Quote from: Sir Lüc on February 27, 2025, 08:26:28 AMGiven that all three provinces have now confirmed to me they do not wish to organise their own Senatorial race, I think we're pretty safe to open registration to Senate races immediately.

Senate candidates can now register themselves in this thread by simply stating so (no additional information is necessary).

Can those wishing to nominate others for office also do so in this thread?

Need to suspend sales for a bit because the current shipping is not working and I'm having to refund coins that are not being received.

I thank the Member for his question.

The Permanent Secretary of Backend Administration has created our team on DigitalOcean, which, now that a minor snafu involving my webmail has been resolved, I should be able to join shortly and move forward on this process.

This is also a fitting moment to notify the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue (tagging @xpb ) that he may be required to join the team as well, for the purposes of setting up payment information. I will be reaching out with more information for him when it is available.

Thanks I will look for info on how to join the group.

Thanks to all those who voted, and perhaps the only Breton language tune in the TMT can move up again in the next round.

Just adding my 2¢ -- likely mentioned in other parts previous in this thread but difficult to access on my phone currently.

Removing checks and balances is a bad idea.  Thus, any attempt to remove the Senate (such as what has been previously attempted with the Monarchy), will result in fractious and ultimately unproductive time spent on fundamental change that is inappropriate.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on January 27, 2025, 07:29:47 PM@xpb Connected to the first novel, have you had a chance to read the first novella in the series, Livesuit? I thought this was just as good.

I didn't know about that will have to look it up...

I don't want to distract him from studies, but perhaps we could offer Barclamïu virtual resident cestour status or something similar as that might only be defined for the greater Talossan area: https://wiki.talossa.com/Cestour

Another interesting tangent I found which could be a connection for the Kingdom

@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu please look for a PM regarding location options for disbursement

It would appear @Sir Ian Plätschisch has returned from travel and may be able to issue the authorization.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on January 19, 2025, 08:03:36 AMI can't do it anymore and I won't. Talossa, unfortunately, just fuels the symptoms of my internet addiction and I'm doing horrible in school because of that.

So, with this post, I want to renounce my citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa.

It was nice being a citizen.

Sorry to hear this and hope that someday a return is possible.

Alas I will need to get a new Google voice number as I do not check it often enough - I will set a quarterly reminder on a new one TBD

In corollary to the concerns of Glüc, it is desirable to have more options for party activities, not less.  A party can focus on a particular province to possibly to secure a Senate seat if they have limited resources, and in turn build interest in participating in the Cosa.  Or a party with greater resources can look for a broader cohort and influence a number of provinces.  However, attempts like this proposal to smooth out the unique characteristics of provinces which wax and wane is undesirable homogenization.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on January 18, 2025, 04:39:46 PMSince the instrumental I made wasn't that good, I decide to rewrite the lyrics to the tune of the Welsh anthem, as regions like Brittany use it.

The anthem is beautiful as well.

@xpb could you send me the fanfare you made again? So I can use it.

I need to find it and will get back to you soon.
