Sure, keep the days coming. :)

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on March 18, 2023, 03:06:31 PMThanks!

I will, I just want to arrive to the still into this just to finish at least the Legeu Orgänic - almost there.

At the same time - as a natural outcome - I'm putting together a "maintenance" bill.

Baron, I might ask you to postpone the unsanctified bill.

Thanks Üc for your work on this.

It sounds like you are in support of the change then, Miestra?

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on March 15, 2023, 10:53:35 AMEstimat Grefieir,

As there are some tweaks that needed to be done to templates I created years ago, and in many laws pages on the wiki there's some formatting to be done to both the templates and the text, that I have a keen eyes for these stuffs, plus some ideas on how to better display and organise everything, and given that your jobs multiplied in the last months, I put forward my candidacy to serve as Deputy.

Üc, thanks again for your help as Deputy Grefieir. Please remember to post a brief summary of your work here.

WHEREAS Üc R. Tärfâ has made 20 updates to TalossaWiki, and

WHEREAS he has requested a day of observance in honor of the word eucatastrophe, and

WHEREAS this rather cool word was created by the legendary author J. R. R. Tolkien, and

WHEREAS one way to celebrate this day might be for the word to be translated into Talossan.

THEREFORE I declare 25 March 2023/XLIV, to be Eucatastrophe Day.

Signed,
Breneir Tzaracomprada
Seneschal

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 18, 2023, 07:33:00 AMThat makes sense. We're actually exploring the idea of getting an EIN or registering a 501c3, though. The new burgermeister volunteered and the Seneschal directed us to explore the idea.

@xpb , do you want to tell them what you told me about those possibilities?

Wasn't this already explored in the past?

Quoteand the Seneschal directed us to explore the idea.

When?

A few days ago.

Quote from: Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu on March 18, 2023, 08:27:17 AMSo the way this reads to me, and I'm not sure this is the intention, is that the anniversaries are: 5, 10, and 35 (which is 25 years thereafter [which means "after that time"]).  You might just want to trim this down and lead with something like

"Each citizen, upon being a citizen for 5, 10, 25, or 50 years" may request a certificate...."

Honestly, I think the bill SHOULD top out at 25 or 50, because if you're a citizen passing milestones beyond those... the Ziu and King really ought to be passing special legislation for you.

Excellent suggestions. I've made the changes.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on March 17, 2023, 07:26:50 PMGenerally I think provincial assignments are quite arbitrary, so I was only really concerned with two issues: (a) fixing the Mexico loophole; (b) rebalancing in favour of Vuode which is becoming a "ghost province". I can see you fixed the first one; as for the second one, I'll defer to Vuodeans themselves. However, it looks like the overseas catchment area for Vuode is North-West Africa, which I wouldn't have considered a growth area...

Thank you Miestra. I also divided Mexico (treating it like the other North American nations) at the state/provincial level. Half of the Mexican states went to Vuode and half went to Maricopa. I am completely open to changes, of course.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on March 17, 2023, 02:46:03 PMMy suggestion is simply not to adopt XPB's suggestion. It would stretch the principle of Provincial Assignment beyond recognition. Status quo, please. Sorry, I appear to have replied to a disappearing post?

Yeah, self-moderation at work.
XPB, I am curious to hear your response to the concern expressed by Miestra.
Also Miestra...any other comments on the bill which deals with far more than XPB's addition?

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on March 17, 2023, 12:15:18 PMA new section Lexh.2.1.2

Very well, thank you. I will make this edit.

@xpb there appears to be some skepticism to your contribution. Would you like to provide additional information?

@Ian Plätschisch what are your concerns?

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on March 17, 2023, 05:47:14 AMFine, just to be clear - otherwise your Distain might say that I wasn't - I'm not a priori against this idea, but I won't vote to put a subsection under a section that deals with other stuff.

This program will be administered by the Office of the Seneschal not the STUFF Ministry. Is there a better place to illustrate this?

Quote from: Üc R. Tärfâ on March 13, 2023, 01:24:03 PMLexh § C.1.5.6.2. (a detailed list of all changes in the account balances of the Royal Treasury since the last Report,) and § C.1.5.6.3. (a balance sheet which clearly lists all expenses linking them to the relative sheet items in the budget bills approved in the Cosa,)

A balance sheet lists assets and liabilities at a specific time, not income and expense over time (That is what an income statement does) If C.1.5.6.3 is really phrased that way, it should probably be fixed.

</Accounting pedantry >

Revision submitted to Hopper. https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=2240.msg18370#msg18370

Whereas, someone experienced in accounting and finance has informed that a balance sheet is not an income sheet, and

Whereas, this should probably be fixed in El Lexhatx.

Therefore, be it enacted, that C 1.5.6.3 which currently reads as:

Quote1.5.6.3. a balance sheet which clearly lists all expenses linking them to the relative sheet items in the budget bills approved in the Cosa,

Is amended to read as:

Quote1.5.6.3. an income statement which clearly lists all expenses linking them to the relative sheet items in the budget bills approved in the Cosa,

Good catch, done.
