On behalf of the citizens of Maricopa, we pause this day to remember one of the history's most impactful Regents. HM Queen Elizabeth II, born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor on 21 April, 1926, reigned as the world's second longest monarch behind only Louis XIV. She ascended to the British Throne upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952. Her Majesty's reign saw 16 British Prime Ministers, from Sir Winston Churchill to the newly sworn in Liz Truss, and 14 American Presidents from Harry S. Truman to Joseph R. Biden Jr. 

The people of Maricopa send our most heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom. The world truly moved into a new age today with the passing of the last world leader to serve in the Second World War.

The Queen will always be remembered as an example of faithful service to the people of Her realm. May she forever Rest In Peace and be forever remembered in all our hearts.

Azul,
As my beloved Ministry position was stripped from me during a time of difficultly in my own life, I feel that there is a disconnect from my Party which cannot... in good conscience... be ignored. I truly loved the Defence Ministry, as it was the one place in Talossa that I felt I could make a difference. Clearly, my Party leadership disagrees... removing me without speaking a single word to me directly. In light of this, I hereby resign from the Free Democrats, effective immediately.

Further, I sadly wish to inform the Kingdom and the Crown that... at the end of my term as Senator representing the good people of Maricopa... I currently plan on stepping down from all government roles, including Commandant of the Royal Talossan Marine Corps... a position I have held honorably for nearly a decade, and moving to inactive status.

While I have no intention of renouncing my citizenship at this time, I have over the last year, become incredibly disillusioned with the Kingdom and the political in-fighting that has become a great deal of the entirety of my interactions with Talossa... from my own term as PM becoming so toxic and depressing I had to seek professional help to cope with the mental anguish just being involved was doing to me.

I fully understand, after a single term as Seneschal, what @KingJohn said in his own piece earlier. For me, Talossa has lost its magic and fun. I no longer feel that it is a home, for neither my fun nor energy. I can't say that it wasn't a good experience, because I have enjoyed my time in Talossa and fully intend to represent Maricopa well in the Senate this term. However, I feel it best to begin sundowning my time in the Kingdom. It's been an incredible 7+ years but when it's not fun anymore and you see your own colleagues & Party turn their backs on you, it's time to call it a day. When you no longer feel wanted, why stay when others trust you and respect you elsewhere.

Respectfully,
Gen. Txoteu É. Davinescu, O.SPM

Wittenberg / Apologies & Return to Witt
August 19, 2022, 03:52:11 PM
Azul,
I wanted to hop in and quickly make an apology for my absence as of late. I had several things hit me in my personal life all at once and had to address them. I have not forgotten about the requests and tasks before my Office as MinDef and will be addressing those over the coming two weeks. The last couple of weeks have been busy, mainly good things including 'officially' popping the question (kind of a duh after all these years, but she said yes!) and the planning a simple ceremony in Portugal this fall is now in full swing! I ask that you give me a few days to get reentered and then we will push ahead.

Thanks,
Gen. Txoteu É. Davinescu, O.SPM

To the Squirrel King of Arms,

On behalf of the Ministry, I humbly come before the College to being the process of creating both the long desired formal trappings of the Ministry as a whole and specifically the Ministry's most prominent division... Els Zuávs da l'Altahál Rexhitál (The Zouaves of the Royal Bodyguard). I formally request the College's assistance, as Minister of Defence, in creating designs of Organizational Coats of Arms for both the Ministry and the Royal Guard.

Additionally, as my colleague from Culture previously requested for their Ministry, I would like the College's assistance on Ministry related "Talossan versions of Letters Patent, State Awards, and other physical forms of the trappings of Monarchy and chivalry" in so creating, designing, and presenting to the Ziu for formal adoption those things that serve to recognize serving members of the Ministry (both Military & Civilian) commitment and dedication to the Kingdom... so that these might be presented to the Ziu to be adopted for formal usage within the Kingdom. This will include military & civil service awards, Letters Patent of Enlistment & Commission, and heraldic assistance with insignia for service awards & ranks.

I understand this will be a no doubt daunting effort on behalf of both the Ministry and the College, but I will work diligently with your support to making these goals a reality.

Respectfully,

General Þon Txoteu É. Davinescu, O.SPM

Azul,
As we bring this term to a close, there are a few things that need to be addressed in order to create a smooth transition for whomever my successor may be. First, I wanted to thank Txosuè Roibeardescu for his service as Foreign Minister. At this time, I am formally releasing him from service and appointing Mic'haglh Autófil as replacement.

Additionally, I will be formally assuming the duties of Minister of Defence. I have a few things I would like to address in that role in the coming days, so please stay tuned.

