Desperate Measures

---

[SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetName], despite [SCOPE. sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] campaign, is still not a likely candidate to become the Consul of Rome. Having repeatedly failed to be elected in the past, there are worries about [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician') .GetHerHis] desperation, and [SCOPE.sCharacter('current_consul_candidate') .GetName] is particularly anxious. [SCOPE.sCharacter ('current_consul_candidate').GetSheHe] claims the spies and loyalists of the desperate senator are planning [SCOPE.sCharacter ('current_consul_candidate').GetHerHis] demise.

This is a chance for us to become popular among the followers of [SCOPE.sCharacter('current_consul_candidate').GetFirstName] by providing [SCOPE.sCharacter('current_consul_candidate').GetHerHim] with some bodyguards. Or perhaps it is better to just leave [SCOPE.sCharacter ('current_consul_candidate').GetHerHim] to [SCOPE.sCharacter ('current_consul_candidate').GetHerHis] fate?

Sinking Popularity

---

Despite [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] many attempts at swaying other senators [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetName] appears to be more unpopular than ever. After a particularly dire speech, which saw several senators falling asleep or disrespectfully vacating the premise, it is becoming clear that we may need to support the poor [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_politician').GetWomanMan] for the good of the republic.

Only the gods know what mountains [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician') .GetPraenomen] may be willing to move in order to secure a curule chair, though taking sides may make us unpopular in certain circles.

Loyalists in [SCOPE.sState('disloyal_state').GetShortName]

---

It seems [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetName] has become surprisingly popular in [SCOPE.sState('disloyal_state').GetShortName] while campaigning for the next election. The people have flocked to [SCOPE. sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] side in alarming numbers, demanding that [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetPraenomen] is made a Consul immediately. There are even rumors of partisan bloodshed in various cities across [SCOPE.sState('disloyal_state').GetShortName], with stories of fanatics assaulting or forcibly banishing dissenters in their neighborhoods. The slaves and lower echelons of society appear to make up the vast majority of [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] supports.

The [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetFamilyDisplayAdjective] loyalists must be quelled before they can gather support in other nearby provinces.

Successful Election

---

After a long and tiresome campaign, [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician') .GetName] has finally achieved [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician') .GetHerHis] goal, and became a Consul of Rome. [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_politician').GetSheHe] hosted a lavish celebration of [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] victory in [ROOT. GetCountry.GetCapital.GetName] at great personal expense, and although many senators despise [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHim], [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] fanatic followers seem to have been appeased and tensions have abated for the time being.

The Unsuccessful Election

---

When it became clear [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetName] would not carry enough votes to become Consul, seeing [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] ambitions dashed once again by jealous peers, [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetPraenomen] took matters into [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] own hands and called [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] partisans to start a brawl on the senate floor, injuring several elderly politicians.

After fleeing the scene, [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician') .GetPraenomen] promised to deliver justice upon all those who had blemished [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] reputation and denied [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_politician').GetHerHim] [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_politician').GetHerHis] rightful seat as Consul.

Now there is chaos in the streets as the [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_politician').GetFamilyDisplayAdjective] loyalists fight those loyal to [ROOT.GetCountry.GetName].

For now, [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_general').GetPraenomen] is only demanding that a triumph and other long warranted honors are bestowed upon [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_general').GetHerHim].

Flocking to the General

---

A great number of people have rallied around the infamous [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_general').GetName], but though it is mostly the dregs of society bolstering [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetHerHis] banners, two names have stuck out, [SCOPE.sCharacter('loyalist_1').GetName] and [SCOPE.sCharacter('loyalist_2').GetName].

It came as quite a shock to hear of two respected Roman politicians associating themselves with the warlord, and though they have ruined their reputations in the senate, they are more popular among the people than ever.

Even though they appear to have thrown their lots in with [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_general').GetFirstName], we may still have a chance at convincing them to be loyal to Rome first and foremost.

The Armies of [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetPraenomen]

---

The thronging banners of [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetName] are a constant worry among the senators of Rome, who talk fearfully of [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetHerHis] boundless popularity. [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetSheHe] continues to host great celebrations and unofficial triumphs at [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general') .GetHerHis] own expense, a draw that is hard for the twinkling eyes of the commoners to resist.

The Traitors in [SCOPE.sState('rebellious_state').GetShortName

---

Large groups of soldiers under the leadership of [SCOPE.sCharacter ('ambitious_general').GetName] have passed through the province of [SCOPE.sState('rebellious_state').GetShortName] lately, demanding loyalty to their warlord. Though some chose to oppose the general, most bent to the soldiers' will and have turned to [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general') .GetHerHis] side.

This is just the latest of the many issues caused by the rampant warlord, in an attempt to force our hand into giving [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general') .GetHerHim] what [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetSheHe] wants. The senators of Rome are furious at this unabashed treason, but [SCOPE .sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetPraenomen] does not seem to care about their speeches and demands.

[SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetName] has long been a torn in our side, but no longer. Now [SCOPE.sCharacter('ambitious_general').GetSheHe] has demanded the reins of Rome herself, asking to be made Dictator. As the many senators discuss our options furiously, an exasperated cloud of defeat lingers over the room.

Finally, [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRulerTitle] [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler .GetName] steps up to the podium, calming the senators with calls for silence. [ROOT.GetCountry.GetRuler.GetSheHe] takes a deep breath, and cries:
