The ROMA Senate met on November 8th. While several Senators were absent during this session, it was otherwise well-attended. Prefect Torin Golding, giving his usual "State of the Sim" address, said that ROMA is finally starting to feel the bite of hard economic times. In addition to the somewhat bare Marketplace, for the first time in quite a while there are unrented plots in the Subura Sim.
The biggest shock of the session came after Princeps Maali Beck expressed concern about the low attendance of Senators. JT Vale made the radical suggestion that the current Senate be dissolved and a new one formed. After the Praetorian Guard calmed down and put aside their gladii, a wide-ranging discussion was had on ways to both clarify the Senate's role and also to enable broad citizen participation in ROMA's organizational life. After a discussion lasting over an hour and half, the Senate agreed to continue the discussion in the Curia message board. All citizens should visit http://romacitizens.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=curia&action=display&thread=267 to see current proposals, and to participate in the discussion themselves.
