What actions will you and Miestra take publicly to confirm the end of the boycott?

I mean public statements, etc.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on October 01, 2026, 10:56:13 PMThese rules were in use during the last two Informal Sessions so I would hope they are uncontroversial. If there are any objections to them not just from S:reu Moin but from other Members of the Cosă, I'd be happy to hear them.
Would I still be able to take on the Tuisc'hach responsibility if I'm unable to attend video/audio conferences, but can handle the duties through other means?

Thank you to everyone for your support. I'm pleased to accept the nomination for Túischac'h. of the Cosa. I look forward to serving and helping keep its proceedings organized and productive. I should also mention that, due to some limitations, I may not be able to attend video/Audio conferences, but I'm fully committed to carrying out the responsibilities of the position.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 01, 2026, 12:59:31 PMAfter the Seneschal's recent vote, I posted the following notes on my own votes:

QuoteAlso, why are people still voting against legislation due to my sponsorship? I have apologized to Luc, refrained from repeated instances of what was problematic, and have been gracious with others. What is the current purpose of the social boycott?

What is the new purpose (or adapted old purpose) of this continuing social boycott? Was my second apology viewed as insincere? Have I offended additional people? Or is it being done until I leave?

I felt this was a reasonable question.  There should be a path to redemption for anyone.  You apologized  -- after an incredible amount of public pressure, but you did eventually do it.  But I think in combination with a lot of your other behavior, it makes it seem harder to work with you in any capacity.

I mean, you've become famous for your nagging... when you lodge a request with someone, you nag them over and over in public until they oblige or answer you.  It's effective, but it's rude, and you don't seem to care how it looks.  Similarly, throwing your husband under the bus with the party switch was a pretty callous thing to do.  I don't know how your apology would have landed after so much time and pressure in any case, but your behavior hasn't helped one bit.

Still, this situation represents an opportunity for growth, and the status quo probably can't continue.  So after some discussion, here's the deal:

We'd like to see a gesture of remorse to show that you regret your actions, and we'd like to be sure this doesn't happen again to anyone else.  Accordingly, I think people would be prepared to normalize things and move on if two things happened:

1.  You should resign from the Cosa for the remainder of this term.  Being an MZ is something that you seem to value, and if you were to resign from the Cosa it would be something material you could do to show contrition.  You'd be voluntarily paying a price for your past mistakes in a way that everyone could see and believe.  Under the current circumstances, it wouldn't materially affect national politics much.

2.  Second, we would like you to undertake an educational course in how to understand and prevent sexual harassment of all kinds.  This course specifically is well-reviewed and offers a graduation certificate that can be verified by outsiders as genuine.

I sincerely hope you will choose to take these steps, painful and awkward as it might be for you, and then we can maybe all begin to move past this.  You will have paid a price and worked towards rehabilitation, and that will be something worthwhile.

There we go. True concrete steps. I see two requirements for me. On your side, as the enforcers of the boycott, what actions do you agree to take to note its end?

Quote from: GV on October 01, 2026, 10:07:32 PMOf this sponsor's three bills this month, this imho comes the closest to being one I could actually vote for.  However, given the sponsor's history of the past year or more, imho an AUS vote this time is fully-warranted. 

GV, Fiova

I guess I'll post this here with a repeat of the question. What have I done in the past year to warrant a continuation of a social boycott even after apologizing and change behavior. If the goal is to run me out of Talossa then be explicit about that goal.

Whatever their goal just keep being the person you are. Remember, you can't control the behavior of others only your own.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 17, 2026, 11:40:27 AMI nominate my wise husband @Crement Itravilatx

I accept the nomination.
If I am selected I need to caution I would need patience as someone new to Talossan politics.

To help with getting this completed I am withdrawing from consideration.
I second the nomination of @Moinul Moin
