[12:22] Zelda Walpole: Well
[12:23] Zelda Walpole: Patres conscripti, I can't really say how Roma is important for me. I arrived here when I was only a newbie and I loved Roma at first sight.
[12:23] Zelda Walpole: While I was visiting the sim needing an help I met Majormatt, who helped me in a very gentle way that I cannot forget it. Since that day I associated the image of Senators with the care of our sim.

[12:27] Maali Beck: yes, Torin?
[12:28] Torin Golding: Zelda, by joining the Senate, will you also be able to continue in your duties as Subura represenative? (This is allowed by the rules of the Assembly, you will just need to make it clear who you are voting as when votes are counted)
[12:28] Zelda Walpole: sure, I thought already about it
[12:28] Zelda Walpole: and I'm sure I can do both things
[12:28] Zelda Walpole: I love Subura
[12:28] Zelda Walpole: And I really would like to join the Senate too
[12:28] Torin Golding: Thank you. I have no further questions for Zelda.
[12:29] Zelda Walpole: Thanks you, Preafectus :)

[12:29] Maali Beck: :-)
[12:29] Maali Beck: very true
[12:30] Maali Beck: I have a question, Zelda
[12:30] Ulysse Alexandre: nothing to say, except that I am sure that Zelda will be a good senator ...

[12:30] Zelda Walpole: Please, Princeps
[12:30] Maali Beck: ty Ulysse
[12:30] Torin Golding applauds
[12:30] Zelda Walpole: Thank you Ulyxes
[12:30] Maali Beck: As is obvious, we have a very thin group of senators
[12:30] Torin Golding: yay new senators!
[12:30] Maali Beck: who can/are willing to consistently be here for the meetings
[12:30] Achille Back: ^^
[12:30] Maali Beck grins at T
[12:31] Maali Beck: With your responsibilities elsewhere
[12:31] Maali Beck: do you feel this will be a problem for you?
[12:31] Zelda Walpole: I don't think it would be a problem
[12:31] Zelda Walpole: 'cause I believe in collaborating between our groups
[12:32] Zelda Walpole: It's only that now curiate assembly and Senate meetings are the same thing
[12:32] Maali Beck: true
[12:32] Zelda Walpole: Yes
[12:33] Achille Back rises an hand
[12:33] Maali Beck: do you have any ideas
[12:33] Maali Beck: about how other groups will collaborate ?
[12:33] Zelda Walpole: Sure
[12:33] Zelda Walpole: for example we could "light up" Senate's history
[12:33] Zelda Walpole: collaborating with scholastica
[12:34] Zelda Walpole: or organizing more rite involging Senate
[12:34] Zelda Walpole: rites*
[12:34] Maali Beck nods
[12:34] Zelda Walpole: Or, with Subura, something regarding houses of senators
[12:34] Zelda Walpole: Every Senator here has a house inSubura
[12:35] Maali Beck: I see
[12:35] Maali Beck: well, most
[12:35] Maali Beck: :-)
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: Yes, most
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: Then
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: I love Senate's institutions
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: institution*
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: I studied it in Rl too
[12:35] Maali Beck nods
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: So, it would a special thing for me joining this group
[12:35] Zelda Walpole: :)
[12:36] Zelda Walpole: And obviously, I am always happy to help
[12:36] Maali Beck: I believe that is obvious, also, Zelda
[12:36] Zelda Walpole: :)
[12:36] Maali Beck: I have one more question, Zelda
[12:36] Zelda Walpole: Please Princeps
[12:37] Maali Beck: when our new curiate assembly allows this collaboration between groups better, she is intrested in joining the senate. Does she think she will make a better job as senator then as subura rapresentative?
[12:37] Zelda Walpole: I don't know, I think I can do a good job in both ways
[12:37] Maali Beck smiles
[12:37] Zelda Walpole: If I didn't think so I never asked to join Senate :)
[12:38] Maali Beck nods
[12:38] Maali Beck: any other questions for Zelda?
