I wonder if it would be possible for someone who is more fluent in Talossan to engage in a few simple conversations with someone (me!) who is not at all proficient, as a way to help me start to use the language. We can do this via Discord or PM if convenient, but if I'm going to be the king in the near future, I'd like to know more of our language.

Thanks

I think Miestra said that Talossan either resembles more French than Castilian (or maybe more Castilian than French) lol. I'm trying here but I cannot get the hang of this language!

Gotcha. I was thrown by the irregular verb credarh.

I have struggled to translate this phrase from Sir Luc: Créu ça nominadra 'n cervixhă, propi qe reformaziun.

I can recognize a few words like creed, name?, surgery? reform?

Amadréu à partiçipar. (I hope that is correctly written!)

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on October 03, 2024, 04:06:16 PMI thank the member for his question. I confess that, reading the appropriate legislation (El Lexhatx D.8.9.1) it seems somewhat badly worded and misleading. It does not specify who should be responsible for "transmitting to the Royal Archives". As the member no doubt knows, Wittenberg is not under the jurisdiction of this Government, but the Chancery (Section J). Thus I confess that I assumed the Chancery were taking care of such archiving already, and I apologise for not checking.

If such archiving is not underway, I hereby politely ask the Chancery to make sure it starts, with the help of the PermSecBackEndAdmin. But perhaps we need an amendment to the law to specify who does the archiving.

I thank the Seneschal for her reply and for submitting the request to the Chancery. The suggestion for amending the Second Government Transparency Act is well-received.

The Chancery (i.e. me) has no idea how to even do such a transfer to the archives.

Is this conversation even necessary in this particular thread? The bill is already before the Ziu. Maybe you guys should take it out of the CRL to discuss further.

I love the reference to one of my all time favorite writers, Isaac Asimov, and his most excellent Foundation series (the books, not that stinky Apple TV series)!

WOW! Thank you, that was fast!

And I'd forgotten that I was the Chairman of the Royal Bank & Post at one point. It's been awhile!

No problem. We are a full-service Coletx! :-)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 01, 2024, 01:59:49 PMRegarding ID cards, the incoming Government were kind enough to take that off my plate at the start of the term. I don't know how much movement there has been since then, but it's one of the more demanding tasks so please be charitable and patient.

My apologies Baron. I was not aware that the job had transitioned. Thanks for the update.

S:reu Excelsio,

I thought of you on Democracy Day this past week for several reasons. One, because I went to the national restaurant with a coffee cup in my cup holder, and two, because your country has achieved what I hope mine may also one day achieve - a woman president. Congratulations on that significant achievement!

As for the more hands-on approach to the civil service, as I've quite literally held all of the various offices in the civil service at one time or another, I have a particular affinity to those hard working Talossans. They will undoubtedly, like the rest of the kingdom, have my attention as king.

I am excited about the future and reminiscent about the past. Long live Talossa!

-Sir Txec

Your arms are now in the armorial.

I did, however, find the image on the Wiki here: https://wiki.talossa.com/images/d/d1/ForestalArms-small.png

I'd like to have my arms posted here. Arms were granted a long time ago, in a previous version of Witt, so I can't find the original post, or a good image of them. Any recommendations?

I found your original request here: https://talossa.proboards.com/thread/5185/request-arms

Alas, there is no clear image.
