I blame Conrad and his croneys that it has come to this. They started the violence, now the whole world will burn.
Eat the rich is starting to take on new meanings.

This stands against everything that Rome is noted for! You're not saving Rome, you're killing it!
Bah! It's the mob doing it. Blame Rodri.
The mob is not the ones who are enforcing their rule with military might.Quote:

The mob are the ones protesting against this coup.
The coup which claims to be a peaceful revolution against corruption, but acts more like a dictatorship bend on using the newly aquired power to fuel their war machine.
You flatter me kind sir but I cannot claim responsibility for anything that is happening (here or in real life). I am just one one of the great unwashed.Quote:

You know, the person that starts all wars is the defender, resisting. If they'd only hand over whatever was demanded, there'd be no war.
In this case, I'm sure the legions are only here to maintain order during the period of civil unrest.
The legions came before there was civil unrest; they are the cause. If there were no legions, or attempts to overthrow the current leader in the election (which is still going on), there would be no civil unrest.Quote:

In addition, I offer clemency to anyone who resists my claim to imperium over the Community.

A golden age for you perhaps, But as you can see, there is a significant amount of the "oppressed masses" rising against your "benevolent" imperium.Quote:

In trying to seize power by force, Conrad, you have turned the very people who you think support you against you.
Look! The masses don't support you.
Alea iacta est, sed tu iactem canis!
Oh, and Jurnis, simply put, sod off with the advanced Star Destroyers. Or I'll set this thing on you:

Lingua silentio ignarus stultus.
Calling me an idiot? That's not a good way to garner support, is it?
A canis, by the way, is the lowest throw on the dice (we call it snake-eyes).
As one possible meaning, yes.
Linguam sordidam habes! Tace!
Tu perfidus. Tu es vir ingenii pravi. Tu non fidemus.
(I think that's mostly right. I can't speak latin very well.)
Your attempts are petty, plebeian.
Move aside.
Never, tyrant! Such attempts to overthrow the state are treason!
That's right, traitor! You've committed the greatest crime against the state, and soon, oh, very, very soon, you'll pay for it.
Not even you pampered, perfumed patricians can escape the law! Or the Guard for that matter!
Who was that aimed at?
At Conrad, obviously. It was more in conjunction with your post.Quote:

My rapid marches and the scale of my conquests have awed the plebeians as they await my arrival. Prepare to flee in terror and dismay, oligarch. The Evony provinces of Gallia Comata, Gallia Narbonensis and Illyricum are loyal to me. I must warn you and your fellow oligarchs that though I am a benevolent and just ruler, my soldiers are rapacious. If you refuse to surrender peacefully I will no longer be able to restrain my soldiers who will never cease in their assaults but will relentlessly pursue those who resist my advance. Even now, your senatorial forces flee the capital of the Evony Community to the port-city of Brindisi. The gods are propitious to my cause, and the cause of the people. To the Capitol, my legions!
I am one individual. I did not run on a platform with anyone else. No one has any control over me. I rule alone and do not let anyone else share in the ruling. Yes, like a reasonable Monarch, I have a few advisors who simply advise. They do not rule in my place, I am not a puppet monarch. I wield a power that few can challenge or dispute. Does anyone doubt my ultimate power and influence?

For anyone that can understand that, I know it doesn't look right without the fadas. They just come up as question marks on these forums. :(
Also, for anyone that's thinking of using Google Translate, it's useless for Irish. It'll throw you out mildly related garbage.
While I initially voted for Conrad in the previous election, I don't think him launching another one in an attempt to seize 'power' after losing is a particularly noble thing to do.
Ah yes, but you know the Golden Rule:
"Him what has the gold, makes the rules."
Conrad is a master of doublespeak. So when he says glorious he means despicable and when he says free he means enslave and when he says liberate he actually means enslave. Once you get the hang of doublespeak, it's not so hard.
In fact it's + + good.
So says the Neo-Jacobin terrorist and anarchist who would cover the streets with the blood of the innocent. With his fanatical devotion to "liberty", the streets would become striated with blood.
As the Ancient Greeks maintained, there can be no freedom without law. Anarchy is merely a transitional phase and never permanent. It is marked by disorder, chaos and confusion.
Those who claim to be anarchists do not desire the absence of government nor do they desire anarchic freedom but merely a government that suits their own selfish needs and desires. Terror is the order of the day for anarchists.

Here is a fact. There are many more of us commoners than there are of your armed thugs. You may have the weapons but eventually you will exhaust them all and we will still keep coming after you.
Violence was never my choice but as I have said before, if you attack me I will defend myself. If you attack the rights of every man then you should not be suprised when they defend themselves as well.
The rights of man?Quote:

Nay, nay brother.
Those are not rights that should be allowed.
We must elect a government that will protect the proper rights.
A government must be concentrated into the form of one man.
And that is why I will follow Conrad.
To the right (or other directions).
