size and activity makes this practible. But until that
time, let's go with this proposal, and make the system more efficient
for our needs. It is a practical solution, and the Romans were
certainly a practical people.

Salvete Omnes:

I have just finished working 12 hours at the hospital, and I approach
this forum only to read some distressing news....the resignation of
Priscilla Vedia.

Needless to say, I shall be talking further with her regarding this,
and I hope that she will reconsider. She has many friends who care
for her, and this friendship doesn't depend on whether she is a
Curatrix Sermonis, Senator, or any other position in Nova Roma.

Unfortunately, Pompeia, for the next couple of days will not be in a
position to pamper the populace in the quickness with which Priscilla
has approved pending messages, answered queries, etc. :) I am
sleeping until later today, and I have to work tonight again.

Sooooooo.......

Please be patient with me for the next, one or two......Kay???? I'll
be moderating, but at a slower pace while I work.



And to be honest, the first order of business is probably to write to
Priscilla and see if I can ameliorate things a bit.

Valete,
Pompeia Cornelia

Subject:	[novaroma] Resignation

Actually I'm not writing to announce any resignations.
Well I take that back. The former Curator Differium
has failed to pass on all essential information to me
as of yet, and if they do not do so soon, I will be
forced to resign from that position for lack of
ability to perform the duties.

I was told I once that I would make a good senator. I
just quietly chuckled to myself. To be honest, I will
probably never seek anything higher than the office of
Provincial Propraetor. It is in this role that I can
truly become emersed in our society. I personally
feel right now that our Senate is lacking, and my
faith in their abilities is waivering. Oh Caesar,
where art thou when we need you most?

I believe that if you are going to hold an office of
importance, you should be an active participant.

I do not care why Priscilla Serena was overlooked for
acceptance into the Senate. From what I have seen,
minus a few Senators, it could use an overhaul itself.


>From what I have seen in my tenure as a citizen, the
most abundant product produced in Nova Roma is whine.
Someone posts something about religion to the Religio
list and they go ballistic on him/her. People who do
more work than they should have to get overlooked by
someone who is better liked. And then of course we
have silly little debates over silly little issues
like buying an island? How many citizens actually
come together in groups to do things Romanesque? How
many of my fellow Propraetors have taken the time to
contact the citizens of their provincia, just to say
hello?

I hope you will show you are the better person
Priscilla and stay to help out this waining republic
in some other fashion. To lose a citizen of your
calibre is a trajedy, and you will not easily be replaced.
