[Suggestion] New Security Council Proposal

[Adytus]

I think it would be interesting to allow the Security Council to stop troubling nations from gathering influence. The new proposal, when applied to a nation, would prevent the nation from obtaining influence in any region they enter, and could automatically expire in X amount of days. The number of days could be determined in the proposal. I think that would be cool, and perhaps give the council more activity, and purpose. The proposal could still be repealed like the typical resolutions too. It could be similar to an international blockade, or sanctions, and that could be the name of this type of proposal as well. "Sanction Nation X."

Passing a proposal like this could make raiding slightly more difficult

Allow me to speak for all the staff:

"Only when hell freezes over. What we're gonna do instead is create a point tally for every time a nation contributes towards the successful conquering of a region".

...it's sad that I'm not too far from the truth.

You r not, I agree with u on that

But is that not the point of the Security Council?

I'm no expert, but I am going to go with a NO.

The SC does 3 things:
Commend/Condemn; and neither affects raining in the slightest, aside from having a badge.
Liberations do affect Raiding, but (I believe) have been used by raiders as a tool to further their raids, and really only affect long-term raids.

Again, I'm no expert so feel free to correct me.

Liberations, historically, have been used "offensively" before. NAZI EUROPE (prior to being refounded) was once-upon-a-time founderless and had a Liberation imposed upon it, which meant that the Nazis couldn't lock down the region or try to refound it themselves. There's a bunch of debate about what is/was "right" in those threads - including some players that usually agree with each other falling on opposite sides of that battle.

It's an intriguing idea, but I think the net result would be simply making the purely mechanical tag-raiding even more attractive versus longer-term, more political and subterfuge-driven coups. Individual nations are extremely disposable, especially in the raiding community, there's no way these Sanction proposals could keep up with that. What it would do well for is weakening potential target regions, making them more difficult to defend, or make in-region coups easier by hampering the sitting delegate's (or border control RO's) ability to eject detractors. It would be completely ineffective at stopping or even slowing all but the absolute most amateur of newbie raiders.

Cutting ALL influence gain is too much, IMO. Maybe something that slows influence gain rather than stop it dead.

Please don't.

I'm certainly open to new SC categories, but this one needs more thought put into how it'd be used and what the impact of that would be.

[The Blaatschapen]

One problem with this category is that the people who are raiding, use puppets. SC proposals don't target "players" but rather "nations". So it would both require a puppet-check related to this (not likely; though there is something in place for voting on dispatches) and/or a breach of the fourth wall when it comes to the SC.
