Effective immediately, and in keeping with a renewal of the military, the Zuavs will be adopting this logo and rank insignia.  This page has been in my notes for almost a year, and the time is ripe!  Great work!

When you get a chance, please PM me the files so I can put them on the wiki.  We might also try to work out physical representations, in keeping with our goal of more physical Talossanity.

We have issued ID cards in the past, and we'd like to issue them again this term.  I'd like to get some idea of interest: who would be interested in receiving an ID card marking them as a Talossan citizen?

The cards are free, since the Government pays for their manufacture and mailing -- all you need to do is pass a relatively easy quiz.

Reviewing some of the other posts I would like to become a member of the Society. I am currently a PhD student in Artificial Intelligence and Design at Simon Fraser University. I also received my Masters at SFU. For my membership application, I am submitting a paper from the Canadian Arts Education magazine, The Canadian Art Teacher: https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/cat/2024-v20-n1-cat09755/1115214ar/abstract/

I am also open to any questions to prove my worthiness for membership.

Fantastic!

With S:reu Autófil's help you're guaranteed to have a nice looking coat of arms (he made mine as well).

Hey, I never thought of that, sounds like a great compromise. Actually, isn't that how it already works when you vote publicly on the database?

We recently relaunched the government award now known as Pretz Pätriotic del Seneschal, or Prime Minister's Patriotic Award.

After feedback from the Coletx, the current proposed design is a small, square white badge, decorated in red with a naval-style compass rose to represent the fact that the recipient has helped guide their friend to Talossa.  This part would be 3D-printed in matte plastic, and it will look something like this:



The back will have a small clip so that it can be slid onto the top of a pocket, lapel, or other part of fabric.  It will also hold a thin woven green cord.  This cord will hold the beads for the award.

I am going to print the beads, as well, so we will have a free hand with the design.  They will be different shapes and colors, depending on where the recipient is in the sequence.  For example, His Majesty is going to be first in line since he has recruited both Her Highness Queen Chelli and his brother to immigrate, and so he'll get two beads of different designs.

I have all the components, so I'll be producing this later this week.  The goal is to send them out next month.  Before that, though, I'd like to solicit any feedback.  Do you have any suggestions to improve the design?  Any suggestions on the beads?

The awards will be free, since the Government will cover mailing them to recipients.

(And of course, don't forget to claim your award!)
