Is that a record?

Not even close.
But it certainly wasn't so slim that a GOTV campaign would change anything.
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

No. Looking back a few proposals, Liberate The Black Riders was defeated 8,765 votes to 2,994, and I'm sure that's not even a record.

Wow.

...and I thought this place had no sense of humor.

OOC: Uhh...were you asleep for the condemnations of Automagfreek, Milograd (x2) or my own nation -- all detailing "fictional" actions you seem to think are so unworthy of the SC's time?

As to the "off-site" crack I'll simply point you to the URL address for these forums; all carried out on nationstates.net...decidedly not off-site. However, numerous GP-based resolutions (the only ones you seem to think merit SC attention) are based on off-site activities, such as actions taken on regional and alliance forums. Would you mind explaining some of those?


*shrug* it's possible I was napping when those fictional behaviors occurred...I am an old guy, and I like my naps.

Explain? Uh, no. Not unless you can back your statements up with verifiable data. Vague claims of "numerous" resos, I'm afraid, doesn't cut-it.

My point was missed, so I'll try and make this clear with this "crack": I'd prefer that C&Cs be reserved for cases of serious or meritorious actual NS gamemap transgressions/achievements only, not off-site forums, and not chucked-out eagerly and blithely at every misstep or quasi-good deed. In handing C&Cs out like candy at Halloween for every dumb reso that's written, this body has made the C&C a worthless and pointless affectation.

The SC made the right call this time around. Apply these only when absolutely deserved and warranted. Make them rare and meaningful.

This happened in the on-site NS forums, not off-site.

This Association would like to express satisfaction at the fact that most of its members choose not to drink at bars with strangers, but instead to indulge in both cocaine and marijuana, which this Association has found balance each other out; alcohol, meanwhile, serves only to cause imbalance. With that said, this Association is also glad that it frequents classier establishments than the aforementioned bar, and is therefore grateful not to have been disgraced with the certain displeasure of having borne witness to the event in question.

Nonetheless, this Association reacts with pleasure to the defeat of this proposal, endorses the proposal that the World Assembly should refrain from condemning itself, and proposes a condemnation of the instigating nation in the event that the World Assembly should dismiss the resulting discord with a vote to avoid its own condemnation.

Bullshit. You were looking down your nose on it because it was based on roleplay, like silly GP elitists always do in the SC, because they think it should be reserved exclusively for them. Well it's not...and in case you missed it the last three times it was explained to you (by me and others), the actions detailed in this condemnation were not offsite. They occurred in the official NationStates forums.

Not to be snotty, but that vote wasn't much of a record either.

Meh, it was the most one-sided I had on record.

Sigh...I miss the NSwiki timeline. You could get vote stats instantly in the blink of an eye.

I guess Texas' NSSuite might also work for that though.
