I believe Þerxh was playing white.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on August 23, 2025, 08:51:36 AMIt's been a while! Lüc asked me to add a word for "computer science" since he needs it for the census. My suggestion is informatici (so basically *informatics), parallel to how other science words ending in -matics become -matici in Talossan, first and foremost maþematici "mathematics". Any objections?

I've added it now.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on August 24, 2025, 06:53:05 PMI may not have been paying attention, but way-back-when I don't think anyone was actually *rejected* from citizenship for not being active enough, that everyone who said "yeah I'm still keen" was let in. If that's true, it would be less a quality control issue than a "Talossan life is no longer engaging enough for prospectives". What do you think?

Right, I was more so saying that there was some grumbling when someone with 7 posts in two weeks were let in, but no outward rejection. I don't remember anyone ever testing the lower limit any further because usually, people who didnt post enough would just not get petitioned for, and that would be the end of it.

Lack of engagement would make sense as an explanation, though from my perspective that's not really anything new.

Back when I immigrated, the minimum post threshold for active interest hovered somewhere around 7 posts, i.e. one post every other day for 2 weeks. It's interesting, if nothing else, to see how conceptual standards have changed in the last 10 years.

Probably, yeah.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 21, 2025, 05:49:42 PMI hope Talossa would be more than a place for political junkies.

It's already also a place for linguistics junkies! (Depends heavily on whether other linguistics junkies are currently active)

So what is the right name ?

Mximo

I would recommend Raßemblamaintsch dels Citaxhiéns Talossaes.

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on August 15, 2025, 09:10:07 PMI really like that Dibv deck. (Can I purchase one?)

Once I have the time to properly set up the online store, sure!

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on August 15, 2025, 08:43:24 PMI do like your original designs. Don't polish them up too much. They remind me of really old style tarot cards.

I'm planning to keep the suit symbols, if that's the concern. I originally traced the court cards from the Moroccan deck so I'd like to change them at least.

In case anyone's interested, here are two other playing card deck designs I've made since and got printed: Copas (September 2023), Dibv (June 2024).

QuoteWell, we have at least one physical location where they'd be available for sale (Vitx's store.) Might be an interesting way to advertise Talossa. Someone wanders into Nerdy Necessities (Vitx's store), and sees this unusual deck of cards. If they are anything like me, they'd buy it. (I have a small collection of unusual cards.) Maybe there should be an extra card made to add into each deck, saying something like "This playing card deck was prepared under the authority of King Txec, King of Talossa", and have our website address included.

Fun fact: a normal German Rummy deck has 55 cards, three of which are jokers. The extra card you envision could act as the third joker.

I've had some custom playing cards printed as part of personal projects, and it seems like getting an individual standard deck printed costs roughly $20 (economy of scale applies).

However, before we get to doing that I'd really like to make changes to these designs once I have the free time -- I'd like to think that my graphic design skills have improved over the last two years...

Quote from: Istefan Perþonest on August 09, 2025, 10:00:02 PMWell, if you are starting with the English translation of the party name (which most Talossans would be), sure, that's likely more how you'd go into Talossan. But since Mximo is a native speaker of French, I expect the "per el" instead of "dels" more correctly reflects his intent (historical French parties of the "Rally" name pattern include both a "Rassemblement du" and a "Rassemblement pour la").

"per el" and "Talossan" are ungrammatical here because they're singular while "Citizens" (which isn't the Talossan word for citizen mind you) is plural.

Considering that one point on the agenda is the promotion of the Talossan language, I'd like to suggest Raßemblamaintsch dels Citaxhiéns Talossaes as a better translation for the name.

Nevermind, the game is happening right now.
