Item XIV This item serves as an option to the Senatores to write in any existing Governor by name for proroguement who either:

A majority of Senate votes stating a desire that a particular governor be prorogued via write-in shall be considered official Senate sanction for him/her to be considered prorogued.

[Note of Tribunus Plebis: three former propraetores in particular were considered for write-in by some of the Senatores. Those Senatores who wrote in one of the names are indicated below.]

For Quintus Fabius Maximus as proconsul in California

Additional comments: although the question was only whether to write in a name or not, some Senatores elected to voice their opposition to Proconsul Q. Fabius Maximus being prorogued. Other Senatores chose to voice their support.

SAS: Abstineo FAC: ANTIQVO California need a new active governor ECF: Antiquo. CCS: ANTIQUO CFBQ: ANTIQUO. QFM: Roman tradition allows me to vote for myself. I am dismayed at the people who wrote in my name in order to be sure that they could vote â?onoâ? against me. I have never seen such vindictiveness in my life. I only once voted no on a prorogument, and that was because the person had made damaging remarks about Nova Roma in public while holding the Praetorship. When it comes to running the Republic, I put my personal animosities aside. Apparently these individuals are unable to do so. And that is unfortunate. LMS: As far as I know, there is a Consular Edictvm saying the deadline is February 15th. Therefore, any comunication done after that date is out of the law. Due to this argument, both Fabia Livia and Fabius Maximus wouldn't be prorogued. But there is a difference between them two. Fabia Livia has sent messages with great concern and respect and as far as I know she is doing a good job in Britannia. On the other hand, I don't see the same concern and respect for the Senators and Cives from Fabius Maximus. Being a Propraetor means to respect both the power who appoints you (Senate) and the cives you are going to manage. And that gravitas is something I don't find in Fabius Maximus, but in Fabia Livia. TOPA: ANTIQUO ATC: There has been some statements made questioning the worthiness of this honorable gentleman for this position. However, having learned a bit over the years about his life and responsibilities in the Macro World as well as his responsiblities in Nova Roma, I respect him, and will support him.

Additional comments

GEM: Also, due to the lateness of candidates for Mediatlantica writing to the senate, I hereby write myself in to be prorogued until such time as a new propraetor shall be appointed, so that Mediatlantica is not left without a governor. DIPI: I understand he wants to step down but agree to this temporary measure he suggested until candidates to replace him are lined up.

Additional comments:

PMS: This Senatrix writes in Propraetrix Gaia Livia for Proroguement. She has made recent contact with the Consuls, and indicated that she thought she had taken care of this matter already, via note requesting to continue as Propraetrix Britannia prior to the Edictum deadline of Feb. 15. Given her excellent record to date as Governor, and her dedication in the past as Curule Aedile, Quaestor and Accensa Consulare, I am quite comfortable affording her the opportunity to continue in her capacity as Propraetrix. GL: I would like to write in myself for this item; I do not have personal knowledge of the situations of the other governors on the list. I did submit my request to be prorogued, but unfortunately I was late in this - <snipped> I have had only limited internet access, but will be moving house in April and will be better able to keep up from then. GSA: I will add Gaia Fabia Livia as Propraetrix Britanniae. I hope she will soon be able to regain her previous level of activity.
