Whereas, presently the King, Seneschal, and Secretary of State can request an advisory opinion from the Cort pü Inalt, and

Whereas, presently the Government's chief legal advisor, the Avocat-Xheneral, nor the principal originators of legislation can request an advisory opinion from the Cort pü Inalt, and

Whereas, by removing this advisory opinion we can adopt a preferable "case or controversy" approach to legislative consultation rather than using them as "ad-hoc lawmaking."

Therefore, be it enacted by the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that paragraph five (5) of OrgLaw Article VIII.6, which currently reads:

QuoteNotwithstanding any contrary proscription, the King, the Secretary of State, or the Seneschal may refer an issue to the Cort pü Inalt for an advisory opinion provided that any such panel reviewing the position is composed of no less than three Judges after any necessary recusal, there lacks a live case or controversy that would otherwise determine the issue, and there is a reasonably need for resolution of the question.

is hereby deleted.

Stage 13   »   Almuñécar  ›  Loja

After yesterday's epic stage win by Omrzel (BDC/PTM), today was more of a classics type stage suited for attackers. Indeed we got a large break with all team represented, which was eventually reduced to a smaller group. Towards the end several riders tried to break free, but the only one who succeeded, about 5 km before the finish was Van Aert (CHX/CJO), along with Paret-Peintre (CHX), who bravely tried to sprint against Van Aert, but of course was no match for him. In the group that followed Brennan (GHS/BDC) won the sprint for third place, ahead of Widar (GHS/BDC) and Albanese (CJO/DED). Vermaerke (MMM) finished seventh, at least preventing the Menceis from another zero on the board, and Zana (CFA) finished tenth.

On a less fortunate note, yesterday brought more bad news for GHST, BdC and Cyclohexane as Vine abandoned. Today it was more misery for the menceis as Sivakov dropped out.

The stage today was won by Naziun Cjovani. They continue their surge and climb to second place in the standings and will now presumably set their sights on overtaking first place as well. With a full roster (compared to the 6 riders worth 54 credits BdC has left) and 8 stages to go that might not be as impossible as the 1100 point gap makes it seem. BdC still hold the advantage, but this is not over yet.

Tomorrow a mountain stage with an uphill finish that could be one for the gc riders or for some adventurous climber.

No objections to allowing Istefan to withdraw.

Besides, if a tiebreaker was forced to take place and Istefan by chance ended up winning, he could very well choose to resign if he didn't want the job; in which case I would be almost assured to offer Mic'haglh to the Assembly for election to the vacant spot, given he would have won it by countback. We'd be back at this same point but with a lot more hassle.

Pending certification of the electoral results, then as the outgoing Governadeir, the tentative assignment of seats in the Nimlet for the 63rd Cosa term is as follows:

Senator: 1 seat
Governor: 1 seat
Progressive Alliance: 4 seats
Union of Free Reformists: 2 seats*
Green Party: 1 seat
Independent Progressive: 1 seat

* The vote for the "FreeDems" is held as equivalent to a vote for the URL, and therefore awards a second seat to the same. The URL is the direct legal successor to the Free Democrats of Talossa. Had the Free Democrats simply dissolved in the manner of the Talossan National Congress, the vote would be properly considered as invalid, but in this case the vote as cast can be properly understood and attributed to a registered party (using Lexh.B.8.3 as a guide).

Quote from: Istefan Perþonest on September 02, 2026, 11:13:26 AMHuh. Rather than a coin flip, can I just step aside in favor of @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be ?

That is a good question! There's no provision for it, but we also can't exactly force people to hold offices they don't want to hold.

Do the other Consuls have any objections to permitting Sir Istefan from declining the coin toss?
