Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 05:27:24 PMthe referendum on the Fixed Terms amendment gives excellent feedback on where to go from here (and is a shining example for grassroots democracy).

I wonder when the last time was that an OrgLaw amendment failed on referendum.

I was surprised to see that item on the ballot. Was it the result of recent legislation? I stake my claim regardless.

Do let's try to be a little more charitable to our fellow Talossans than that. I don't suppose you've ever played Sid Meier's Pirates!?

Yeah, that was my original question. I'm not sure what there is to investigate as the law seems to be pretty clear.

Quote from: Iac Marscheir on January 05, 2025, 05:58:37 PMEhhh, if renaturalization were a burdensome process, I would probably support having them remain on the rolls until they make their own contact. However, because it isn't a burdensome process, I don't think there's much justification for choosing to, well, stalk them in a sense and try to make contact with them without necessarily having their parents involved.

Let them strike out, and if they decide to contact us, just do the normal renaturalization.

The law was actually changed in the 57th Cosa so Dandelions don't actually get automatic citizenship. They have to request it, which is actually the same effect as if they struck out and had to renaturalize. So I opposed the change but in practical terms it's pretty much the same from the Dandelion's perspective.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on January 05, 2025, 02:11:12 PMUnder the old laws, Dandelions were not in danger of "striking out" of citizenship. So, if their parents "struck out", they would be left on the rolls, with no way of contacting them.

Yes, but they still start "accumulating strikes" at 14, right? I thought "trapped" meant they were stuck on the rolls indefinitely but maybe I misunderstood.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on January 05, 2025, 09:34:20 AM- The Chancery reserves its right to conduct a further investigation of the status of several "trapped" Dandelions, who are present on our rolls but that are uncontactable, as they have no parents presently holding Talossan citizenship.

What is the issue with "trapped" Dandelions? Are there Dandelions whose dates of birth are unknown?

One neat thing about the timing of Flip Molinar Day is that the idiom "turn of the year" is used to refer to the end of one year and beginning of the next. Perhaps in Talossan English the term "flip of the year" will gain currency.

Rest in peace, President Carter!

¡Sa viva el Regipäts Talossan! Happy Independence Day!

¡Så vivadra el Regeu!

Thank you for your many years of service to the nation.

Maybe there would be interest in a genealogical society. I'll make a new post about that.
