Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 10:53:53 AM@Sir Lüc Have opportunities for additional election mailers been exhausted for all the parties? I was hoping to time it for one final message but may have messed up.

So the mailer situation for all parties in order of when they can next send out a mailer is:

- IDT @Max Maltezos  and IG/AS @Garth Spencer : can send one anytime
- Prog @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu : next up anytime after Saturday 29th at 10 am TST
- URL @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be : next up anytime after approx. midnight between Saturday-Sunday
- Green @Breneir Tzaracomprada : next up anytime after Sunday 30th at 11 am TST

So all parties can get a mailer in before the deadline, on Monday 1st at 5:30 PM TST. Also remember you can provide a mailer in advance and I can schedule it whenever you want, from the earliest possible time onwards of course (in your own interest - otherwise you are at the mercy of my unpredictable weekend schedule, which has lately been largely not up to me.)

This is extremely helpful, thanks Luc.

I'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.

I'd be down to play too! The only Star Trek game I've played is the old Star Trek Armada but this would probably be fun too.

Quote from: Françal I. Lux on November 22, 2025, 08:32:04 PMI'm just gonna jump in here bc DS9 is also my favorite! The episode "In the Pale Moonlight" is my all time favorite episode of Star Trek.

I think we might have enough people for a Talossan Trekkies group. That is an excellent episode. TNG is my favorite and The Best of Both Worlds (Pts. 1 & 2) is my favorite episode.

Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on November 16, 2025, 10:06:35 AMLD is almost tied for my number 1 favourite trek behind DS9

I was not expecting to like it as much as I did. The actress who played Mariner is working on another humorous Trek show too.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on November 19, 2025, 01:14:10 PMNevermind - I have been provided with sufficient proof that Flip sadly passed away in the night of January 23rd 2025. I can obviously miss things but I don't think this info had been shared here beforehand, like with other unfortunately similar cases.

I have updated the rolls accordingly. He shall remain a Talossan in eternity, and his memory will live on in our minds and hearts. Så viva Flip!

Thank you Luc. Så viva Flip!

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 18, 2025, 08:59:50 PM@Sir Lüc Flip Molinar is on the list of voters who did not cast a ballot. I believe Danihel Txechescu informed us of the unfortunate news of his passing earlier this year.

All we know is that Flip himself informed us he would not last beyond June 2025, in all likelihood; Danihel merely reminded us of that.

But in reality, we have no confirmation of what happened since, and without such proof, revoking Flip's citizenship would be inOrganic on account of breaking the Twelfth Covenant.

That is why the Chancery still considers Flip an active citizen and why he was accordingly issued a ballot.

I wanted to clarify from the following from @Danihel Txechescu

Quote from: Danihel Txechescu on September 24, 2025, 10:56:41 AMI was looking a topic on this yesterday myself and found none. I remembered Flip too on his birthday.

For those not in the know, Flip passed away early in the year due to an aggressive brain tumor. His presence is missed in Talossa.

Danihel stated that Flip passed away. Danihel I may have misunderstood you.

Not legislation but we will be encouraging the next seneschal to revive the Talossa Talks project initiated during the Tzaracomprada Ministry.

You both have quite an impressive get-up. Do you do this every halloween? Last year I dressed up as a Starfleet officer (using Kirk's old green uniform top).

@King Txec Am I correct that you are ordering all Talossans to sing happy birthday to Tric'hard at the start of the Royal Coffee?

Glad to hear there will be singing.

I wasn't aware that it was his birthday. I won't force anyone to sing though!

Thanks to you both.

@Sir Lüc Luc, you may have already sent it but I wanted to be sure. Is there anything else needed before sending the oath for Tong Mun Kit?

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be I very much hope this bill will move forward in the coming term.

Whereas, it can be said that one objective in granting rights is to reduce suffering and enhance flourishing, so the use of sentience as a guiding characteristic may be more appropriate, and

Whereas, it was the trailblazing philosopher Jeremy Bentham who wrote in 1789, "The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?", and

Whereas, sentience is the characteristic of consciousness whereby an organism has a sufficient level of awareness to experience suffering, and

Whereas, sentience has been proven to be a characteristic not exclusive to homo sapiens sapiens, and

Whereas, it is therefore a fact that the restriction of the normative and legal discussion and codification of rights to humankind is an unacceptable case of anthropocentric speciesism.

Therefore, be it enacted that el Lexhatx F.5.3.13 (Culture) which currently reads:

Quote10 December. Human Rights Day. A suggested method to celebrate Human Rights Day is reviewing Article XI of The Organic Law and/or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

is deleted.

and the current el Lexhatx F.5.2.7 which reads:

QuoteDecember 12: Llimbaziua (Language Day).

is renumbered as F.5.2.8.

The following new article is reinserted as el Lexhatx F.5.2.7 (Culture) to read as:

Quote10 December. Sentient Rights Day. A day to celebrate the dignity and honor the rights of all sentient beings.