Wittenberg / A Word from the Seneschal
March 17, 2022, 12:10:51 AM
Azul,
I wanted to take a quick moment to once again thank Dame Meistra and Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselva for their assistance over the past few months as I struggled with multiple personal crises. Since some in the political halls think it's perfectly fine to go after people... good, hard working citizens... who have busted their backsides while I did my best to advise from a far, I wanted to share with you exactly what I've dealt with since November.

Numerous Multimillion dollar projects I had to personally address, requiring me to dedicate obnoxious amounts of time securing said projects

My daughters school has had multiple COVID scares, requiring me to stay at home from work off and on for nearly two weeks

The company I had worked for and in three months secured $4.7 million in contracts let me go on December 31st, and as the sole earner in my family... threw my family in chaos

10 days after losing my job and insurance, I contracted COVID and had to spend a week & a half in quarantine away from my children... significantly damaging my mental health and resulted in me returning to receiving mental health services

I started a new job that, while FREAKING AWESOME, has kept me incredibly busy

Three weeks out of four, snow & ice shut down my city and job for two to three days a week... putting me further behind at work.

And last week, my partner's grandmother died of COVID

To say I have dealt with a TON over the past five months is an understatement... plus on top of that, I have not heard from @King John since he approved the Speech from the Throne on August 12th, 2021!

When it comes down to it, life kinda blew up in my face as PM and I'm thankful for the good Doctor and Dame Meistra for holding down the fort... doing their best as I was damn near taken completely out of service by extra-Talossan issues. They've done a wonderful job with limited resources and everyone in the Kingdom owes them thanks.

You have an issue with this Cabinet, the reality is the buck stops with me. You come to me to complain, don't come after Meistra for doing her damn job! I get so sick and tired of people attacking those that are doing work for the Government... the nastiness seen on these boards IS THE REASON immigration is slagging. Who in their right mind willingly comes into a place where everyone is just ugly to each other?!

We are ONE NATION and we need to start acting like it!

I finally have my life back and I can't wait to get back to work making Talossa better! I look forward to serving the good people of Maricopa in the Senate and collaboration with the new Cabinet under Dame Meistra!

Cheers to you all!

Your Faithful Servant,
Gen. Txoteu Davinescu, O.SPM

Wittenberg / Seneschal On Leave - COVID

Azul,
I wanted to touch base and let the Kingdom know I will be on LOA until likely Monday due to COVID. I will still be available but I might take a bit to get back to inquires. Please note, aside from mild symptoms, I seem to be doing fine... just fatigued and common mild symptoms.

I feel incredibly grateful for the vaccine that likely saved my life. Please, I implore you. Get vaccinated!

Cheers,
Davinescù

Azul,

It is becoming far too often that such statements must be made, but tonight... we stand in remembrance and solidarity with the good people of Waukesha, Wisconsin... specifically those killed, injured, or directly impacted by the events at their community's Christmas Parade.

As an Oklahoman, I have seen these kind of tragedies far too often, including the Oklahoma State Homecoming Parade crash just six years ago in Stillwater.

These senseless attacks on peace and communities throughout our Big Neighbor and around the world have to stop! These incidents accomplish nothing but heartbreak and the loss of lives with so much ahead of them... like the five lost this evening in Waukesha.

I ask you all to keep these innocents, many just children, in your thoughts in the coming days. May their families be comforted, may those taken Rest In Peace, and may the perpetrator of this heinous act face the full power of the laws of the United States.

Wittenberg / The University of Talossa Reimagined
September 22, 2021, 09:37:54 PM
Azul,
I wanted to reach out to my fellow Talossans and get you opinion on something I have considered for quite some time... breathing new live in The University of Talossa.

I see it as a straightforward, useful tool in aiding citizens of the Kingdom in academic and professional development.

If a new and revised University was opened... would you be interested, what courses would you like to take, would you be willing to join the faculty and help develop courses?

Cheers,
Seneschal Davis, O.SPM

Wittenberg / An Apology
July 05, 2021, 06:32:05 PM
Azul,
I wanted to take moment and publicly acknowledge a stumble I took in trying to resolve a Coalition issue. Specifically, I came across a bit more forcefully to the leader of former Coalition partner TNC. In my attempt to come across seriously, to our partner... I came across as threatening.

This was not my intention but in my attempt at being as transparent as as possible, I wanted to acknowledge this stumble on my behalf and apologize publicly. As I said in my personal apology to their leader, I want us all to work together as a team for a better Talossa. That includes leaders at all levels admitting a screw up and working to correct it.

Further, I want to ensure all Talossans understand that, under my leadership... I encourage open communications at all times. If there is any issue, before it becomes totally out of hand... come talk to me. I welcome the opportunity to address problems as they arise as that is the core of effective leadership.

Thanks,
Txoteu Davinescu, O.SPM
