Quote from: King Txec on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 12:24:16 PMWell this is certainly an interesting thing to come up. Has any previous King ever had to make a decision about vacant seats like this? This feels like uncharted waters for sure.

The one instance that comes to mind is in the 38th Ziu, where I think the late Baron Fritz and ex-Seneschal John McGarry got one seat each from King John. (Although I don't quite remember why - probably a write-in vote for a party nobody registered, which happened quite frequently around 2006-2009 because of the turnover in which parties were around.)

QuoteI've worked quite hard to remain nonpartisan so my concern should be understandable. I do like the idea of them being new citizen seats. @Sir Lüc is this feasible?

Yes, it would be completely feasible. Although they would be "seats given to new citizens", not "new citizen seats", so they would work like normal seats and become available again should they be vacated, instead of vanishing. A new citizen would also not be limited to holding just one.

One other thing is that the seats belong to each MC, so they could ask me to represent some other entity than the Independent Progressive, despite the latter having won them at the elections.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 10:44:46 AMRight, I hoped for some feedback (particularly from the Government, which is the centerpiece of the event), but we're gonna go with that minimal program for now, and leave open the floor after the rebuttal for further comments on the Speech, addresses on other matters, or for members who wish to debate bills in the Hopper.

We will attempt to conduct the State Opening on our own platform: the link will be https://riunetz.talossa.com/StateOpening.

Save the date: Sunday, October 25th, at 9 PM Central European / 8 PM British / 4 PM Eastern / 3 PM TDT-Central / 1 PM Western / 9 AM NZDT (of Monday 26th) - https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20261025T200000&p1=157&p2=158

Everyone is welcome to attend, but MZs are especially encouraged to do so. Tagging MZs: @xpb @Françal I. Lux @Duke John @Moinul Moin @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP @Tåltind Furxheir (Ethan Smith) @Barclamïu da Miéletz @mpf @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be @þerxh Sant-Enogat @GV @mximo @Béneditsch Ardpresteir @Baron Alexandreu Davinescu @Eðo Grischun and a separate note for @Breneir Tzaracomprada who is still legally the Leader of the Opposition and is entitled to give the rebuttal, but not to take part in any further debate nor to make any motions.

Is there an estimated time as for how long this will be?

One hour at most. With no rebuttal, if nobody asks to make a further address or to debate anything, we might be done in as little as ten minutes. Hopefully we can get a little chat going at the very least :/

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 16, 2026, 01:32:38 PMI hope that my plans are going to be received well and here's to hoping that I will actually make the stuff listed here.

Well received cool ideas  but I hope they do actually happen. We frequently see program announcements from government in Talossa that don't go anywhere unfortunately.

I don't see any issues with this, so I'd support sending it to Clark.

Quote from: Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir on October 06, 2026, 03:01:11 AMI nominate @Andrïeu Cabischabuerg for basbakan

As the nomination period has ended with only one nomination

I move that we vote

I vote in favour of @Andrïeu Cabischabuerg as Baskaban
With all of my seats

I see no reason to not let this move forward to be Clarked

Folks, I wanted to start a new thread for those interesting in sharing the cuddly Talossans. Please feel free to post pics of the pet members of your family.

Here is my cat, Enso.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on November 24, 2025, 08:16:00 PMI've played tennis since I was young and have been thinking of other areas where we might expand the trend in fantasy Talossan sports. Are there enough tennis fans to support a fantasy competition? I figure it would be around the major tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open) with the first one (Australian Open) starting in January.

Looks like FanSlam could be a good site.

Starting a new thread so as not to necropost. Might folks be interested in a Fantasy Tennis tournament? First grand slam is in January with the Australian Open.

I've worked quite hard to remain nonpartisan so my concern should be understandable. I do like the idea of them being new citizen seats. @Sir Lüc is this feasible?

-Txec R

May I suggest that they could be given as new citizen seats?  It seems like we're going to have a lot of new citizens in the next couple of weeks, so they might want to get involved.
