Newsletter No. 5 - April 12, 1998 |
*** CORVINIA NEWSLETTER *** No. 5 *** April 12, 1998 *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW CENSUS A new version of the census has been implemented - the old one had become too big and therefore too download-heavy. The new version of the census contains an index, plus a page for each citizen, with various details. - One detail of the new design is the possibility for having your picture on the Net. I am therefore calling for pictures of the Principality's subjects, preferably in electronic form, though I can provide limited scanning. - Electronic images should be supplied in JPEG format, 130 pixels wide by 180 pixels high. If you cannot supply images in this format, please supply them in a more information-rich data format. - Some members of the peerage have yet to determine their coats of arms, mottos, etc. If you have any personal wishes, now is the time to let me know, or I'll just hang a blazon on you, willy-nilly. - The new census pages contain the possibility for an e-mail / homepage link. Does anyone feel that they have forgotten to supply this vital information? - I would like very much for people to have a look at their own page in the census and check the validity of the information given. Are there any errors or lacunae? SOCIETAS CORVINIENSIS IS DEAD As augured in the previous newsletter, Societas Corviniensis is now dead. Outstanding monies will be reimbursed by the cashier (yours truly). This was a good idea, which we'll have to re-invent at a later date. SUGGESTIONS? If anybody feels a burning desire to see some detail elaborated upon on the pages of Corvinia, for instance by an entry in the Encyclopedia Corviniana, please feel free to contact the Ministry of Propaganda (for the time being, myself). REUNION AFFAIR CONTINUES In recent weeks, the Chancellor of Reunion, Matt Dabrowski, has apparently bit off more than he could chew. Whereas Reunion has apparently not paid any especial attention to Dabrowski's furor of international diplomatic incidents (insulting everyone, left, right and center), the Emperor of Reunion has taken offense at an egregious insult offered by Dabrowski to the Premier of Reunion, P. Aguiar, in an internal Reunian discussion. The Emperor has decided to place the Imperial Chancellery under the authority of the Premier, which has not hitherto been the case, and this has caused Dabrowski to resign. He will, however, continue as a memeber of the Imperial Council, wherefore Corvinia does not, at this time, see fit to reestablish diplomatic relations with Reunion. THE PRINCE'S BIRTHDAY - REMINDER Just a brief reminder of the Prince's Birthday reception: The reception will be held on April 16, from 6:30-9:00 PM (or later, should the Heir be able to stay awake) in the Principality Heartlands: (address omitted) (enclave within the Kingdom of Denmark) A light buffet will be served (don't show up with a regimental appetite), and soft drinks, wine, and especially beer will be available. Kindest regards, Your Prince, Peter I Ravn |
