[@UltikanaRe] I think you misunderstand me, and should take a look at what ArenaSnow has written; I am not going to be controlling it to the point that I essentially run the Delian League/Athenian Empire, I'll be moulding it around what you and [@Louis Dabout] decide to do during the RP.

Also, are you [b]seriously[/b] stating that Athens, the home of democracy and democratic rule, had no political parties? That Perikles was unopposed in his choices, and that Thukydides himself was not actually exiled by political opinion?

I'm genuinely confused at the moment.


[@Sven the Silent] Fair enough, if you think you can handle it, well then I'll take your word for it, sir. :)

Please read that article that I provided. Yes, there was opposition, but it was never organized to any high degree. To compare them to our own political parties in the US (and UK) is misguided. There was never a formal organization dedicated to promoted a certain candidate.

Also, I see what you mean about controlling the assembly. I thought you were going to randomize a result whenever we want to do something.
