Wittenberg / Re: Talossan judicial precedents
January 16, 2020, 03:52:48 PM
Oddly and I'm sure by accident, you cut off the last bit of that sentence. It is fairly important that V has expressed immense animus against the king, personally, in addition to the throne. He swore there would be no peace until abdication, remember?

It might be that you have said equally intemperate things, but you are not up for nomination and I think you also had a significant record of temperance and good faith best efforts as a track record. That was certainly the case you presented to the voters!

I won't argue the case with you here, since I think I said all it needs to be said in my testimony. But I did think it was important not to let that misrepresentation go unchallenged.

ESB is the only person of whom I aware who was both found guilty and who maintained their status within the jurisdiction until sentencing.  The only other criminal who comes to mind, Ups Martüc, left Talossa before sentencing (whereupon proceedings were dismissed, since expulsion would almost certainly have been the sentence anyway).  Cathartic conclusions to courtroom proceedings of any kind, civil or criminal, have generally been infrequent, and I'd guess maybe 50% of all cases ever get resolved.

Sir Alex, your graphics do not seem to be appearing on this Witt?
They're made for the old Witt in a greyish tone, but I'll modify them so that they work on any background when I have a chance.  Thank you!

Ben morgun, buna vhespra, es azul.
Good morning, good evening, and hello.

This promotion is belated, but very well-deserved. For a long while now, our infrastructure transition has made some essential tools unavailable to our languagiers, most prominently L'Översteir, the online translator that so many people use. Every user of Talossan, from the most adept to those just starting out, uses this amazing and venerable tool... and it stopped working! It took the efforts of many, but most pivotally Danihel Txechescu, to restore it to working status. Go translate something! oversteir.sunokaj3.com/

Well done, Danihel Txechescu!

Ian Plätschisch is hereby promoted within Els Zuávs

Not a priority at all, but I noticed that YouTube videos don't resize on mobile. So I'm not sure you can watch them unless you go full screen while on mobile. Just FYI.

Interesting that it uses a BBCode enclosure. If you hover over people's names you can see their user number (u=##). In a pinch, you can find someone's U# and then tag people manually by number

Yes, that's how the mod works.

1) Search the text of the post for @<username> (the original mod, before my edit, was @<displayname>)
2) For each of those, find numeric ID and real name and replace the <username> bit
3) Send a notification and mantain DB tables with a list of seen and unseen mentions

Of course, if you do this manually, you are doing point 2) only. You get no notification that way.
Couldn't get this to work like it's supposed to, since selecting the autocomplete filled in the name but didn't make it a link with a notification.

Good morning, good evening, and hello.

And a second time today, we are awarding a promotion. @Ian Plätschisch has been the sole representative of Talossan media in recent months, continuing a very proud tradition. He has written and edited La S'chinteia for quite a while, and recently presented us with Volume VII of that great publication. If you haven't done so already, check out the great election coverage: wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=24.0

Well done, Ian Plätschisch!

Ben morgun, buna vhespra, es azul.
Good morning, good evening, and hello.

It's that time again already -- @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial has done great work with our greatest treasure, the Talossan language, turning out new rules for SIGN and provisional spelling for the language itself.  The latter will be counted as a second exhibition against a further promotion in the future, but it's all worthy of notice right now!  Right now there's no way to link to a specific post, but here's the thread with the new SIGN rules: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=44.0  And the provisional approach to spelling, which proceeds an attempt to unify the spelling rules, is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xIqZB8WsCMejSoYBNuW9BgbGRlxVpDmu/view

Well done, Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial!

Can you change the default "stay logged in" time to be 480 minutes instead of 120?

Big anniversary at the end of this month -- I wouldn't be surprised if there were some laurels in the offing, now that we mention it.

If I can get the UrN despite being branded the Kingdom of Talossa's Public Enemy #1 for the first 15 years of my involvement, anyone can, lol
When's the last time anyone was knighted for exceptional acts, long service, anything? The last knight-related thing I recall was a revocation.
I think it was probably my knighthood, five years ago.  They are fairly rare.  Prior to that it was the Reunision knighthoods of Litz and Miestra, and prior to that it was Mick's knighthood for Chancery work for his four years of work.  MPF probably would have gotten one for Chancery stuff if he hadn't begun publicly demanding one as his due (only speculating, but that's my guess).

My most immediate feedback is that you should charge your phone. It's making me anxious.

Don't worry, you do enough :-) I was just chatting about the relative merits of the different systems.
