Quote from: Liz Quiehui on <strong>Today</strong> at 08:58:01 AMDear Your Majesty King Txec, My Fellow Citizen Breneir, and Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,

As we approach the new week, I would like to formally extend my warmest greetings and best wishes for your health, happiness, and ongoing endeavors.

Wishing you, your families, and our entire community a wonderful, happy weekend and a successful week ahead.

Respectfully yours,

Liz Quiehui
Talossan Citizen

Thank you, I wish the same for you and your family. It has been an eventful weekend here in British Columbia where I live.

@GV If I am reading the Wiki correctly you are celebrating around 15 years as Talossa's royal archivist? That must be an unparalleled run for national service. Not sure who would do it but it certainly seems worthy of commemoration.

Quote from: King Txec on October 23, 2026, 06:28:21 PMI've worked quite hard to remain nonpartisan so my concern should be understandable. I do like the idea of them being new citizen seats. @Sir Lüc is this feasible?

-Txec R

It is understandable, Your Majesty. That is why I suggested not reassigning them at all. The seats were assigned based on votes won during the last election. The new citizens can choose to align with a party later so the concern about growing another party is still relevant with reassigning to new citizens.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 16, 2026, 01:32:38 PMI hope that my plans are going to be received well and here's to hoping that I will actually make the stuff listed here.

Well received cool ideas  but I hope they do actually happen. We frequently see program announcements from government in Talossa that don't go anywhere unfortunately.

Folks, I wanted to start a new thread for those interesting in sharing the cuddly Talossans. Please feel free to post pics of the pet members of your family.

Here is my cat, Enso.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 24, 2025, 08:16:00 PMI've played tennis since I was young and have been thinking of other areas where we might expand the trend in fantasy Talossan sports. Are there enough tennis fans to support a fantasy competition? I figure it would be around the major tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open) with the first one (Australian Open) starting in January.

Looks like FanSlam could be a good site.

Starting a new thread so as not to necropost. Might folks be interested in a Fantasy Tennis tournament? First grand slam is in January with the Australian Open.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 23, 2026, 03:06:01 PMHi, I would request the seats be assigned to the Green Party leader @Crement Itravilatx or @Muhammed Yasir. I would also support not reassigning them at all. Hopefully neither of these suggestions would be found to be unreasonable or churlish, Seneschal.

My inclination is to not give the seats to any political party but to a non-aligned citizen. I am not interested in seeing one party or another increase its size in the Cosa. This isn't a final thought, just where my head currently is.

-Txec R

I wonder whether it would be hard to find a citizen who is non-aligned which leads me to believe not reassigning them would be better if one is motivated by concerns of partisanship.

@Crement Itravilatx One of the plusses of this tracker is it will also show if the current government has broad participation or continues to be propped by a couple of super-active people. Well done, again.

@Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir Now, as a resident rather than Nimlet member I am concerned that we may not see a gubernatorial appointment without your intervention.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on October 23, 2026, 10:44:46 AMRight, I hoped for some feedback (particularly from the Government, which is the centerpiece of the event), but we're gonna go with that minimal program for now, and leave open the floor after the rebuttal for further comments on the Speech, addresses on other matters, or for members who wish to debate bills in the Hopper.

We will attempt to conduct the State Opening on our own platform: the link will be https://riunetz.talossa.com/StateOpening.

Save the date: Sunday, October 25th, at 9 PM Central European / 8 PM British / 4 PM Eastern / 3 PM TDT-Central / 1 PM Western / 9 AM NZDT (of Monday 26th) - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20261025T200000&p1=157&p2=158

Everyone is welcome to attend, but MZs are especially encouraged to do so. Tagging MZs: @xpb @Françal I. Lux @Duke John @Moinul Moin @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP @Tåltind Furxheir (Ethan Smith) @Barclamïu da Miéletz @mpf @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be @þerxh Sant-Enogat @GV @mximo @Béneditsch Ardpresteir @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu @Eðo Grischun and a separate note for @Breneir Tzaracomprada who is still legally the Leader of the Opposition and is entitled to give the rebuttal, but not to take part in any further debate nor to make any motions.

In honoring the agreement made with the leaders of the former boycott I decline participation in the State Opening. Perhaps the leader of the Independent Greens/Anarchists-Surrealists might be available.

Hi, I would request the seats be assigned to the Green Party leader @Crement Itravilatx or @Muhammed Yasir. I would also support not reassigning them at all. Hopefully neither of these suggestions would be found to be unreasonable or churlish, Seneschal.

So I actually made changes to my roster and am keeping the tab open constantly to monitor points. This is getting serious.

I would like to caution against something I have seen as a growing trend. We need to stop treating the Chancery as an administrative catch-all. The Office of the Secretary of State is not always the answer for an emergent issue and we appear to have grown far to eager to assume it. The office should have distinct, defined roles making for clear lines of accountability and we should consider an outgoing member of the previous government acting in a caretaker capacity such as the Distain (since this office seldom has any real activity).

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 10, 2026, 11:51:59 AM8.9.4 Should the Royal Archivist position be vacant or the Royal Archivist be unavailable the Scribe of Abbavilla or Deputy Scribe of Abbavilla shall be empowered to effectuate the transmittal or release.

Yes, that is correct. The primary change is in 8.9.4 and accounts for a vacancy in the Royal Archivist position.

Thank you again for taking this one on. :)

Seeing the Shepherds success here with an auto-selected player slate makes me wish that the TCAT had the same option.

One more random question related to potential witt updates. I just noted that the next holiday listed in the Upcoming Calendar section of the "Wittenberg - Info Center" area at the bottom of Wittenberg mentions United Nations Day on October 24. This led me to wonder from where this information is being pulled as UN Day is not particularly relevant Talossan holiday to note. If it is a feature which can be edited perhaps we could enter the official holidays and days of observances to be displayed in that section?

Bumping this.

I don't think I'm in the Nimlet anymore but I offer my assistance as the author of the legislation creating the Florencia Journal. Once we have a governor we should make progress on this along with constitutional reforms.

@Sir Lüc I noticed in Discord your mention of a recent Witt update. Do we have a running log of updates/changes to Witt? If not, it seems like a nice thing to have when time allows.

@vicente I have had the pleasure of running a few rounds of a Talossan poetry contest called El Pretz Per Tomas. If you plan to produce more works of poetry in Talossan it would be great to see you enter the next round.
