I'll pass, I wouldn't be really able to join anyway, we would still be on our way home.

This will serve as the usual running thread for feedback (bug reports, inquiries, etc.), news/communications from myself (eg. regarding turnout) and public commentary pertaining to the election.

I have drawn the order that parties and candidates will appear in on the PDF ballot (D20 roll in brackets):

• Cosă: URL (20), PROG (16;17), GREEN (16;7), BREN (12), IG/A-S (2)
• M-M Senate: Davinescu, Tafial
• VD Senate: Lenxheir, Grischun
• FV Presidium: Schivă, Válcadác'h

The process is available here, if you want to watch me attempt to speak only Talossan for five minutes (and realise I do not know the Talossan word for "tiebreaker"): link


(From this election onward, the order on the Database form will be randomised every time, so this only applies to the PDF ballot.)

Speaking of the PDF ballot itself, it too will change with respect to previous elections. It is now only one page long, with most details and information moved to a separate 7-page pienamaintsch (supplement) which will be provided alongside the ballot. This is both intended to facilitate email/post voting, as you only need to submit one page, and to change the format of the ballot to something (subjectively) better looking and resemblant of macronational elections.

The pienamaintsch is already available here: Pienamaintsch , and the ballot for Belacostă has been uploaded as well as an example: Ballot example

I am working with various entities to make sure that the registration funds are received.  Some are unable to use PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle as I have previously established, and I am trying to use other means.  Another possible way at all times is to issue a check or money order to The Kingdom of Talossa, PO Box 3037, High Mar Station, Boulder, Colorado 80307-3037 USA and send by postal mail.  The organization could issue an affidavit online that it has been mailed, and then I would complete the transaction upon arrival.

I've gotten several people asking me when the next lessons will go up, and they're still in progress. When I feel moved to tackle them again, I will get back to work and make some more.

If you already know several languages, then a lot of the concepts that are introduced will be very easy for you... I bet you'll fly through the lessons!

As an aside I would like to do a broadcast of the results on discord on election night (which would be tuesday september first), but this may partially depend on how much interest/attendance there would be for that. I'd assume it would be starting somewhere around 14:00 TST/21:00 CEST on september first. How many of you think they might be able to tune in for a bit?

What about people that only know like three languages in total and those being very basic? Totally not talking about myself.

You're not stupid. Different people are good at different things, and not being good at languages doesn't mean you're stupid.

I get so confused with the language. I can find the words I want on l'oversteir but sometimes there are two or more options and I never know which one is correct for my particular usage. I also have a difficult time with grammar (hell I have a difficult time with English grammar LOL) and I don't know how to put the words together in a sentence.
