Quote from: Sir Lüc on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 06:04:52 AMThis needs to go to complete CRL passage *today* if it is to appear on the Second Clark.

Please move this to the CRL for review.

Congratulations to our great team!

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 29, 2026, 03:15:18 PMJust saw the sad news of the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Rest in peace to the greatest ST captain.

I couldn't believe it at first. I've been watching TNG in his honor.

Despite some delays, I'm happy to announce the official opening of the Cabana.

Thank you for everyone's support in my election as Premier. Despite the ebb and flow of activity in our Province, I am still a proud Maricopan and I am honored to serve our wonderful province.

Quote from: King Txec on October 29, 2026, 02:48:36 PMS:reu Premier @Françal I. Lux do we need to re-vote or can we consider this bill as passed?

-Txec R

If there aren't any objections, I say this bill has passed.

Quote from: King Txec on October 28, 2026, 11:11:31 PMI would say enough time has passed. Congrats to the new Premieir @Françal I. Lux!

May I suggest as your first act, joining with the Seneschal @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu and myself in a joint proclamation congratulating our hometown boys, the Maricopa Brewers, on their first ever win of the World Series!

How about it Baron and S:reu Premieir?

-Txec R

I'm game!

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

I would like to submit the Budget for the 63rd Cosa (I will link later).

Quote from: Crement Itravilatx on October 25, 2026, 07:13:34 PMI agree with the Finance Minister that this is in principle a good idea. I am reviving this for that reason.

---

Whereas, the Finance Minister is authorized by El Lex D.2.8.8. "to create, manage, and promote a voluntary fundraising campaign to the citizens of Talossa and other interested parties each year," and

Whereas, recent news of Talossans experiencing illness or grief ignites a desire for official acts of solidarity and kindness by their government, and

Whereas, such official acts of solidarity and kindness while small and limited can be a meaningful contribution to the good and welfare of Talossa's citizens.

Therefore, be it resolved, by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the Finance Ministry is encouraged to promote a voluntary fundraising campaign for the purpose of establishing a Good & Welfare fund for Talossans encountering hardship, grief, or illness, and

Be it further resolved, that before the commencement of such campaign the Finance Ministry is encouraged to:

Develop guidelines defining hardship, grief, or illness for the purposes of accessing the fund, and

Develop guidelines that ensure procedural fairness and transparency, and

Publish procedures for disbursement.

Quote from: Iac Marscheir on October 14, 2026, 10:50:05 PMI'm willing to admit that Breneir has done a thing to atone that required some modicum of effort and sacrifice. He may even have learned something from it.

Unfortunately, his chosen course of conduct in the 18 months preceding must weigh into the judgements we make of his character, and, as such, what I would further suggest as a much more comprehensive gesture of his wish to change for the better is for him to see a (secular!) mental health professional specializing in personality disorders.

Of course, it would be a violation of his privacy if he were to be compelled to inform anyone of a hypothetical diagnosis, but if he were diagnosed, and if he received a list of next steps the following of which led to an apparent change in his conduct and approach to others, that to me would clear him of all my misgivings about his character going forward.

I'm personally uncomfortable with this idea. The government's course of action here does not intend to "fix" Brenier's character or rehabilitate his reputation. This is punitive action to enforce consequences for wrongful conduct from an MZ. Many people will continue to dislike Brenier, but it's not the government's job to coerce him to take therapy lol

I vote per

We shouldn't delay any further. I call for a vote on the election for Premier.

I vote for myself.

This is a very good idea and I would happily participate if elected Premier.

Quote from: King Txec on October 03, 2026, 11:13:11 AMAs there is nothing in our constitution preventing it, I hereby claim a seat in the Cabana and open the call for nominations of a Premieir.

Accordingly, I nominate @Françal I. Lux as the next Premier.

-Txec R

@Danihel Txechescu @Ramiro de Jesús @Þon Txoteu É. Davinescu, O.SPM, SF-RSAK @Béneditsch Ardpresteir

Thank you, Your Majesty. I would be honored to serve.

Just bumping this

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 29, 2026, 11:10:13 PM@Françal I. Lux Finance Minister, what do you think of this idea? I have made a couple of posts on the matter because I think the Kingdom being able to respond in some official way, even if it is small, would be a meaningful aspect of Talossan citizenship. I acknowledge a lack of legislation does not prohibit it from happening but legislative endorsement would not be a bad thing.

-------

Whereas, the Finance Minister is authorized by El Lex D.2.8.8. "to create, manage, and promote a voluntary fundraising campaign to the citizens of Talossa and other interested parties each year," and

Whereas, recent news of Talossans experiencing illness or grief ignites a desire for official acts of solidarity and kindness by their government, and

Whereas, such official acts of solidarity and kindness while small and limited can be a meaningful contribution to the good and welfare of Talossa's citizens.

Therefore, be it resolved, by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that the Finance Ministry is encouraged to promote a voluntary fundraising campaign for the purpose of establishing a Good & Welfare fund for Talossans encountering hardship, grief, or illness, and

Be it further resolved, that before the commencement of such campaign, the Finance Ministry develop guidelines defining hardship, grief, or illness for the purposes of accessing the fund and procedures for disbursement.

Uréu q'estadra så,
Breneir Tzaracomprada (MC-BREN)

I like the idea in principle.

I'd like it to have some guardrails though with provisions to ensure transparency and fairness.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on September 28, 2026, 11:40:14 PMAs per a thread from last term on the topic -- the conversation in that one died off a bit, sorry -- I believe the Minister of Public Records had liked the following for his ministry (if @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu would like to make it official)

As far as Propaganda, we could try to come up with something new (preferably without using horns/trumpets, we use enough of those in our symbols), or could repurpose my other concept for Public Records as some posters/broadsheets/newsletters/etc.:

That thread also contained a discussion on designing a new badge for the Ministry of Culture, which, as you are the Culture Minister, may not be a bad idea to get your thoughts. One suggestion was to use the Tifinagh letter ⵣ from the Berber flag; since this is actually [z] in the Tifinagh script, using the letter ⵜ ( [t] ) for Talossa may be more appropriate. However, since that bears strong resemblance to a simple lowercase t, it may not be distinctive -- my suggestion would be to use ⴾ instead (see attached for an idea). That's [k]; consider it an initial for cúltură. It also continues a dot theme established by current and former ministry badges including Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, and Interior.

Looks great!
