I like the longer list suggested by the Dama but can see some merit with being conservative on the numbers.
I do think we should also encourage the King to make just a few more more merit-based appointments.

Can I co-sponsor this once the new MC list is announced?

Huge thanks to Ian Tamoran who has submitted additional poems. This may be a good opportunity to create a nice Talossan poetry chapbook in addition to the contest should we receive enough entries.

Let's work now together for the benefit of Talossa.

I thank the Seneschal for the opportunity to serve. And look forward to working with the other committee members.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on January 15, 2024, 11:19:48 PMWell, I can field this question. The Standing Committee never started work because the TNC never finished naming its two members. I'm in contact with the new Seneschal to see whether this can be progressed.

Miestra, I thank you for the answer. And I hope the new seneschal will be able to name the TNC participants asap.

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on December 05, 2023, 01:42:27 PMThe group has been formed and there's a general outline, I'm personally working on a work path, while the Brains in the matter have been invited to voice their ideas as well.

I hope in a couple of weeks I can present some advancements to the general public.

Seneschal @þerxh Sant-Enogat

I am also seeking an update on this matter. What is the status of the workpath on alternatives to the National Database?

Quote from: Bråneu Excelsio on December 11, 2023, 02:43:34 PMThe Standing Committee is to be conducted in private, with scheduled updates presented to the parties involved. The deliberations, when done, will be made public and accessible to the general public.

Seneschal @þerxh Sant-Enogat

I don't know if you were a party to the preparations I am citing in your predecessor's statement. If you were then I would like to ask for an update as to the status of the deliberations and their subject matter.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on January 14, 2024, 03:44:27 PMI had one of my favorite drinks called a Dark 'n' Stormy (Goslings dark rum, ginger beer and a bit of lime) last night and started a new book by Brandon Sanderson called "The Way Of Kings" which is book one of The Stormlight Archive. Only one chapter in so far so it is difficult to judge...hoping for the best.

Love a good dark n stormy.
Have you tried a Moscow mule? Another great ginger beer cocktail.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on January 13, 2024, 10:47:01 PMI know it is the whiskey society are we allowed to discuss rum drinks as well???

I certainly support the discussion of other liquors here in connection to our enjoyment of science fiction and fantasy.
I am actually about to bake a type of cake which uses rum.

Quote from: Ian Plätschisch on January 13, 2024, 07:18:28 PM"Oh lime juice, so tart and so bright,
A flavor that's both tangy and light.
Your zest is a burst on the tongue,
A taste that's both fresh and young.

You add a kick to a Margarita,
A perfect complement to tequila.
You make a ceviche pop with zing,
A dish that's sure to make the taste buds sing.

You brighten up a salad or stew,
A versatile ingredient, it's true.
You're not too sweet, not too strong,
Just the right balance all day long.

Oh lime juice, we raise a glass,
To your sour, yet delicious mass.
You bring joy to every dish,
We'll always relish your zesty bliss.

In drinks and in food, you're the star,
Oh lime juice, you're never too far.
We'll always keep you on hand,
For your flavor, we'll always stand."

@Ian Plätschisch I think I know what cocktail you are having this weekend. Entry received from the dreaming AI.

I rise to propose the following resolution:

Resolution 2024-01

Whereas, the House of Shepherds recently learned of the passing of King Florence (Yarney), and

Whereas, King Florence, is the name sake of our dear nacho-shaped province due to their affiliation with the sub-realm, and

Whereas, bestowing the Order of Florencia to the late King is a fitting honour.

Therefore, be it resolved, that:

The late King Florence (Yarney) is posthumously enrolled into the Order of Florencia with immediate effect.

Submitted by Breneir Tzaracomprada
Governor of Florencia
Royalist People's Party

---

Discussion period ends on January 20th at 1300 TST.

The nacho-shaped province is named after her. May King Florence rest in peace.

@mximo Just for your information here is the relevant section of the statute concerning movement of legislation through the CRL:

QuoteH6.6. After the CRL has given its recommendation, or if it gives no recommendation within 30 days of the bill having passed to committee, the bill has passed the hopper and the sponsor of the bill may ask for it to be Clarked, with or without amendments.

That thirty day period began when you posted to the CRL on January 6th. So February 5th, 2024 which would make it eligible for the March 2024 Clark presumably.

Thanks to @Ián Tamorán S.H. we now have our first contest entry! We are welcoming entries until the end of February.

Thanks bae <3

Just to be clear, my intention (both in the initial post and the bump) was to ask for comments from all stakeholders before imposing a new rule, rather than imposing such a rule unilaterally.

What I meant in the bump message was that it occurred to me that my proposal would also solve the difficulties encountered by the Senator for Florencia in moving the bill to committee, since then a CRL member would take care of moving it to the right subboard on his behalf.

@Sir Lüc Thank you!
