[PASSED] Commend Separatist Peoples

[John Turner]

Commend Separatist Peoples
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Separatist Peoples | Proposed by: John Turner

The Security Council,

Recognizing the General Assembly's often self-deluded agenda of furthering international peace and prosperity, and failing goal of furthering international diplomacy;

Dedicated in its Violet-given right to see the worthiest of nations that have dedicated so much, yet asked for so little in return, forever enshrined in the permanent records of this esteemed council;

Convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that Separatist Peoples has made an explosive impact on the international community, via groundbreaking legislative efforts that not only have saved more lives than could possibly be calculated, but also have quite effectively legislated on the subject of international armed conflict to the point where any sane, reasonable nation can now wage all wars, from full scale conflagrations to teensy brushfire counterinsurgencies, and be sure that not one innocent life will be harmed;

Thus disclosing a small sample of the Separatists’ numerous legislative efforts, which have been deeply buried under the quagmire of unimaginable corruption and deceit known to many delegations as "the Festering Snakepit":

1. Rules of Surrender, which guarantees belligerents who have been defeated in armed conflict the right to surrender and not have their people shot on the spot by the victorious nation as a show of ultimate superiority;
   
   
2. Protected Status in Wartime, which not only enshrines that nations cannot dress up soldiers as medical personnel whilst subtly giving them weapons to rain mayhem on unsuspecting enemies gawking at wounded soldiers they just turned into Swiss cheese, but forever guarantees that soldiers whilst engaging in armed conflict shall be forced to wear the actual uniform of their armed forces, no matter how tacky or uncomfortable it may be;
   
   
3. Explosive Remnants of War, which codifies the ceaseless swarms of gnomes springing forth from the ever-expanding labyrinth of WA bureaucracies and sacrificing themselves by traversing minefields left by warring parties to ensure that nations are doing all they can to clean up the landmines they dropped all over the place, thus ensuring nations of the World Assembly they themselves will never be overrun with an overabundance of gnomes, as the Secretariat has yet to figure out how to plug up the spawning pool which keeps pumping them out.

Praising the antics of the one and only Ambassador Benjamin Bell, a wise man who can hear profit in the wind, a man consecrated as the Patron Saint of Bad Decisions by the clientele at the World Assembly Strangers’ Bar, earning the affection and respect of stripper commandos, sword-wielding maniacs, and lunatics that frequent the joint with bombs strapped to their chests and threaten to blow up the Security Council;

Further entertained by the efforts of Ambassador Bell, with the assistance of talking cars, milquetoast ferrets, violent pacifists, ogre bounty hunters, potted plants, and a very peculiar trash-eating, underwear-sniffing goat, in uncovering and neutralizing an international weapons smuggling operation, culminating in the capture of the perpetrators at the World Assembly Headquarters;

Thus believing without Ambassador Bell, forever immortalized by a stained glass window added during renovations after the infamous methanol incident, many lives would be lost and many drinks in the Strangers’ Bar would be left undrunk;

Hereby commends the great nation of Separatist Peoples.

The Security Council,

Recognizing the General Assembly's often self-deluded agenda of furthering international peace and prosperity, whilst also more often than not failing in its goal of furthering international diplomacy;

Dedicated in its Violet-given right to see the worthiest of worthy nations which have dedicated so much, and asked for so very little in return, forever enshrined in the permanent records of this esteemed council;

Thoroughly convinced beyond any shadow of any doubt that Separatist Peoples has made an explosive impact on the international community, via its groundbreaking legislative efforts, which not only have saved more lives than could ever possibly be calculated, but also have quite effectively legislated the subject of war and international armed conflict to the point where any sane, reasonable nation can now wage all wars, from full scale conflagrations to teensy brushfire counterinsurgencies, and be sure that not one innocent life will be harmed;

Thus disclosing a small sample of the legislative efforts of the Separatists, which many in number, which have been deeply buried under the quagmire of unimaginable corruption and deceit known to many delegations which frequent it as "the Festering Snakepit":

1. Rules of Surrender which guarantees belligerents who have been defeated in armed conflict the right to surrender and not have their people shot on the spot by the victorious nation as a show of their ultimate superiority;

3. And last but not least Explosive Remnants of War which codifies the ceaseless swarms of gnomes which spring forth from the ever-expanding labyrinth of WA bureaucracies, are required to sacrifice themselves by traversing minefields left by warring parties to ensure that nations are doing all they can to clean up the landmines they dropped all over the place, thus ensuring the nations of the World Assembly they themselves will never be overrun with an overabundance of gnomes, as The Secretariat has yet to figure out how to plug up the spawning pool which keeps pumping them out.

