Quote from: Mia Jaeger on October 14, 2025, 02:57:08 PMDoes the nation of Talossa have a policy on Ai? I myself am not a user or supporter of Ai but I've seen a few posts here regarding the use of Ai. Is there a general consensus or official ruling when it comes to it? 

@Mia Jaeger If you have ideas on potential policy concerning AI then please do make suggestions either here or even with a proposal in The Hopper.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 22, 2025, 10:44:09 PM- Effective Government

We are committed to professionalism and impartiality in public service.
An apolitical and nonpartisan Chancery (as exemplified by the recent actions of our current SoS) supported by an active Deputy and further backed by an expanded, merit-based and well-trained Civil Service, will guarantee efficiency, fairness, and continuity for all Talossans.

With Balloting Day nearing, the Green Party will soon release additional information on the final part of its political program: Effective Government

Legislation to create a tiered-reading system for legislation (replacing the Hopper)
Resubmission of Sense of the Ziu on Climate Emergency
Sense of the Ziu on Accelerated Democratic Backsliding in the United States

Quote from: Sir Lüc on November 10, 2025, 04:56:11 PMI am pondering if I should publicly post the mailers I receive for forwarding in addition to sending them out to opted-in citizens. Seems like the opted-out folks (not too many to be honest) are entirely locked out of what seems to be a pretty lively campaign. Also, new citizens might be missing references to prior mailers. Bit too late to implement fairly for this GE, but something to keep in mind.

Luc, you are doing an exceptional job coordinating this election. I am also happy to hear not too many people are opted-out.

I can't and won't speak for the entire Green Party caucus but I will be voting for this bill in the next Cosa and will be encouraging my colleagues to do so too.

Mick!

I just had a Discord chat with a Green Party supporter who reaffirmed that support. In the face of name-calling, accusations, and a campaign of harassment which reaches into people's DMs I have difficulty expressing how much that means to me.

Thank you so much to those who are standing by the Green Party. We might not be as cool as Zach Polanski but we will work to make the Talossan people proud in the 62nd Cosa.

The URL will likely be the official opposition but we will do our part too.

Apple+ has been at the leading edge of incredible sci-fi viewing options for a while now. But this new show, Pluribus, from the writer of Breaking Bad, is an immediate hook. I won't tell too much to avoid spoilers since it premiered yesterday but it is a great start to a different take on a well-used sci-fi trope.

The first two episodes are available now and I'd love to hear other sci-fi fans thoughts.

Quote from: Tric'hard Lenxheir on November 08, 2025, 03:29:11 PMGot it in my calendar, same day as the birthday party my wife has set up for me but if I don't have any other things to do in preperation for the party I will be there.

@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?

Quote from: Audrada Roibeardet on November 07, 2025, 05:11:29 PMYou can remove the Toxophilite Club. We haven't done anything in years!

:( @Audrada Roibeardet I was just mentioning that we needed to bring this back. It was so much fun.

I haven't been an M-Mer for quite a while but I wanted to note there are still no candidates in this election. I hope some M-Mers will throw their hat in the ring to serve the province in the Senate.

Talossa must not seek to serve as an escape valve from the world's problems. We do not shrink from the world's problems, we do not cower in the face of challenge, and we stand for what we believe to be right no matter the quantity and fervor of those who are wrong. We can and should be a force for good. Our humanitarianism through the BHAID and the new Talossan Naval Relief Corps are representative of the character of a great nation. Our foreign policy should present that same character on the intermicronational stage.

We have a new king who represents this activist and engaging mentality but our Government must do its part as well. Our citizens know that joy, humor, and creativity (the greatest aspects of Talossanity) are most meaningful when they engage with real issues that recognize our common humanity. And in that sense, the Green Party states that:

• We seek Talossa's entry into intermicronational organizations.
• We encourage a more considered approach to the establishment of diplomatic relations. (Only considered formal recognition with stable, reputable, and enduring nations)
• We affirm that a Green Party Government will take formal stances on issues of global import such as climate change, international peace and security, and the protection and furthering of human and sentient rights.

In the previous term, we led with resolutions on the deplorable humanitarian situation in Sudan, the Genocide in Gaza, and climate change, establishing the Green Party as the conscience of the Ziu. In previous terms, we led with diplomatic contact excoriating Uganda for its treatment of its LGBTQ population.

We will continue that proud legacy in the coming term.
And hope that other parties will do the same.
We hope you, Talossan citizens, will join us too.

With the registration of Garth Spencer's Independent Green/Anarcho-Surrealist party we now have two Green parties running in the election. The more the merrier and we welcome S:reu Spencer to the fray.

The Green Team now consist of Tariq Zubair, Emeka Iwuagwu, Muhammed Yasir, Francesco Manzella, and myself. I am proud of this team but our doors are welcome to those in agreement with our political program.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 02, 2025, 01:04:07 PM- Full party name in the preferred national language

Green Party (Green)

- Party leader(s)

Breneir Tzaracomprada

- A 50-word statement of the general aims and views of the party

A politics that reflects but isn't the basis of our culture. Leadership not in service of satisfying personal grievances but for Talossa and her needs. Positive change not as election time gimmicks but as a catalyst for enduring progress. We seek a culture guided by connection not divisive politics.

- Cosă candidates:

1. Breneir Tzaracomprada ^{*also Senate candidate}
2. @Muhammed Yasir
3. @Francesco Manzella
4. @e.iwuagwu Emeka Iwuagwu
5. Tariq Zubair

Given the recent registration of Garth's party I have updated our candidate list.

QuoteHypocrisy isn't any more illegal than a compliment. But I am happy to help people see who is doing the name-calling when you and your allies do your whispering.

Defamation of character counts a tort. Since you evidently believe you are being defamed (i.e. that people are lying about you to damage your reputation), you should have no qualms to sue civilly. I invite you to sue those who you imply are defaming you.

Marcel I get that you believe I should sue. You've said that a few times now. And I've said what I need to say. I apologized to Luc for the discomfort my words caused. Others including you believe that that apology was insufficient and that's a fair take that I understand. I don't agree but it is understandable.

I'm going to move on from this thread as it is just a pile on.

Hilarious, coming from you. If you really think it's a lie, then sue. I dare you. Until then I and everyone else who was there to see it will refer to you by the appropriate terms.

@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP Just to help you out for visibility I added it to my own banner as well. :)
But I am starting to run out of space, sadly...
You need to understand that these words don't mean much to me because I know who I am.

No need to be upset, you said we could warn all we want, so I did.

I'm not upset, I am disappointed at the continued name-calling. I'm glad to be able have it in my signature line for  more people to witness where the real harassment is coming from.

It's not name-calling, it's the truth. It's not harassment, its protecting people from you. Feel free to sue if you actually believe you are being wronged.

EDIT: And again with the "real harassment", implying what you did wasn't real? Yeah, I think you deserve to be shunned.

It is the exact behavior you pretend to need to protect others from. Hypocrisy is ugly and I'm glad for people to have a record when you lie and claim that I'm the one doing the harassing.

I confess I can't get my brain around "toxic and destructive harassment" which has no effect, in fact he rather likes it and he's proud of it.

I actually started collecting these lines based on your inclusion of a Hooligan quote for a long while.

That's fair. Doesn't mean much does still mean something and I support increasing their visibility as a reflection of the speaker. There is toxicity and destructiveness happening, unfortunately, in Talossa and my signature line will show it.
