Do you intend to campaign for this, or should we give up on this proposal?
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

If you actually understood how gameplay works you wouldn't be asking that question. 8)

I didn't think I'd have to foe your SC puppet as well, but have it your way.

Good to hear. We wish you luck.

And Submitted, this time with an actual chance of making it. Tim has agreed to help campaign again. Christmas does not fall in the middle of the timeline during which this needs to be approved.

So who is drafting the new condemnation?

It's not a new condemnation, simply a re-submission of the previous one during a more opportune time period.

Yes, and when the current condemnation is repealed by this proposal who will draft a new one to replace it? Or am I to understand that there is no intention of replacing it?

It could be replaced, or it might not. Anyone can write a Condemnation, but they should be of better quality. And better no Condemnation than a Condemnation that looks bad in the halls of the SC.

I would do it, but I draw the line at self condemnations. I mean, I'm perfectly capable of explaining how great I am, but how am I supposed to know how much of a tool I am? :P

In all seriousness though, I do not know if we have reached the "DEN deserves a condemnation" threshold yet (that has been the argument against condemning DEN in the past). I mean... we could be there... we could not be there... I honestly don't know. If we have, someone experienced should probably get to work on a draft.

My bad, I misread what you said. I'll claim a lack of morning coffee and too much to drink the night before as the reason. I'm not super willing to, but I imagine there's capable folks that will.

I'd just like to ask any delegate who hasn't approved of this proposal to please do so. We only need a few more approvals to get it in queue.

I come across regions attacked by you guys often enough that there's no question about it in my mind.

I would say no but I'm obviously mildly bitter and not objective. There is the case for one, but I think it would be better if DEN got some more stuff under their belt in their current form, rather than relying on past DEN achievements.

Just as an update to folks, this is (thankfully) now in the queue and should be coming to vote after Commend BearNation. If anybody hasn't approved it, though, please still do! :)

When you say "past DEN achievements" I assume you mean the actions of the previous incarnation of DEN correct?

I wouldn't say they deserved that particular Condemnation. The present incarnation of DEN could use a few more big raids on their record before they should have their DEN immortalized in the SC. Also, it wasn't written very well.

Although I'm generally against repealing recent resolutions, the many errors in the proposal urge me to vote yes

As I mention in the proposal, the SC can simply condemn DEN again, but with a better quality resolution. There are too many spelling, grammar, syntax and factual errors to allow SC #187 to stand.
