Twitter is increasingly the home of ghouls and Nazis. I don't think we want to market Talossa to ghouls and Nazis.

Facebook (which I also despise) has a far greater outreach and I think we're doing well there.

Okay, where are we on this? I think I've come round to @Sir Lüc on the numbers issue. We can keep 8 Senators and election of 3 at a time and just have the existing election schedule. That's the ultra-minimal version.

If we admit that, I'd ask @þerxh Sant-Enogat , @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu and @Munditenens Tresplet what they think of the principle.

Happy to see a draft!

Yes, hello. The ¡Avant! Coalition assigns our single seat to @Açafat del Val .

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 10, 2025, 08:06:29 AMI'm still unclear, honestly... Dien was fairly adamant that we should start with a Sense of the Ziu.  I'm amenable to that as a starting point, to see if the clear and open support of a supermajority of the Ziu will make a difference.

You know what the problem here is, though? That "the Green Party" will undoubtedly vote *for* any such resolution, unless it names their leader explicitly

Don't say you weren't warned

Quote from: Sir Ian Plätschisch on May 18, 2025, 06:51:45 AMI have always found "reactionary" to be an interesting word, in that it implies the "reactionary" lacks a positive case for their own position and exists solely in opposition.

Look, GV keeps calling me a liberal, I just have to accept that other people use their own vocabulary :D

Sir Ian is NOT a curmudgeon. He is a reactionary. Very different.

More seriously, I generally abstain on nonsense like this, even where I agree with it, because in my experience Talossans have enough fights about Talossan stuff without trying to pick them over extra-Talossan stuff.

As a sidenote, the database refused to log me in. Im not sure why

@Sir Lüc can you help this MC out?

I will ask the Deputy Minister @Iac Éovard Valadeir to speak to this directly

EDIT: And here it is:

"Between increased work hours, finals, and preparing for college, I'll admit that I've bitten off more than I could chew. However, rest assured I have no intentions of abandoning talossa or the responsibilities I have to it"

Estimat Túischac'h, can I confirm whether the member understands that he is quoting the Opposition Leader, not the King?

M is for the moan, and the miserable groan
From the pain that She felt when I was born

O is for the oven with it's burnin' heat
Where She stood makin' sure I had something to eat

T is for the time that She stayed up at night
And took my temperature when I wasn't feelin' right

H is for the hard earned money She spent
To keep clothes on my back and try to pay da' rent

E is every wrinkle I put on Her face
And every worry that I caused when I stayed out late

The last letter R is that She taught me Respect
And for the room up in Heaven that I know She'll get

I'm the Prime Minister of Talossa. Ask me anything.

Estimat Túischac'h, I notice that a series of seven identical Terpelaziuns have been submitted. In my capacity as Seneschal to substitute for any Minister, I give them all seven the identical response: that the Government's plans for every portfolio have been set out, as is right and proper, in the Speech from the Throne at the State Opening of the Ziu.

So have we more or less reached a consensus?
