Quote from: Mximo Malt on January 19, 2026, 07:06:26 PMHow does one be a citizen of two provinces simultaneously?

They can't. The custom is for a Cunstaval to be a citizen of a different province than the one they reside in.

Quote from: Béneditsch Ardpresteir on January 14, 2026, 12:44:54 PMI'd take on this project, but I must caution the prospective armiger that Purpure (Purple) is a shade that is hardly allotted in Talossa.

BenArd, the SKA

Do you know why that is?

From my understanding, our rules of heraldry state that the use of purple is to be mildly discouraged. This likely stems from the fact that purple has traditionally been reserved for royalty.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on January 16, 2026, 02:28:07 PManother weakness it shows is that s.4 is entirely in the passive voice - it doesn't say who administers Talossawiki.

I noticed that but it really wasn't my place to change the wording and indeed probably not even my place to edit the grammar, but the English teacher in me couldn't resist so I hope the MC didn't mind.

WHEREAS our TalossaWiki media contains many pages which are supposed to neutrally and factually detail many aspects of Talossa and its activity, and should not contain political attacks, nor harassing statements;

BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that Article "J. Wittenberg" of the Statutory Law is renamed "J. Wittenberg and TalossaWiki", and is amended by the addition of the following articles:

4. A wiki tool, called "TalossaWiki" is made available to all Talossan citizens, allowing them to create and enrich pages related to all aspects of our kingdom, including entities such as the State, the Government, the Provinces, culture, politics, the law, and pages providing biographies of Talossan citizens,
5. The update of all Wiki pages is made voluntarily by citizens of Talossa.
6. The sections of TalossaWiki which provide vital information must remain neutral and objective and shall report facts and not opinions. Inclusion of opinions should be limited to political party members on their specific political party pages, or to citizens on their own personal citizen pages.
7. Any citizen or group of citizen who feels attacked or insulted by a comment on any Wiki page can raise a case to the Court of Justice, after unsuccessful attempts to solve the matter by discussion.

Notwithstanding the several grammatical errors which I presume would be fixed before Clarking, clause 7 is way too vague. Feeling attacked or insulted should never be grounds for a criminal case. Insults occur all the time, so should any insult anywhere be grounds for a criminal case? I think that terms such as libel would be more effective and much more in line with Organic law (not to mention more easily defined by a Cort or legal representative).

Also, I've bolded the grammar errors so they can be fixed (I also know that English is not your first language so errors are completely understandable). The English teacher in me couldn't help notice. For example, only proper nouns should be capitalized, and words like "citizen" and "political party" are not proper nouns. Later today, if you would like, I can make the edits for you and repost the bill in this thread.

As it premieres one day after my birthday (which is tomorrow) I plan on cracking open my new bottle of Scotch and watch it. I love that The Doctor from Voyager is in this show and I'm very curious to see Holly Hunter in it as well.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on January 13, 2026, 11:36:20 AMI am re-upping this appeal and think it is a good idea to encourage the donation from the funds raised go to cancer research as the scourge has touched the lives of many Talossans.

Please do join me in contributing.

Donating is a worthy cause. While the Queen and I donated a couple thousand dollars to charity last month I don't know if we will be able to give to this concern (I donated $300 to the American Cancer Society as one of the donations), but I do encourage Talossans in general that when possible, giving to those in need is always a good thing to consider doing.

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?

-Txec R

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

-REH/Txec R

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.

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!
