I will still be reachable on discord and reddit and I will be checking on here and discord often. Nova will be mostly unavailable through tomorrow evening (June 30th).

While I'm gone I request that every citizen take a look at the first draft of the Census, please report any information about yourselves or others you know about to help fill in the gaps. I would like the publish the finalized results in a July Census upon my return, after Nova has approved it.

Also, there are several measures up in a draft form for the Senate to look at:

• Citizenship and Census Laws

• Dereliction Laws

• Election Guidelines

• Vaults and Pearls Law

If you're a Senator please take a look at these and provide some feedback. It would be nice if we can move these along to a vote and get them on the logs. I can provide feedback to any comments and concerns while I'm away, that is no problem.

For all of the Prefects out there: Please make a map, (it doesn't have to be pretty) of the exact, (or near exact) boundaries of your Prefectures. The Prefectures should be confined to relatively smaller areas, the areas you're building on or have farms on, or plan to build on; essentially developed areas only. The remainder of the land is the remainder of the Province, thank city limits versus state borders.

Speaking of Provinces.... I think we have them more nailed down but we should finalize the boundaries of the Provinces.... So far I think we have: Italia (contains Roma), Sophia (contains Sophia Prefecture?), Germania, Gallia, Lutifundia, Corsica and Sardinia, and Campania (contains Capua). I may be missing something, I'm not sure where Portis Caesarea fits in to that.

The end goal being to make a proper, and pretty administrative map for the entire S.P.Q.R. similar to this map.

I would request that no major building plots in Roma city get laid out and finalized until my return, I think I finally figured out a good configuration to fit all of the builds we want near the city center, including a new Colosseum build by Mummy.

Update on Ravenna Capua

• Nova can add you to the groups for the doors, farms, and chests I've been working on. These will eventually be transfered to the main SPQR group when I have the chance and the permissions.

• At approximately 3:00 am EST on July 1st the remaining melon stems should be matured; at that point those stems will start popping out melons when AFK'd. I want to say there should be about 300 melon stems inside the AFK range, maybe a lot more.

• There is 256 planted cactus in the auto-farm that operates from the same AFK point, it has a respectable yield for its size.

• There is a secured AFK area that is on the SPQRRavenna group. (Nova can add you to the group for the doors and farms)

• You're welcome to expand the farms in the same patterns if you would like, my only request is that you continue the same design and create them on the core SPQR group unless there is an SPQRFarms group floating around.

• There are some 44-50 snitches in the Ravenna Capua area to help you all keep an eye on it. They are on the main snitch group.

I think that is all.

As an additional note I want to wish you all a very happy and safe Holiday. Please get out and enjoy any off time you have over the next few days!
