(I apologize again for throwing a bit of water on things to make sure we follow the law, but after the slew of false accusations regarding immigration levelled at the Government so far this summer I didn't see a need to add a credible one to the mix...)

I suggest we restart the petition, only to avoid the weird legal issue from Julian's petition re: whether I have to follow the old law or the new law.

What's funny is that you have repeatedly referred to me by that term and several others all while claiming you are fighting for a non-toxic environment. In the meantime, I will keep reminding people that you know what a real sex pest is because you were closely aligned with one. And that you engaged in the harassment you continue to accuse others of.

Julian, I complimented the Secretary of State which has somehow become an allegation that he was sexually harassed. It has been an embarassing political project conducted by usually intelligent and reasonable people. But their grudges have gotten the best of them which happens to the best of us.

Btw, if you need examples of a real sex pest, you can review a news articles of a former ally of Miestra's, Carlus Xheralterescu here: https://www.cambrian-news.co.uk/news/courts/former-aberystwyth-mayor-avoids-jail-for-sex-acts-with-student-609195 He was also involved in the Republic with Miestra before her arrival here. Miestra knows better because she has paled around with one.

And if you want to see examples of our Seneschal providing rough music and revelling in causing mental harm then here you go. The bill includes quotes that don't need context: https://wiki.talossa.com/Law:61RZ17_Sense_of_the_Ziu:_Moving_Forward_Without_Rough_Music

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on August 24, 2025, 07:09:51 PMThe King's objection to recruiting people who don't show real interest in Talossa simply as voting fodder is a real one which I share. But assuming that people will do that because it's in their party's best interests, what are you going to do to stop them? If these people are clearly devoid of shame, asking them nicely will only make them do the thing harder. You could bring in a higher bar of activity by legislation, and that will just drive the *other* opposition party absolutely bonkers.

The Government feels in a no-win situation here, and we would rather not allow the opposition parties to beat us up for anything that could be said to halt immigration. The stakes are lower for state officials who don't have an election coming up lol. Best for us to try to improve the cultural factors to encourage prospectives to take more interest (like, for example, stronger social sanctions on creepy sex pests).

When we find the sex pest please let me know, is it Carlus (the FreeDem) or Iusti (the RUMPER) you are referring to?...I would also support stronger social sanctions against those who engage in rough music.

Quote from: Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP on August 24, 2025, 06:57:15 PMRight, I was more so saying that there was some grumbling when someone with 7 posts in two weeks were let in, but no outward rejection. I don't remember anyone ever testing the lower limit any further because usually, people who didnt post enough would just not get petitioned for, and that would be the end of it.

Lack of engagement would make sense as an explanation, though from my perspective that's not really anything new.

That is more or less my point. Lack of engagement should be enough to not get a petition. Merely having a pulse shouldn't be enough.

Your Majesty, I thought about this earlier today and wanted to check in. Do you know when you plan to have the second Royal Coffee? You had mentioned busy times around the start of school so imagined it might be in September?
