Azul,
Immigration services require your help. Yes, you!
We are working on a new project and as part of that we require 'testimonials' from existing citizens to help sell Talossa to newcomers.
What do we need?
Just a few minutes of your time and creativity. We need existing citizens to write just a few lines of text aimed at 'selling' Talossa to a newcomer. Again, basically, a testimonial.
You can choose your own question to answer. Something like "Why do I love Talossa?" or "Why I decided to become Talossan" or "What being Talossan means to me". Examples are provided below. Just send me the question and answer by PM or by email or whatever method suits you best.
How does this help and how will it be used?
Your question and answer, if accepted, will be published on a new resource aimed at encouraging immigration and improving immigration services. Nothing crazy. I am just trying to build a bigger and better immigration service and I think it would be brilliant if this new resource included some testimonials from existing citizens.
What new resource?
You'll see the finished product soon enough
Basically, I am of the thinking that our online presence currently does a great job at telling the world what Talossa is, but it doesn't do such a good job at telling the world why people should become Talossan. This new immigration resource will tackle that line of thinking and will be, in part, salesmanship for the Kingdom (the other part will be to provide new ways to help prospectives settle into Talossan life... thus, the new resource will be one part pre-citizenship salesmanship and one part post-naturalization aftercare).
Tell me again what you need, exactly.
Pick a topic, or whatever... something you would want to tell a brand new prospective in the hopes that it might make them stick around for the long haul. Tell them what made you stick around. Tell them what makes you still stick around. Tell them why you love Talossa. Tell them whatever it is you think a newcomer needs to hear.
Whatever it is you want to say, please, try to frame it as a 'question and answer' type testimonial (again, examples given below).
Also, please also tell me how you want your "quote" to be credited (ie: name, initial, titles, etc: eg. Éovart Grishun, Minister of Fluff... or, EG, Citizen of Vuode... or, Eetho G. Grand Poobah of the Peculiars (Sorry Eric). )
As promised, examples (real):
Why do I love Talossa?
Talossa is so humorously eccentric, and impossible to explain to outsiders; a collection of people of all types with all sorts of interests, speaking all kinds of mother tongues (but not sufficient speaking our national language); a set of bizarre laws and means of government; a source of outside-the-box ideas and activities – what’s not to like?
– Ián Tamorán (Senior Justice of the Uppermost Cort of Talossa).
My Favorite Talossan memory:
June 2002 – My first haxh and getting off the plane and onto the jetway at Mitchell Field. I had, in the two years prior, heard so much about Milwaukee; I felt right at home.
