Coronation

[Barclamïu da Miéletz]

I think I've said it somewhere but I'm really looking forward to transmitting the coronation on my channel. Could I be notified in advance of necessary preparations for the transmission?

Once we have something firm, we'll let you know. As it stands, I have no real idea of when the actual coronation could occur. However, I'd also be happy to do an interview with you for your channel upon my accession also.

What are the thoughts of everyone in regard to a regnal ordinal? Most monarchies only employ an ordinal if more than one monarch has used the same name. However, it seems like a Talossan tradition that kings use an ordinal even if there is no one after them with the same name. I see John I or Ian I in use sometimes. My personal opinion is I will be simply Txec and not Txec I but if the general consensus is different, I'm good with that also.

Generally speaking, I think that people only have ever used Ian I when they were not actually aware of the conventions that are typical. I think we should probably stick with the traditional use, where you would just be King Txec.

Just an opinion, why not re sequence the numbers and make it the number to hold the position... that would make Ben the 1st, 3rd, 4th , robert the second, Florence the 5th, king louis the sixth, john/ian the 7th, ect. (Forgive my royal history). I think king Deridricx the 29th, the future king of talossa gives the number a nice liniange that isn't required to be biological as the position no longer is tied to. Like our Neighbours leader Joe Biden The 46th makes it sound ancient and storied.

Wouldn't a lot of people find this very confusing, for the reasons you mention? It's not a mark of a term of office, but rather a list of the people who actually held that position with the same name, to differentiate them.

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

Guess I should start preparing the questions for the interview then ;) (this will be grand content for my small new channel).

Edit: Wow, this is my 600th post.

On another thought along this line, I believe we need MORE virtual meet-ups and get togethers. We should be holding Living Cosas, and I as king will be present at as many of them as I can be. Seeing each other humanizes us.

I am really happy to hear someone else say this. I proposed in the Reform thread that we actually require a Living Cosa each term as a part of expanding the term. It is much harder to call people names when you see their face (and their immediate reaction).

Ahem, I would also like to make a media request? Perhaps, Fora Talossa could broadcast your first Independence Day message?

Intriguing statement Breneir...

When the statement is put into practice the results will likely be much more intriguing Barclamiu.

It definitely will be, I guess.

In the meantime, I am excited to now have two video channels for Talossa and a monarch who is open to being seen and heard.

Sure. I hadn't planned specifically to read it on camera, and I KNOW I will butcher the Talossan peppered throughout it, but I don't see why not.

I don't know about that. Certainly that's traditional in larger countries; but KR1 always called himself that before there was a KR2 (Allà rest his soul).

Was Florence also called King Florence I?

That's a fair point. We haven't really done that though, and it hasn't been the predominant practice in the current era. I also think it's more dignified not to have an ordinal if you have the choice.

Frequently. Opinions and usage differed, though.

She was such a fascinating woman, and she must have been an extraordinary teacher.

[King Txec]

I guess we could call it a royal prerogative and leave it up to me to decide :-)

I like more your response from here:

I thought it was "King John" and not "King John I".

it's both, but the latter is more formal. He's the first King John! He would be the third King Robert, if that were his name, or the second King Florence.

I like that duality of in-/formality.

[Baron Alexandreu Davinescu]

Yeah, makes sense.
