That was a great effort by you as a government minister and I am pleased to see this activity, XPB. But I want to reiterate we should also encourage organic activity without things being juked by government to show there exists a sustained and healthy culture.

The Photo Initiative has two responses (one from me and one from Moinul who started it.) The Hockey League is good and it is great we are seeing a spike in requests from the College. What else? I am working on the Talossan Book of Cuisine and hopefully something from Fora Talossa.

I think we've identified two sets of activities and a thread which has unfortunately received few responses. I would welcome naming more if they are out there. I am particularly interested in examples that do not involve government as I have seen those be announced and then peter out (TalossAssistant is the current example I am observing).

We should have a good assessment of activity at a specific point in time. It makes for valuable comparisons in the future should there be future claims of a crisis.

Here is another version,

Good, could you please take the background in light green from the first example, and put it instead of the grey that is behind the flag in the second example so there is more contrast? The rest is great.

I believe we're well beyond the end of the two-week voting period- congratulations @Andrïeu Cabischabuerg ! I will update board permissions soon.

I remain available to assist you in amending your Constitution to pre-empt the 2-seat issue I mentioned above.

We did, but I've been remiss in assigning people. I better get back on that!

Not sure if we ever brought it back, but I'd be happy to volunteer as a Talossa assistant to new citizens!

I was also going to invite Ben.

"Some" "of the combatants!"??  I know Xheralt talks to us, but the only other person who is neither dead or Ben is JJ.  Is JJ talking to us now??

I thought this Reddit thread on the heraldry subreddit was pretty funny: https://www.reddit.com/r/heraldry/comments/1xtmtoc/what_is_the_simplest_yet_worst_blazon_youve_seen/

As we move into the next month of an outrageously productive term, we'd like to keep the good vibes going -- we'd like to make a video.  What do you think we should make our next short-form video for promotion about?

We might well do more than just one of these, but we'll definitely produce a video on whatever the top choice ends up being... and don't hesitate to sing out if you have better ideas!
