Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on October 05, 2026, 01:28:01 AMCorrect, effective Thursday I ceased to be the Governor of Florencia.

Madam Cunstaval @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir

I am not for certain but I believe you are the one to appoint a new governor?

I believe that the nimlet needs to attempt to choose a governor for itself before the crown intervenes

Last time the crown intervened because the nimlet failed to agree on a candidate

If the nimlet fails to decide on a candidate and after which, invites the crown to intercede via a resolution of the nimlet, then and only we may do so
At least this is what i remember from last time.

Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir
Cunstaval of Florencia

Thanks Madam Cunstaval, I nominate @mximo for Governor

I would remind you that they are not eligible under the constitution as a sitting senator. But you don't have to chose someone from your province

(Am interceding here to prevent a repeat of last time)

Thanks so much! Hmmm, I nominate myself then.

@mximo @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir @Crement Itravilatx  I have nominated myself. Any second to that nomination or to proceed to a vote?

I second the nomination. Let the conspirators conspire to block it now.

Thank you Crement. I am not going to nag in the hopes we can move on this matter eventually.

Anyway, for everyone else:

The map will be changing a bit before publication.  I have switched in all the correctly-accented labels (easy enough) and adjusted that border to follow the onramp (more annoying, but still done).  I have also been fiddling with the spacing, since it seemed too busy with all the infoboxes on the sides.  I think I can scrunch them down without making them seem cramped.

Acest cavalair paxharha per toct. Graschcias!

Whereas, "imagine the worst job you ever had. Even on the worst days you eventually got to go home where you could rest, complain about your boss, and even for a few hours do what you wanted. Now imagine having that same job, but you could never leave. Your home was at the job site. You can never complain. You can never quit. You can never "go home" because the nightmare is home," and

Whereas, according to the Global Slavery Index there are more than 50 million human beings in modern enslavement, and

Whereas, slavery is one of the most grotesque attacks on the dignity of individual human beings and humanity as a whole, and

Whereas, Talossa is composed of people descended from human beings who were enslaved, and

Whereas, freedom being a deeply Talossan value leads our people to call for the freedom of all peoples.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, to denounce the continued practice of slavery and to call for all necessary measures to ensure its end.

Just wanted to share this terrifying Black Mirror clip from the episode "White Christmas," I came across on YouTube. I don't recall seeing the specific episode:

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 08:09:35 PMMy response answered your question, and I posted it right after your comment.  Please read posts in a thread before responding.

Alternatively, if you have a question you feel didn't get addressed, try sending a private message with a direct inquiry.

So you did not quote me or tag me then. Like you have not done now either on this reported response. Please do so in the future as it helps people know you responded. If I do not see your responses I will ask, publicly, as necessary.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 07:53:18 PMYes, if you nag you will often eventually get a personal response.  But you insist on nagging in public, after short periods of time, over and over.  It's really obnoxious.  You didn't even read my response to see that it answered your question about print size.

Alex, did you tag me? Did you quote respond? How would I know that you responded? If I do not get an answer, like a normal person, I ask again. When you do not respond do not be surprised when someone asks the question again. Ignoring someone is rude.

I heard you, which is why I already stated the intended print size is large.  See above for dimensions.

The nagging is really annoying.

A response prevents repeated enquiring in the future. Please just respond and then people won't nag you. Please see the Royal Society for an example of this.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 10, 2026, 01:58:38 PMI will maintain this stance indefinitely, until such time as you take steps to rehabilitate yourself by resigning from the Cosa and undertake this educational course in how to understand and prevent sexual harassment of all kinds.

Brandon please allow me to co-sponsor your bill?

Yes, of course, hun. I'll add you now.

I've added you as a co-sponsor. Others are, of course, welcome. Nice work on the Activity Thread, as I think that will be useful for voters once pomp and promise time comes around. It is never far away honestly.

I don't know if Talossa has one specific goal. Much like meaning in life it is determined by the dreams and needs of each citizen. My goal in Talossa is to contribute to something greater than I as an individual. And thus to leave a legacy of improvement that speaks of my story when I no longer can. In.the past this has meant politics with the BHAID and Senses of the Ziu on important matters. More recently it has meant persevering against state-sanctioned harassment so that it does not happen to others.

Even the bitter parts of life through appreciation of all experience can have sweetness. I therefore think Talossa can be another way that we explore our humanity whether through the light or the darkness.

Quote from: Liz Quiehui on Yesterday at 09:30:34 AMDear President and Council Members,

Thank you very much for your dedicated time in reviewing my application and for providing this institutional feedback. I highly respect the academic rigor and standards maintained by the Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge.

I sincerely appreciate your encouragement to develop my work further. I will carefully take your guidance into account to refine the research methodology and integrate proper primary sources and citations. Wishing you all a wonderful and happy weekend ahead.

Respectfully yours,

Liz Quiehui

Liz, as you work on a new application, please let me know if you need any help. I would be happy to help.

This is fantastic hun! I would suggest submitting questions to government ministers (terpelaziuns) to supplement this. Let me know if you need help.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 10, 2026, 03:08:37 PMSo when the time comes, I will publicly announce:

QuoteBreneir Tzaracomprada sexually harassed another citizen.  No one deserves to be treated this way -- there is nothing more important than the safety of our citizens.  After being confronted with his behavior, Breneir spent a year refusing to apologize in a real way, but eventually acquiesced.  For most of us, this wasn't enough to begin to treat him like any other citizen.  It was too hard to forget that he'd hurt someone else or that he didn't really seem to care.

However, Breneir has now resigned from the Cosa and has undertaken an educational course.  These are both good first steps to show that he wants to begin to learn and change his behavior.  Everyone deserves to be safe and not feel like being in our public square might make them a possible target.  We hope that, if he decides to remain a citizen, that this is becomes a chance for him to start a new chapter of his time here.

And I will give this statement my full support, should it ever be warranted.

*claps*

@Sir Lüc

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.)

I'm not sure how large this is designed to be printed but much of the text is hard to read which would not make it an accessibility-friendly document. We should mindful of diverse experiences when producing materials.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 10, 2026, 03:08:37 PMActually, you know what?  I think this is a great lesson.  Breneir wants to make a bargain.  We told him no, but he's already shown that he can't understand what that means. 

But since right now he's just an offender who really doesn't seem to understand that "no means no," it's maybe more important that he start learning.

So when the time comes, I will publicly announce:

QuoteBreneir Tzaracomprada sexually harassed another citizen.  No one deserves to be treated this way -- there is nothing more important than the safety of our citizens.  After being confronted with his behavior, Breneir spent a year refusing to apologize in a real way, but eventually acquiesced.  For most of us, this wasn't enough to begin to treat him like any other citizen.  It was too hard to forget that he'd hurt someone else or that he didn't really seem to care.

That's a nice poison pill you present. I, having some self respect, choose not to take it. When you are serious about this I will be ready, Alexandreu. In the meantime this thread will be proof of your intent to draw this out even longer than it needs to.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 10, 2026, 02:36:39 PMI promise you that exactly no one was shocked that you found an excuse to avoid these steps towards rehabilitation.  We could easily leave a permanent note in La C'hronica for each month which reads, "This month, Breneir found a reason to avoid confronting the consequences of his actions."

Alexandreu, seriously if you wanted me out of the Ziu and to take the course then a simple statement is not much to do. You are this close to getting rid of me but have decided that taking a hard line (suddenly) on joint statements is more important. If I wanted to "avoid the consequences" of my actions then simply leaving Talossa would probably have been the move so that is a silly line. You can do better than that. :)
