I'll be there to provide support as usual. I might sneak in a Chancery briefing at the end if I can keep it to 5 minutes and the event has not ran too long.

Hey but since I saw somewhere that original petitions would be nice... I've made my own.

Well done!

Oath sent over.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on February 27, 2026, 12:10:31 PMI'm trying to find someone reliable who feels comfortable in the legislature

Sidenote but I am a little concerned about you mentioning people aren't feeling comfortable serving in the Ziu. Talossa doesn't require much from its MZs so maybe it would be worthwhile finding out what's causing so much friction, for the sake of everyone involved.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 05, 2026, 08:23:19 AMAm I allowed to mick petitions?

Nope.

Done.

Regarding S:r Autófil's observation, it is completely fair to point out that in the past term the Green Party would have outranked the Progressive Alliance among the Opposition in three VoCs out of six; however, that should not be taken as binding precedent, as there really is no grey area or empty space in the law as written.

Had the error been pointed out then, I would have ruled the same way, while instead, S:r Sant-Enogat was marked as LOTO from the get-go based on the election results, and I never noticed S:r Tzaracomprada should have taken over during the Second and Fifth Clark based on the results of the First and Fourth Clark VoCs respectively.

I would say I'll pay more attention in the future, but I imagine the law will be changed anwyay.

I have marked S:r Tzaracomprada as LOTO on the Database, since by the letter of the law the Opposition is presently comprised of 28 Green seats and Sir MPF.

For the purposes of holding an early vote to select a different LOTO, the law says that the Opposition is also formed by MCs who "intend to [vote NON] on the next Vote of Confidence". I am ruling that means they must cast a NON vote either on the Database or on Wittenberg, but that it is not necessary to wait for the vote to close for them to be considered as members of the Opposition, as long as they do not change their VoC vote later.

Therefore, it would be enough for URL MCs holding 29 seats to vote NON on this month's VoC *now*, and that would make them eligible to select a different LOTO by holding a public vote on this board. That selection would be recognised immediately.

The moderation arrangements for the Courthouse board have been adjusted accordingly.

Voting on the March 2026 Clark (the third of the 62nd Cosă) is now open, until the 21st of the month, at 19h30 TST.

You can find the Clark at: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark (database) or at https://wiki.talossa.com/images/8/8b/March2026Clark.pdf (pdf)

MCs and Senators can all vote on the new Database using the credentials you have been sent by email: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark/vote

If you wish to vote on Wittenberg, MCs can vote here and Senators can vote here.



Sir Lüc da Schir, UrB
Secretary of State

Senators, you can cast your votes on the Third Clark here or on the database: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark/vote

You can find the Clark at: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark (database) or at https://wiki.talossa.com/images/8/8b/March2026Clark.pdf (pdf)

If you vote here on Witt, do not indicate any conditions which may make it sound like this vote isn't final: you can always change your vote later.

Members of the Cosă, you can cast your votes on the Third Clark here or on the database: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark/vote

You can find the Clark at: https://database.talossa.com/ziu/clark (database) or at https://wiki.talossa.com/images/8/8b/March2026Clark.pdf (pdf)

If you vote here on Witt, do not indicate any conditions which may make it sound like this vote isn't final: you can always change your vote later.

The appointment is now reflected and Mun Kit has been provided with database login credentials.

I moved this yesterday but forgot to notify anyone. Heads-up to @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP , @Béneditsch Ardpresteir and @Tric'hard Lenxheir that this one and three other bills need a quick review by tomorrow in order to be Clarked.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on February 25, 2026, 07:04:33 PMI would like to reclark the Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment.

I have Opinions(tm) regarding how best to denote Lex.H.2.1.6.1 reconsideration votes such as this one on the Clark.

If it was up to me, my preferred way to deal with veto overrides and reconsiderations would be to introduce a separate one-liner resolution with the appropriate required majority, so as not to have duplicate bills with the same title and content on the books. However, clearly, this method is not supported by current law.

(EDIT: It should also be said that, in macronational parliaments, switching the author's vote to against is the trigger that makes them eligible to offer a reconsideration resolution - well, a motion technically - in the first place. This is why the law was written to be this way in Talossa as well, except we never made any provision for reconsideration resolutions.)

Precedent varies wildly, from Scribes marking bills as "take one/two" post-facto, to at least one former SoS putting the same bill with the same xxRZyy code in two different Clarks (not confusing at all), to recent practice allowing for a new bill with a new xxRZyy code, containing the old title and content (better, but still redundant).

I will probably just provisionally adopt this recent precedent but postfix "(Override)" and "(Reconsideration)" to the title as appropriate.

The three new citizen MCs have been contacted with database credentials. @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu still needs to reassign 20 seats by tomorrow.

Quote from: Marcüs Causch on February 27, 2026, 05:21:52 AMI'd also like to claim a seat in the Cosa.

So granted.

Further small note for the historians. Since this other small note, which I issued when the Database ticked over 600, I have identified 10 Dandelions who were listed as former adult citizens, and one former Talossan who had been deleted from the rolls outright without reason. Besides, the Database now contains a (hopefully growing) number of new Implinds who are not, and never have been, (underage) citizens of Talossa and should not be counted in related tallies.

As a result, I am removing the N-th citizen counter from the writ, until I replace it with a number that is more meaningful.

For the record, Marcüs is the 544th adult citizen of Talossa and 587th overall, when accounting for 43 former underage citizens (Dandelions), 11 of which are now Implinds.

WHEREAS it has been more than a fortnight since @Marcüs Causch first posted on Wittenberg, following his introduction to the citizens of the Kingdom by officers of the Immigration Ministry, and

WHEREAS I don't normally issue petitions, because I would be petitioning myself, but

WHEREAS Marcüs seems like the kind of guy we should encourage to stick around, and also

WHEREAS I have a bone to pick with copy-pasted petitions and a point to prove, so

ANYWAY, where was I going with this?,

WHEREAS Marcüs has, in that time, demonstrated an active, genuine, and continuing interest in Talossan life, language and culture, and

WHEREAS the above point is proven by, for example, him adopting a Talossan name so early, volunteering to serve as Clerk of Courts, and being pretty active on multiple threads here on Wittenberg, and

WHEREAS Marcüs wants to be a citizen and he'd make a good one, and

WHEREAS see? it took me five minutes to write an original and honest petition!, so

THEREFORE I, Sir Lüc da Schir, a citizen of good standing of the province of Belacostă and of the Kingdom of Talossa, do hereby petition the Chancery to issue a grant of citizenship to Prospective Citizen Marcüs Causch, as specified by law.
