Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 03, 2025, 09:14:30 AMThe fact of our own existence combined with the novelty might well get some eyeballs.

I know for a fact that there are a lot of micronations that adopted a cryptocurrecy during the big crypto hype. How many articles did you see talking about them? I haven't seen a single one. I have no reason to believe that Talossa would fare any better publicitywise with AI.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 03, 2025, 08:58:27 AMEven the publicity of being considered for this project would be helpful.

This presupposes that we were the only or at worst one of a select few micronations appoached (highly unlikely) and that it would generate any publicity in the first place (also highly unlikely). I cannot possibly imagine that "Micronation adds chatbot integration" would be something that anyone would report on.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 31, 2025, 09:36:14 PMIf we're talking about a specific bill (I guess the one in the Hopper?) where each province gets to pick specific individuals who represent that province, then we can probably make that easier by just keeping the Senats.

...what? I'm not talking about a specific bill, I'm talking about how constituency seats under MMP work.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on May 31, 2025, 07:36:23 PMAnd Mic'haglh keeps talking to you about his MMP Cosa idea, which IMHO makes the provincial connection stronger. Adopting it along with an at-large Senäts seems a fine tradeoff.

Party seats would still be in the gift of the party leader.  There'd be zero reason to care about your province.  In fact, there would be heavy incentive for party leaders to assign seats to those who were more loyal to their party than their province!  Why choose someone who's going to kick up a fuss just because you want to mess with their province?

Candidates who are elected for constituency seats are not "assigned" by the party leadership. They are directly elected by their province. Unless you mean to say that being assigned by a party leader to run in a specific constituency in the first place would lead to the incentive to prioritise party loyalty over province loyalty you spoke of, but in that case, parties already have that kind of influence over senatorial candidates in the current system, whether we continue to pretend that Senators are above party politics or not. What am I missing here?

It's a reminder that I 1) need to finish the Recomendăs, and then 2) need to write a more approachable version of it that can serve as a proper successor to the Guizua.

In the meantime, I'm not sure...

As both a language and calendar enthusiast, I'd be interested to hear more about this.

We'd love to discuss this, we plan to update our website to include a section on our language (and culture). In the meantime drop us an email at contact@carcosa.cc

Ah... well, this is a bit disappointing.

Quote from: King Txec on May 07, 2025, 09:45:57 AMAs my friend Baron Hooligan pointed out to my recently, English is referred to in the UK as "The King's English" in Talossa maybe it should be referred to as "Els Regeux Glheþ" (I have absolutely no idea how to make a noun possessive in Talossan so this is no doubt wrong - my apologies to the Ladintsch Naziunal!!!) :-)

-Txec R

You'd want either "el Glheþ del Regeu" = "the Language of the King", or simply "el Regeu sè Glheþ" = "the King's Language".

Quote from: Zilect Uómbat Firă on April 09, 2025, 04:52:46 PMKeep in mind that AI detectors think that the US Declaration of Independence (and many other historical documents) were written by AI.

You tried to write a Talossan poem with AI, didn't you :D Seriously, I'd like a citation for that; but it doesn't surprise me considering AI detectors would be trained on historical documents, so not really relevant

That much is true.

Does that mean that the next Cosa term will be shortened to match the schedule?

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on March 13, 2025, 02:47:17 AMAwww man, has that changed since Talossan 2.1? I definitely used to spell it oðreux when I was writing Qator Itrìns

Only slightly. The Treisour has it as öðreu, and ever since it was determined that D next to R is always pronounced like ð, it's been ödreu.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on March 12, 2025, 04:25:24 PM"es oðreux" -> "es oð." ?

It's ödreux, not oðreux. Hence "es öd."

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 02, 2025, 01:43:15 AMMay not be a bad idea to ask @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP for a glheþ check:

Quote3. The motto of the Province is "Sürvixhilind Delmás l'Espuendă", or in English, "Standing Watch Along the Water's Edge".

It should probably be adelmás, or perhaps lalungă dal espuendă.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on September 29, 2024, 03:21:24 PMScheduling aside, a scoring system that is properly weighted between the four different sports would need to be devised. I don't know how to do that, but luckily I have till March next year to figure it out...!

Yeah, I'm not sure if I can set everything up in time this year. Sorry about that.

On it!

(Btw, the correct Talossan translation would be "El Partì Virt")

Double correction: partì is wrong. It should be el Parti Virt.
