Resolution 2020-04

QuoteThe Resubmitted Dominance of Order Act

WHEREAS during a former less active period of Florencia's Nimlet, S:da Cjara Brainerd proposed the following resolution which did not receive due consideration, and

WHEREAS everyone likes order, and there is no more lovely thing than a book of rules and a deck of cards, where each card has no numerical value, and

WHEREAS Set is just such a game involving a deck of 81 cards and if one card goes missing you have to spend upwards of 12 louise to buy a whole new game, and

WHEREAS the deck is built of cards that you have to try and order, not by type or number or color, but by matching a 'set' of three cards that have the same number of differences, and

WHEREAS Set with, its odd number of cards having three colors, three shapes, three different kinds of shading, and three number patterns clearly reflects order, and

WHEREAS Set isn't really a game anything like orderly as you don't take turns and you routinely end up with an odd number of cards left over, now

THEREFORE be it enacted by the Nimlet of the Province of Florencia, that this great province does hereby take Set under the metaphorical Florencian wing, take note of the fact that it is just good commerce at 12 louise (15 dollars) that the thing can get rendered completely worthless by the loss of a single card, and does hereby make Set the official game of Florencia.

Voting will close at 9:00AM TST on October 20th, 2020.

The period for consideration by the Constable has now closed.
I note there has been no response from @King John (the responsible party since the office of Constable is vacant).
Therefore, Resolution 2020-01 is deemed approved and the Constitution is amended as set forth in the Resolution.

Congrats to the new Túischach'h. It's not my specific role to declare a winner but he has my congratulations. I will update moderator rights for the Cosa.

Mr. Secretary, the statutes on Talossa Wiki may be out of date so please correct me if I am mistaken but according to El Lexhátx H.20.4:

QuoteFollowing any number of petitions, presented as above and supporting the same candidate, being signed or counter-signed by members currently representing an absolute majority of seats in the Cosa, the candidate named in the petition(s) shall be declared by the Secretary of State to be the Túischac'h. (54RZ21) repealing both (50PD01) (52RZ3)

Is this outdated?

My apologies - I simply missed that statute. I've corrected myself and declared a winner.

Mr. Secretary, thank you! And again congratulations to our new Túischac'h!

Breneir

Fair enough. I'm still of the opinion that these rewards ought to be allowed to be granted on any day with enough notice, even if it'd be better to do so on the actual Florencia Day. But perhaps I can introduce my own resolution amending the law, what having the two wee seats here that I have ;)

In any case, I vote PER on Resolution 2020-03.

Just as a heads up. Should you propose an amending resolution allowing the award to be granted on any day with enough notice then I will gladly support it.

I'd like to vote PER; my only concern is that the order be granted "as a part of Florencia Day". Could this not be granted on any regular day, or at least any general day of significance? Seems odd to restrict this to one day of 365.

The House of Shepherds, Governor, and Constable are free to conduct preparatory work for the granting of the honors on any other day or days of the year. But the setting of the announcement date in connection with a new day of observance to celebrate Florencia doesn't seem all that odd. On the day in which we celebrate Florencia we announce honors for those who have contributed to Florencia.
