Okay, I think that the announcement's all set.  I might suggest editing the first post here to include some of the same information?

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on Today at 08:21:17 AMI believe PMQs are usually answered spontaneously, instead of being sent the questions and having the answers prepped in advance.

This is inaccurate. PMQs in my country and I believe in Britain are submitted with a few days notice so that the Government can prepare a proper answer. That said, supplementary questions are extemporary.

I'm happy with whichever.

His Majesty also mentioned you'd like a copy of our speech ahead of time?

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on Today at 05:11:15 PMActually, I believe we have strayed too far from the main topic of this thread, namely the "Sense of the Ziu: Restoration of National Honour". If I can't compel MZs to get back on topic, I would least highly encourage everyone to do so.

Yeah sorry bout that :P

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 11:43:44 PMWe need a new history of Talossa. One written without the outrageous political bias of all the previous ones.
Previous ones? Sorry, I'm a relatively new citizen, so I haven't heard about these, but they sure sound interesting

There are two major sources for our early history, both written by King Robert I:

- the 1992 History of the Kingdom of Talossa, which is a very indepth discussion of the Kingdom's first decade or so.
- Ár Päts, a much briefer historical document which was periodically updated until 2008. That said, as Talossan politics became increasingly bitter, King Robert regularly revised it to abuse and smear his political opponents. There is a great example, which I wrote about once, where I compared the same chapter about former Seneschál Tamorán dal Navă before and after he fell out with King Robert.

Actually, I believe we have strayed too far from the main topic of this thread, namely the "Sense of the Ziu: Restoration of National Honour". If I can't compel MZs to get back on topic, I would least highly encourage everyone to do so.

Quote from: Mximo Malt on Today at 04:59:35 PMI really hate that part about Ireland...

So do I, and so do many Irish, but this is what happens when, after independence, Ireland was still a poor country dependent on labour migration to the UK or the US and so speaking English was still an economic necessity.

My sympathy is still with Ireland's first ambassador to the League of Nation, who always addressed that body in French, because he could not speak Irish and he'd be damned if he'd speak English.

Yk I really wish everyone spoke French rather than English as the global lingua franca (and Gaeilge as the main language in Éire)

Give it a few more years and what's left of humanity will be speaking either Russian or Chinese

I'd lean towards Russian (it sounds so pretty to me)

I doubt we will get to choose

I meant to say "I hope it's Russian"

Quote from: Françal I. Lux on Today at 09:02:09 AMWe seem to be lacking a comprehensive account of certain parts of the kingdom's history, particularly what happened from Ben's final years to Reunision and John's coronation.

I know AD has expressed frustration that the Republic's discussion group has gone offline, but the 2004-2020 Kingdom Wittenberg is still online and just requires people to actually read through it and compile the greatest hits.

Well, then we would still have the same problems except that except Anglos being complacent, itd be Francophones. It wouldn't actually solve anything.
