I'm already tempted to modify the rules to include some things that established themselves on the 11th, and to sort of streamline things a bit (e.g. raising both hands for Points of Order, and also unifying some motions into that category akin to German club rules).

Here is the week 15 schedule.

Gordon Hiatus Support Team v. Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis
Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis v. Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice
Tigreux dal Belacostă v. Manager-less Team 1
Cjovani Squilats v. Els Talossaes Rexhitais
Vuode Villains v. Maricopa Havana Hijinks

The top 5 teams remain the same (though not in the same order) as last week. Cjovani leapfrogged two spots to move into a three way tie with Banqeu da Cézembre Zambonis and Maritiimi-Maxhestic Mençeis for the final playoff spot and currently holds the tie breaker by less than 1 point! Cézembrean Amateurs on Ice and Gordon Hiatus Support Team are tied for last place currently but are only 2 wins out of a playoff spot with several weeks remaining. Good luck this week everyone!

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 10, 2026, 08:08:02 AMThe King may debate, but not vote. The Secretary of State may do neither. No one else can speak unless invited to do so, which is what a terpelaziun does.

While I mostly agree with you, as long as we don't have precedents or rules governing it, what you said is opinion and not fact - moreso because the Seneschal doesn't and shouldn't have any particular authority over the Ziu's operations.

Parliaments worldwide handle this stuff in wildly different ways and since the Ziu is not based on any individual one, we just can't make gut-feeling assumptions.

Oh, yeah, I absolutely have no authority to say either way.  I just think the answer for a lot of these flows pretty naturally from the respective roles in the law.  I mean, the king is legally part of the Ziu but has no vote, so being able to speak but not vote in an informal session makes sense to me.

I agree with the basic idea that we should do what seems to work and then codify it.
