Tough spot you're in. I send wishes for a wise decision by the PA, we might be headed for another election pretty soon.

Wow. What a roller coaster this is.

An Opposition committed to democracy has to be a good thing for the nation, one assumes. I hope this legislation will get a second wind: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=4183.0

@Mximo Malt Once again speaking only as an individual MC I would support this bill assuming the former King acknowledged and assumed responsibility for the facts of what happened.

With that assumption, the return of the nation's founder could be an enormous positive. Generally, I support your efforts at reconciliation.

Not speaking for the entire Green Party just as an individual MC. I would be voting against this as it is currently written.

With the recent legislation by Marcel and the mention of a Democracy Agenda I am looking forward to seeing another party conduct a vigorous set of activities as the Opposition. This is a healthy aspect of our democracy so lets see who will make up the URL shadow cabinet. As mentioned Greens are taking a less active approach to terpeleziuns as a member of the Opposition but we will when necessary submit enquiries to the PA/IDT government.

For years now, I have taken a lead role in holding governments to account when in opposition. Dozens of terpelaziuns closely tracking government commitments have allowed Talossan citizens the information needed to monitor their government's performance. As we head into the 62nd Cosa, and after consultation with party members, Greens have decided we will be taking a different focus this term. While we will remain committed to government accountability through terpelaziuns where necessary we will not be taking the lead role. There will be terpelaziuns from Green MCs but expect fewer with a tighter focus and hopefully more from other Opposition parties.

Instead, in a continuation of the message during our campaign, we will be focused more on efforts that build connection between Talossans. There will be legislative proposals where party members agree, but hopefully, this means Greens in Civil Service and the development of cultural initiatives that help bring the Kingdom together.

For the first time in years I fixed a favorite Eastern European winter soup called borscht. It has beef, beets, cabbage, potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, and celery. And I like to top it with sour cream and dill and have a side of rye bread. It is a soup that takes a few hours to complete and while it is worth it I now know why I only make this occasionally. Recipe was from The Joy of Cooking.

I may be a little early but Andrieu welcome to Talossan citizenship. Your free gift card to Taco Bell is in the mail.

WHEREAS it has been more than two weeks since @Andrïeu Cabischabuerg first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS he has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, language and culture, and

WHEREAS he desires citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa, and

WHEREAS by all indications it appears that he would be a loyal and dedicated citizen, and a credit to this nation if he obtains the grant of citizenship he requests,

THEREFORE I, Breneir Tzaracomprada, a citizen of good standing of the province of Florencia and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Chancery @Sir Lüc to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Andrïeu Cabischabuerg, as specified by law.

Your Majesty, I am not implying anything negative about you. I genuinely wanted to bring it to your attention as I really do want to share your speech again on Fora Talossa. You have a good day too.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on December 01, 2025, 07:52:06 AMCongratulations to all the honorees. @King Txec Now that the Accession Day honors are completed I wanted to check back on the Independence Day speech. If you are planning to do another video broadcast Fora Talossa would love to share again.

@King Txec Your Majesty, I wanted to check in and see if you planned on broadcasting your speech again. I hope Fora Talossa can have the honor of distributing it as well.

You asked me twice today. I've not given much thought to my Independence Day Speech yet.

-Txec R

Thank you, you didn't answer the first post and I assumed you had overlooked it, I will check in later to see what you have decided.

S:reu Tzaracomprada, I am not obligated to reply to every query within a certain time frame, especially given there was not even 12 hours between asking the same question. You may safely assume that I read every public post on Wittenberg to keep myself apprised of what is happening within my kingdom. Thank you for your concern.

-Txec R

Your Majesty, there was no intent to imply you were obligated to reply sorry if you misunderstood. But the assumption of your courtesy and consideration led me to believe you would reply to a polite and respectful enquiry from a citizen of your Kingdom. Hence the second enquiry in case you had missed the post. I'll check in later once you have had more time to consider your speech.

After a long campaign I proclaim my hope that Talossans will come together with whatever government is created. Thank you to those Talossans that saw the Green Party as a worthy home for their civic voice. And thank you to all Talossans who remembered to vote.

Congratulations to all the honorees. @King Txec Now that the Accession Day honors are completed I wanted to check back on the Independence Day speech. If you are planning to do another video broadcast Fora Talossa would love to share again.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 27, 2025, 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.
