Paging @mximo

Thank you hun for your support. @Crement Itravilatx

We are a small party but are always okay with getting bigger. We desire a Talossa where politics is a feature not the feature of national culture. And a Talossa where politics is not used to run people out or ostracize but to bring people together.

Agree? Join us and as the American civil rights legend, John Lewis, urged "we will make good trouble together."

• Constitutional amendment vs. constitutional overhaul -- should the current constitution be amended in specific places, or replaced outright?
• Form of the Executive -- should Florencia keep the current method of choosing the provincial executive? Should some alternative -- direct election, collegiate executive, etc. -- be implemented instead? Is legislative confidence necessary, or would some other form of democratic mandate be preferred?
• Form of the Legislature -- is the current "Real Nimlet" method of partisan election still preferred, or would Florencians prefer something like the "citizens' assembly" model used in some other provinces?
• The Legislative Process -- from V-C Tzaracomprada's statement above regarding Article IV, it would appear that amendments to Florencia's legislative process may be worth examining in further detail. I invite him to expand on this point at his leisure.

With thanks to Governor Autofil, I offer my own answers to the agenda items.

-I support a full constitutional overhaul.
-The current structure of the Provincial Executive has in this most recent episode demonstrated its weaknesses. The Governor is aware of my sympathies for a collegial or directorial executive so I would support that. But I would also be in support of a highly limited and purely administrative executive office with the legislature being in nearly all matters supreme.
-I am in complete support of moving towards a citizens assembly model used by other provinces. (And would also recommend the creation of a provincial secretary of state to cover scribery-like, election, and record-keeping duties). This body should review the successes of Fiova and Belacosta. I have done this personally and moved to enact examples here in Talossa.
-If we move toward an overhaul with a limited administrative executive then I think the Article IV reforms may not be necessary.

Checking in. This post was about two weeks ago. Any deliberation is welcome.

Congratulations and welcome, No·ac'h!

I'd love to do this! (I was addicted to the PlayStation hockey game for awhile.)

Just checking in quick with either the SKA or SVA to ensure this doesn't get forgotten. :)

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on March 20, 2026, 03:36:56 PMOne other suggestion for the Baron: roast vegetable salad. Diced sweet potato, red onion, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli on a tray in the oven, toss with mixed greens. Use the leftover vegetables with eggs in a hash for breakfast one day on the weekend. Simple, versatile, tasty.

We do the roast vegetables and will often have them with eggs, although I'm not sure we ever have had them in a salad.  I wouldn't have thought of that -- I'd guess you have to dice them pretty small so that big chunks of veggies don't overwhelm your lettuce?

The general rule of thumb that we use is "cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise, then size the sweet potato and onion to match". SP cubes end up being about 3/4" - 1" on a side. The broccoli florets are basically just left as they are, lol.

Congratulations and welcome, No·ac'h! Since you're not just a Talossan, but a Belacostan (congrats on that by the way), as the Governadeir I thought I should probably let you know of a few things:

- New Belacostans who immigrate during the middle of a Provincial Assembly session have the right to claim a seat.
- You can also pick a canton and sextieir of the province to be assigned to (or have one assigned to you). This doesn't really do anything, apart from encourage you to look into local landmarks/features.

Azul all! As Talossa prepares to wrap up the second season of our fantasy hockey league, it seems fair to assert that ice hockey has become one of our more popular national sports (after cycling and of course Talossan football).

But what about playing it a bit more immersively, instead of just numbers and stats on a screen? There's a game for that. It's called Puck, and it's free on Steam.

It's pretty straightforward: first-person view, you use WASD to move around, and your mouse controls your stick. It's the finessing that makes it tough. You can play a private practice session on your own computer, or hop in to someone's server to get some experience. I would definitely recommend practicing shooting a bit if you want to be accurate. On the other hand, if we're all roughly equally bad, then the games should be entertainingly close, right?


I was thinking we could try and do a game of 3-on-3. Maybe if we get really lucky, there could be a three-team round-robin deal? It depends on when people are free and how many are interested. This is just to gauge initial interest, put a feeler out there.

Perhaps if all finals is a bit much you can start by voting on the category(ies) that interests you most?
