2) Speaking of ultimate motives:Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 11, 2026, 11:38:22 AMpersevering against state-sanctioned harassment so that it does not happen to others
would seem to mean "I continue to participate in Talossa just to spite the people who have tired of my participation". An entirely negative motivation.
3) The government parties have an offer on the table that will lead to the lifting of the "official boycott" (i.e. render you eligible for Government roles).
4) Nothing apart from ceasing to be a nag and a jerk will render you eligible for people liking you (or forgetting all the non-Lüc-related ways you've made yourself stink).
5) Possible outcomes here, ranked in order of preference for everyone, including you:
- you change your ways and become a reformed character and stop making everyone hate you.
- you disappear, voluntarily or involuntarily.
- you hang around making everyone miserable, including yourself.

Why is that?
Both the first and the second halves of that sentence.
The discrimination in the proposed measure is towards the right of those who state their preference in public at any time that votes are being accepted. The current system preserves the right for a private vote, but does not force temporal restrictions on freedom of speech for those who wish to state their preferences in public. Party lists are likely to vote in a similar manner but certainly have no requirement to do so, and to imply that stating a public vote is to diminish free will is inappropriate.
You didn't answer the question.
The first part is less important, since "because I feel like it" is an acceptable answer.
I'm much more interested in why you think it is preferable for other people to vote publicly.

Wittenberg / Re: General curiosity
Last post by Riley Kenny Clow - October 12, 2026, 05:22:48 PMHey, fellow reverend! Allow me to provide some context: I was born into a rather secular Christian household. I was christened as a baby, and attended a Church of England primary school. Throughout my youth I've naturally been exposed to the likes of theology and specifically Christianity, though I've always questioned religion. I've grown up thoroughly exploring the depths of philosophy and Abrahamic religion, extending from Islam to Christianity, etc.
In more recent years I had this drive to closen my relationship with the teachings of Christ and follow in the fundamental principles of the Bible, having rather liberal views subject to my experiences with homosexuality and so on. Very recently, me and my boyfriend applied together for ordainment. The spiritual connection it brought was a big appeal for both of us. Not only does the title carry a heavy range of duties but, on a more broad level, comes with immense honour and brings immeasurable pride.
---> That's such a shame religious is practically dead in Talossa. It was something I had considered upon immigrating and would be cool to integrate as has been done before.
---> Exactly what I was thinking. A set religion in the sense that the United States is 'One nation under God' is almost marginalistic, especially where Talossa is built of the backs of immigration and unison from around the world: multiculturalism is key, and certain religious groups in the nation could enhance unity for sure.
---> Wow, that's certainly the dream for any ordained minister. Neither me nor Wyatt have had the privilege to carry out any material duty of ministry, but certainly plan on doing the title proud as we navigate what life has laid out for us. I've attended many baptisms and it certainly inspires me to do good and helps to understand what benefits we can bring.

Quote from: King Txec on October 12, 2026, 03:39:14 PMI would love for the Kingdom to pursue some form of religious organization. We've had them in the past but they are essentially dead at this point in time

Quote from: King Txec on October 12, 2026, 03:39:14 PMSomething non-denominational would be ideal as we have many different religious traditions among our citizens

Quote from: King Txec on October 12, 2026, 03:39:14 PMOne of my proudest moments as an ordained minister was when I assisted in the baptism by water of several people in the Jordan river in Israel. That was a spectacular moment in my life. What about you?

I look forward to a determination on my application.
S:reu Tzaracomprada, some would say repeatedly asking a question with very little time for a response (in this case just over two hours) is also rude. Perhaps give people with lives outside of Talossa a chance to respond? Maybe a day or longer? This kind of behavior is why some people don't respond well to you.
Also, I'm not going to get into an argument with you as to why you might be feeling this way. I'm simply pointing out that nagging is never a good choice to get people to do what you want.
Thanks.
-Txec R
My application has been under consideration since late July. I even mentioned over a month ago I would check in. No response has been received. It is rude to ignore someone and then call their reaction to being ignored nagging. I recognize I am not popular but I am not going to disappear no matter how difficult you make being Talossan.
It is entirely disingenuous to suggest I have made being a Talossan difficult for you. I went so far, in fact, to try to help you rehabilitate yourself to make things easier for you. You conveniently ignored my PM to you in February of this year and I shrugged it off. However, like I said, I'm not going to get into an argument with you over this. Have a great day and enjoy the things that bring you joy.
-Txec R
Not arguing about the obvious is a good idea, Your Majesty. Have a great day.
