Quote from: Ián S.G. Txaglh on January 19, 2023, 05:08:53 AMcould not talossa have some kind of royal non-human manifestation, which would be a titular head of state, sacred symbol, spiritual leader, popular figure, and attractive force? i would recommend a cat. it's already worked once, to quote the classics (cimrman, svěrák & smoljak - play czech heaven [české nebe]). so many problems would it solve, so much of a cuteness would it bring 8)

An interesting idea! However the problem is that, sure the "King" may be more active, but the activity will be something along the lines of:

My complements to the King and His Most Glorious and Majestic Royal Beard  ;)

It sounds like you're making some progress! Thanks for your hard work trying to get this resolved!

Merry Christmas everyone! Feliceu Natal!

Perhaps there needs to be a Political Debate sub-board or some-such for this kind of thing, especially if the purpose is explicitly for discussion/debate or to elicit a response from another party, instead of simple advertisement of party planks, etc.

We unknowingly celebrated Humble Potato Day this morning with hashed browns.

Unfortunately I did not have the forethought to take a picture before it was all gone. ;D

This is such a surprise and an honour! My infinite thanks to the Premieir and Cunstaval!

As do I!

No particular interest stands out to me at the moment, but I always enjoy what you come up with.

I wasn't sure if I needed to wait for this to be acknowledged by His Majesty, but I am greatly honoured and humbled by this recommendation. I can only hope to fill a portion of those footsteps left by @Óïn Ursüm.

Congratulations to all of the new knights and Medal recipients!

Wonderful news! Congratulations all!

Good game everyone!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing Breneir!

QuoteThe most detailed attempt at scansion and rhyme of the entrants, and very promising. It is particularly technically strong in the first few stanzas - after that there are a few specimens of broken metre, style, and rhyme - but this is ambitious and largely successful. The actual tale of the poem is baroque, something between Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, and is thoroughly enjoyed. The poem lends itself to enjoyment by reading or listening due to the previously mentioned dark and baroque voice.

High praise indeed!
Thank you so much to Breneir Tzaracomprada, Owen Edwards, and Poet Laureate Eoin Ursum for the opportunity to stretch my poetic muscles!

Are we going to get to see all of the entries? I'm interested to see what other people submitted!
