Nobility Calendar of Year 235

Royal Palace Office (RPO) has released the calendar for the Year 235. The royals attend various events nation wide as well as abroad. In addition there will be a few events hosted by them, and during a normal year there will be some stately guests, too.

Also the 8 high nobility houses in Mazaloom are included in this calendar. They equal to the knights of the High Order of the Baltazar - one from each region. They are less active in representation, but serve as a network that can step in when needed.

Traditionally each House will rarely accept more than two invitations per season, the royals a bit more, including patronages. High nobility Houses rarely take on community engagements outside their home region, unless being urged to by the.

For the royal family there is now a schedule section on the Royal Palace Office webpage.

It's Year 235!

A royal list of Candidates

(Year 235, Spring) In less than two years Crown Princess Emireza will grow up and everyone keep asking why is she not already dating at 23? Penny Peters is our fresh Romance Consultant, and she can assure us that King Tarriot and Queen Venezia have been busy for years already, picking the best candidates for their daughter.

Romance Consultant Penny Peters provides her services in San Myshuno.

In this matter nothing will be left to randomness.

Gossips #19

(Year 235, Spring) Hello again! Here's my 19th issue with gossips from all over the nation! I'll keep my blabbering to a minimum, because there is so much to cover during this era of nobility.

In case you hardly recognized me, I borrowed my outfit from the recent fashion collection, and was even inspired to try this experimental hairstyle for this day only! Grab your cup and join me!

As usual, we'll start with the royals!

People Chamber: The Ministers

(Year 235, Spring) Following Election Day, the RIGHT party managed to form a leading group of 11 seats, meaning Mr. Charloman Dougham (62) is our new Prime Minister. Now he also presented the 5 new Ministers leading each their ministry, as well as the ministries' members.

RIGHT party got 4 minister posts, but because they depended on MIDDLE party, MIDDLE's 1st candidate got one minister post.

As usual, several of the new positions might stir some protests in he future. Mr. Dougham explains:

- We tried to avoid many of the conflicting positions that might cause some questions, but there will always be a couple ministry members that might have suited better elsewhere. This time, at least we avoided siblings in the same ministry, as my sister Charlotta was not getting a seat at all. There is a married couple where both have a seat for the same party (the Peppersones), so we made sure they are in different ministries. In certain situations we also avoided multiple ministry members representing the same region, but with only 8 regions this was hard to go by all over.

The community section's political system overview has now been updated with the Y235 results.

Judith Ward Widowed (again)

(Year 235, Spring) In a press release, global star Judith Ward (71) informs that her husband Don Lothario died last night, aged 91. This is her 4th marriage to end, two of them ending in a divorce and the other two with death. Don Lothario was known to move in at The Ward Den to serve the Actress as her Butler, and despite marrying and having several common children, rumors have it he kept tending to his Butler and Mixologist chores.

The press release focused more on the widow than her deceased husband, though. Judith Ward is in horrible grieves, seeing no way out of this gruesome loss of hers.

Royal Speculations

(Year 235, Spring) There was quite the buzz the other day, when King Tarriot and Queen Venezia were observed in Bellacorde. An anonymous bypasser shared the two following pictures on SimMedia, stirring speculations.

Witnessing royals dancing in their outerwear might be one thing. Several commented that this sight was unexpeced and that they might had preferred some more elegant outfits when seeing royals walzing. But then it turned out the snaps were taken on one of the last days of Winter, and some found it heartwarming seeing what might be an impulsive action by a king and his queen. They are humans after all!

Details from the Year 235 Election

(Year 235, Spring) This election was the closest ever! If you plan to watch the 14 minutes TV-special, please stop reading, because this report will obviously include numerous spoilers.

Election TV special was hosted by Paulo Caliente and Cassandra G. Mux-Raisser.

We technically got TWO winning parties, but thanks to the rule saying the total vote score of a party's new Councilors will deside if needed, we were able to pick a final winner. There have been debates suggesting that the number of won regions would make the final count easier, and this might be implemented for future elections, but for the Year 235 this would not have changed anything as RIGHT won 4 regions and LEFT won 3. The 8th region was won by MIDDLE party.

Year 235 Election - TV Special

(Year 235, Spring) Voting is closing and in a few we will get the Year 235 Election results! This time the  TV special is hosted by Paulo Caliente and Cassandre (Goth) Mux-Raisser.

This time 4 political parties fought over the 20 seats at People Chamber, making it harder than ever to predict a winner. So, who is our next Prime Minister?

Full TV special is below (14 minutes). Be warned - it's all a bit on the nerdy side...

A detailed blog article will follow shortly, but in order to avoid video spoilers, you'll get a couple days to watch the TV special first. 

Election Day: Will You Vote?

(Year 235, Spring) It's 1st day of Spring, and this year there is am election. In other words, it's Election Day, and we traveled to Spice Market in San Myshuno to check with people if they had already voted.

The standard questions were:

A. Where do you live?
B. Why are you here?
C. Will you vote?
D. Who will become our next Prime Minister?

A group of 3 turned out to be Miko Ojo, Akira Kibo, and their teenage son, Pecci.

A Friendly Duel

(Year 235, Spring) At a press conference His Royal Majesty King Tarriot announced that he has joined the Noble Swordsmanship Club as a member. The club was founded by Crown Princess Emireza this Winter.

What he did not mention, is the fact that he and his daughter are known to challenge each other for friendly sword duels whenever they get a chance. A busy schedule is not always stopping them from pulling their swords!

Mazaloom NEWS - Year 234

(Year 234, Winter) Finally! Year 234 - most likely the longest lasting year ever - now belongs to the past! It means there is a fresh Mazaloom NEWS video up, covering a lot of what took place in Mazaloom kingdom.

This time the video format is slightly adjusted, but Paulo Caliente is still your host. It also gets easier editing the project on a new editor, after taking some time to learn the basic features. This video is the first to be saved in the format that might be the very best option for the Youtube channel.

Scandal in Evergreen Harbor

(Year 234, Winter) This week Evergreen Harbor woke up to a new local scandal, as a central household seems to break up. Yasemin (Pigulock) Tinker (55) and Tina (Chestnut) Tinker (48) has been residing the old Pigulock Manor for decades, and their daughter Olive Tinker has already turned 16.

The couple has been well known for their ECO lifestyle, and especially Tina has fronted all that the modern Evergreen Harbor is known for. On the other side, Yasemin, is the daughter of long gone industry mogul Henry Pigulock. Now she has announced that she wants to bring the old Pigulock Industries, Inc. back to life!

Yasemin has adapted the ECO friendly look on life, and she plays a big role in bringing this district forward in a greener direction. Both Yasemin and Tina has supported the green MIDDLE party, but when the candidates were released a while ago, only Tina was on that list. Yasemin was found on the RIGHT party's list, indicating she now supports business and profit over ecology.
