Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 10:46:04 PMI called it the Johannine Era. I need to figure out the Talossan for that, of course. @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP ... I'm hoping the answer isn't just making it possessive with sè, but since I don't know of a way to adjectivize a noun, I suspect that might be the answer.Atx Ianesc, I'd say.
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PM26 December 1979 to 25 November 1980: Era 1, ending with the Battle of the Garage
26 November 1980 to the day of Frederic Coriu's first visit in 1981(?) and ending at the end of 1982: The Expansionist Era.
It was not until 1983 Ian M. came on the Talossan scene...
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PMcertainly the most colorful (as Ben put it, "mostly red, white, and black").Yep.
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PM1983 to Ben's re-coronation in 1988: The IM Era (for lack of a far-better name).I was not. My involvement with Talossa had ended with the Garage War, a year or more prior, and we were not friends at the moment. Ben & company graduated from RHS in 1982, and I didn't see them again for years. Over a decade, in fact.
[...] Davron was there. Dan L. was there. IM was there. I'm pretty sure Cona was there, too.
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PM1997-1998: The next wave of Cybercits come to Talossa. Not all of them buy into Ben's creative direction for Talossa and wish to do Talossa in somewhat their own way, while keeping well within the Talossan representative-democratic-monarchist structure and system. The Uppermost Cort's vetoing the citizenship process for Miestra Schiva is infamous.There have not been many Living Cosas. I was present at two very significant ones. One was where the so-called "Greek God Guy" had his application essentially rejected. I'd tried to find a middle course, taking the standpoint of "You all have questions that weren't answered, let's put this on hold, ask your questions, and see what the answers are." But, rejection on religious grounds is just that, and he [insulted and not wrong for feeling so] joined the penguin colony. To my shame, I didn't ask the more important question -- "Why is this guy's religion even being questioned?" I encountered him, years later, in another forum, and we made peace then.
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PM1997 sees what I believe to be the first mass-exodus in Talossan history: Miestrâ and certain others, I think. I don't have my notes in front of me, and this is before my time.Penguineia. I tend to think of it as The First Schism. Of course, following this loss was a recruitment drive. And like the folks who had just left, some of the newcomers didn't like everything about the Kingdom they'd just joined.
Quote from: GV on Yesterday at 09:33:53 PM1998 sees the second mass-exodus from Talossa: Dan Wardlow and others in dramatic fashion. Dan burns his Talossan materials, and with them go much documentation of Talossa's earliest Cybercit past.What led up to this? The second significant Living Cosa I was involved in. It was combined with 2000's Talossan Independence Day celebrations, wherein I provided the site (the elegant and professional rooming house I lived in) and hosted, the first one NOT held at the Ancestral Founding Site. There are photos of me in my night security guard uniform.
June 2001: the next mass-exodus - this time the third Liberal Party of Talossa. Ián Anglatzara is among those who flee.
Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on Yesterday at 09:57:03 PMDo we have them archived somewhere?I think GV might have the only copies? I remember I did see some, although there was too much Nazi stuff for me to want to seek out a lot more. I think that was a phase of Ian von M's?
Quote from: Sir Lüc on June 22, 2025, 01:54:13 PMThe ones on the History page are more accurate, although the 2007 "modern" era arguably ended with Reunision and we could be considered to be in yet another era with the accession of King Txec.I went ahead and followed this suggestion. Making it an era from 2007 to 2024 under the reign of King John neatly encapsulates that period. I called it the Johannine Era. I need to figure out the Talossan for that, of course. @Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP ... I'm hoping the answer isn't just making it possessive with sè, but since I don't know of a way to adjectivize a noun, I suspect that might be the answer.
