The Coletx is in receipt of this request.  My apologies for the delay -- I have been busy this past week.  Since both the Rouge Elephant Herald and myself have outstanding applicants, I will be assigning the Foxmouth Pursuivant, @Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be , to this task.  I will also assign the Oblivious Auditing Fellow, @Moinul Moin , to assist as he learns the ropes.

The Coletx is in receipt of this request, and we are happy to admit a new member.  I echo the joy of the Rouge Elephant Herald at this expansion of our ranks, since we are always in demand.

The Coletx recognizes Moinul Moin as the Oblivious Auditing Fellow, seeing as His Majesty has already assented to such.  Welcome to our new OAF.

Your first task will be to read through and familiarize yourself with our Rules of Heraldry.  We stick to these rules; exceptions are surpassingly rare.

Congrats, Nolan!  We are so happy to have you -- let me know if you're interested in helping with the language lessons I've been working on gradually over the past couple of years.

You still legally are the Leader of the Opposition until some other MC votes Non on the VoC, or this Clark ends, whatever occurs earlier - as I detailed in a comment on the MC for the 63rd Cosă post a few days ago.

Also @Sir Lüc Could you remove the Leader of the Opposition tag from my custom title? I'm no longer in the Ziu so don't want any new folks to be confused.

I've noticed zero discussion of an activity crisis since government formation. No royal commission, etc. We have also seen a rise in new citizens with no real increase in activity. I urge the King and the Government to recommit to addressing the terminal quiet in the country. For new citizens we should consider an extended "shepherd" that helps identify their interests and help directly connect them to ongoing activities or how to start new ones. We might also consider making the Talossan name and coat of Arms as automatic parts of this process (with an opt-out) to encourage Talossanization. We are doing well bringing new people in only for them to go dark only to be contacted during the next election.

If our purpose is to just bring people in as fodder for our politics then that seems to be working well. If we are genuinely interested in growing our culture then there is no much to show for that effort from the Government currently.

This is an urgent call that folks following through on the all-hands on deck approach.

A Concerned Citizen.

Quote from: King Txec on November 04, 2026, 10:40:24 AMI for one am ridiculously happy that we have a potential new member of the College. Our tradition is to assign the title of Oblivious Auditing Fellow (OAF) to new members. It's a distinguished post and I held it when I first joined the College myself. I'll leave it up to either the Squirrel King of Arms or the Squirrel Viceroy of Arms to make the determination.

Traditionally, once the OAF has assisted in the creation of Arms for a couple potential armigers, the OAF is then elevated to full Fellow. I look forward to seeing you join and grow in your armorial skills. El Coletx is perhaps my favorite institution and we have done some really fun things together.

PS members of the College also traditionally sign each post with the abbreviated form of their title. Another fun thing we do!

Thank you, Your Majesty. I am looking forward to contributing to the College.

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on November 04, 2026, 12:29:14 AMQuick question: you said you actually live in Belacostă? Your application has you listed as a prospective citizen of Vuode, but if you live in Talossa proper then you are automatically assigned to the province in whose borders you reside.

Yup I live right in Belacosta. Did my student teaching there too. Not to dox myself or anything
