Okay, let's be clear in our terms. I am at least able to raise a support ticket when things go wrong on some level - as in the past when Witt or the Wiki or talossa.com have just gone wrong for whatever reason, the kind folks at DeRoyal have set things back on their feet quite expeditiously. So we're not completely helpless.

With the specific question of Wittenberg's running software, I'm guided by the SoS. If he says "we need this updated", the Government would make it a top priority to find someone to help make that happen. My first port of call would be the current Deputy MinTech, Bradley Higgs, who is not a very active Talossan but would be on call. The next port of call would be s:reux da Schir and Grischün in the hope that one of them might be available. In extreme extremities, I have a non-Talossan friend who has helped us out in the past.

I would end by mentioning that - without wanting to cause anyone embarrassment - I have explicitly messaged s:reu da Schir and asked him if he wanted to step into a formal backend admin role like he used to have, and I did not get a positive response.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that either Lüc da Schir or Eðo Grischün do, or they know who does. I have access to the hosting on doroyal.com but I wouldn't even know where to look to find "who has FTP access". As I keep saying, I'm only in this job because all the technical gurus went into retirement.

big ol PËR from me

Yes. It's GV's job as the Provincial Tuíschac'h, I'll remind him.

You're more than welcome to take over as Provincial Secretary of State if you want :D

Glad you asked. I direct the Senator's attention to the Hopper, re: wholesale deletion of an obsolete piece of statute law. I'm also currently in discussions with the Finance Ministry about how the relevant piece of statue law can be simplified, particularly in view of the recent problems finding a Burgermeister, and also the loss of communication that led to a scramble to authorise payment for the national website.

Be that as it may, should my party declare an end to the formal boycott, I'm still going to vote against about 90% of TNC bills - i.e. those which are mean-spirited, ill-thought out, or which I'm just opposed to on principle. I'm sure you're not going to argue that I don't have the right to vote against whatever doesn't appear to me to be a good idea?

WHEREAS one of the ugliest facets of Talossan history has been a xenophobic attitude towards micronations, or other Talossa-like entities;

AND WHEREAS the blanket ban on Talossans being involved in other such entities was removed early in the realm of King John by the current provisions A.9 of El Lexhatx, which restricts sanctions to a "blacklist" of bad micronations;

AND WHEREAS this blacklist has not existed for some time, if it ever did;

AND WHEREAS the incumbent Government has the joint manifesto commitments of simplifying El Lexhatx, and of opening Talossa to the world of micronations;

AND WHEREAS this bill is unlikely to have much practical impact, but acts as a symbol of international friendliness;

BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosa and Senäts in Ziu assembled that sections A.9 and D.2.6.5 of El Lexhatx are hereby deleted in its entirety.

God I hope not... Gross

What do you think the role of an opposition in a parliamentary democracy should be?

I'm informed by my Deputy that "our first batch is actually at the printer now, so technically that number is currently 0. I anticipate them being done by Tuesday, though."

I must say, just while we're on the topic, that I'm disappointed that neither of the TNC leaders have done the Civics Test.

I suppose I should ask for a ministerial badge for our new Ministry.

Have you wondered, Tric'hard, why you are calling it a "blockade" rather than a boycott? If you think about that for a moment, you might begin to understand why the FreeDems have been forced to take such action.

And no-one ever suggested boycotting your bill precisely because, as you say, you're not a TNC member. You are believing things which aren't true because... someone told you so?

Azul!
I already have an account, what is the process to be able to modify articles?
I tried to change a little thingy a few days ago but I don't have the right permissions.

I think I've given you all the permissions now.

I think there's a point being missed here. The Seneschál has a substantive problem with the TNC's "Senses", in that he doesn't agree that sanctions are useful. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think both sides have to resile from mutual accusation of "you're only doing this to make us look bad".

... but, honestly, aren't we all trying to make each other look bad? To humiliate, embarrass, and infuriate each other?

Glad you asked. The total number of successful applicants is 11. The ID card mailout process is delegated to Deputy MinSTUFF s:reu Autofíl, so I'd like him to give an update.
