Hi Rick,
No your not missing quite missing anything, we as nation claim territory within the city of Milwaukee and a number of other places across the globe. We as an nation exist. Wittenberg is mearly the place where we communicate and operate though as many of us live in diaspora around the world, from the USA, England, Europe, India and many others besides. We are assigned to a province by our location, cezambere for example is a island of the west of France near Saint Malo, which we claimed by cutting some barbed wire and planting a flag, however it not a very hospitable place currently with unexploded shells littering the island, however many people who are from Europe are assigned to it as our province.

Congratulations! Is a term child of a Dandelion? Grandelion?

And again, he might have a reason why he doesn't want to tell us. Say heaven forbid something has happened with his family that has taken him away from getting shouted at for doing his job? Would you demand he tell us something that private. We all have, despite non-un recognition, the right to a private and family life. Any inference in that can only be in the basis of law.

All true. 

I cannot remember off the top of my head the exact day on which I made that welfare-check phone-call with John.  One's voice is always a good indicator of overall health and in some cases, emotional state. 

When I heard John's voice that day over the phone, I perceived it as being its normal reedy-resonant self.  And yes, as I remember these things, he may have said something about work.  Perhaps many of us were too hasty in our approach.

But...  The timing relative to the July 2020 monarchial referendum which nixed the hereditary aspect...  A galaxy of miscommunication, thinking too fast, and crossed wires on the part of many Talossans regarding John's absence?  Wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened!

But...  The appointment of AD as Regent only after my welfare-check call and after two months of no Witt activity at all...

The return to activity just in time to personally veto 55RZ21, which would have made the monarchy a periodically-elected office of state...

John's past outright refusal (??) to entertain dialoguing with 'republicans' on a personal level over the past decade-and-a-half...

All of this paints a narrative the King through the years did everything in his power not only to preserve Talossa, but to preserve Talossa the way he wanted to do Talossa.

As for a difficult situation on his part outside of Talossa, had this been the case, I'm quite sure in my private back-channels with Mha, Mha would have told me in appropriately the most-oblique of terms John was not doing well in some way.

But unless I am missing something horribly, Mha to me in private channels did no such thing.

And this is the frustrating thing: John either refused or was unable to say anything in August and September 2020 to the country.  If I'm the president of, say, a PTA, and went incommunicado for two months?!  I would have been tossed out of office after two weeks.

Could John be putting the kibosh on communicating something horrible in his life?  Possibly.

But in the context of the past decade-and-a-half of dealing with him in both good and interesting aspects (mostly good), the narrative of Lupul's just being recalcitrant and having a temper-tantrum over the monarchy referendum unfortunately makes the most sense right now.

And what if he didn't tell or even told MHA not to tell anyone. Private life, human rights, find some other reason. I even get being angry/worried with him not being here but he does not need to tell us why. I'm not putting him on a pedestal, all of your privacy, what you do outside talossa is your business, not mine. Also your PTA analogy is somewhat floored by the fact a deputy head of the pta would be elected alongside or the pta chair could appoint someone in there place walst they dealt with there own problems, depending on how the PTA is structured. Appointing a regent to do that is the same thing.

Talossa is not Wittenberg, of course; I regard the monarch's attempts at using the National Language and the hard-copy grants of titles to be proportionately more valuable than Witt posts, activity-wise.

None of which excuses the fact that he quit without excuse, and returned without explanation or apology.

I don't think quitting is the right word considering he appointed a regent, he might have something deeply personal he doesn't want to share because he is not required to + he may not want to because of the nature of that reason. I took a break during the winter this year as tuchalich because I have been struggling with my mental health and new disability diagnosis (autism). I'm comfortable sharing that because the nature of it is mundane plus isn't the full story as to the circumstances of what was happening. Maybe the mortal human that is king john had something that he had to cope/deal/get on top of/get over that he could not give the time nor the mental space to deal with, in comparison, our quibbles and trifles. He can share why or he can keep it to himself, that is his prerogative and there is no legal or indeed moral reason that we must compel him to tell us why he went away. He provided an alternative in his sted and went away get on with whatever he needed to do, which is better then nothing at all.

From 3 August 2020, he stopped logging onto Witt without explanation.  If he had something really pressing going on, a simple line to Mha and Alexander would have sufficed, and either would have told us straight-off. 

And 55RZ21 never would have existed.

I made a welfare-check phone call to him in early October 2020.  Only after that did he appoint AD as Regent.  Now, back to my long-thread of replies...

And again, he might have a reason why he doesn't want to tell us. Say heaven forbid something has happened with his family that has taken him away from getting shouted at for doing his job? Would you demand he tell us something that private. We all have, despite non-un recognition, the right to a private and family life. Any inference in that can only be in the basis of law.

As is often spouted from both sides, "Witt is not Talossa"

Also to be honest I was going avoid posting on your recruitment page at all due the fact this is your parties recruitment and policy thread, I was gonna leave you be untill you drag us directly into arguing with you on your own page. I don't want to fight, even here, so why was it necessary to even badmouth us on your recruitment page?

The LCC 50-word statement is nothing more than the FreeDems 50-word statement, machine-translated into Ukrainian and back again.

Prove me wrong.

Ah an unprovoked attack, interesting.

So Bar the fact our 50 word statement directly links with our manifesto, I wrote it before you advertised it on Witt and Im gonna be honest I hadn't even had time to read it and our 50 word says "why should we change Talossa when it's already great?" Is that something your for is it, keeping things the way they are? So you want to keep the king and scrap the historic compromise, the biggest change to the status quo in recent history... Oh yes please do, it would save me the headache.

As of now, I only have two parties that have registered with the Chancery.

Parti Tafialistà (PT)
The Independent Monarchist (DIEN)

I have two others that have provided SOME information but no official notification. Also, to date, no party has paid registration fees or provided a Cosa list.

In the works, will formally provide shortly.

I have attempted to make a wiki account and answered the security question (which itself is out of date btw)

It didn't work, any help?

I'm in now, but it may need to be changed.
