So Where is the Seneschal?

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

It has been 10 days since the Seneschal logged in to Witt. Has he officially delegated his powers?

[Eðo Grischun]

10 days.

WOW!

[Sir C. M. Siervicül]

Here I am! An explanation is in order.

It turns out that my second Dandelion arrived a little prematurely. I spent several days at the hospital as my wife delivered our son and then he made a brief stay at the NICU, followed by a couple of days at home recovering and dealing with the, erm, assistance of my in-laws. They departed yesterday.

I did notify the Distain that I would be absent when we went to the hospital. I expect things will start getting more-or-less back to normal for me now, at least in terms of availability for Talossan affairs. I see there is a terpelaziun for me in the Ziu forum, and expect to address it tomorrow morning.

[Dr. Txec dal Nordselvă]

Congrats on the baby! That of course took priority (though it would have been nice if the Distain let us know so we didn't think you had vanished entirely!).

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Everything is getting done, and major projects are on track. The MinStuff is working on our websites actively, the coins projects is ready to actually get going, and stamps are moving forward. Immigration is humming along, holidays and our culture are being promoted, and our social media is in regular active use for the first time in years. The mandatory activity reports are actually posted in full, along with a complete budget and a full finance report. All Terps have been answered on time, even though at one point they were arriving at a pace of one every other day.

I don't think there's anything to worry about -- seems to me like the Seneschal is keeping everything on track just fine!

Thanks!

In fairness to Lüc, at first I told him I would only be absent for a couple of days (ha ha, how naïve!). So I assume he didn't feel the need to say anything publicly because for the past several days both he and I thought I would be back online aaaaany minute now.

You know it makes no difference if "things are getting done" when your party loudly complains if a Seneschal from any other party is gone for a few days.

Huh. Well, it makes a difference to us. That contrast might speak to the change in government activity level.

Either way, I'm just glad that things are happening and that we're finally going to get things like coins, ID cards, active social media, an updated website, etc.

New dandelion! Congratulationn Seneschal Sir C. M. Siervicül!

Hey, I'm proud! Can't blame me for being happy about what we're getting done, can you? And think of it this way: at least you're spared my relentless fortnightly teasers and announcements and promotion of Beric'ht Talossan!

There's a ton of folks working hard, and they don't get paid and don't really get much else beyond pride in their service to the country. The least I can do is try to make sure people are aware of their efforts and appreciate them
