I would like to caution against something I have seen as a growing trend. We need to stop treating the Chancery as an administrative catch-all. The Office of the Secretary of State is not always the answer for an emergent issue and we appear to have grown far to eager to assume it. The office should have distinct, defined roles making for clear lines of accountability and we should consider an outgoing member of the previous government acting in a caretaker capacity such as the Distain (since this office seldom has any real activity).

@Sir Lüc is this ready to take to the CRL?

WHEREAS the office of the Túischac'h is vacant from the dissolution of the Cosa to their election by the next Cosa;

AND WHEREAS certain functions of Government may be blocked in this period if the Cosa doesn't get around to an election quickly enough;

AND WHEREAS elections for the Túischac'h cannot commence until Cosa election results are finalized and seats are assigned, which cannot happen until the Electoral Commission has finished their work:

AND WHEREAS all these blockages can be easily removed;

AND ALSO WHEREAS the Cosa should have the same autonomy over its rules of procedure as the Senäts does:

BE IT ENACTED that:

1. El Lexhatx B.13.6, which currently reads:

Quote13.6. The Commission shall review and certify the unofficial results within 14 days following the Election Deadline, pursuant to the following subsections.

is amended to read:

Quote13.6. The Commission shall review and certify the unofficial results within seven days following the Election Deadline, pursuant to the following subsections.

2.   El Lexhatx B.13.6,3 which currently reads:

Quote13.6.3. If the Commission, upon a majority vote, confirms the existence of an irregularity which affects the outcome of an election item, it shall correct the problem prior to certification as provided in the following subsections.

        13.6.3.1. If the Commission finds that a vote (or votes) has (or have) not been properly counted, it shall direct the Secretary of State to correct the results as necessary. [41]
        13.6.3.2. If the Commission finds that a vote was cast by an ineligible voter, it shall direct the Secretary of State to invalidate such a vote and correct the results as necessary, and notify the Ministry of Justice of any potential civil or criminal violation. [41]
        13.6.3.3. If the Commission should find multiple irregularities which significantly alter the results of an election, it may recommend to the King that the incoming Cosa be dissolved and a new election be called. In such a case, the Commission shall continue to serve as constituted.

shall be amended by adding the following clause:

Quote13.6.3.4. If the Commission, upon a majority vote, believes that there may be a substantial issue under the terms of this section that requires more time to investigate, the Certification Deadline shall be extended to 14 days following the election deadline.

3. El Lexhatx H.1.1.1, which currently reads:

Quote1.1.1. The State Opening shall be organized and conducted by the Túischac'h and Mençei, working in coordination and cooperation with each other. They shall jointly set the place and time for the meeting to take place. The meeting may take place in person, using video conferencing tools, or on Wittenberg.

is amended to read:

Quote1.1.1. The State Opening shall be organized and conducted by the Túischac'h and Mençei, working in coordination and cooperation with each other. They shall jointly set the place and time for the meeting to take place. The meeting may take place in person, using video conferencing tools, or on Wittenberg. While the office of the Túischac'h is vacant, the Secretary of State shall substitute for them in this role.

4. El Lexhatx H.2.1.5.3, which currently reads:

QuoteH.2.1.5.3. The CRL shall consist of the incumbent Mençéi, Túischac'h, and Avocat-Xheneral.

    2.1.5.3.1. The Mençéi, Túischac'h, and Avocat-Xheneral may at any time appoint and dismiss one Senator or one Membreu dal Cosă, to serve as a member of the CRL in their place.

shall be amended by adding the following:

Quote2.1.5.3.2. While the office of the Túischac'h is vacant, the Secretary of State shall substitute for them in this role.

5. A new section H.4.6. shall be added to El Lexhatx:

Quote4.6. The Cosa shall autonomously determine the rules of its proceedings.

It's certainly possible.  It'd be a herculean task of translation, though.

Parléu al vint

El vint non put üscüdar

Quote from: Retogenes el Caraunio on <strong>Today</strong> at 01:12:13 AMEl vint
El vint m'apoarta tuns mocts,
la lună m'apoarta tu memoraziun,
ferméu vaes uglhen es sovenençéu
las baiçăs es estrençăs qe tu me zonevás.

Tu isch non pü aicì, v'amor,
zespartevás es me laßevás,
me laßevás soleu in l'auscürità
cair utförevás el lux avetz dtu.

El vint resta viénind,
continua apoartind tuns mocts,
ça sint rais da lux in această auscürità,
qi fada granatim.

This would be another topic but since it is related to the wiki, I just ask it here. I could only find this page in Talossan, and I was wondering whether it would possible to have the articles from the wiki also in Talossan, maybe in the same way one can choose another language on the left side of each article on Wikipedia?

Thank you for noticing!  Anything else you see, please let us know.  In a couple of weeks, we'll get you set up with your own account and you can just fix things yourself, lol

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 10, 2026, 11:51:59 AM8.9.4 Should the Royal Archivist position be vacant or the Royal Archivist be unavailable the Scribe of Abbavilla or Deputy Scribe of Abbavilla shall be empowered to effectuate the transmittal or release.

Yes, that is correct. The primary change is in 8.9.4 and accounts for a vacancy in the Royal Archivist position.

Thank you again for taking this one on. :)

Seeing the Shepherds success here with an auto-selected player slate makes me wish that the TCAT had the same option.

The holidays in the calendar are just the preloaded SMF ones; swapping in our own is one of those things that never happened due to me going on a hiatus and noone else picking them back up, like the News and Newsletter features, theme/UI tweaks and fixes, and translating the interface to Talossan. Again, no point in bothering to do any of those now that we're hopefully moving out very soon.
