[Abandoned] Liberate Christmas

[Benevolent Thomas]

The whole point of this resolution was to get TEK into the halls of the WASC for whatever reason.

I think something this mongerulous is worth it.

I actually googled the term "mongerulous" thinking it was a word I haven't learned yet

[Cormac Pendragon]

Full support. Every time Christmas gets attention my ego gets stroked.

Not exactly. To be honest, I'm surprised no one has noticed what I've done yet... and why it's written in an odd fashion.

Liberate Christmas

A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.

Category: Liberation | Nominee: Christmas | Proposed by: Nephmir

Description: The World Assembly Security Council,

Evaluating Christmas' status,

Treating Christmas as a region without any remaining natives, instead being opened to the entire international community as a region open to all,

Encouraging nations to freely come and go peacefully without concerns of foreign aggression,

Realizing that the region of Christmas already has a Liberation in place by this council through [resolution=SC#95]SC#95: "Liberate Christmas"[/resolution],

Noticing that despite the presence of a Liberation, this region has been ruthlessly invaded many times without end,

Approving sanctions for the region's protection and well-being as viewed by the international community, the same community this region has its borders open to,

Listing the organizations that have raided Christmas, despite the presence of a Liberation already in place, including but not limited to:

• The Black Riders
• The Eternal Knights
• The United Imperial Armed Forces
• The Black Hawks
• Sicarius
• Red Armor
• The Black Watch

Wishing to provide additional protection from this council, and to turn Christmas into a less appealing target for foreign invasions,

Attempting to fulfill this council's purpose of "spreading international peace" by

Rendering the region of Christmas to be virtually indestructible,

Hereby Liberates Christmas.

this is all [*Loud thunder in the distance]

[Redsward]

Nephmir, you got it ALL WRONG. Red Armor didn't touch Christmas at all! I know for sure because I am Inaga, Grandmaster of Red Armor.

[Benevolent Thomas]

You need to add the UDL to the list too. they once occupied it for about a fortnight.

[New Brussels]

Did the UIAF invade it even after the liberation?

[RiderSyl]

Amusing.

It just so happens that the author lists the region that they're the 'King' of and share the founder account to, 'The Eternal Knights', 2nd in the list of regions that raided Christmas... when they took Christmas to attempt a 'liberation' and handed the region over to a defender organization after only a week. That's not a raid, for fuck's sake.

Not to mention, I'd have real trouble believing that an objective author would list TeK above the likes of UIAF and The Black Hawks, with Lone Wolves United going completely unlisted as well.

Then again, this is the same author that called Lazarus an Imperialist GCR, so having a detachment from reality when it comes to NS Gameplay isn't anything new to see in these proposals.

I checked, TEK visit of christmas lasted a day, instead of a week.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Well we all know TBR has to be on top of the list to pass it, right?

And Neph, some of us saw your little "Eternal War" trick there, but just didn't care much

[Feux]

Alright. Here is where I get stuck:

Noticing that despite the presence of a Liberation, this region has been ruthlessly invaded many times without end,

Wishing to provide additional protection from this council, and to turn Christmas into a less appealing target for foreign invasions,

The arguments you have presented do not justify the passing of another liberation. You have stated within the proposal that the liberation has done nothing to further protect the nominee region; however, you wish to pass another believing it will have a lesser appeal to raiders - fully aware that the liberation has done nothing to stop them at all. I completely agree with comrade Milograd, this proposal is extreme mongering with its current presented arguments. I know it can get rather boring in the Security Council at times, but the solution to this problem should not be found by lowing the standards in which this assembly typical attempts to adhere to.

[Jolly Ole Saint Nick]

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Whether the residents of Christmas are "natives" or not is not terribly relevant. From our private discussions and private familiarities, I would say that Christmas does indeed have it's own community, culture, and "natives" whether anyone wants to recognize it or not.

I enjoy our Liberation, as it serves to make Christmas a player endorsed Warzone where 'raiders', 'defenders', 'imperialists', and any others can come and play. And prevents any one 'side' from using the region as a long term trophy. I do wish The Black Riders would leave our colourful "Merry Christmas" in place on the WFE when they tag the region though. No reason they can't just add their text and leave that in place.

If it's that much of a problem, I'll remove it. I love reverse psychology!

Also, I wasn't certain whether or not LWU had raided them, I don't really keep tabs on them much anymore, but I'll replace them with "The Eternal Knights" instead. Better?

[Robot Santa-]

Ho, ho, ho! Robot Santa still occupies Christmas to this day! We should be included in the resolution too!

[Nephmir]

Submitted.

[RiderSyl]

So, uh, what's the point in this from a pragmatic standpoint? Christmas already has a liberation in place. A second one won't change anything.

Well, the region will be harder to secure. Two repeals will need to reach quorum and pass in at least six days. Much more difficulty than doing it for one liberation. The Christmas natives want their region to become a warzone in the first place.

[RiderSyl]

That doesn't sound like what the Liberation is trying to achieve here, though.

We've got two gimmicks by him, basically. A crossword, and a poem.

[Redsward]

He's probably going to launch a raid on it. Nephmir is officially the new Lenin.

[New Brussels]

I don't know, but didn't we get a ruling saying that you can only pass two liberations if they are for different purposes? Isn't this one pretty much synonymous to the current liberation?

[The Isles of Random]

Can I get a cookie for being delegate of Christmas three random times over the past year?

In all seriousness though, the proposal isn't very nice to the folks who live in the region. I should totally become delegate again and vote against this if it ever reaches to quorum because it is borderline insulting.

[Bankai Kurosaki]

I think this resolution might be the best intelligence brief I've ever received from any source, concerning enemy morale and intentions: they literally don't know what to do, so they're going to embrace at least one definition of insanity and waste everyone's time twice, on the hypothesis that zero multiplied by two produces a larger result!

Speaking as ardent member of the international NationStates terrorist community ("Building a better tomorrow, one bloodbath at a time!"), I wholeheartedly support this resolution, on the grounds that it's so tremendously difficult to find decent entertainment these days.

[Nephmir]

Well this is a game. So I though I'd do something fun. So I wanted to see a region with two Liberations on it.

...that's pretty much it.
