Fun fact: the modern "peace sign" is a combination of the semaphore signals for "N" and "D", for "Nuclear Disarmament"

WHEREAS Breneir Tzaracomprada has made 20 edits to the wiki and is thus entitled to a Day of Observance of his choosing, and

WHEREAS he has requested a day in honor of advocates of non-violence

THEREFORE I declare July 20th, 2022 to be "Peacebuilders Day"

Honorable Tuischac'h,

The Minister of Defense has made this declaration:

QuoteThe Honours System will be posted in the Defence Section for review on August 1st along with the Ranks. I will have the spelling corrections completed and ready for the Ziu in a month from today, if not before. The Request for Arms is almost finished and will be submitted this week. And lastly, the Captain will have a rank structure and org table for approval by August 1.

If any of these projects are not completed by the promised time, the Honorable Minister will be dismissed and replaced immediately.

Ian Plätschisch,
Seneschal

Back during lockdown times, a math youtuber I follow streamed a series of live lectures. They were aimed at high schoolers, but I enjoyed watching some of them as well, especially this one:

WHEREAS Our Secretary of State Txec dal Nordselva has made twenty edits and requested that I proclaim a day in celebration of teachers

THEREFORE I declare July 19th, 2022 the Day of the Teacher

Azul! I want to know if there's like an Organization Chart  with the current state of affairs about Talossan Positions in the Government.

http://www.talossa.ca/files/positions.php

I found this list and just want to know if is up to date so I can edit a few thingys in the Wiki :)

I won't touch anything related to it until I'm told its safe to do it.

Thank you!

That link is mostly not up to date. The most recent cabinet appointments are here: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=1454.0

It's a bit annoying to find out that it was then immediately abandoned, just as soon as you guys took it over.  Especially since it seemed like you personally had confirmed that you knew about it and we're sending it out (at the end of that thread).

What I thought we were talking about at the end of that thread was the wiki page (to which I thought the pdf had been added). Since then I have been posting the link to that page to every application.

Azul,

It had been my understanding that the New Citizen's Guide page on the wiki either was the Information Packet you are talking about, or included it. I see that isn't the case. I will update the wiki page to add the PDF to the top

Unfortunately only Mic'haglh and I were able to attend. We'll have to try again another time.

It appears that the Túischac'h and I have a disagreement on how to interpret Lex.H.2. I will not press the issue further (that would just be annoying).

"I will not abandon my principled stand to stay on this hunger strike until the prisoners are freed, with only occasional exceptions for lunch."

I must admit I laughed at this.

While I try to be open minded and avoid the political games the major parties play I feel I must comment on this and point out the obvious attempt to insult and embarrass  the TNC here. Whether MC Tzaracomprada had submitted other Senses in the past has no bearing upon the fact that he DID submit both of the items mentioned in your Sense. Furthermore you have also attacked me personally as I was listed as a cosponsor. This makes me believe that you wish to make a political enemy of me despite the fact that I have voted for and against acts submitted by each party. I find this shameful on the part of the Seneschal!

It's unfortunate it came across this way.

From the FreeDem perspective, MC Tzaracomprada's Senses were really an attempt to insult and embarrass the Free Democrats. All of the sudden, after years of not proposing anything, he suddenly proposes these Senses. It would be so easy to paint any opposition to them as cruel (see my post above), that I can't help but think that was the intention.

The reason for the boycott is very clear; the TNC promised their voters that they would propose Monarchy reform, and they have stubbornly refused to do so. All of this is simply an attempt to distract from that.

I did not mean to attack you personally.

So the legislative blockade is... well, kind of a sham, huh!  As soon as it becomes too embarrassing, it's set aside and the Seneschal slaps his name on a TNC proposal.

Imagine what you'd be saying if the FreeDems didn't provide this replacement: "I can't believe that the Free Democrats idolize Vladimir Putin, pine for the reconstitution of the Soviet Union, and rejoice at the organized slaughter of Uyghurs."

The FreeDems are taking a principled stand on our boycott of TNC legislation, are we won't fall into the trap set by the TNC to end it.

It's been something like six months since I signed up as a TalossAssistant again, and I haven't heard a word.

I would like to ask the Túischac'h for decorum, as this is not an relevant comment for a Terp thread from another member.

I have nothing to report at this time. It should be no surprise that finding a new Burgermeister will be difficult; whoever is selected must be both be willing to do the work and be highly trusted by the entire nation.

For Talossans observing this, I note this is now the second consecutive month with "nothing to report." I will try to go 3 for 3 next month and see if the FreeDems/PdR are able to fill this important post as they focus on a blockade.

S:reu Tzaracomprada has admitted he doesn't know of any good replacement either. I appreciate that the TNC is holding the Government to account, but citizens should know that actually doing the governing is a lot harder.

I will also point out that the "blockade" only requires our attention once per month.
