[ABANDONED] Repeal SC #35 "Commend the Skeleton Army"

Postby Redsward » Sun Nov 30, 2014 11:08 am

The Security Council;

WHILST APPLAUDING the generosity of the Skeleton Army towards its targets;

FINDING IT ridiculous to commend a region for declaring themselves as the "greatest raider region;"

NOTICING that the resolution fails to serve it purpose- inspiring other invader regions to follow the Skeleton Army's tactics, thus nullifying the ninth clause in SC #35;

ANGERED by the bias towards invaders that is shown in SC #35, which contradicts with the World Assembly's neutrality to nations and regions of all types;

BELIEVING that the recognition of the Skeleton Army's raids on four prominent regions add to this bias;

HEREBY repeals Security Council Resolution #35, "Commend the Skeleton Army."

I would appreciate feedback and more info if possible. Thanks in advance. This proposal is rather short, and I feel like this isn't enough of an argument for the repeal.

Against, the Skeleton Army is a cool unique take on how to play NS. They're a well respected region, i'd be surprised if this passed, I would suggest putting your efforts elsewhere.

SC #8. Clause 5.

Unique is not outstanding.

lol K, not sure what that proves. The WA is in no way a neutral entity. It and WA nations that make it up have there own biases and agendas. The act of Commending / Condemning or liberating for that matter are all opposite of remaining neutral.

They're outstanding enough to get Commended in the first place.

And neither is your proposal. Why don't you actually try commending or condemning someone, before you go and start trying to repeal....

No, no, definitely not. I'll never support a repeal of this commendation. I think anyone who has been invaded by TSA will feel the same way.

Are you aware of how The Skeleton Army's invasions actually operate? From what you've written, I'm not sure, and it is a common mistake for people to assume they invade in the conventional way.

They really are one of the few truly unique groups out there in NationStates. And no, unique alone isn't outstanding, but they're a group that's imaginative, entertaining, and enduring. That's exactly what the SC should be recognising, far more than generic recognitions of this month's GCR bigshot.

A non-binding clause. That doesn't make the WA neutral, particularly given that every other passed SC proposal by their nature contradicts "neutrality to nations and regions of all types".

Skeleton Army is awesomely unique as well as uniquely awesome. I shall forever stand against any attempt to deny that unique awesomeness of being awesome and unique.

Care to retract your earlier statement about me being against only because I have a vendetta against you?

No. It's horribly obvious. Even Frisbeeteria says that you have a vendetta against a ton of people.
