Does Poland not have veterans? Do they not also deserve to be celebrated? My proclamation was for ALL of us as Talossa is not just one country or people. We have Americans, New Zealanders, British, German, Canadian, Polish, Italian just to name those off the top of my head. Our diversity is one of our enduring strengths and veterans from every country, every side in conflict, should be celebrated for their sacrifices. Not just "my" veterans. All veterans.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on November 11, 2024, 09:48:38 AMPlease be happy that your countries have always existed, unlike Poland where it regained independence after 123 years of partitioning, 106 years ago.

A happy name day to myself and a happy Polish Independence Day to myself and Veteran's/Armistice Day to those who celebrate it.

To be fair, no country on Earth has "always existed" and there are many, many countries that had to fight hard to keep their existence. Let's try to remember today isn't about any one country. It is about our veterans who have given everything they had.

Very cool!

I would suggest that a little grace should be given to the king. After all, he has been the monarch for 17 years and I can rightly imagine that it would not be an easy thing to give up. When my time comes as king, I imagine I will likely face a similar dilemma some years down the road as well.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 29, 2024, 11:36:27 AMJust over a week since conclusion of the referendum and I am sure there are arrangements necessary behind the scenes. Do we know when King John plans to abdicate and officialize Txec's ascension?

I've received no information from His Majesty as to his plans.

The Avocat-Xheneral is probably one of the better people in theory to review bills as they are supposedly more legal minded. Anyway, I was just thinking about your bill and wanted to provide some input. Thanks.

I've always interpreted the supermajority requirement as a method to avoid the CRL, for example, for bills that need speedy approval.

As for the quality of bills, they may not decrease in quality, but for the ease of Clarking, instead of having to search a potentially long thread in the Hopper, it is far easier to search in the CRL for approval when the SoS looks for bills to be Clarked. I really don't see how this bill simplifies anything at all. Keep in mind, this is just my two cents.

By doubling the time in the hopper and eliminating the CRL, I worry that the quality of bills that make it onto the Clark may suffer. If nothing else, the CRL has worked well in making sure that bills are properly formatted and are essentially error free. I can't recall any bill that was not sent to the CRL that did not ultimately gain approval.

Additionally, the language you are using now would basically require a supermajority of the Cosa before bills can even be Clarked at all. That language was left intact to allow for bills to effectively short-circuit the process of the CRL and get onto the Clark. Your new language has the same effect as having a CRL as the same three people still have to approve a bill.

Basically, from what I can see, all this proposal does in essence is double the time in the Hopper while keeping the same 3 person approval firmly in place, just not in a different thread.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 27, 2024, 03:32:25 PM@Zilect Uómbat Firă Well, while we wait for King John to abdicate and make Txec's ascension final I have an update. We do actually have a constable: @Dame Litz Cjantscheir, UrN

In light of this, I wanted to confirm you would still prefer for me to petition Txec once he is officially king?

I'll defer to your discretion

I looked back and Dame Litz was confirmed as Cunstaval at the same time I was made Cunstaval of Vuode. I don't think I would look kindly on naming a new Cunstaval without the existing one either no longer active or voluntarily resigned.

Awesome, thanks. Fiverr is a pretty cool resource. I've used it in the past myself. Thanks Dean.

Thank you Sir Cresti!

No, I wasn't aware of that. For a while I was playing a game that had some crossover elements including The Cerritos and several of the characters.

Yes, I love the show! I've been a little annoyed watching it recently only because I use closed captioning due to hearing loss and the captioning has been out of sync. Not the fault of the show, but it makes it less enjoyable. Nevertheless, even my wife Chelli loves it, and she does not love most SciFi stuff.
