This is why I have such trouble with the Talossan language (or any other language for that matter) I am trying to translate my team name for the Talossan Cycling into Talossan and there are multiple possibilities for each word. Someone please help! My team name is Dead Last (as in last place if that helps)

I don't know if I am allowed to comment here or not, if not please disregard and delete my comment.

I had a private conversation with the Baron about this issue and Miestra Schiva just made a point much more succintly than I did.

I worry that this could easily become a tool for political adversaries. I also worry about the idea of someone making a statement to a third party in private that they were offended or uncomfortable and then that being used to prosecute the offender. I fully agree that any prosecution has to be victim led and more public. It cannot be something like me saying something to the Baron in private that I was offended by something Miestra said to me and then the Baron prosecuting Miestra. I'm sorry I'm not more eloquent in my speechifying LOL

Welcome to the Progressive Alliance!

This is our public noticeboard, where we post information, perspectives, and advertisements.  Our political party is most known for several key facts:

• We were the first Talossans on the moon.  We claimed the Sea of Tranquility for the Kingdom of Talossa, and it has been subsequently renamed the Ocean of Dissonant Noise.  This was down out of sheer spite.
• After an initial 1000% tariff on Talossan goods, we engaged in extensive negotiations with the American president.  We also bribed him with twenty louise and some hard candy we found in our pocket.  He withdrew all of the tariffs.
• Progressive Alliance members ("Progs" for short) are not monotremes.
• Following a war of conquest throughout mainland France, a Progressive Alliance army successfully annexed Marine Le Pen's backyard in Millas.  We aren't sure what we're going to do with it, but for now we're just blaring Rick Astley from big speakers on repeat.
• No member of the Progressive Alliance has ever lied.

Because I notice these things...I believe you meant "done" out of sheer spite. I am fully onboard with this statement though! However I may be a monotreme as I am not sure what that means (I think it is some sort of animal)

The lack of action on this issue by the party in charge can really only be caused by one of two things. Either laziness or they are trying to hide something. My tendency is to believe it is laziness, what really is there to hide unless there is some way the leaders are stopping immigration or stealing from the accounts (which I can't imagine).

I have said almost since the beginning of my citizenship that Vuode is a dead province and should probably be merged with another province. More proof is going on right now. We have no provincial government, currently have no senat representation, we have a winner of the senatorial election but the winner has yet to be seated. I doubt that we have more than two or three active citizens. Very sad.

I nominate Baron Alexandreu Davinescu

I might know someone who can help us out, he has experience in kidnapping royalty. So my brother knew this guy in prison who had a brother and his friends, uncle has a friend whose father had a friend who had a niece whose boyfriend once participated in something like this...I might be able to get in touch with him.

We're going to need to drop in from the air ducts. We will need to have the body double ready to go, and we will lower him in. He's ready to take over as soon as we get the real King out of there.

As the professional driver in the party...I volunteer to drive the getaway car!!!

It appears that no one claimed a seat in the Estats Xhenerais. Does this mean that we go without a provincial government this term or does the old Estats Xhenerais remain seated? I'm very confused.

Congratulations to our new Senator  Éovart Grischun receiving 100% of the vote! I hope you are more knowledgeable than I was in the office. Sadly I think Vuode is a dying province with very little participation amongst the citizenry.

I'm still here, not much use but I am here

Needs more "ping" when you're out of BBs (or would it make more sense when you're out of CO2?)

It takes two C02 cartridges, and they run out in seconds when you fire on full-auto. (Growing up, I had the "Red Ryder" gun of "A Christmas Story" fame. Even after my dad bought me my first real rifle when I was 13 (a Remington 572), I'd still usually plink more with the BB gun. Well, ammo was cheaper, and you can't really fire a real rifle in your backyard, at least where I lived.) This fully automatic BB gun is like a childhood dream come true.
I've thought about American "gun culture", but it's something you don't notice if you've grown up in it. Growing up, I thought everyone had a gun cabinet in the house. It was as normal as having a tv. Luckily, my parents took pains to educate me early on not to mess around with guns until I'd been properly trained on using them. My Dad started me out on shooting when I was pretty young. Him buying me a rifle at 13 was like a rite of passage, he finally saw that I knew how to safely use guns, and bought me my own. Eventually I met people who didn't own guns, and who thought me getting my own rifle at 13 was irresponsible parenting. I dunno. Maybe it's a southern thing. Anyhow, I've never shot anybody (yet).

Hell I can remember kids in high school having gun racks in their cars with rifles or shotguns in them so they could go hunting after school (amazingly no one ever got shot or felt threatened)

Perhaps we can start a little smaller and declare war on Wisconsin???

LOL Well hell in that case I'm pretty sure we will...still get deported LOL
