[X] Provide more land to Harpos so that he may build his fortress. He has proven himself a good and loyal subject, and if we do not reward good and loyal subjects, what kind of masters are we? A dog who is beaten when he is good and given treats when he is bad is not useful to anyone. But a good sheepdog should continue to herd sheep, and it is moot that Harpos provide us a token of his respect from the flocks he will raise on the new land, as his overlords.

In honor of Apollo we should have athletic games and martial sport. The hoplitodromos is a good sport for our city and we should esteem it above all others so that we might be ever-prepared to face the foe in full panoply and array. But we should not neglect the honorable pankration and the sprint and the distance run, as well as the javelin-toss and the discus throw beloved of Apollo. But as Apollo is a god of music and civilization we should also honor him with the provision of hymns and a competition of lyre-players, and we should establish a run of plays at the theater with a noble and significant prize beyond the esteem of the city. A panel of composed of priests and the most esteemed men of the city might judge the plays and establish conditions for them, as the plays should be focused on honoring the gods and our ancestors and not on unseemly personal ambitions.

In honor of Artemis we might establish a sacred hunt in the nighttime for our youths, to run free and wild in display of their skills of tracking and shooting. We have neglected the rites of the goddess and so it is fitting that we establish new annual sacrifices and displays to beseech the favor of the sibling to our patron. We might also recall that Daxtus of the Messappii swore his oaths of peace by Artemis and the she of the silent bow thus guarantees the good agreement that we made with them. Our increase in population calls more frequently for her intercession as midwife as well, so we should do well to placate and honor her that we might enjoy the full fruits of tranquility now.

Now as we are celebrating the victory over Azetion and our hegemony of the Peuketti with the produce of our wise indulgence of our vassals, it is fitting that they participate in the rites of honor. While no barbaroi should be allowed within the city walls during the festival we should have their foremost chiefs and nobles present at the sacrifices and the games. They should be honored to take part in the rites and have the opportunity to likewise be blessed by the gods so long as they remember their place, and our athletic and martial displays will help insure that they do so. The merchants and others may conduct business outside the walls and the xenoparakletor may meet and know the foremost men of the Peuketti at that time so as to better manage his position. Indeed it might be to our advantage to have the Messappii send a delegation to the sacrifice to Artemis that they will remember our pact of peace and be reminded that they risk the arrows of that goddess should they seek to violate that engagement.

This one.
 
It doesn't list your vote out of it it's on a different line and that's not really a "vote" in the same way. It should probably be proposed separately.

I thought the plan of the festival and sacrifices and so on had been incorporated with Ironanvil's write-in, or do I need to propose all of that separately?

Yeah I re-read and it's okay and incorporated. I got a bit confused and thought that Vesca was proposing something separate.

Also, the Illyrians must be destroyed.

Switching formally, since I lifted the rock anyway.
 
@Cetashwayo I have a question for the xenoparakletor.

Would the peuketii or the mesapii actually honor our invitations to celebrate, given we had been slaughtering them not too long ago?

On a different subject, how do people like the writing/prose of MG? Do they think it's too dry? Posts are too long/not concise enough? Any thoughts?

When asked why he would not eat, Drako explained that he had failed to convince the ekklesia "so terribly" that he did not deserve a cut of the meat; instead he would take the bones and throw them over his shoulder to emphasize his burden in this decision. This was honored, and soon a pile of sheep bones began to collect around Drako. Others, who interpreted a religious meaning to the pile, assumed this was some kind of important offering and began to pile even more bones.

All the while Drako stood impassive and statuesque, until he was almost entirely covered in sheep bones from the citizens. He would stay, under a pile of bones up to his shoulders, for a full night before they left the plateau.

Yes, clearly that is a problem here :V

Of course you cannot forget this snippet at the end.

Drako gave no comment as he was sick at the time after spending a cold late summer night covered in bones
