Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Today at 06:01:37 PMI have been asked repeatedly to change my behavior. The behavior in question, I thought, was saying things to Luc that could make him uncomfortable. I've not done this since well before the Summit, many months ago. So the behavior has not just changed it is nonexistent. Which makes me wonder what behavior you are talking about.
I was asked to make an apology. I made an apology, which was viewed as insufficient. Ok. I made another apology, much simpler which acknowledged responsibility without qualification. That was nearly three months ago. There was no response to it beyond a like from Miestra which was followed by mentioning other things that had nothing to do with harassment.
I have done what you asked.
Repeatedly.
Now you are asking me to take a course and resign from the Ziu.
Again, I am prepared to accept but need proof that this will be the final request with concrete assurances on what is being agreed to so that I, and other tired Talossans, know we are moving on.

Last post by Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC - Today at 05:56:18 PMQuote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Today at 05:46:37 PM1) You mad, bro? You sound mad.
2) Speaking of ultimate motives:Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Yesterday at 11:38:22 AMpersevering against state-sanctioned harassment so that it does not happen to others
would seem to mean "I continue to participate in Talossa just to spite the people who have tired of my participation". An entirely negative motivation.
3) The government parties have an offer on the table that will lead to the lifting of the "official boycott" (i.e. render you eligible for Government roles).
4) Nothing apart from ceasing to be a nag and a jerk will render you eligible for people liking you (or forgetting all the non-Lüc-related ways you've made yourself stink).
5) Possible outcomes here, ranked in order of preference for everyone, including you:
- you change your ways and become a reformed character and stop making everyone hate you.
- you disappear, voluntarily or involuntarily.
- you hang around making everyone miserable, including yourself.

Last post by Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC - Today at 05:47:49 PMQuote from: xpb on Today at 05:08:25 PMQuote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Today at 04:24:43 PMQuote from: xpb on Today at 04:12:12 PMI have always voted in public and I encourage others to do so as well.
Why is that?
Both the first and the second halves of that sentence.
The discrimination in the proposed measure is towards the right of those who state their preference in public at any time that votes are being accepted. The current system preserves the right for a private vote, but does not force temporal restrictions on freedom of speech for those who wish to state their preferences in public. Party lists are likely to vote in a similar manner but certainly have no requirement to do so, and to imply that stating a public vote is to diminish free will is inappropriate.
You didn't answer the question.
The first part is less important, since "because I feel like it" is an acceptable answer.
I'm much more interested in why you think it is preferable for other people to vote publicly.

Wittenberg / Re: General curiosity
Last post by Riley Kenny Clow - Today at 05:22:48 PMHey, fellow reverend! Allow me to provide some context: I was born into a rather secular Christian household. I was christened as a baby, and attended a Church of England primary school. Throughout my youth I've naturally been exposed to the likes of theology and specifically Christianity, though I've always questioned religion. I've grown up thoroughly exploring the depths of philosophy and Abrahamic religion, extending from Islam to Christianity, etc.
In more recent years I had this drive to closen my relationship with the teachings of Christ and follow in the fundamental principles of the Bible, having rather liberal views subject to my experiences with homosexuality and so on. Very recently, me and my boyfriend applied together for ordainment. The spiritual connection it brought was a big appeal for both of us. Not only does the title carry a heavy range of duties but, on a more broad level, comes with immense honour and brings immeasurable pride.
---> That's such a shame religious is practically dead in Talossa. It was something I had considered upon immigrating and would be cool to integrate as has been done before.
---> Exactly what I was thinking. A set religion in the sense that the United States is 'One nation under God' is almost marginalistic, especially where Talossa is built of the backs of immigration and unison from around the world: multiculturalism is key, and certain religious groups in the nation could enhance unity for sure.
---> Wow, that's certainly the dream for any ordained minister. Neither me nor Wyatt have had the privilege to carry out any material duty of ministry, but certainly plan on doing the title proud as we navigate what life has laid out for us. I've attended many baptisms and it certainly inspires me to do good and helps to understand what benefits we can bring.

Quote from: King Txec on Today at 03:39:14 PMI would love for the Kingdom to pursue some form of religious organization. We've had them in the past but they are essentially dead at this point in time

Quote from: King Txec on Today at 03:39:14 PMSomething non-denominational would be ideal as we have many different religious traditions among our citizens

Quote from: King Txec on Today at 03:39:14 PMOne of my proudest moments as an ordained minister was when I assisted in the baptism by water of several people in the Jordan river in Israel. That was a spectacular moment in my life. What about you?
