Quote from: Françal I. Lux on Yesterday at 07:27:51 PMIs there any interest in some sort of historical /anthropological society where like-minded nerds can discuss, explore and debate the grand history of our species?

I can't participate but would love to share any taped discussions on Fora Talossa. We do have a few Talossan history videos and it would be great to add the group's discussions to that series.

@Françal I. Lux Is this doable?

Seneschal, Tuischach:

One idea that popped up during the last campaign was to have an informal question period of some kind at least once during this term. If the Opposition were to send the Government the questions a week or two in advance, would that be something that might fall under one of the informal sessions?

I believe PMQs are usually answered spontaneously, instead of being sent the questions and having the answers prepped in advance. We can, of course, have Terps during the Informal Session if time permits it, but I would expect them to at least be answered live.

Fantastic.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 04:37:38 PMAs much as possible, we need to begin expanding the ways in which we interact with each other. We have to move beyond words on a screen and start seeing each other's faces. This will help bridge gaps as we begin to see each other's common humanity.

:) Straight from a Green Party mailer. I am pleased.

I get credit since I made this exact argument in last year's Independence Day Speech!

-Txec R

Credit to an argument made by at least two voices then. And to the new government for making it happen.

Quote from: Mximo Malt on Yesterday at 04:39:04 PMThe concept of "death of the author" really applies here.  His lived reality, decades in the making, has pretty clearly demonstrated that he can't control what Talossa is, that his creation does just fine without him.  It seems likely to outlive him.  I think he'll be happier about that than anything else.

With a populace as wary of him as modern RT seems to be, such machinations (should they even exist!) are unlikely in the extreme to succeed.  His hands will be on none of the levers of power.

This is an important point. Further, his ability to gain any new power are dependent on successful efforts at reconciliation. If there are concerns about potential disruptive behavior on Witt then one would simply remember we now have The Consequences Act passed last term.

You just... record the necessary lines and put them over the audio whilst having first isolated the dialogue from a video?

Ok. First, I need to find a free app to do that, do you know of one?

I use ClipChamp.

Fora Talossa would love to share it.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on December 27, 2025, 08:49:08 PM@Mximo Malt The changes you have made in response to the stated concerns are helpful. I would note you currently have co-sponsors across three parties including one from the governing party and this is also good as something of this import should be a multipartisan effort. I remain supportive of your effort here and hope that both sides of this divide will work toward reconciliation.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about that. Majestas' response to my attack on our National Latinish really made me consider what I'm really fighting for here. I now regret ever saying anything harsh against him and vow never to do this again.

Tafi (if I'm even allowed to call you that anymore), I'm willing to do anything to gain your forgiveness. All I can say is that I'm sorry. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

I might as well just shut the hell up now before I cause even more irreparable damage to my reputation.

I think committing to refraining from personal attacks in the future would be helpful. Probably not a good approach generally and certainly won't increase support of this bill specifically.

BT, this isn't only towards S:reu Tafial. This is towards everyone I have caused harm, including myself and Sua Majestas.

I think my statement applies generally as well as to the specific case concerning Marcel, Mximo.

THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I JUST SAID, GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY! 🤦

Lol, I ask for mercy from God every night before sleep. Ok, I understand now.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on December 27, 2025, 07:36:18 PMI have an issue with the way this bill is formatted. It makes it really difficult to see at a glance what exactly is being changed, since both versions of OrgLaw.VIII.6 look almost the same.

I would recommend changing it to instead say something to the effect of "Paragraph 5 of OrgLaw.VIII.6, which currently reads: <...>, is hereby deleted".

Excellent suggestion, I have made that change.

Quote from: Xheralt Del'Encradeir on December 26, 2025, 03:34:57 PMFollowing the Independence Day lunch with Mic'hel and all-too-brief meeting of Mximo, I telephoned Ben.  He stated that he has no intent or desire to "force his way back in", but that if invited he would be interested in coming back.  I am naturally willing to act as intermediary.  This legislation, or something like it, would serve as an excellent gauge to the Regipat's willingness to allow this.

Thank you Xheralt for reaching out to him. Based on this very early but apparent positive interest by Ben in coming back I would like to ask @Mximo Malt if I could be a co-sponsor (for myself and not as official Green Party). Ben's return and reconciliation with his creation would be a positive in my opinion and I'd be pleased to assist.
