I suggest that since Jenny was acclained emperor, that Jasper should be given a Triumph and officially named Caesar, first deputy of RAT, which he has always been, unless we have proof that the Emperor has died, or retired.....
Or unless Jasper Invictus actually wants to be the emperor.... :lol:

Quote:I suggest that since Jenny was acclained emperor, that Jasper should be given a Triumph and officially named Caesar, first deputy of RAT, which he has always been, unless we have proof that the Emperor has died, or retired.....Since our First Emperor (Jenny) is actually on another continent, I vote for AUGUSTUS. I mean, you can have two of those (or even three without any pain), and pretend both rule over separate part of the Empire. Or, alternatively, we can pretend (but why pretend?) that Jenny has retired to her Palatio on a far-off shore...

gr,
Jeroen Pelgrom Rules for Posting I would rather have fire storms of atmospheres than this cruel descent from a thousand years of dreams.

OK...Florida huh? So the current emperor is in my providence eh? :twisted: Just kidding. Does she no longer contribute to the Forum? More to the history of RAT than I had thought...

I've been trying to avoid this thread since it tooks it's errrr, interesting turn :oops: , but perhaps it is better to mingle in here to avoid being portrayed as usurper (although that is of course an excellent Roman tradition).
In early 2001, Captain Jenny Cline, US Army, founded RAT on Ezboard and Romanarmy.com on an Angelfire page (it's still there), soon thereafter moving it to it's own domain, romanarmy.com (/.org and now /.nl too). I joined the team soon afterward. Her duties in the army fairly soon took up more time than she would have liked and she was forced to act as a sort of 'absentee landlord'. RAT was run mostly by the moderating team (of which Pelgr03, Caius Fabius and RichSc were already members), while I took over care for the main site. Since then her duties in the army have hardly lessened, while she also went through some hefty developments in the private sphere. All in all that prevented her from logging in and joining the fray. Ezboard in the meantime stepped up it's demands for yearly payments with the lovely admonition that whoever didn't pay, got a load of big ads and popups. Having consulted with Jenny on this problem, she allowed me to find a new hosting company where I could set up both main site & forum in one domain. By virtue of setting the forum up, I became its administrator as well. It's a technicality, really. So there, now you know.

Then I must change my view. I stand corrected. As a former US Army NCO, I would be the last person to attempt to overthrow Capt. Cline. I would change my vote to Jasper as Caesar, with Capt. Cline as Augustus, with unique awards for both in recognition of the wonderful site they have both founded and maintained to such high standards. I salute you both for your success.

Couldn't Jenny be our Jovian Augustus and Jasper the Herculian Augustus?

Excellent way to look at it. Eastern and Western Empire concept?

We're BACK!! Wow, I really thought RAT was gone because we were praising Jasper too much...
Schilderhebung, anyone? Yes, that was in my mind too. Different parts, same Empire, same rank.

Just to get back to the original topic:
March 1: (a little over) 50,000 posts March 23rd: 52,548 posts That is over 110 posts PER DAY and if you subtract the days RAT was completely or partially offline (4), it becomes more than 130 per day! :lol: Who said we didn't need 15 moderators?
