Today, we announced the re-opening of our TalossaWare store, on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky

Looks like we are skipping an informal joint session for May. Will we plan for one in June and July?

Congratulations to the winner! I Dream is a lovely poem.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on May 09, 2026, 08:40:21 PMI expect @Crement Itravilatx to rub it in that his team has such early success.

The deal is...if my team wins then instead of us cooking every other nights you cook dinner every night for one month. :)

@King Txec , it's been two weeks.  Have you received any communication from any of the three justices assigned to the case?

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on May 16, 2026, 05:56:16 PMFirstly, Istefan Pertgonest. Once my rival (during a Senate campaign), never really a friend (just never got to know him very well), but a Benitian/Belacostan worthy of every honor possible for his contributions to our province. He isn't very active on Witt anymore, but he is still around, and anytime he shows up, it feels like a big piece of our province has returned.

"Active" is one of those matters of definition, you know. I certainly don't post a lot, but I do visit Witt pretty much daily, with the Belacosta forum being one of a handful I always check for the new message indicator.

Stage 8 Chieti -> Fermo

Yesterdays stage featured a lot of attacking. A large break was formed halfway through the stage which contained the rider who would eventually go solo an win his second stage: Jonathan Narvaez (REX/VFL/MMM). Scaroni (REX/MMM) came in 6th. The GC didn't see major changes, except for Ciccone (ITW/BDC/CHX) who lost more than 6 minutes which likely puts him out of podium contention.

A good result for Talossaes Rexhital who take back the lead by scoring the most points of the day, but also for the Menceis, who climb to third. Cézembre Fieschā keep struggling and are now far behind the rest of the teams.

Standings after stage 8:

Pos	±		Team	Pts Ove	Pts Today
1st	(+2)		Els Talossaes Rexhital (REX)	2369	+471
2nd	(-1)		Cyclohexane (CHX)	2342	+140
3rd	(+2)		Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis (MMM)	2181	+449
4th	(-2)		Team In The Wind (ITW)	1976	+70
5th	(+2)		Velociposse Florencia (VFL)	1938	+369
6th	(-2)		Cézembre Caçeirs dals Mailintzarăs (BDC)	1921	+143
7th	(-1)		Gordon Hiatus Support Team (GHS)	1846	+197
8th	(=)		Cézembre Fieschā (CFA)	1056	+100

Today starts out flat but ends with a 3rd category climb en route to a 1st category climb which is also the finish. Very much seems like a stage for the GC favourites.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TWO: REMOVING THE COPPER-FASTENING OF THE PROVINCIAL SENÄTS

Right now, amending the provincial basis of the Senäts would require a referendum win in every province, making it the least amendable of any OrgLaw provisions, including the Covenant of Rights and Freedoms. This amendment would retain a 2/3 Senäts majority needed to make such changes under the existing section XII.I.

Amend OrgLaw XII.4 as follows:

QuoteProposed changes to this Organic Law that affect the representation of a province in the Senäts, or of the territory or equal sovereignty of a province, shall not take effect unless approved by a majority of participating voters in that province.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT ONE: ENSURING THE ORGANICITY OF PARTY LISTS

OrgLaw IV.2 to be amended as follows:

QuoteBased on the final results of the General Election, the Secretary of State shall calculate the apportionment of seats among the parties, hereinafter referred to as "party seats".

    1. The party seats shall total 200, or another number which may be set by law, with the provisos that any such change will not take effect until the next election following the passage of a calendar year; and that this number may never be less than twice the number of Senators minus one.
    2. Each party shall receive a percentage of party seats as equal as possible to its percentage of the popular vote, but each party shall receive a whole number of seats, and in turn, each party shall assign these seats to individuals, in accordance with law. Any seats which cannot be filled by a party in accordance with law shall be filled by the King according to his own best judgment, or left vacant.
 3. The Secretary of State shall employ whatever mathematical formulae and calculations in the apportionment of seats as are set by law, or, in the absence of such law, as will best reflect the intentions of this Organic Law. The Uppermost Cort shall be the final judge in case of mathematical disputes.
    4. Only registered political parties may obtain party seats. Parties which win votes but are not registered may not assume their seats in the Cosa until they register. The process to register a party shall be defined by law. The Secretary of State may request from all parties a registration fee, to be set by law, to cover the cost of the election. This fee shall be uniform for all parties.

OrgLaw IV.3 to be amended as follows:

QuoteIn the case of vacant party seats occurring between elections, the Secretary of State shall inform the King and the leader of whatever party held the vacant seat. The King shall appoint a replacement to each vacancy. If the seat belonged to a party with a functioning party leader, the King must appoint as a replacement whichever person shall be so designated by that party's leader under the same law that governs assignment of seats after an election. If there is no functioning party leader, or if the party leader refuses to designate a replacement, or if the seats are still vacant for any other reason the King shall appoint the replacement according to his own best judgment or otherwise leave the seats vacant.

And in whatever form we push forward Ziu reform apart from this
