Political News

• Lots of discussion about the succession of King John
  Let's give the mike to an external observer :
  Copilot, can you write a summary of the recent discussions about the succession of the king from wittenberg.talossa.com, in around 100 words?
  Copilot :
  Recent discussions on wittenberg.talossa.com have centered around the succession of the King of Talossa. The debate involves a proposed amendment that would establish a Council of Regency in the event of the King's demise, abdication, or removal. Participants have discussed various aspects of the amendment, including the possibility of electing a successor or reforming the monarchy to grant it more power. The community is actively engaged in refining the proposal, with suggestions such as a "sunset clause" to ensure timely succession and prevent the need for further amendments
  Well, not bad for an AI, but... to understand this important issue, you'd better read the discussions below :
  The Vacant Throne (We Really Mean Business Now) Amendment
  The Active Monarch Assurance Amendment
  and of course read this Message from the King

Azul John,

You couldn't just leave or resign. I've been back in the kingdom for over 10 years now. In those 10 years, I have no good memories of you. Just endless vetoes, even more absences, and no real participation other than showcasing your dominance as king. Not even giving a speech for our independence day, a tradition of ours.

Now what do I see behind closed doors? You're exerting pressure to appoint your successor. Of course, you tell us your advisors approve of this. We understand, some advisors dream of becoming the caliph instead of the caliph, just like good old Iznogood. It's disheartening to see even my republican friends in the Cosa scheming in the shadows to push through a succession law after blocking parliament and shutting us out  of participating in this important debate. Here comes our dear former prime minister, tinkering with a fine succession law for us, and of course, giving the king the power to choose his successor. Why not hold an election to find a new king or queen? Why not consulted? Do we really need a king? Isn't it time for a debate? And you, Mr. Absent King, couldn't you just abdicate and finally give us some fresh air?

I demand a democratic debate on the future of the monarchy. Besides, don't we have an election starting? We've been living without a king for years, and we're doing just fine. Couldn't we have waited to have the debate during the election? Was there really an urgency?

Therefore, I will vote against this law, even if the king, of course, might not abdicate if things don't go his way again.

Mximo Carbonèl
Senator from Florencia

Bravo Ian ! Hurray for 'Avançamaintsch' ! Let this Talossan/Blakean superb ode to courage guide us all in our efforts for a better world

It is my pleasure to announce the honoree for the 3rd El Pretz Per Tomas Poetry Prize. But first please allow me to thank @owenedwards the originator of this prize.

---

@Ián Tamorán S.H. is the winner of the 3rd El Pretz Per Tomas Prize for his poem, Avançamantisch! I want to also extend my thanks for the honor and pleasure of reading your work at length, Ian, especially a first look at the magnificant forthcoming volume, Poesie. The winning poem is a part of the forthcoming volume and I am told it will be available in the near future if you, like me, wish to enjoy more and support his great work.

OFFICIAL CITATION: Ián Tamorán S.H. (Avançamantisch)

QuoteDr. Tamoran's voice of wisdom and experience here is indeed at "Revelation's core," to borrow his wonderful description. Avançamantisch is a structurally tight piece with measured rhyme while also containing a play on the title. The melding of superb imagery, wordplay and tight form is evidence of superior artistic skill. Talossan art-lovers do not just want more works like this, it is a need.

Avançamantisch

"And did those feet in ancient times" walk on
Valorious, wander hill and mountain, take
Amazing leaps by boulders, gazing on
New vistas, in the freezing blizzard shake?
Cold clamb'ring down to shelter, safe and warm,
And further down, to sit by glowing fire,
Mild neighbours, family in their friendly form
Around you? Did you then no more aspire
In courage to ascend the hills once more?
Nor seek the danger of the open view?
True trembling lies at Revelation's core,
Standing in danger stark to see the new.
Courage or captive – you can make the choice
How from this moment we will hear your voice.
