I would say "a rose by any other name..." but y'all are emphatically not a rose.

Now you may very well think that, but of course, I couldn't possibly comment.

"CORMAC STARK INCONSISTENT - NEWS AT 11"

But really, is this the best you can do? I'm basically Durk at this point except vastly more active and I don't like imperialists. I don't care how much you attack my character. There is nothing you can do to me. How does that make you feel?

There's nothing we can do to you except stymie you at every single move. Openly embracing your history of inconsistency is the kind of thing that leads to people voting against this resolution because you wrote it.

After seeing Cormac's behavior in this thread, I'm against this proposal. I highly doubt I will ever support another one of his proposals again, unless he significantly changes his tune.

He won't. He will pretend to retire AGAIN, and come back with a clean puppet. Hopefully he doesn't blow his own puppet out of the water next time.

Look, I really do like mocking Cormac as much as the next man, but I think we've done enough in this thread. Let's leave off the snide remarks and scorn for now.

Usually when someone makes an accusation of a moderator abusing their power, I at least have an idea what they're referring to - trying to pass a certain WA proposal, or having couped a region, or deleting a particular nation. But in this case, I have absolutely no idea at all what abuse it is that you're talking about. So I'd like to ask you that if you feel Mousebumples is abusing her power as a moderator, please submit a Getting Help Request with details, so that we can look into it.

I think it's worth noting that Mouse declined a promotion to Game Mod that was offered several months ago, because she preferred not to have those powers while she was still involved in gameplaying.

I am guessing because she holds a significant amount of WA votes, and people tend to follow her lead (lemmings), it must be some egregious use of moderator power?

That's my understanding as well, Sedge. My 250+ votes were among the first to vote on this resolution - I think I was second, maybe? Yes, lemmings follow my stance, but considering my pretitle no longer even mentions the word or term "mod" in any way, I fail to see how voting early has anything to do with "abusing my moderator powers." Still, if anyone disagrees, I urge you to follow the path Sedge outlined above - i.e. filing a GHR.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank all of the regions and nations that voted against this resolution.

It's almost 18 months to the day since the last Condemn TNI went to vote, wherein decisive and ultimately successful action was taken by the TNI Government in the early moments of the vote to turn around the situation by the issuance of a counter-campaigning telegram sent out by this very nation. That time it was Karpathos, this time it was Cormac - but the common themes of envy, resentment and personal grudges against the success of the independent and imperialist spheres and their proponents, were inescapably familiar.

This time in the vote itself, probably due to the superior competence and experience of this author to the last, there was no luxury afforded to us to prepare nor opportunity to engage in a productive counter-campaign. The rapid pace at which the resolution was tarted along with the lack of international debate, left the outcome entirely down to regions and participants outside of TNI to organise and decide the outcome.

And that is why it's particularly heartening to have once again defeated this resolution, and to have had the support of a number of crucial participants, some allies - others neutral, and despite the author trying to turn them against us.

Once again, thank you to all our supporters.

North East Somerset,
Prince of The New Inquisition.

Yes, I would specifically like to thank the following supporters of The New Inquisition:

The North Pacific, subject to a coup supported by The New Inquisition and a declaration of war from The New Inquisition.
10000 Islands, a defender region that apparently believes regions habitually involved in Feeder and Sinker coups d'etat and region destruction should not be condemned.
The South Pacific, essentially tossed in the trash by The New Inquisition in 2014 but still more than willing to diplomatically assist their non-allies, with whom they no longer even have embassies, despite the actions taken by The New Inquisition against actual allies The Rejected Realms and Lazarus.
WIntreath, a defender region that has a treaty with The Rejected Realms but saw fit not to condemn its proud invaders.

Thank you all for your support of The New Inquisition. I'll make sure nobody forgets it anytime soon.

Do I detect the subtle flavour of sour grapes?
