Title: Micro Con 'Feats of Strength'
Post by: Audrada Roibeardet on March 09, 2023, 02:56:14 PM
Did a little research into this whole Micro Con thing and apparently there are 'Feats of Strength' at the event. Looks like the only thing on schedule is bowling but it's better than nothing.

Being an amateur athlete, I'd be interested in participating and representing Talossa. Plus, the venue isn't too far from where I live.

There really aren't any details about the bowling event so I don't know if it's teams or individuals. If it's individuals, I'd consider giving it a go.

The problem is that I'm not sure if this is something the government approves or sanctions. Are we opening relations with the wider micronational world or are we still isolating?

"Gather your micronation's team and join us for friendly-yet-competitive bowling." So I guess that would mean team. But then again, maybe their lenient. Also, if we're ok with saying "hi, there"?

I'll be there as the Seneschal and I look forward to seeing you there. As to Feats of Strength I would love to knock down some pins with you.

Thank you for being able to come and represent the Kingdom as well. I am excited to put a face with the name.

Wow, we're going to have two people at MicroCon! That's pretty amazing! And it's always especially special when Talossans can get together off of Wittenberg.

Do either of you have a national flag? You have to bring one!  I'll pay for it!

Heck, do we even have a way to get them right now? That's something we should set up again.

Here's a thing I set up tonight: https://flagmaker-print.com/products/talossan-flag-ad?variant=44726772236569

$40 is expensive for a 3x5 flag, but it's better than nothing.  Hopefully we can come up with some cheaper options soon.  I might even just try to get into the business myself -- my wife sews a lot!

No flag but I need to get one. $40 seems steep but it's basically a one time purchase. I'm earning, I can splash that. 8)

Look at moneybags over here!

Give me a couple of days to see if I can do better.  Maybe I can find someone making poor-quality Burkina Faso flags and we can just peel off the star.

I'd make a flag myself (I did make the Presidential sash for the Republic) unfortunately my sewing machine is no more. I could hand sew a flag but that's kind of a pain in the arse. If someone wants to make a flag for me, I'd be interested in buying. A Talossan flag made by a Talossan? I'm down with that.

It shouldn't be too difficult to sew two rectangles together... in theory anyway

Screw it. I've got some free time and I'm bored. I'll hand stitch a flag this weekend. Hell, might even make a Fiova flag, too.

Don't forget to post pics of them!
