Maricopa / Re: Next Cabana and Premieir
Last post by King Txec - October 03, 2026, 11:13:11 AM
As there is nothing in our constitution preventing it, I hereby claim a seat in the Cabana and open the call for nominations of a Premieir.

Accordingly, I nominate @Françal I. Lux as the next Premier.

Just to reiterate, we are not bartering here. We're not striking a deal. You asked what you needed to do to move on, and I told you something that we had all discussed and that seemed like it would actually show both real remorse and a desire to learn. We're not negotiating about what you get in exchange, because this is not an exchange.

Personally, I don't think you will agree to these steps, because I don't think you actually feel sorry or think you did anything wrong. But it felt unfair and like a bad precedent to leave you in perpetual limbo. Just about everybody has the capacity to change and grow, and you deserve a chance to demonstrate that. You can do that or not.

Just as it has always been, the choice is yours.

A huge thanks to all who have submitted recipes! As we enter the final weeks before publication I'd like to announce that the submission period for recipes will end on October 15th. Please be sure to get in your tasty tales before then.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 03, 2026, 10:41:04 AMI'll say something along the lines of, "We asked him to take these concrete steps to show his remorse and begin to educate himself.  He has successfully done this."

I'm not sure what else you want.  We're not bartering here.  These are specific and concrete things you can do to show remorse and begin to rehabilitate yourself.

I want an actual statement saying that the boycott against me and my husband has ended. Please list the specific aspects of the boycott that have ended for clarity. There is no deal without it being posted here.

Both you and Miestra stated that if I apologized that would be sufficient. I apologized once and was told it was insincere and insufficient. I apologized again and two months later am now told it took too long. Now I want rock-solid, public commitments that this third time is it.

I do not trust either of you so please help end this by showing that if your two conditions are met you will treat my husband respectfully and that we are clear of this terrible period in history.

What actions will you and Miestra take publicly to confirm the end of the boycott?

I mean public statements, etc.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on October 01, 2026, 10:56:13 PMThese rules were in use during the last two Informal Sessions so I would hope they are uncontroversial. If there are any objections to them not just from S:reu Moin but from other Members of the Cosă, I'd be happy to hear them.
Would I still be able to take on the Tuisc'hach responsibility if I'm unable to attend video/audio conferences, but can handle the duties through other means?

Thank you to everyone for your support. I'm pleased to accept the nomination for Túischac'h. of the Cosa. I look forward to serving and helping keep its proceedings organized and productive. I should also mention that, due to some limitations, I may not be able to attend video/Audio conferences, but I'm fully committed to carrying out the responsibilities of the position.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on October 01, 2026, 12:59:31 PMAfter the Seneschal's recent vote, I posted the following notes on my own votes:

QuoteAlso, why are people still voting against legislation due to my sponsorship? I have apologized to Luc, refrained from repeated instances of what was problematic, and have been gracious with others. What is the current purpose of the social boycott?

What is the new purpose (or adapted old purpose) of this continuing social boycott? Was my second apology viewed as insincere? Have I offended additional people? Or is it being done until I leave?

I felt this was a reasonable question.  There should be a path to redemption for anyone.  You apologized  -- after an incredible amount of public pressure, but you did eventually do it.  But I think in combination with a lot of your other behavior, it makes it seem harder to work with you in any capacity.

I mean, you've become famous for your nagging... when you lodge a request with someone, you nag them over and over in public until they oblige or answer you.  It's effective, but it's rude, and you don't seem to care how it looks.  Similarly, throwing your husband under the bus with the party switch was a pretty callous thing to do.  I don't know how your apology would have landed after so much time and pressure in any case, but your behavior hasn't helped one bit.

Still, this situation represents an opportunity for growth, and the status quo probably can't continue.  So after some discussion, here's the deal:

We'd like to see a gesture of remorse to show that you regret your actions, and we'd like to be sure this doesn't happen again to anyone else.  Accordingly, I think people would be prepared to normalize things and move on if two things happened:

1.  You should resign from the Cosa for the remainder of this term.  Being an MZ is something that you seem to value, and if you were to resign from the Cosa it would be something material you could do to show contrition.  You'd be voluntarily paying a price for your past mistakes in a way that everyone could see and believe.  Under the current circumstances, it wouldn't materially affect national politics much.

2.  Second, we would like you to undertake an educational course in how to understand and prevent sexual harassment of all kinds.  This course specifically is well-reviewed and offers a graduation certificate that can be verified by outsiders as genuine.

I sincerely hope you will choose to take these steps, painful and awkward as it might be for you, and then we can maybe all begin to move past this.  You will have paid a price and worked towards rehabilitation, and that will be something worthwhile.

There we go. True concrete steps. I see two requirements for me. On your side, as the enforcers of the boycott, what actions do you agree to take to note its end?
