I know this is now the US equivalent of Godwin's Law, but it was very Trumpian. He'd just say stuff and talk himself into it by repeating it. I have my disagreements with the Duke of Lupul's track record as King, but he had KR1's number right from the start: "Boy, can that guy lie!"

But he was also, I'm told *absolutely charming*, so your average citizen who acts on social cues had no reason to think that he wasn't telling a whole bunch of lies. Women will be familiar with the phenomenon where they get abused by a "nice guy", but if you tell anyone, they'll say "that guy has always been nice to me. Shut up, I don't want to hear it." I'll never forget Tomas Gariçéir just refusing to believe what I was telling him because Ben had always been nice to him, and if he were such a bad person, why did he have so many friends and supporters. Until of course it was Tomas' turn to walk the plank. No shade to Tomas, a lot of good people get sucked into that dynamic.

Also: later generations might not believe the level of absolutely rank bigotry that KR1 used to spout, including transphobia. Of course, this was the late 90s and that's unfortunately how the median "centrist" person talked. But look at how many trans folk are notable Talossan citizens today, of whom we are proud.

Talossa is a kingdom, we don't have a president. And it's already too late to announce your candidacy for this election since it's currently ongoing (plus you need to be a citizen to be a candidate for anything).

President of what? Talossa? We have a king (me) but not a president.

Quote from: Françal I. Lux on November 22, 2025, 08:32:04 PMI'm just gonna jump in here bc DS9 is also my favorite! The episode "In the Pale Moonlight" is my all time favorite episode of Star Trek.

I think we might have enough people for a Talossan Trekkies group. That is an excellent episode. TNG is my favorite and The Best of Both Worlds (Pts. 1 & 2) is my favorite episode.

Oh there are games we could totally play with a group like that!
Theres a bridge crew game on steam, and I also have another bridge crew style engine to play some more roleplay kind of things.
Also star trek adventures for the more TTRPG inclined, like dnd but... well actually star trek

Nifty!  Thanks!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on November 22, 2025, 12:21:57 PMRight, but it says Central Standard Time.  Which is not incorrect, since that's the same as TST.  I just thought it would be neat if it referred to TST instead.

If it's a hassle or it doesn't look right, then don't worry about it.  It's truly not at all a big deal, but just something I thought might be cool.

Ah gotcha. I vaguely recall I did write some code to replace CST with TST, not sure why it wouldn't work anymore. Gonna investigate and fix later today.

I see the issue now - the script looks for "CT" instead of "CST". It's been fixed now.
