Update before the final three groupstage games:

(min-max)

Lüc 32-38
Glüc 31-36
Braneu 32-39
AD 30-35
þerxh 35-42
Danihel 34-41
Breneir 39-35

Ive also had a look at the implications for the overall tournament:
(min-max)

Lüc 32-138
Glüc 33-126
Braneu 34-135
AD 32-128
þerxh 35-145
Danihel 34-142
Breneir 32-133

My max score took a bit of a hit because my two predicted finalists ended up on the same side of the bracket. þerxh is currently ahead but needs to hope Portugal beats Colombia tonight or he'll face the same problem.

I apologize. You did ask me that before. Actually, I was trying to do it the way you said, but I misremembered and thought that you asked me to do it this way instead, so I did the wrong thing again!

Please just post a link to the Hopper thread, as I asked in the initial comment, rather than the full bill text. (I'd already pointed this out in January, but perhaps you forgot.) This version you posted doesn't even have a title, which means I have to go back and find what bill this is myself. I specifically ask for a link for the following reasons, rather than arbitrary whims:

• I can just click and go get the latest title and text;
• I can make sure any requirements for Clarking have been met;
• It aids future research by leaving a simple way to go read the full discussion;
• It doesn't clutter this thread, making sure I don't accidentally miss a comment because I've scrolled past it to avoid a wall of text.

S:reu Secretary, I am pleased to request Clarking of the following:

The Citizenship Oath Reform Act

Hi Luc, not trying to nitpick but I wanted to be sure you saw it. I noticed it is not in the Draft Clark.

Thanks, I see in the Hopper title that it has been Clarked now.

Quote from: Glüc on June 25, 2026, 08:03:14 AMBy my (quick and potentially not very accurate) count we are on track for the following group stage point counts:

(min-max)

Lüc 22-41
Glüc 21-39
Braneu 22-43
AD 19-37
þerxh 24-43
Danihel (late entry) 23-42
Breneir 21-40

There are a lot more points to be earned in the knockout stage, which the group stage obviously has implications for, but I'm gonna wait until after the groupstage to do an update on that.

Based on that range I didn't do as bad as I predicted.

Whereas Talossa is a nation founded on principles whose citizens are committed to equality under the rule of law, and it's better to swear allegiance to our constitution and country, rather than the government, and

Whereas another version of this bill is sponsored by a person condemned by the Ziu as a sexual harasser, and there's no sense giving him even the appearance of support from a broader community that has rejected him,

THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa that Title E, Section 9 of El Lexhatx, which currently reads:

Quote9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to His Majesty's government. I solemnly affirm that I will support and uphold the Organic Law of the Kingdom of Talossa, defend the realm against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe its laws, respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency.

shall be replaced in full with:

Quote9. The following text shall be known as The Oath of Talossan Citizenship:
From this day forward, I pledge my loyalty, allegiance, and fidelity to the Kingdom of Talossa and to its Organic Law. I solemnly affirm that I will respect the rights and freedoms of all my fellow citizens, defend the realm against all enemies both foreign and domestic, faithfully observe the nation's laws, fulfill all my duties and obligations as a citizen of the Kingdom of Talossa, and humbly appreciate the benefits granted unto me by my King, most especially when those benefits take the form of Talossan currency or national cuisine.
