I am starting to wonder whether Florencia qualifies for direct royal administration. The constitutional reform failure and difficulties with appointing executive leadership certainly make it seem so. Either that or the province should be merged. Right now it is just an extra senats seat representing an inactive group.

If we are to expand our military I hope we will also give consideration to expanding our peacebuilding capabilities. Perhaps a version of what Gandhi called a "Shanti Sena." I am not opposed to military institutions but want to encourage us to develop both our defensive and peacebuilding capabilities.

Just saw the sad news of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Rest in peace to the greatest ST captain.

I thought my poor little Shepherds were going to be obliterated by the Vuode Villains but we managed to keep it somewhat close in the first few games of the week.

This is my spicy cat Anza. She's spoiled and demanding even though she's a tiny kitty.

What a cutie she is

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on September 18, 2026, 05:51:54 PMFor me, you'd probably need to show up to some Zoom events to show that you have the command and independence you assert.

I can do that easily. If we have any kind of live meeting then I will be there.

You were not in attendance at the State Opening.  And that's not the end of the world, but it's another piece of evidence that this is just an elaborate ventriloquist's act.  I hope that's not the case, but you guys seem to speak with one voice.

Watching the Discord, Alexandreu. I hope Wyatt and his boyfriend will return.

Omg, they are adorable. RIP to Rebel.
Thank you for sharing.

I would suggest tracking how many terpelaziuns are answered by the minister in question, Crement. I am not in the Ziu currently but the Opposition might want to track how often the Seneschal answers on the minister's behalf.

@Crement Itravilatx You managed to get an answer on something I have been asking for a month and you did it professionally and with class. I am impressed. I am biased but nevertheless impressed.

Quote from: Liz Quiehui on October 25, 2026, 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.
