So I bought two bottles of scotch yesterday. One is for "everyday" sipping (I don't drink it every day, not even every week so no intervention required!) and the other is for my upcoming 54th birthday. I picked up the Oban 14 for casual scotch evenings and Highland Park 18 for my birthday and other celebratory type of days.

I'm old school so I sipped the Oban while watching my favorite Star Trek series, Voyager. I was pleased with the flavor of the Oban.

I'm very much looking forward to next week when I can try the Highland Park! It will be my first bottle of 18 year old scotch. Has anyone tried it?

Nothing specific, I was looking through the Coletx board and saw this so I was curious. Carry on!

How is this project going?

-REH/Txec R

Well, I can easily resolve most of my own concerns by never appointing a Cunstaval to the province they reside in.

-Txec R

Yeah I'm not really in favor of allowing Cunstavals to also be provincial heads of government. I also believe they should be from a different province.

May I ask why you are writing in what looks like Latin as well as Talossan?

Happy New Year and Happy Flip Molinar Day from the Queen and I. May the new year bring many blessings!

Quote from: Mximo Malt on December 30, 2025, 06:20:59 PMI believe the point RBM was trying to make is that Talossan was only well-known by people in Talossa, not necessarily that Talossan was "forbidden" from being spoken outside Talossa.

No, that was exactly the argument he was making. Namely, that people who are not already citizens need some sort of permission to be able to learn and speak Talossan, lest they commit plagiarism and copyright infringement. You can read that in the links I posted as source.

Va c'hupă, S:reu Tafial! Point aside, I'm not sure there's much he can do about it now since we all speak it without his consent 🤣

Maybe he'll be happy that we're still using it and take it as the greatest form of national pride! That's how I see our Glheþ, as an expression of our Talossan identity!

The point could be made that el Ghelþ is still spoken with the consent of the king as the throne is still occupied and has been so since his former Majesty abdicated. (Though there have been some regencies along the way).

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 30, 2025, 04:37:38 PMAs much as possible, we need to begin expanding the ways in which we interact with each other. We have to move beyond words on a screen and start seeing each other's faces. This will help bridge gaps as we begin to see each other's common humanity.

:) Straight from a Green Party mailer. I am pleased.

I get credit since I made this exact argument in last year's Independence Day Speech!

Ok I lied - one more!


-Txec R

Ok last one for now haha.

This bill will change every PD that has already been signed. I'd suggest grandfathering it in so that only new PDs are affected.

I haven't listened to Chris Ledoux in a long time, but I am a HUGE fan of 90s Country!

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on December 27, 2025, 04:46:17 PMIf you somehow believe that my stance on Ben as a person makes me unqualified to be Ladintsch Naziunal, say it publicly.

He wanted me to, can you blame me? I think not.

You are being rude when it is not called for. You've been here a short time and need to learn some humility. Now, S:reu Malt, I am king here and as the king, I'm asking you to stop insulting people and think before you say hasty things that do not help your cause.

-Txec R

It's better now.

With regret, the Whereas clauses are so loaded with bias and possible untruths, if this bill were to make it to a vote in the Ziu as written, and should it pass, I will veto it. I mean seriously, you weren't even alive in 1979 so saying that President Carter ruled with an iron fist is extremely melodramatic.

There are citizens who were here during his rule and your clauses refute, without any direct knowledge, their experiences.

-Txec R

I would veto any bill that required me to grant any title of nobility to anyone. The granting of honors is a royal perogative. Even if Ben were to return, he will not receive any honors just because of who he once was.
