Quote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on July 06, 2026, 04:44:34 PMjust from a minor bit of research (on an entirely separate matter), currently reads in El Lexhátx section C:

Quote1.4.2. No Public Record or Archive under the control of a Governmental body and/or the Royal Civil Service Body shall be destroyed, erased or otherwise disposed of without the written authorisation of the Royal Archivist. This Authorisation or Refusal must be announced on Wittenberg within three days of such Authorisation or Refusal is made. Authorisation or Refusal by the Royal Archivist for the destruction of an Archive may be overturned by a resolution passed by the Ziu.

as well as:

Quote1.4.4. Any person who damages or causes to be damaged any Public Archive or Record in the control of a Governmental or Royal Civil Service body; or damages or causes to be damaged any Public Archive in the control of a Private body, Community and/or Individual; or removes, destroys or erases such Public record or archive otherwise than in accordance with this provision or any other law, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanour if such damage, removal, destruction, or erasure was wilful, or guilty of a Class C misdemeanour if such damage, removal, destruction, or erasure was reckless.

Im going out on a limb here that 1.4.2 may apply to the wiki? Im a little rusty on my legal interpretations, dont @ me if im barking up the wrong tree

I would say 1.4.2 in particular does not apply to the wiki, as it is not currently under control of either any Governmental body or the Royal Civil Service.

That said, since all page revisions are archived on a wiki, to me it seems like damage, destruction, erasure, or disposal would be difficult to argue (in part since such a stance could make it difficult to edit the wiki without breaking the law...)

Just my two bence, but I think that instead of advancing legislation designed to produce a chilling effect on speech the Government doesn't like, we should probably determine how TalossaWiki should be administered before we go about trying to set policy for it. Until we do that, it essentially remains a private enterprise.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very interested in the possible tie scenario. (I'm inclined to root for a chaotically close outcome...)

In the meantime, for my coworkers, I guess it's Go Spain?

Do you have ideas about things Talossa should be doing? Maybe some things you want to see introduced or improved? Do you want to get involved with the group that believes in moving Talossa forward? If so, you're in luck -- all you need to do is join the URL!

The Union of Free Reformists -- l'Uniun dels Reformistaes Livereschti in the national language, or if that's a bit of a mouthful, the URL or simply the Union -- is Talossa's party of progress, democracy, and liberty. If you believe that things could always be better; if you believe that honesty, transparency, respect, and accountability are important; if you have good ideas and want people to actually hear you out; if you want a party that knows you're more than just your vote: the Union is the party for you!

How to get involved? It's pretty easy, really -- all you need to do is message either the party's President (that's me) or the Secretary (that would be @Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC ) and let us know you'd like to join.

As this Cosă term winds down, we'll be going over the state of Talossa's affairs and where we believe the country ought to go next. If you want to help us breathe a little bit of life back into the country, we'd be glad to have you on board.

Okay, I will admit that my chances are no longer looking very good.

We're still waiting for penalties between Colombia and Switzerland, but that won't actually affect the score for this round, which is as follows:

Points scored in Round of 32
Lüc 18
Glüc 12
Braneu 12
AD 6
þerxh 12
Danihel 15
Breneir 15

Overall score so far:
Lüc 79
Glüc 73
Braneu 71
AD 58
þerxh 73
Danihel 76
Breneir 74

This round turned out to be pretty decisive. At least for AD, who has no predicted semifinalists left, so 58 will actually be his final score. Because of the way the teams interact however it is also no longer possible for myself, Braneu or þerxh to win. It really comes down now to whether Spain makes it to the final, in which case Danihels Opta-based prediction wins. In almost every other case Lüc wins, except there is one particular scenario where the winner is a tie.'

Outlook (all rounds):
min-max
Lüc 79-128
Glüc 73-109
Braneu 71-94
AD 58
þerxh 73-104
Danihel 76-125
Breneir 74-97
