Your guards are nothing compared to my soldato, capo, and my associates combined. My family will prevail in this lawless city!

Nope.Avi
We, have a castle. Everybody knows that having a castle as your base quadruples your soldiers in numbers and their discipline *nods*

Seriously though,avoid attacking in the monarchists or in views of the guardists, and we must not be rivals.
Who knows, maybe the guard could even use a few auxiliaries someday.

Well, you have a castle. That's pretty strong point.
Fine, I'll refrain posting a criminal activity in front of your character and his guards.

It is the most logical and fair choice.

NAME OF CHARACTERS:
♦ Demos Terranova, Citizen/Criminal
Please select a name for your desired character(s) without forgetting a comma and their class

YOUR CHARACTER'S DESIRED JOBS:
Criminal What kind of criminal are you?: Mobster, The Don of Terranova Family
All Tell us a bit about yourselves ...[/b]
Demos was born as a sole kid of Victor Terranova, who leads the notorious mafia group "Victor Family" in a foreign City State. He was born as a small, fragile kid which make him look weak to other member. Doesn't want to let himself be doubted by the member, Demos compensate his weak body with a quick, smart thinking, great eye for business and probably the most important, sharp marksmanship. He even is already learning how to use guns (mostly pistol and rifle) when he was just 5 years old. His background and position is also gives him a great understanding of the Underworld since he was a little.

Although Demos is a "prince" in his father criminal organization, it doesn't mean he can be pampered with luxury all day. In fact, he always wants to join the action with some fellow made man. After turning 15 years old, he becomes more and more involved with their action. This somewhat makes him respected by most of the member. At this age, he becomes best friend with the kid of the accountant for their family. He has also become the youngest Capo in his family.

10 months ago, his father decided to spread their family wings to Corburn City. Demos see this as an opportunity to be released from his father's shadow. After persuading his father, he gathers his own family and moves to Corburn City. At first the crew is only having 10 members, but now there's at least 60 made man serving under his authorities here. He's planning to use Arms Smuggling, Extortion, and Money Laundering as a main racket for his family here, but Demos knows this wouldn't be too easy without some support from the government.

Actually, as neither prostitution nor money laundering have appeared in the criminal code, they currently both are legal (ok, the latter maybe not).

[Jamessonia]

Your post confused me, what did you do?

[Arkolon]

I'm working on a solution to the no police problem

Also how often do elections take place?

Every four years, so every eight weeks. Today Saturday Jan 4th is June (Year 1). In a week, it will be December (Year 1). The following Monday 13th will be January (Year 2), and two weeks after that it's January (Year 3) and finally two weeks after that on Monday 10th of February we will hold the first general election. Still not, even. But that's in ages. Let's make it three years, so six weeks instead of eight (so Feb 10 is the correct date).

And that's why I'm trying for monarch!
There's only one possible end to the term, and that end I can fight!

Your post confused me, what did you do?

Nothing. That's the point.
Nodding at the guards in a very suspicious way, letting them nod back, but nothing happen. That's the whole point of this operation.
Show that they're there, and yet that they don't do anything to anybody, not even on a major even of republicanism.

Procedural question for Ark, since it was mentioned in the Senate thread but I'm not 100% sure about it - do Senators vote on legislation that they propose?

I don't believe so. I think it's assumed they vote yes.

[Arkolon]

Procedural question for Ark, since it was mentioned in the Senate thread but I'm not 100% sure about it - do Senators vote on legislation that they propose?

If they propose it, I (although I believe it is Winovia's duty now) would count it as 40 votes in favour of the bill. Hence voting again would not count.
