What's Happening in Talossa? Find Out Here!

[Ian Plätschisch]

Fellow Talossans,

Our great Kingdom is constantly bustling with new initiatives. However, very few of them ever get very far, mostly because people forget about them after an initial burst of activity and then the thread falls off of the first page. Then, when an excited new immigrant arrives, or when an old citizens briefly returns from inactivity, no one can seem to tell them about what it is that actually happens here, and then they leave.

If only there was a thread that was always pinned at the top of Talossa's main forum that listed, in detail, everything in all areas of Talossan endeavor, and linked to the relevant threads, and listed the relevant contacts. Ambitious, right?

This is that thread. 

I have done my best here to comb through many old pages to collect everything I can. However, I am sure there are things I missed, and I hope many more items will need to be added in the future. Therefore, while I will try my best to keep this up to date, if there is anything you ever want added, or if I have made a mistake, feel free to let me know here (even if you are a new citizen or still an applicant). I should also point out that not all of the activities listed here are currently active, but you might be able to revive it if you express interest in it or want to take the initiative to get it going again.

Without further ado:

Of course, there are also many long-lost projects that you may want to try your hand at reviving. These include:
-Citizenship Certificates
-Fantasy Soccer
-Maricopan Poker Tournament
-Talossan Evening Chat Show
-Talossan Risk

But most importantly:
Always feel free to start something new
(even if something similar already exists)

You're great, Ian! This compilation is an awesome and helpful thing to do!
Just a small updat - Independent Talossan Activity Centre doesn't really exist, it was just an idea that went nowhere :)
Keep going, this list is great and I hope people (prospectives including) will undestand ther's a lot of thing you can do in Talossa.

I included several things that hardly went anywhere, out a belief that me listing them here would remind everyone that they exist, which might cause people to return to them.

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

makes sense!

[Iason Bitxichë Taiwos]

Excellent job, Ian! Just one small thing, could you change Tournament of Waterloo to A.B.B.A.? The Tournament of Waterloo is an event held by A.B.B.A. (Asociu Buci Benitian Atgletics), our provincial bocce league.

[Audrada Rôibeardét]

It's not called 'Toxophilite Clubhouse'. It's called the Toxophilite Club...and it's been shut down for awhile.

Is there a different link I should use?

I took the liberty of including many groups that haven't had any activity for a while, hoping that people would "rediscover" them.

I could take it off if you really wanted, though.

There is a different link, but it's outdated. (Maybe I should make a brand new thread for ABBA...)

I didn't realize BT had a website.

I also didn't realize you were planning to resurrect it a few days after I made the list.

I'm happy to see that you getting more involved around here again though. I'll add it shortly.

[Xheneta Britxind]

Great idea. Thanks for doing this!
