Gnaeus Salix Astur Quiritibus S.P.D.

Since we are now entering another election period, I would like to
make a call to all the citizens of Nova Roma: a call for votes.

Our young Res Publica needs a new praetorian pair; there is much to
do, much to build and to decide. We have already had several run off
elections for the praetorian office, and each consecutive election
has seen a reduction in the number of voters.

This reduction must stop. Please take the minor nuisance to cast a
vote. Nova Roma needs it.

If you do not know how to vote, please contact me at
salixastur@yahoo.es, and I will try to guide you through the voting
process.

Vote for whomever you want, but please vote. We all have a voice
here: let's use it.

It is indeed a weakness in our Republic that so few cives exercise
their right (nay, neglect their duty) to vote.

Even if you are not interested in politics, the jobs of the various
Magistrates are important and they can not do them unless they are
duly elected.

I add my voice to those asking ALL cives who care about Nova Roma to
VOTE!

My fellow candidate for Praetor is absolutely right. Nova Roma cannot
function if everyone does not do his or her part, and that includes
the obligation to vote. When voting starts at 18:01 Roman Time (12:01
PM EST), Saturday January 11, please take a few minutes to go to the
Cista and cast your vote for the candidate of your choice. Nova Roma
needs your vote, these Praetorian offices must be filled. Vote!

Salve Quirites!

I will look over these two proposals, as was said during their contio
there may be be some changes needed. I will come back to this later.
At the moment priority one is the get two Praetores elected.

What we need to get our Praetores to be elected is that:

ALL QUIRITES VOTE IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION!

To get this process done I decided to concentrate on that election as
that only neeeded a contio of 24 hours. The urgency in getting the
Praetores elected also made me decide to accept the price of having
the election periods of the Praetoes and the 8th Quaestor separated,
which will lead to a rather long election period during January.

My friend forgive me for not getting back to you
sooner ,but with the wife giving birth very soon I
just don't get many ops. to join in on the site.
First I must start by ask what price range are you
looking to stay in?

If you don't care about paying a little more than, the
best that I've seen is by Terry Nix, whom lives in
Texas "and yes I'm trying to get him to join NR" and
the armor is just WOW!! Here is the site
http://www.niximperial.com

However if you want the cheaps than try another good
guy in Texas that only sales on ebay It's cheap but it
does still look good. "just not Terry good" what you
want to do is just type in roman armor and this should
do it.If it doesn't work just let me know. See you can
buy from places like by the sword or swords and stuff
but the prices may be higher for the same as the ones
on ebay.I'm buying a helm from him right now so I'll
let you know how good it looks,but I'll give you some
others I've found on the net.

And if anyone want to know where to find something I'm
pretty.......sorry just wanted to say I'm
pretty...Just joking !!but really if you want it I'm
good at finding it.
Gaius here's the others...

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] A question on voting dates
From:	"Diana Moravia Aventina" <diana@pandora.be>
Date:	Fri, 10 Jan 2003 13:29:15 +0100

Salvete,

I have a question regarding the voting dates. It is halfway between a
religio question and a political one, so the Religio list is in cc. In light
of my recent ML posts :-p, for the record, I am not at all *criticizing* the
dates, I just have a practical question because I am in the process of
organizing the run-off election to fill the 2 Tribune seats.

The reason why I am asking is because being very concerned that our Gods
look on our elections favourably, I looked at the calendar for a long time
picking out dates for the next Tribune run-off election. I was under the
impression that the *entire* voting had to take place during dies comitialis
(Citizens may vote on political or criminal matters). And now I see that
this run-off election begins on a nefaustus publicus (Public religious
festivals are celebrated. No legal action or public voting may occur) and
has 2 more in between. And I think it was the same for the last run-off's in
December.

So it is a matter of even if the voting begins or is held during nefastus
publicus, it is fine as long as the auspices are good?

Again, I do not mean any insult to anyone, I am just trying to learn!

Valete!

Thank you for the support regarding my ideas to orientate new citizens.
Little by little I am putting it all together (basically as I put the info
together for myself!. When I am ready to really make it official, I will ask
permission and also for a few volunteers to make sure what I have written is
correct. I especially have problems with the Latin terms. I think that it is
pretty obvious that I am relatively helpless in this area, but I am strong
in organisation & administration, so we have to pool our talents :-)

Ideally, we'd like to do this, but it's difficult. Our voting periods
are much longer than those of our ancestors, and seeking to limit
the voting only to dies comitales would create a lot of delays. I
think that the Consuls wanted to avoid any further delay in filling
the vital office of Praetor, and therefore scheduled the election
as soon as possible.

Last year, I always sought out a voting period where at least half
the days were dies comitales. As long as the voting periods this
year contain such days, we can vote -- on those days -- with a
clear conscience.

Vale, Octavius.

Salvete,

In light of the poor turn out for the last run-off elections, might I
suggest that the candidates resend their declarations of candidacy to the
main list? We have a number of new citizens that were accepted in November &
December and it is entirely possible that they have not seen the
declarations when they originally posted in early November. I realize that
citizens can click the link and go to the page listing all of the
declarations, but this way, the declaration comes to the citizens instead of
the citizens needing to go to the declaration.

And maybe some of the people who supported these candidates during the first
2 elections could also jump in to voice their support once more? Maybe this
would generate some enthusiasm!

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] Reconciliation and Final Comments
From:	"M. Octavius Solaris" <scorpioinvictus@hotmail.com>
Date:	Wed, 8 Jan 2003 01:24:11 +0100

Salvete omnes Quirites,

I come home again, and I find, much to my pleasant surprise, that the discussion about SVR has taken a few positive turns and was more or less concluded peacefully. Most of what I still intended to say when I left here has now been said by others, so there is no use in repeating it. I'd like to thank M. Minucius Audens for his thoughtful comments and my propraetor, S. Apollonius Scipio, for his spirit of reconcilitation. Allow me to make a few last comments on the whole issue.

