It would be fun to make it Talossa-themed somehow.  Like the total numbers could go to 59, a number with mystical Talossan significance.  Each person can buy a number -- as many as they wish, in order.  If no one has that number, the total rolls over to the next lottery.

Ah yes, I see your point. Would multiple people be able to buy the same number? And split it evenly amongst the correct pickers (if any)?

How should we have it? Should we make it
Pick 5 numbers between 1-80
Or
Just sell individual tickets, we start them at 1 and the next buyer gets #2 so on and so forth.

Would we ever consider a national lottery? Maybe 1 or 2 people could set up a team that aren't allowed to enter. Numbers would be randomly drawn.
Prices would be figured out, but we could perhaps do it as
10% goes towards running Talossa.
20% goes towards a charity of the winners choice.
The rest goes directly to the winner.
Just an idea, it sounds silly I know.

Can baking be added?

Of course. What recipe do you have?

Coconut marshmallows.
My grandmother makes them but not sure how, will have to ask her for the recipe.

Can baking be added?

I love the "Talossa's Newest Citizen" thing, and I hope that can be carried forward in the future.  Good show on @Mic'haglh Autófil for inventing that.

Caleb, typically we're a "make your own fun" kind of place, where you can seek out to get involved in anything particular you're interested in.  Unfortunately, there's not a lot happening these days.  There used to be multiple media outlets (newspapers, podcasts, websites), active initiatives (like the Zuavs), clubs or activities (like the Three Word Story or the Talossan Science Fiction & Whiskey Society), or translation efforts (like the Berber of Seville).  But for a variety of reasons that can't be blamed on any one person in particular, almost all of these things are defunct at this point.  That's actually been a central problem for a while: there's nothing happening, so people aren't interested, so nothing happens.

However, in really just the last couple of weeks some folks like Breneir and Mic'haglh have worked hard to start creating some new ideas and projects.  So if you're interested in cooking or media work you should ask Breneir what he needs help with (he's almost done with a cookbook and planning a media thing), and if you're interested in fantasy sports you should join Mic'haglh's Talossan Football plans.

Beyond that, you can start your own thing on whatever topic that interests you.  Or if you have energy and are just generally looking to be helpful, there's definitely some things that need to get done that I can point you to and that anyone can do.

I've recently resigned my job, so have a lot more spare time than I did. Point away!

Hey Caleb, your presence and interest are most appreciated. New citizens are the life blood of the Kingdom. Check out the What's Happening in Talossa (which is stickied under the Wittenberg threads) and contact any of the people listed if there is a project you want to contribute to.

Of course, if you have an interest or hobby that is not yet celebrated in the Kingdom just bring it forth. Whatever your interests are the Kingdom is big enough to accommodate them.

I'd definitely be keen to try and revive the Citizenship Certificates :)

I feel like I could be doing more as Talossa's Newest Citizen. If there is anything anyone could suggest, send it my way :)
If anyone needs help whatsoever, please ask me and I will do my absolute best to try and assist.

It's also not a big deal - he's like the first new citizen since I made the thing, I think!  @Caleb Frenibuerg , did you get a chance to look at the file linked above?  If so, I'd love it if you could tell me if it's helpful or if it fails to answer any big questions you might have.

I couldn't see anything wrong with it, quite informative :)

Oh, it's definitely done?  You said before there might be changes from other people in the Government.  Glad to hear it's all set.  @Caleb Frenibuerg , did you find it helpful when it was sent to you after your oath?  I'd love any feedback.

To be fair, I don't recall receiving any Information Packet 😅

I apologize for any inconveniences made.

What is your name?
Caleb Frenibuerg

What is your request?
If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs.

What is your favourite colour?
Green

Do we currently have Identity Cards that can be purchased/obtained? I saw a post about a questionnaire to obtain one but not sure if we have the option to have one as of yet.

I don't really have a comment on the possibility of vaccination passes but I will say Happy 20th birthday as it looks like you recently had a birthday.

I did! Thank you!
