ACT I. SCENE I.

SOOTHSAYER
Caesar!

JULIUS CAESAR
Ha! Who calls?

CASCA
Bid every noise be still:—peace yet again!

JULIUS CAESAR
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar.' Speak; Caesar is turned to hear.

SOOTHSAYER
Beware the ides of March

JULIUS CAESAR
What man is that?

MARCUS BRUTUS
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

JULIUS CAESAR
Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS
Fellow, come from the throng: look upon Caesar.

JULIUS CAESAR
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

SOOTHSAYER
Beware the ides of March.

JULIUS CAESAR
He is a dreamer; let us leave him:—pass.

NOTE: The bot will not be set up for the beginning of the game. It will hopefully be ready by the end of day 1, but until then you will have to play like the Romans (probably) did.

ACT I. SCENE II.

CASSIUS
Will you sup with me to-night, Casca?

CASCA
No, I am promised forth.

CASSIUS
Will you dine with me to-morrow?

CASCA
Ay, if I be alive, and your mind hold, and your dinner worth the eating.

CASSIUS
Good; I will expect you.

CASCA
Do so: farewell, both.
[Exit.

MARCUS BRUTUS
What a blunt fellow is this grown to be!
He was quick mettle when he went to school.

CASSIUS
So is he now, in execution
Of any bold or noble enterprise,
However he puts on this tardy form.
This rudeness is a source to his good wit,
Which gives men stomach to digest his words
With better appetite

MARCUS BRUTUS
And so it is. For this time I will leave you:
To-morrow, if you please to speak with me,
I will come home to you; or, if you will,
Come home to me, and I will wait for you.

CASSIUS
I will do so:—till then, think of the world.

Game has started, you may now post

[Kakarroto]

Atrium cubiculum conticuerunt. Marcus Tullius Cacero omnes. Et surrexit lente et loqui coepit.

"Φίλοι, Ρωμαίοι, συμπατριώτες, δανείστε μου τα αυτιά σας. Οι πελάτες μου μπορεί να απουσιάζουν, αλλά είναι για έναν σπουδαίο λόγο. Αυτή η πόλη της Ρώμης είναι γεμάτη γάτες, ο φυσικός εχθρός των πελατών μου."
(Fíloi, Romaíoi, sympatriótes, daneíste mou ta aftiá sas. Oi pelátes mou boreí na apousiázoun, allá eínai gia énan spoudaío lógo. Aftí i póli tis Rómis eínai gemáti gátes, o fysikós echthrós ton pelatón mou.)

"Φυσικά δεν μπορούν να ακολουθήσουν την εντολή της εισαγγελίας, και να εμφανιστούν στο δικαστήριο. Η ζωή τους βρίσκεται σε μεγάλο κίνδυνο. Ποιος θα έμπαινε σε μια πόλη που βρίθει από τους δολοφόνους του; Είναι φυσικά αδύνατο να μπουν με ασφάλεια στο γήπεδο."
(Fysiká den boroún na akolouthísoun tin entolí tis eisangelías, kai na emfanistoún sto dikastírio. I zoí tous vrísketai se megálo kíndyno. Poios tha émpaine se mia póli pou vríthei apó tous dolofónous tou? Eínai fysiká adýnato na boun me asfáleia sto gípedo.)

"Επομένως, οι πελάτες μου δεν περιφρονούνται. Για να διορθώσετε αυτήν την κατάσταση, θα σας ζητήσω να παραγγείλετε όλες τις γάτες μέσα στα σπίτια και τα σπίτια τους και να παραμείνουν εκεί για την εκτεταμένη περίοδο αυτής της δοκιμής, ώστε οι πελάτες μου, οι αρουραίοι, που φέρεται να έφαγαν τα σιτηρά μέσα στο σιταποθήκη, να έρθουν εδώ και να δικαστούν."
(Epoménos, oi pelátes mou den perifronoúntai. Gia na diorthósete aftín tin katástasi, tha sas zitíso na parangeílete óles tis gátes mésa sta spítia kai ta spítia tous kai na parameínoun ekeí gia tin ektetaméni período aftís tis dokimís, óste oi pelátes mou, oi arouraíoi, pou féretai na éfagan ta sitirá mésa sto sitapothíki, na érthoun edó kai na dikastoún.)

Iudex in oculis aspexit, deinde spectatoribus perlustravit, paulum adnuit, deinde sedit.

Post multum tempus, ubi judices inter se consultabant, tandem ad finem venerunt ac proclamarunt, hoc argumentum sanum esse, et in judicio perseverare, quisque cattus domi manere debebat ut mures ad curiam venire possent.

Gradum positum est, ut ad tempus determinatum omnes feles simul intra domos suas haberent, et tunc iudicium dilatum est.

Marcus Tullius Cacero in sella reclinatus leviter risit, ad eum concurrerunt fautores, et ob exquisitam stallendi artem gratulatus est.

Post haec omnibus gratias egit, ac lente aula exire coepit, placida Romae vigilia fruens.

Friends, Romans and countrymen, hello.

By the knowledge of our minds
By the works made by our hands
By our witness against lies
By our people, Rome will stand

The crowd jeered angrily at the reciter. Cinna’s poetry had gradually fallen out of favor during the past several months for three reasons. First, poetry was being scorned by the general public as a symbol of the aristocracy who patronized it. Second, his populist style of poetry in particular had come to be associated with the Senate and the aristocracy’s insistence that they were the true people of Rome. And, third and most importantly, Cinna shared a name with Cinna the Senator, vocal opponent of Julius Caesar, the dictator who was beloved by the people.
A rock flew over the speaker’s head, and several more followed it. The plebians, of course, thought that they were the true people of Rome.
Arrogant fools.
That thought was punctuated by several soldiers turning up to see who was making all the noise and why.
Time to go.
Cinna, wearing a dark hood, quietly backed away. In the chaos, nobody looked at his face or asked who he was.
At the other end of the crowd, Cinna turned and fled. He was not wearing a hood, but for all the attention his name brought, almost nobody knew his face.
Neither of them spared a thought for the poor man who now had the attention of both the crowd and the soldiers.
