And exactly how are you doing this, Slakko?

If the senate disapproves (nudge, nudge, guys) doesn't this transaction
get annulled?

A bit too greedy, I think.

He might be successful. He already bought 3 kaa of land for
the same price, and the Senate was sound asleep.

I, for one, disapprove.  The rest of the senate should speak up, or
something. :-o

I disapprove as well, or concur with /dev/joe, or vote against
allowing this purchase, or whatever needs to be done.

I, as the other two senators did, object to this, however, it's also (as
far as I can tell) an illegal action (kaas of land cost A$50, so I wanna
know how he's buying them for A$ 1 :)) and therefor shouldn't happen
anyway.

AFAIK the rule says only that normal trades are the A$50 purchases
and inter-player trades which don't cause players to have over 5 kaa,
and puts other trades under the authority of the Senate.

He is allowed to buy up to 5 Kaa at A$50, and cannot be prevented (so long
as there is the free land), or he can offer another price, or buy more
land than 5 Kaa. In this case, the senate must refuse him or else it
happens. (Last time, the senators were asleep and didn't notice - or
decided to allow Slakko the cheap land).

Unfortunately(and I take full responsibility for this, having emailed
Rex Mundi to alert em to this), having cast a YES vote on Proposal 3149
(which was Modest, and did not pass), Rex Mundi's score was 43 at the time
e posted this.  In other words, bad timing all around.  :-/
