Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 10:35:02 AM"as well as another who has been censored by the Ziu amid accusations of sexual harassment,"

So this actually makes you sound like the victim, claiming you've been "censored amid accusations."  But you weren't "censored," you were "censured" -- the entire parliament of your country specifically identified you as someone who had acted reprehensibly.  And it wasn't "amid" accusations... that's just weasel words that you're using because you still won't accept responsibility.

Take responsibility for your own bad behavior first.

Oh that was a mispelling, my apologies. I actually did intend to mean censured as in a collective statement of rebuke and disapproval. I will make the correction now. I simply won't argue any more about my apologies or the allegations.

Quote from: King Txec on June 18, 2026, 07:18:55 PMThis "sense" appears on its face to be more about covering up your own sanctioned behavior than it is about the two criminals you bring up far more than is necessary.

Sorry to hear that that is how it appears to you, Your Majesty. If you want me to remove explicit references to them that is fine with me. I'm also happy to include a link to the resolution denouncing me if that is considered appropriate. As I said I'm happy to amend the Sense of the Ziu if it addresses concerns but I do think the organization and the cause are worthy of BHAID support.

Those are reasonable changes to the bill.

-Txec R


Done. Removed the mention of the crimes of CCX and Iusti Canun and added a link to the censure resolution concerning myself.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on January 16, 2026, 03:03:37 PMIf this bill is rewritten to (a) make responsibility for administering Talossawiki unambiguous; (b) explicitly give admins/moderators of TalossaWiki authority to revert troll edits and ban repeat offenders, on the same line as the Consequences Act; (c) delete the noxious attempt to bring down the force of the Law on Wiki editors, it might prove useful.



Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 16, 2026, 03:07:45 PMþerxh, would you be willing to wait on sending it to the CRL?  Sorry, I know you were ready to go with it, and I should have said something earlier, but there's been a lot going on.

Of course, happy to give us all a bit more time to define a good legal framework for the administration and the moderation of our Wiki, which I think deserves a special status

@Sir Lüc , sorry for the disturbance, could you please move this bill back to the Hopper ?

Is this bill moving forward in the near future? Looks to be stalled since it was moved back to the Hopper in mid-January...

Checking in on this, @þerxh Sant-Enogat . Is this bill moving forward? It has my support.

Disappointed to see this bill has apparently been abandoned. :(

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on June 18, 2026, 05:43:56 PMCCX was not convicted of sexual abuse of minors btw. The victim was not a minor, the sexual contact was a crime in that he was her teacher.

Oh, thanks for clarifying. The former FreeDems prime minister abused his position of trust as a teacher by engaging in sexual relations with a high school student then.

I'll edit the bill again.
#6
Your Majesty, Talossa has had two former leaders guilty of sexual abuse of minors. That is a fact, whether we are comfortable with it or not. I also acknowledge the sexual harassment allegations against me which certainly is not comfortable either.

"Produced" is inaccurate though, I agree, so I will edit to clarify.

Any supporters are welcome to cosponsor. I will continue to make edits to address concerns too.

Whereas, the Me Too Movement International (https://metoomvmt.org/) has since 2006 provided vital support, resources, and advocacy for survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence, giving voice to millions who have suffered harm and working to hold perpetrators accountable across institutions and industries, and

Whereas, Talossa as a community has affirmed its commitment to the dignity and safety of all persons and to the cultivation of a culture free from harassment, abuse, and intimidation, and

Whereas, Talossa has the solemn responsibility to take the problem of sexual harassment and abuse seriously with two former leaders convicted of such heinous crimes as well as another who has been censured by the Ziu amid accusations of sexual harassment, and

Whereas, material support for organizations that serve survivors is among the most concrete and meaningful expressions of true commitment to survivor-centered values, moving beyond words and resolutions to tangible action in the world, and

Whereas, the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance and International Development (BHAID) exists precisely to channel Talossan resources toward causes that reflect our values as a community and our obligations as citizens of the world, and

Whereas, a contribution of ($50 USD) from the BHAID to the Me Too Movement would represent a modest but meaningful gesture of solidarity with survivors and a public affirmation of Talossa's commitment to a culture of accountability and care.

