Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on Today at 06:24:03 PMWhen I Joined I had no idea what the Cosa was and didn't understand why would I care about one seat in it; now I'm spending 2 coffees worth of money for 1 seat.

1 vote will get you at least 2, maybe 3 seats!

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on Today at 05:41:32 PMyou make enemies as fast as you make friends. This is why we brought in the provision for "1 seat for new citizens", to bring in a low-stakes way to start in politics. For some reason people have just not been interested in that. Wild, as 1 seat in the last Cosa would have changed everything.

I think this info should be added to the New Citizen Guide, provided to new citizens.

My goal is to unite people through shared vissions and bring unity and positivity to Talossa; to balance different viewpoints and unite Talossa for a better future.

Arts you say? Sounds interesting.

Before you arrived I was the hyperactive dude for a while too, but even before knowing what was going on, I was recluted by the same guy who recluted you and had to quit everything later on, tricky little thing, politics.

I am always interested in how that citizen was so good at "recluting" people when the Free Democrats couldn't, even when approaching newbies right out of the immigration queue - but I suppose where all that ended up with the current "TNC potato sack" breaking. It's harder to recruit to a party of principle but it means a more resilient party in the long run.

QuoteIt's a good idea to stay out of politics, but having a seat in the Cosa is kind of fun. If you can afford the $10 dollars, making your own party seems fun, isn't it?

It is kind of fun, but it also means you become a "main character" in politics, with people from all sides lobbying you for your vote, to join their coalition, etc, and you make enemies as fast as you make friends. This is why we brought in the provision for "1 seat for new citizens", to bring in a low-stakes way to start in politics. For some reason people have just not been interested in that. Wild, as 1 seat in the last Cosa would have changed everything.

Name it the BMP, the Barclamiu da Miéletz Party, where only Barclamiu da Miéletzs are allowed in.
Some say it's a step you have to take sometime in your first months/years of being a Talossan.


Also, there's a clause somewhere where new citizns can claim a seat in the Cosa just because they're  new citizens but I don't know if it will apply to the Next Cosa for you, given that you became a Citizen in the 59th Cosa.

I'm not ready with my own party just yet.

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on Yesterday at 11:59:23 AMAzul, Mr. SoS, may I please ask for a sub-board in the Registered Political Parties board for the Civilian Outreach for Fun and Enjoyable Events?

If not allowed, then I shall make a new thread in the Wittenberg board :)

I must say membership in that party is quite tempting.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Today at 03:51:47 PMI really like the term Té-En-Tzells.

I realised too late that it sounds kind of like "incels", sorry about that :D

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on Today at 03:40:03 PMMake that four Té-En-Tzells now. I'm reminded of Karl Marx's saying that organizing the peasantry is like putting potatoes in a sack with holes in it. It seems that the TNC was something like that. Interested to hear what their two sitting Senators plan to do!

Also, it's been pointed out to me that the IND Party's call for "a more pluralistic approach to Talossan politics" is interesting given that the IND Party's leader was one of the loudest voices for a "TNC-only cabinet" excluding Sir Lüc da Schir, at the time of the last government negotiations.

I really like the term Té-En-Tzells.
