Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 16, 2026, 01:05:14 PMReally nice map, one thing that would be good, in my opinion, would be to inclute metric measurements as well, it's our offical system of measurment after all.

Other than that the map is really well done.

Isn't the map already metric...?

It looks to in both metric and Imperial.

Way to go to our hometown boys the Maricopa Brewers! Should our team win the World Series (their first visit since 1982) we will have to find some way to honor them!

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 12, 2026, 08:46:55 PMMadam President @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù 

Please take this message as notice that I am withdrawing my application. I no longer desire membership in the Royal Society. I thank you and the Society for any review you have already conducted of my application and apologize for any inconvenience.

I think my withdrawal may have come before you finished your statement. :) Thank you for the time you took reviewing my application and for acknowledging the merit of my work. When there is new leadership I will reapply hopefully under fairer conditions of consideration.

Perhaps with some time, a new application might be met more favorably. Just a thought.

-Txec R

I vote PER.

-Txec R

WHEREAS the province has gone quiet; and

WHEREAS we need a functioning Cabana and Premieir; and

WHEREAS sometimes one needs to take the bull by the horns;

THEREFORE be it resolved by the Cabana that the following text of 59CL1, which currently reads:

QuoteNominations for Premieir shall be opened by the current Premieir within one month of every National Election. Nomination periods shall be two weeks. The election for Premieir shall commence immediately upon the end of the nomination period. Elections for Premieir shall remain open for a period of two weeks.

Shall be amended to read:

QuoteNominations for Premieir shall be opened by the current Premieir within one month of every National Election. Should the Premieir fail to open nominations, any member of the Cabana who has claimed a seat may open nominations. Nomination periods shall be two weeks. The election for Premieir shall commence immediately upon the end of the nomination period. Elections for Premieir shall remain open for a period of two weeks.

Uréu q'estadra sa: Txec Regeu

As our laws require a two-week voting period, votes will close on October 26.

I vote PER on the nomination of S:reu Françal I. Lux as Premieir of Maricopa.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 12, 2026, 08:53:08 PM@Crement Itravilatx As a preliminary measure to demonstrate good intent I have, across Talossa, withdrawn from several political or societal entry points. That includes active legislation for the Second Clark. This means you are now the primary sponsor but please feel free to also withdraw if you don't want to carry it forward.

Yes I will be the primary sponsor.

Azul S:reu Itravilatx,

Is the main reason for updating this law assigning specific ministers or other government officials?

Thanks

Might you be willing to clarify for King Txec and Miestra as you have added the title to my profile,  I think? That is why I stated I am the Opposition Leader. I think it has to do with the current No votes. Crement voted for the government, ahem, which is certainly not matching with my vote (mentioning that obvious fact for those desperate to tie us politically at the hip.)

Thanks. One issue with reading the latest posts is we don't see the sidebar which lists each person's position.

-Txec R

I would also say that this thread is in danger of being hijacked so we should either move this discussion to another thread or refrain completely.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 12, 2026, 04:25:16 PMJust let me know @Tierçéu Rôibeardescù Ignoring my messages is quite rude. I look forward to a determination on my application.

S:reu Tzaracomprada, some would say repeatedly asking a question with very little time for a response (in this case just over two hours) is also rude. Perhaps give people with lives outside of Talossa a chance to respond? Maybe a day or longer? This kind of behavior is why some people don't respond well to you.

Also, I'm not going to get into an argument with you as to why you might be feeling this way. I'm simply pointing out that nagging is never a good choice to get people to do what you want.

Thanks.

My application has been under consideration since late July. I even mentioned over a month ago I would check in. No response has been received. It is rude to ignore someone and then call their reaction to being ignored nagging. I recognize I am not popular but I am not going to disappear no matter how difficult you make being Talossan.

It is entirely disingenuous to suggest I have made being a Talossan difficult for you. I went so far, in fact, to try to help you rehabilitate yourself to make things easier for you. You conveniently ignored my PM to you in February of this year and I shrugged it off. However, like I said, I'm not going to get into an argument with you over this. Have a great day and enjoy the things that bring you joy.

Azul Riley,

I just noticed you are an ordained minister. I'm curious if that ordination came from a more recognized religious group or some other venue. I myself am also an ordained minister and obtained such through a recognized religious group many years ago after I completed a two-year degree in theology.

I hope this is not taken as disingenuous, as I am genuinely curious. I always thought I wanted to be a priest, but by the time I started discernment in my early 20s, my vocation shifted. I would love for the Kingdom to pursue some form of religious organization. We've had them in the past but they are essentially dead at this point in time. Something non-denominational would be ideal as we have many different religious traditions among our citizens, including our former king being a Deacon of the Orthodox Church.

One of my proudest moments as an ordained minister was when I assisted in the baptism by water of several people in the Jordan river in Israel. That was a spectacular moment in my life. What about you?

-Txec R

Azul Madam President,

I would like to see incorporated in the proposed Charter who the decision-makers are (unless I missed that). Also, we could outline which officers we want such as President, Scribe, etc. Just my initial thoughts.

Quote from: Wyatt Thurel on October 12, 2026, 08:44:36 AMDear members of Talossa,

As a fairly new prospective citizen of Talossa, im trying to get to know the community a little better and what everyones roles are inside of Talossa. If you could spare a moment to reply to this forum, i'd love to hear more about yourself and what part you play in Talossa.

Azul Wyatt,

While I've held numerous roles over the years from Seneschal to Uppermost Cort Justice to Secretary of State, I'm currently (and have been for nearly two years) the King of Talossa.

Welcome!

-Txec R

This is gorgeous.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 10, 2026, 02:10:48 PMYes, we all understand that you have a hard time with someone telling you "no."  That's how you got in this mess.

Ignoring the usual insinuations from our prime minister.
To repeat for public knowledge, I am happy to take the course and resign from the Ziu once a joint statement is posted unsigned and then signed once confirmation of the former is determined.

In the meantime, I will continue on as leader of HM's loyal opposition.

Would you mind explaining how you reckon yourself as leader of the opposition?

I noticed while perusing the Wiki that only my lecture is referenced there. I think it would be a worthwhile task for all of the papers of the fellows to be included.

I also made sure to link the Royal Society to the Organizations section of our Wiki.

-Txec R

When I read the article, noting several references to the author being a researcher and jurist, I was puzzled by the lack of references to the relevant academic literature. One of the hallmarks of academic discourse is the reliance on verifying facts and incorporating the thoughts of other academics. These references form a backbone of new approaches or ideas. This kind of assimilation is common and it often leads researchers to new developments, or confirming concepts through similar research.

I don't think anyone in the Royal Society expects dissertation level writing, but I would encourage the applicant to re-draft the work, including appropriate references, while avoiding the use of artificial intelligence where possible. The use of AI is not original, referential thinking. Please note I'm not discouraging the use of Large Language Models or similar technological developments. However, presenting the work of an AI agent as ones own is disingenuous. I've read numerous scholarly  researched works that, when AI was used, the author noted such usage. We should encourage such transparency in all our academic discourse.

-Txec R

Any further nominations?
