Yes, Your Majesty.

Quote from: King Txec on Yesterday at 03:00:02 PMI have the grant mostly written and it looks like the request from Moinul Moin  is complete but I'm not sure if Tåltind Furxheir (Ethan Smith) ever actually accepted his final product. Also, the image generated by Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be looks to be too small (it may be cropped).

For the College's reference, S:reu Furxheir and I had a conversation over Discord prior to my posting the proposal, he said he liked the arms as they were.

Is the image not coming through correctly for Your Majesty? It's 1000 x 1198, I would hope that would be large enough...

So just to verify - there are two arms to grant. I've got it mostly written up so I don't think I'll need any assistance.

It looks like that's the whole ball of wax for awards this time around.  When I open that image, it's a pretty good resolution even when I enlarge it.

Any volunteers to help His Majesty with the grant?  @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat ?  @Cresti d. I. Nouacastra?

We're going to add it to the next honours, @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be .

@Béneditsch Ardpresteir , what do we think at this point?

XPB, we Belacostan Cjovani adopted bocce as our "official" subcultural sport...because a lot of prominent Belacostans are Italian, and also because bocce ball sets are easier to come by, and there are several local bocce courts we can play in. (Vitxalmour Conductour and I once visited a local park, with the intention of hiking thru the woods, enjoying nature...we found there was a bocce court on the premises! Luckily, I had my bocce ball set in the trunk of my car, so we played our first ever game on a proper bocce court.) (I won, lol.)
I've looked into pétanque because the balls are smaller and more portable. My bocce set is heavy and a pain in the butt to haul around.
Anyhow, we came up with some Talossan terminology for our bocce games. Here they are:
Baiça Françal - "French Kiss". Buci term. "Kissing the fanny", a bocce tradition believed to have originated in France's Savoy region, requires losing teams (who have failed to score a single point) to kiss an image of a woman's bare buttocks
Balineu  -  the pallino, the small ball in bocce
Bola da Buci  -  bocce ball 
Buci  -  bocce. Bocce was introduced to Cjováni culture by Taiwos, who once bought a set of bocce balls to try to find an outdoor activity to keep his grandkids occupied. The kids didn't care for it, so Taiwos lugged the set up to Conductour's house one day. After a few games, Taiwos and Conductour were hooked. Initially, they called the way they played bocce "bolextrema", or extreme bocce, for, unlike the well manicured outdoor bocce courts they had seen, they played in Conductour's hilly and overgrown backyard. They quickly formed A.B.B.A., which, as far as we know, is Talossas only regularly active sports league. Eventually, Taiwos acquired a book about bocce, which  lead him to scrap the term 'bolextrema'. "According to the book", Taiwos said, "what we'd been playing was not particularly extreme in the bocce world." 
Iral da buci  - bocce court.
L' cäps d'Umberto Granaglia  -  Awarded by ABBA to the winner of their annual Tournament of Waterloo, L'Cäps d'Umberto Granaglia is a collectible sports card bearing the likeness of Umberto Granaglia, who is widely considered to be the greatest buci player in that sport's history.
Rafà - buci term. A fast rolling shot intending to knock an opponent's bola away or to direct the balineu to a new position.
Reverse Hooligan  -  buci term. Falling on ones back when tossing a buci ball.
Triple Miestra  -  buci term. When one has three of their balls closest to the balineu.
These are all the terms related to bocce from our Cjovani lexicon. I doubt they will be helpful to you, but may encourage you.
Ignore the crickets. Go ahead and make pétanque the official leisure sport of Cezembre. In doing so, you will forge an alliance with the Belacostan Cjovani, who enjoy a similar sport.
In Talossa, it seems easier to just make something official by actually doing it regularly, than to make laws around it.