Diana Moravia scripsit: "I really think that it is very sweet that you [Scipio] have volunteered to arbitrate in this matter! Even though Solaris has publicly and directly verbally attacked me, I am certainly not even slightly angry. Even when I disagree with Solaris, I like him: a few emails wouldn't change that." -- If you swap names, you get what I have been thinking. A few e-mails from you didn't turn my soul into a fiery ball of hatred.

I must remark here, perhaps, that I don't possess the peaceful calm of Gnaeus Salix or Titus Labienus, Gaius Basilicatus' ability to shoot one-liners or Audens' ability to make coherent, comprehensive speeches. I am who I am, and in serious debates I can be hot-tempered. Unlike you I don't have Sicilian ancestors, but perhaps I can blame a barbarian (Franconian) ancestry ;). That said, apology accepted. I think from this point on we might settle our differences in private. Expect a mail from me later on the day :).

Quintus Fabius, Audens and others have referred to my former paterfamilias in Nova Roma and co-founder of SVR, Marcus Apollonius Formosanus. I have said this a few times to others in private but this time I'd like to make it a public statement; I think Formosanus (aka Silvanius in SVR) was a very intelligent, learned and educated man. But alas a streak of madness possessed his character. Although he would never lie or cheat a person, and we (his friends) agreed with most of his ideals, in the end he became an embarassment to our cause in Nova Roma and violently, suddenly turned on me in SVR because I did not agree with his ideas. The otherwise peaceful and empathic Silvanius called me, his former friend and ally, a "traitor". He, the self-proclaimed rationalist, proved to be our most irrational member and left our organisation at war with the world, but mostly, I fear, at war with himself. I hope I now made it clear to everyone here that I no longer have ties with Formosanus.

I'm pleased to see that Quintus Fabius calls me "our boy from Belgium". Appearently, having run out of arguments to oil his rhetorics machine, he resorts to feeble attempts at insulting me (not that he would *ever* do that, of course!). On a more positive and less sarcastic note, it's good to see that even in spite of his hatred of me and my friends, he too has taken a more moderate stance on the issue. And as for the proof of the supposed complot to "topple the state", the answer "it's on public record" won't do for two reasons. The first one being that I'd like to see hyperlinks or quotes (mentioning date and circumstances), and the second one being that even then, you probably find your "proof" in your interpretation of these e-mails. I'm quite certain that other intrepretations will vastly differ from yours (or mine, for that matter...).

By the way, double citizenship doesn't only exist in Europe. It has nothing to do with the size of countries over here, I believe. I know a person who is American ąnd Belgian, for instance, at my college. And even so, NR and SVR can't be compared as latter is a community, not a micronation...

Optime valete!

Salve Solaris,

Glad to see you back :-)

< I am who I am, and in serious debates I can be hot-tempered. Unlike you I
don't have Sicilian <ancestors, but perhaps I can blame a barbarian
(Franconian) ancestry ;). That said, apology <accepted. I think from this
point on we might settle our differences in private.

I am looking forward to the next time we meet, so that we can both trade
stories about the regretable manner in which we sometimes say things, when a
normally dormant gene, inherited from a warlike ancestor, temporarily takes
over our characters :-)

Vale & groetjes,
Diana Moravia Aventina

Thank you, Diana, for reminding me of our new citizens. For them, and
for those who do not know me, I will tell you all a little bit about
myself and about why I want to become a praetor.

My name is Gnaeus Salix Astur, and I live in Hispania. I have been
around here for hardly two years now, so I still remember how it is
to be new ;-). I like it here, even if it can get a little stressing
some times.

Last year I was elected tribunus plebis, and I had the privilege to
present to the People a law that established a judicial procedure for
Nova Roma. I did it following a request by a citizen of Italia called
Manius Constantinus Serapio (salve, Constantine!). It was approved by
the Comitia.

But after presenting that lex, I thought: "This is just a beginning.
There is still *much* to do to make Nova Roma a state under the Rule
of Law." And guess who are in charge of judicial duties here in Nova
Roma... Praetores, of course :-).

So I want to be elected praetor because I want to improve Nova Roma's
judicial system. Since we all love the Romans, and since the Romans
loved laws and courts... get the line? :-).

So I hope that you will consider voting for me in these elections. I
promise to do my best to implement a fair and reasonable judicial
system, a system of which we, as Romans, can be proud.

Salve,

My compliments on your efforts regarding the factiones websites. The Red,
Green, and White are fascinating. Try as I might, though, I was unable to
get into the Blue website. I kept getting an error message each time I
tried. If you are already aware of this, then just ignore this post.

Bravo!!

Interesting; I wonder if we couldn't devise a schema of naturalization
in Rome and overcome thereby the general indolence towards a first-hand
experience.

The pool of literate candidates, by consequence, would see a dramatic
upsurge.

All seem to work except FACTIO VENETA. There's doesn't even appear to be a /veneta directory.
Am I missing something in the search?

Subject:	[Nova-Roma] Cincinnatus Website
From:	"aerdensrw <aerdensrw@yahoo.com>" <aerdensrw@yahoo.com>
Date:	Fri, 10 Jan 2003 23:13:47 -0000

Agricola--I visited the guy's webpage. Interesting page on
Cincinnatus. Too bad he has such an uninformed opinion of the
Romannation. He seems to know very little at all about the Republic
and seems to think interms only of the more decadent eras of the
Empire.

I'd have had more respect for him if he'd used a better source than a
fairy-tale - like story by Sen. Byrd. The story in and of itself was
full of holes. Still, I do agree that Cincinnatus was an admirable
man, so at least this guy had that right. (g)
