To honor Humble Potato Day I will be making mashed potatoes this evening. Pictures to come.

WHEREAS @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu has made 20 additional edits to TalossaWiki, and

WHEREAS He has requested a Day of Observance honoring the humble potato


THEREFORE I hereby declare Saturday, December 10th, 2022 to be Humble Potato Day

I have sent out the link

Yep, I originally was thinking Sunday, but it looks like Saturday morning works better for the three of us

@xpb, could you do Saturday at 9 am TST (8 Mountain, 10 Eastern)

Anyone else? If not I will find a time that works for @Mic'haglh Autófil, MC EiP  and @xpb

To clarify, I am looking at Sunday, December 11

Alright, who would be interested? This will help me determine the format (difficulty of questions, Team vs individual, etc.)

Also, please let me know what times work.

Over the past 48 hours I have received 17 immigration applications. This is more than I usually receive in an entire month.

One has to think that we got a big boost of publicity from somewhere, but I can't tell from where. I have combed through the applications to see if there is any commonality but I didn't find one. Perhaps we will find out once I approve all of their accounts.

All this to say, all hands on deck! Please welcome them as best you can.

All,

Under Lex.F.40, the Government of the Kingdom of Talossa is entitled to award various Honors to worthy citizens. At the Living Cosa on November 20th, I was pleased to announce that several Talossans were receiving such Honors. While @King John will make the official announcement as soon as he is able, I wanted to let everyone know who is receiving what.

Order of the Flag to @Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă, GST
Order of the Flag to @Lüc da Schir
Order of the Purple Tongue to @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial
Seneschal's Medal of Culture to @Glüc da Dhi S.H.  (for years of work running the TMT20)
Seneschal's Medal of Science to @Ián Tamorán S.H. (for many contributions to Talossan academia)
Seneschal's Medal of Merit to @Viteu Marcianüs (for establishing a working Talossan Bar Exam)

Congratulations to all the recipients!

I hereby declare December 2022 a month of recess.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on November 14, 2022, 08:20:31 PMI've looked this over a few times, and I can't see anything jumping out at me to change.

@Ian Plätschisch and @Breneir Tzaracomprada , please be aware that you'll be provided the opportunity to make brief speeches, should you so choose.  Three to five minutes would probably be respectful of everyone's time, if you're looking for a guideline.

@Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu , I was thinking it might be appropriate to have you make apologies for any senators who can't make it, if you're willing, as Mencei?  And then party leaders ( @Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă, GST and @Breneir Tzaracomprada and @Mic'haglh Autófil, MC EiP  ) would make apologies for their own.  That all sound good to everyone?

@Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu , I was also hoping you would be Doorkeeper and Sergeant at Arms?

I will invite His Majesty to attend, and ask him to serve as Chaplain to deliver the invocation and/or address the Living Cosa with general remarks as sovereign.

Estimat Tuis,

Please forgive the intrusion onto the Cosa floor, but I'll keep it quick.

Very Sorry.  For some reason this thread did not ping me as being spoken to.

I am willing to serve as doorkeeper/sgt at arms.  Also, I am willing to address the body w/ Senatorial regrets.

I have, at this point, sent the Zoom invite via EMAIL to all of the email addresses I was provided (essentially all FreeDem).  If other party leaders want to shoot contacts my way, I can send it over as well.  If there is a closed forum somewhere, I am also willing to post there.

To confirm, we are looking at 11am Eastern Time, 11/20.

I believe it is noon Eastern (11am TST)

Good news, I will be able to make it. Now I just have to think of something to say in my speech...

I can confirm that I have been working closely with the rest of the cabinet since soon after S:reu Ursüm's resignation. Expect an announcement from the Ministry of Culture soon.
