That's so neat, congrats! If you want to tweak the basemap further, I suggest the plugin NextGIS QuickMapServices for a bunch of alternative OpenStreetMap styles and many more providers. QuickOSM is also a plugin I use to grab objects off OSM, if you want to actually edit the individual geometries.

Some new places to display could be Clark's Print Shop/Graphics and Gay House, and I'm sure there's more!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 03:08:37 PMActually, you know what?  I think this is a great lesson.  Breneir wants to make a bargain.  We told him no, but he's already shown that he can't understand what that means. 

But since right now he's just an offender who really doesn't seem to understand that "no means no," it's maybe more important that he start learning.

So when the time comes, I will publicly announce:

QuoteBreneir Tzaracomprada sexually harassed another citizen.  No one deserves to be treated this way -- there is nothing more important than the safety of our citizens.  After being confronted with his behavior, Breneir spent a year refusing to apologize in a real way, but eventually acquiesced.  For most of us, this wasn't enough to begin to treat him like any other citizen.  It was too hard to forget that he'd hurt someone else or that he didn't really seem to care.

However, Breneir has now resigned from the Cosa and has undertaken an educational course.  These are both good first steps to show that he wants to begin to learn and change his behavior.  Everyone deserves to be safe and not feel like being in our public square might make them a possible target.  We hope that, if he decides to remain a citizen, that this is becomes a chance for him to start a new chapter of his time here.

That's a nice poison pill you present. I, having some self respect, choose not to take it. When you are serious about this I will be ready, Alexandreu. In the meantime this thread will be proof of your intent to draw this out even longer than it needs to.

lol, thank you. I'm pretty happy with it.

After we're done, I'll also make publicly available the QGIS info, the Inkscape file, and a maximum-resolution file.

I'd like to make the map available on Talossaware, although that might require some fiddling, but people can just download it and have it printed out locally, too.

I'll get a bill together at some point with the things I noticed.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 02:36:39 PMI promise you that exactly no one was shocked that you found an excuse to avoid these steps towards rehabilitation.  We could easily leave a permanent note in La C'hronica for each month which reads, "This month, Breneir found a reason to avoid confronting the consequences of his actions."

Alexandreu, seriously if you wanted me out of the Ziu and to take the course then a simple statement is not much to do. You are this close to getting rid of me but have decided that taking a hard line (suddenly) on joint statements is more important. If I wanted to "avoid the consequences" of my actions then simply leaving Talossa would probably have been the move so that is a silly line. You can do better than that. :)

My door remains open Miestra and Alexandreu when you are truly ready to move on. It's just a simple statement you are refusing to post.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Today at 02:10:48 PMYes, we all understand that you have a hard time with someone telling you "no."  That's how you got in this mess.

Yeah, this is an important point here, which gets lost if we talk about this as if it were solely about sexual harassment. Breneir is a doyen of all kinds of harassment. Pestering; nagging; proposing the same bills over and over again, in the apparent hope that we'll eventually give him what he wants so as to stop being annoyed. @Bråneu Excelsio, UrN talked about repeated unwanted communications on WhatsApp.

I can only assume this is a behaviour pattern which has served him well outside Talossa.

That is not true, Miestra. I messaged Braneu twice. That is not repeated unwanted communication. I realize you want to whip up a case against me but lying is unbecoming.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 03, 2026, 05:01:30 PMFolks, if you could please put parts that concern the end of the boycott into a joint statement?

No. As AD said, this is not a negotiation.

So then we won't be moving forward. I appreciate you laying out the terms. My door is open should you all decide to post the joint statement as an exercise in trust-building.

Ugh, we were so close to ending this campaign and allowing Talossa to move on, if not, for the personal grudges by two powerful figures.

Whereas, the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are core principles of liberty and of open and free societies; and

Whereas, reports from the Islamic Republic of Iran indicate the use of violence, intimidation, and repression against civilians engaging in peaceful protest; and

Whereas, the use of force against unarmed protesters undermines the legitimacy of governance and erodes trust between a state and its people; and

Whereas, the people of Iran, like all peoples, have an inherent right to determine their political, social, and cultural future without fear of violence or coercion.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa to unequivocally condemn the use of violence, repression, and collective punishment against peaceful protesters in Iran; and

Be it further resolved, that the Ziu calls upon the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran to cease all acts of violence against civilians, to respect the rights of peaceful assembly and expression, and to ensure accountability for abuses committed; and

Be it further resolved, that the Ziu affirms its solidarity with the people of Iran in their pursuit of justice, dignity, and self-determination, and recognizes their right to have their voices heard without fear; and

Be it further resolved, that the Kingdom of Talossa encourages the international community to uphold human rights principles, to advocate for the protection of civilians, and to support peaceful and lawful expressions of the will of the Iranian people.
