[DRAFT] Commend the Rejected Realms

[Evil Wolf]

Noting that the Rejected Realms is the publisher of the widely popular newspaper covering Gameplay events, the Rejected Times, which is one of the most popular of publications covering gameplay news in the world.

Not true at the moment (not since June 2), since we have no idea what the state of TRT is. Might be nice if we knew at some point.

I think, Kenny, he might also be confusing "popularity" with comment-bait.

I know for the longest time my most active topic was TRT's thread, mostly because I was either commenting in correction of a mistake/falsehood or defending myself against a direct attack launched by one of the articles.

Just because a topic has a lot of posts doesn't make it popular.

[Dremaur]

I'd say it was more contraversial than it ever was popular .

Speaking on the draft, I will nor comment of the commendability of the region in question but will be voting against as it would be a shame to see such a mediocre proposal represent them, if it by Max's grace makes it to quorum.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post here without being in the WA, but I would have to agree that TRR is an artifact of the nation states mechanics and as such I don't think it should qualify to be commended or condemned.

I would OOCly ask that this region be disqualified from such proceedings.

Emphasis mine. Any nation may post on these forums. But only nations in the WA are able to paricipate in Security Council voting and submitting, as the SC is a branch of the World Assembly.

[Luxdonia]

Have removed bit about the Rejected Times.

Also, bump.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

You need to remove Gruenberg. He has specifically asked not to be included.

Done.

Honestly, I feel like there simply isn't enough detail in the proposal at the moment for it to be of a high enough standard.

[Xoriet]

I agree. The sentiment is nice, but there is simply not enough material provided to substantiate a good Commendation.

I'm not sure how I feel about Commending a region for being home to nations who wrote proposals when apparently writing proposals isn't sufficient material for a Commendation at all. Writing them with TRR nations doesn't exactly provide strong Commendable material for the region regardless. By that logic, every region which houses WA authors has grounds for a Commendation.

Many regions stood by Lazarus during the coup. TRR is not especially elevated among many others simply because they helped.

Eternal Scholars was barely a notable liberation, especially because the invader point had already resigned WA. Nor was Eternal Scholars a particularly large invasion in the first place. What makes it special overall? It was elevated beyond its caliber simply because Unibot made a big whopping deal of it in TRT in a classic Unibotian attempt to snipe at organizations he hates. It may help to research prominent examples of liberations and whom they liberated the region from in the first place.

Take, for example, TEP (I know it well so I'm just going to use it as an example. I promise it isn't regional ego.), which assisted in opposing the coup, has participated in plenty of liberations including Anne Frank, and is home to authors such as A mean old man, Todd McCloud, Ramaeus, etc. By your standards, TEP is just as Commendable.

What you have is not sufficient to make TRR special among many regions. This does not do it enough justice to be substantial.

What? That place is a penal colony.

[We Are Not The ATF]

What? That place is a penal colony.

Not exactly. Nations are free to come and go as they please, and it is actually a very cool region.

Nations may be free to come and go as they please from TRR, but they are NOT free to come and go from every OTHER region.

TRR is a special snowflake precisely because nations are immune to being banned from it. That gives it an unfair advantage not available to other regions, and that advantage is an artifact of game mechanics (an OOC feature).

The thread was dead for over 2 months; there was no need for that gravedig. Thread locked; the author can request in Moderation that it be re-opened if they wish to pursue the proposal further.