Therefore be it the Sense of the Ziu that the BHAID is hereby encouraged to make a donation of ($50 USD) to the Me Too Movement in support of its work on behalf of survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence.

The Ziu further reaffirms that this donation is made in recognition of Talossa's own history and in the spirit of our community's ongoing obligation to not merely condemn allegations of harassment in our own ranks, but to support those working to address it in the wider world.

Quote from: þerxh Sant-Enogat on June 18, 2026, 12:42:25 PMMost of Distain's Talossan bandwidth has been canibalized by the Minister of Propaganda, with whom the Distain share the same physical enveloppe. Entire moral support and admiration for our Seneschal is mostly the main part of the Distain's specific activity... and also getting ready to step in his shoes should the Seneschal wish it :-)

I've been doing these terps quite frequently since maybe the 57th (?) Cosa. With respect to the role of the Distain this is the most insight I've ever received. Thanks Tgerxh. As a courtesy, I inform you I will NOT be following up.

Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Defence Minister.

The Royal Zouaves fall under your purview, unless I am mistaken, and it has been a subject of failed reform efforts recently. What current plans, if any, are there for promotions or in any other areas for the Royal Zouaves?

Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Distain.

This role has been vaguely defined in the past but I don't want it to be unnoticed in efforts at accountability.

What activities, if any, can the Distain report to the Ziu?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 18, 2026, 07:14:42 AM@Barclamïu da Miéletz , you do this kind of thing a lot anyway... you're one of our most helpful and responsive people on the immigration threads.  Would you like to join the program?

I agree with the Seneschal on this and it would be nice to see new volunteers that are not PA members (other than the King and SoS).

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 18, 2026, 07:06:24 AMOh, I agree with the MZ that there's been very little direct reference, which is why I noted that this was instead a pretty basic inference.  We posted some videos and did some promotion, and we got a big boom in successful applications, then we didn't do that for two months and we had a big slump.  Now we've resumed our promotional efforts and we've got another big boom on our hands.  It might be a coincidence, but that's a remarkable coincidence.  I think it admirably demonstrates the hypothesis.

As I said at the beginning of the month:

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 02, 2026, 11:48:38 AMCatching back up on this, we've had no successful applications recently!  Some of this is probably the two week gap when the immigration form wasn't working, but also we're seeing a huge number of people who just aren't proceeding on to making an account on Wittenberg, as well as people who have not made posts once they get here.  What the numbers suggest to me are a lower level of engagement generally, which maybe has to do with the fact that we have done almost no promotion during April or May.

My prediction is that we're going to see that change over the next month again.  We'll see: either I'll be right and we'll do a lot better, or I'm going to be eating a lot of crow as my hypothesis falls flat!  Copy this down and remember it, to hold me accountable, folks!

As to when we will begin assigning TalossAssistants, probably reasonably soon.  We just sent out the recruitment email for it yesterday.

I regret to inform MC Tzaracomprada that he will be ineligible to participate in the program at this point.  Currently, we are looking for Talossans of good character, and MC Tzaracomprada was condemned by the Ziu for sexual harassment, making him unsuitable for the program.

I  remain glad to have served the Kingdom as the most recent example of a successful TalossAssistant. It took months of urging by the Green Party and most of the new recruits appear to be members of your own party but I am nevertheless glad you got around to giving the program the attention it deserves.

Mr. Speaker, forgive me if I can ask one final supplemental question. What is reasonably soon with regards to assignments? A week?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 17, 2026, 10:04:48 PMI'm not sure we could established a direct link; this is inference.  For example, we resumed active promotion and advertising this month, and we've seen another boom in active immigrant applications -- just like last time.

