Azul, Tratxan!

I will note that the use of purple as a color is "mildly discouraged" by our Rules of Heraldry. However, a darker green would be absolutely fine.

As you have not (yet?) been granted a knighthood, you are not eligible for a motto, but I think we could likely come up with a good heraldic representation of el Glheþ, if one does not already exist? (Not sure if anyone else in the Coletx knows if we have a good one somewhere...)

Quote from: Moinul Moin on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 11:56:20 AM@Tratxan dal Muotă, Do you have any particular preferences or ideas for your Coat of Arms, such as base colours, symbols, or other elements you'd like included?

-OAF

Yes, it possible I would like it to have dark purple and dark green colours, the silhouette of an ancient Greek helmet like this one or like this one, and a normal cross.

If possible, I would like it to have the text "Va Dïeu es va glheþ".

We received eight immigration applications: Riley, Wyatt, Heinrich, Ashik, Max, Retogenes, Baraka, and Nolan.

Quote from: xpb on November 03, 2026, 10:25:04 PMnow footwear - which can be mirrored



but should green be on the left as worn or as observed opposite? 

I see in the wiki the flag is green over red in times of peace, but when hing vertical should green then be on the right or left as observed?

If this were a flag, would argue that the "normal" top edge of the flag should be the on the observer's left when hung vertically. A quick sample shows that this is the case for other flags, including the flags of the United States, Germany, Estonia, and Poland.

For footwear, the question is: are you the observer of your own shoes? In that case, heraldic rules would say yes; the dexter/right side of an escutcheon is to the observer's left, and vice versa.

Hello everyone!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Today</strong> at 11:37:37 AMI will take your suggestion that new citizens be automatically put into the pipeline for other things under consideration, and I thank you for it.

Thank you. I offer my assistance should it be desired.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Yesterday</strong> at 02:57:21 PMYou became the the Leader of the Opposition because you were "the leader of the party with the most Cosa seats assigned to MCs who voted NON on the last Vote of Confidence," and that will be true until the next Clark or until "the members of the Opposition decide otherwise by majority vote" (Lexh.H.4.3).

Seems like a clear need for updating if this allows for people who have resigned from the Ziu to be designated as LOTO. This is an odd situation (maybe only to the person who is claimed to be LOTO?)

I think I will submit a legislative proposal to the Hopper based on this odd situation. But it will need a sponsor.

I guess I'm not sure what you imagine could be happening, beyond what is? You have citizens who haven't been as engaged getting involved, like Iac, you have relatively new citizens getting more involved, like Moinol, and you have brand new citizens jumping in with both feet, like Nolan. I mean, you're so busy that you need two accounts. Things are moving pretty well, and we're on an upward trend.

I will take your suggestion that new citizens be automatically put into the pipeline for other things under consideration, and I thank you for it.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on <strong>Today</strong> at 10:38:44 AMYour question doesn't make any sense. There's a lot of things going on, and we've gotten several new recent active citizens. The government is working on all kinds of stuff, both visibly and non-visibly, to engage with the people and bring new people to us.

If you have some material suggestions, I would be very willing to hear them.

I think your response highlights an important issue. I am referring to activity generally in the Kingdom not just government activity which is low despite the branding of minor items as remarkable breakthroughs. The other issue which was mentioned in my statement is that "we can bring new people" yes but can we keep them and encourage their contributions to national activity? How many new citizens have we brought in only for them to go silent?

On the latter point please re-read my statement with open eyes rather than resistance to a concern you expressed when forming the grand coalition. I proposed that TalossAssistants or some other kind of assistance extend their service to new citizens to assist with identifying their interests and connecting them to activities or starting them. There has been no response to this idea.

Where is the Royal Commission which was brought forward in Discord? Where is any mention of the crisis other than to justify the creation of the grand coalition? The crisis continues as it has for years and does not disappear by wish.
