[CANCELLED] Repeal "Liberate Christmas"

Postby The Isles of Random » Wed Mar 26, 2014 6:10 am

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #95: Liberate Christmas shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: UNDERSTANDING the importance of the resolution to liberate Christmas in the time when it was enacted as a successful way of saving the region.

HOWEVER, it has crippled the local defense, making it an easy target for raiders.

FOR the past few weeks the region was in the hands of The Ethernal Knights, and The Black Riders.

CHRISTMAS is currently governed by the Meritocratic Liberation Army, the goal of which is the creation of a stable native goverment, and its forces are going to stay there only untill the creation of such.

WISHING to remove the horrible irony that a region, bearing the name of such a happy holiday is now a horrible place instability and chaos.

BELIEVING that Christmas should once again be a happy and secure region.

HEREBY repeals Security Council Resolution # 95 "Liberate Christmas".

I have absolutely nothing to do with the above proposal in the spoiler. Apparently people decided that this would be the forum for the current repeal, but whatever.

The following project has been cancelled. Please do not talk about it.

Repeal "Liberate Christmas"

Aware that Christmas is a region treasured for its name,

Appalled that Christmas has been subjected to almost weekly raids by multiple raider groups including The Black Riders,

Concerned that Christmas, a quiet,docile community, has no means of fending off these attacks,

Believing that any future raids of Christmas can be prevented by allowing a delegate to impose a password visible to residents,

Hereby repeals SC #95 "Liberate Christmas"



Submission pending Christmas Delegate

Comments, suggestions, concerns?

Does anyone have any problems with this repeal?

I am relatively new to how the SC works and I would appreciate any help.

Currently I am working with Christmas to see if they can produce a native delegate.

Why repeal it before they have a Delegate? That seems to counteract all the logic in your proposal.

Good point, that is why I have placed it in the draft section. Not straight up to the floor.

But any other technical issues, illegalities, or other stuff?

No, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should submit. Even the natives of Christmas could get their own Delegate (which they have shown a stark propensity to not do in the past, hence why the Liberation was necessary in the first place), that's not really a good enough reason to repeal the Liberation in this case, IMHO.

This was my text to repeal SC#95. It contains a lot more material, as you can see.

Repealing Liberate Christmas would certainly spell it's death in raider hands. Various raider orgs. have been targeting Christmas for refounding for years and having the ability to place a password would be catastrophic for the region. Liberate Christmas was one of the most significant Liberations to pass the SC. Furthermore, this feels like repealing for repealing's sake. AGAINST.

I agree with Eist on this one as well. Liberate Christmas had some inordinately large amount of discussion when it came up (most of which I was in attack mode for), and it's a region that is probably better off, in the end, keeping the Liberation.

Ambassador, I only intend to submit this if the Christmas natives are willing to get their own delegate.

And no it is not repealing for repealing's sake. Over the last month, there has been two raids by the The Black Riders, as well as several raids by lesser known groups. And for each invasion, there has been a rescue by someone else.

Again, this is on hold until Christmas nations get a delegate.

If you're scrambling just to get a native Delegate in place, I guarantee you TBR or some other group will have double those WA numbers by the time a repeal passes. Raiders would snatch the region, and we'd have to go through this same song and dance all over again.

If you can get a trustworthy and enduring delegate that can hold over 30 endorsements for over 12 months, then I will support this resolution. Until then, I consider the region vulnerable and will not support removing the liberation currently in place.

In short, just having some delegate in place is not even close to a compelling reason to remove the liberation.

I now see how this would not work. I will withdraw my proposal. Thank you for your consideration.

Magnificent. The Black Riders can raid and tag that dump again and again and again... and natives cannot put it behind a lock. We can have our Never ending Black Christmas forever! :P

Oh, how lovely. They will be in command just long enough for the next raider group to pimpslap em out of power and back into obscurity. And the cycle will begin again. The liberation will always be there, and any of these noob fenda groups that do a little reading into why it's there in the first place will know why it will never be repealed.

After my brief conversation with Eist, I will not be supporting any form of repeal of "Liberate Christmas" until a native delegate is in firm control of the region.

And to the ambassador from Port Blood, the "noob" delegate was overthrown by a sleeper cell of some region I don't know.

I am done with Christmas.

This seems unnecessary at the current point in time and not conducive to the regions' best interests.

And it's April for goodness sake! I don't like to be reminded of Christmas until December 24th at the earliest!

The problem with Christmas is that there is no "best interest" of the region. The natives do not care.