We have enacted many of the Royal Commission's recommendations.  For example, we have revived the TalossAssistant program, garnering half a dozen volunteers for the program.  After sending out an email notice, we have that number will go up even higher, but we're already very happy at that result.

The TalossAssistant program was once a featured part of our immigration program, and we think there's a good chance that it will offer the personal touch that we might be needing.

We are also going to be offering El Pretz Pätriotic del Seneschal, which three citizens will be claiming.  We hope that an actual physical award will be an active encouragement for future recruitment because Talossans will have the chance to wear their decoration at any live meeting or recorded video, and that will confer some prestige and attention on the practice of recruiting your friends.  This was another recommendation by the Commission.

We have redesigned the New Citizen's Guide, with some consultation with the Secretary of State, and we plan to begin distributing it to all new citizens.  This will offer than a further chance to get involved by giving them different things they can do, but it will avoid feeling overwhelming because it will have a short list of possible priorities for them.  Many options, but a few clear suggestions.

We have made several video advertisements for different aspects of the country which may be viewed by the world and occasionally re-used for promotional efforts.  These things will continue paying dividends for years, drawing in the curious.




I plan to do more, featuring other aspects of our country.  And these have been posted to many places, along with other posts on places like Reddit (/r/damninteresting or /r/dataisbeautiful, etc) which encourage people to check out different aspects of our country.  My next plan is to make another one which focuses on our language, and His Majesty has promised a short video clip I can use as B-roll for one about him.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the Minister for his reply. As I mentioned I have been reviewing the applications and see no direct or indirect references to the government's videos being a source of this recent spike or previous spikes in applications. With respect to the TalossAssistant program, yours truly, was the last participant (by direct request) in February to successfully shepherd an applicant through the process.

Related to that fact, Mr. Speaker, if I might be allowed a supplemental question. When does the Ministry expect to start assigning new TalossAssistants?
#14
Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Minister of Immigration.

I have been reviewing many of the recent immigration applications with particular focus on the area reporting how the applicant discovered us. How is the Ministry establishing a direct connection between advertising and immigration applications? And what other efforts are being taken to bolster immigration?

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on May 29, 2026, 04:45:10 PMVice-Chair @mximo , do you have any input on Vice-Chair Tzaracomprada's proposal?

All of the Governor's questions are well taken. Before officially responding I want to give a bit more of an opportunity for the province's senator to show up...


Welp, with no word from the PA senator I hope to get to the Governor's comments this weekend.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 17, 2026, 09:29:27 PMThere are no current prosecutions, although we are working on legislation.  I have made inquiries about a replacement, but it's not a major priority with the current minimal workload.

So speedy, Mr. Speaker. As a courtesy, I inform the Minister I will be following up in July.
#17
Mr. Speaker,

This enquiry is for the Avocat-Xheneral.

It has been several weeks since the departure of the previous A-X. What activities currently occupy the Ministry, and, are there any efforts to find a replacement?
#18
Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 17, 2026, 08:43:41 AMSince I think the underlying bill is a pretty good one, it seems like a good idea to provide a chance for it to pass into law.  If you think people are likely to vote against it or abstain because you're the sponsor and because you were condemned by the Ziu for your predatory behavior, then we should have an available version that might actually pass.

Yes, yes, predator, sex pest...the usual shtick.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and propose the bill if the PA manages to block passage of Mic'haglh's bill.

Quote from: xpb on June 17, 2026, 08:50:23 AMThis has been laggy in no small part to my peripheral activities.  I remain fairly constrained by other work likely till mid August 2026.

Hmmm, I am glad I checked in then, XPB, and thank you for your transparent response. Good luck with your extra-Talossan constraints and I hope you can return to fuller attention earlier than August. I must say with the personal challenges mentioned by the Culture Minister and your report here it is looking like the government is largely manned by the Seneschal currently.

Not unprecedented but not ideal and also quite stressful I can imagine.

Just saw the email. Looking forward to getting my Patriotic Award.
