Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on March 18, 2022, 05:23:08 PMPROCESS FOR FILING LEGAL BUSINESS

1. Petitions for any business shall be filed by posting a single message containing your petition or by using private messages to send your petition to the Clerk of Corts.

I remain the Clerk, I guess -- although depending on the nature of the petition, I might ask His Majesty to do the assignment.  I'd still love to be replaced as Clerk, but it's probably not an emergency.

It might be a good idea to get representation.

Excellent, thanks.

Thank you for your service, and we appreciate you very much.  I hope that we'll see more of you socially, if less out of obligation!

I would like to file a petition for injuctive relief but am unsure who would receive the petition. As I read the Cort Rules, we are not to directly post our petition in the Courthouse threads. Do we have a Clerk of Corts? If not, then could you advise on the correct procedures to file the petition?

The Baron Seneschal is the Clerk.

Azul all,

I have always said that what makes the Kingdom of Talossa special is that it allows people to engage meaningfully in activities that they otherwise would not be able to in other contexts. In that spirit I have been pleased to have served as El Capitán da l'Altahál for the past year, recognizing the contributions of citizens who have really made this place their own.

I have no intention of fully withdrawing from Talossa any time soon, but I do have a number of other commitments and I have been trying to reduce how many things I am obligated to look at regularly. This means I will probably be checking in around here less frequently, and, as a result, I am no longer in a position to be a good Captain. I hereby step down from my post effective immediately, with thanks to His Majesty, the Most Honourable Seneschal, and all the members of the Zuoaves.

Best,
Ian P.

P.S. I think this means my only remaining position is that of Puisne Justice, which, given that cases come in at a clip of one or two per year, I think I can manage. You all know where to find me.

IIRC:

The royal title got "Head of the Church, Defender of the Faith" appended in blatant imitation/parody of Henry VIII back when KR1 was self-identified as an atheist. This was simply carried forward until the drafting of the 1997 Organic Law, when Matthias Muth got the word "Unorthodox" added to the title in Article III Section 3 to eliminate any claim to any real church. The "Head of the Unorthodox Church" bit was then deleted by amendment post-KR1 because King John was a member of the Orthodox Church.

Subsequently, we had a massive revision of the Organic Law that completely eliminated the title section. Now the title is codified in El Lexhatx, L6, as:

"__________ (name), by the Grace of God, King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk."

Oh, don't worry -- we're going to keep bugging the Ladintsch Naziunal very regularly.  But he's not our supervisor, and I think it's entirely possible for me to undertake some translation efforts or to ask someone else to do something like that, and then check with him as necessary for accuracy.

I mean, just the other day I dared to translate the Prime Minister's Patriotic Award to "Pretz Pätriotic del Seneschal" all by my lonesome, and then double-checked with him for accuracy.  I don't think that was wrong of me, even though I didn't tell him about my plans to do that ahead of time.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on Today at 02:22:04 PM@Françal I. Lux Does this still need review by the CRL? There are still several days remaining before publishing of the Clark but I wanted to be sure.
Yes, I got the procedure mixed up. Apparently it has to be reviewed by the CRL before being Clarked.

Gotcha, just wanted to check Francal.
