Quote from: King Txec on December 07, 2025, 07:45:12 PMI don't know, but it seems like someone should ask the actual, reigning king, his thoughts on his role in Talossa. Just an idea.

Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on your role in Talossa?

Quote from: King Txec on Yesterday at 07:10:37 AMIf the former king Robert wished to re-immigrate, I'm sure he would face similarly steep opposition to the last time he attempted it. While the majority of current citizens have had no interaction with him and have only read about him, and while it was amazing what he did accomplish, many questions would still be raised.

Also remember, I have great confidence in our system of government and, as Sovereign, you can rest assured that I will do everything in my power to prevent damage to that system. Talossan's are a quirky people and we have lots of quirky ideas, including the very notion that we can create and participate in our crazy little kingdom.

This is what I like to see in a King! Bravo, Your Majesty!

Barclamïu, I have a pretty long track record in Talossan politics, and I've spent a lot of time fighting for democratic reforms.  The old system of laws was just a crazy hodgepodge of dozens of individual things that only a few people knew about, until my project of coming up with el Lexhatx.  Or even recently, only a few people would know where to find information on things like the government budget or immigration statistics, until my project of developing Infoteca.  My legacy in Talossa is one of good-government reforms and systems, and I plan on continuing in that tradition.

But don't take my word for it.  Stay engaged and hold us accountable!  If you see me sponsoring a bill to favor Christianity -- unlikely, since I'm an atheist, but let's just speculate -- then you should speak up!

There's a reason why I insisted that we leave the door open to work with the URL, even after everything, and it's because I sincerely believe that it's better to hear everyone's voice.  And that goes for you, too.

My guess would be that once he regains his citizenship, should that happen at all, he would want to return to power. Correct me if I'm wrong I guess.

Maybe he can make a promise not to do that once he regains his citizenship? I'm just coming up with this on the fly, so pardon me if it sounds stupid.

That just so happens to remind me of Polish right-wing politicians (mainly ones from PiS), just saying.

Probably because I wasn't aware of its existence previously

I think probably just that it's more granular, which this bill is specifically supposed to change.  So I guess it depends on whether or not you think it's good that the Cosa more closely resembles the actual vote.

Most Honourable Seneschal, I'm not rattled, just bemused that you guys are still doing this.  It's a lie to suggest that Mic'halgh ever presented those terms to me.  You guys are lying.  Again.

We went through a whole campaign of this, and the voters just rejected it in a very clear voice.  It's not a good idea to try to scare people by lying about your political opponents, since it creates a lot of animosity and scares people.  And also we just saw how it doesn't work. 

People aren't going to believe you, since they're going to see that it's not true.

I don't think I would vote for Max's bill, personally, unless Robert I came back and apologized.  You might have seen how I can be a stickler for that kind of thing.

Please be aware that Max has agreed to a coalition agreement in which he is only going to work on promoting our language, and anything else requires approval from me.  Talossa will not be turning into a theocratic autocracy on my watch, don't worry.

My guy, it doesn't take anyone casting you as anything but what you are for your authoritarian politics to be objectionable. Absolute monarchists could be the ruling majority and they'd still be repugnant.
