The SC is generally OOC

The SC is generally occupied by arrogant snobs of pig headed raiders and defenders who take their part of the game way to seriously and treat everything personally ...

That's why they hate Douria; he's a raider/defender who loves to get into character and who never takes himself seriously.

That's why they want to condemn him.

That's why they are COMPLETELY STUPID.

Because, being a raider/defender who loves to get into character and who never takes himself seriously, he wants to be Condemned. He gets a nice shiny badge. He gets his "evil" reputation acknowledged. He has FUN.

It's so hard to get FUN into the SC.

And yes, this is completely OOC!

Who said they hate Douria? I find him to be quite affable.

OOC: Condemnations are dark badges on nation or region pages. If you look at The Black Riders, they have two. Commendations, which are the opposite, are a light badge (see Todd McCloud for an example). By voting to condemn The Dourian Embassy, you are saying that they have done something bad that the World Assembly should condone. If the resolution passes, they will have the condemnation badge on their nation page.

This has always confused me. What exactly does a condemnation do anyway? Does it limit certain things? Does it just look pretty?

Seriously, I'd like to know.

I know this isn't exactly having to do with the Current Condemnation, but it affects my vote on the subject going forward.

Typically, though, Condemnations aren't used just to express disapproval over one action, they're used to express disapproval over an entire career.
Just some weeb.

Condemnations are used to express severe disapproval over the actions of a nation. An RL example would be a UN condemnation of a nation's particular action, say, for example, the UN's 1993 condemnation of Bosnian ethnic and religious genocide.

Ah, I see. So essentially it's just saying "This guy's a jerk, we don't like him."

There are some more complex theories regarding condemnations (including the "badge of honor theory), but, yes, that is the basic idea behind condemnations.
Just some weeb.

NOT.

Also considering the stunt Douria pulled with GAR#2, I am AGAINST this resolution.


Kicks DWAsnia's chair out of the way. I vote FOR the condemnation! Take that DWAsnia! I usurped your vote!

It's already passed, but I'd like to say I'm putting the GA2 fiasco aside and focus on the horrible repeals as of late. FOR.