Praising the efforts of the one and only Ambassador Benjamin Bell whose frequently visits the hellhole dubbed the World Assembly Strangers Bar, and by some divine miracle avoiding stripper commandos, a sword wielding maniac, and a lunatic that more often than not frequents the joint with a bomb strapped to his chest threatening to blow up The Security Council, in his efforts to bring some small semblance of joy to the establishment's patrons, both sane and otherwise;

Further entertained by the antics Ambassador Bell, a wise man who can hear profit in the wind, for uncovering and neutralizing an international weapons smuggling operation, culminating in the capture of the perpetrators at the World Assembly Headquarters, all while for some strange reason associating with talking cars, milquetoast ferrets, ogre bounty hunters, potted plants, and a very peculiar trash-eating, underwear-sniffing goat;

Thus believing without Ambassador Bell (also dubbed the Bar's "Patron Saint of Bad Decisions"), and forever immortalized by the stained glass window Markhov added during the methanol incident, and his frequent attendance at The World Assembly Headquarters many lives would be lost, and many drinks in The Strangers Bar would go left undrunk;

With pride hereby commends the great nation of Separatist Peoples.

Alright we have a second draft up. I will preface this by stating I hate every one of you. (No I am just kidding I love your feedback) While I was able to cut a lot of the edits, and I wasn't able to cut all of them and now we have a small problem. We are 415 characters over the count, so something needs to go, and I don't know what. Just so we are clear though, clause eight is not changing. Without that clause we might as well just burn this thing.

Keep the feedback coming please. We need to cut 415 characters from this.

The Security Council,

Recognizing The General Assembly's often self deluded agenda of furthering international peace and prosperity, whilst also more often than not failing goal of furthering international diplomacy;

Dedicated in it's god given right to see the worthiest of worthy nations which have dedicated so much, and asked for so very little in return forever enshrined in the permanent records of this esteemed council;

Thus disclosing a small sample of the legislative efforts of the Separatists, which while having many supporters have had to make the unbelievably perilous journey through the quagmire of unimaginable corruption and deceit known to delegations which frequent it as "The Festering Snakepit":

1. Rules of Surrender which guarantees nations which have been defeated in armed conflict the right to surrender and not be shot on the spot by the victorious nation as a show of their ultimate superiority,
   
   
2.

3. And last but not least Explosive Remnants of War which codifies that the unending gnomes which spring forth from the committees created, have to sacrifice themselves by traversing minefields left by warring parties to ensure that nations are doing all they can to clean up the landmines they dropped all over the place, thus ensuring the nations of the World Assembly they themselves will never be overrun with an overabundance of gnomes, as The Secretariat has yet to figure out how to shut off the machine which keeps pumping them out.

Entertained by the antics of the Separatist delegation in the hellhole dubbed the World Assembly Strangers Bar, in which whilst somehow managing to avoid stripper commandos, a sword wielding maniac, and lunatic that more often than not frequents the joint with a bomb strapped to their chest threatening to blow up The Security Council, have managed to bring some small semblance of joy to the sane patrons of the establishment all while for some strange reason associating with a talking car;

Thus believing that without the existence of Separatist Peoples and their ever present attendance at The World Assembly Headquarters, many lives would be lost, and many drinks in The Strangers Bar would go left undrunk;

With great pride hereby commends the great nation of Separatist Peoples.

OOC: Yep this is exactly what it looks like. A commend for a nation which has done little more than draft resolutions. Separatist Peoples is one of the funniest and most outgoing people you will find when perusing the General Assembly forums, and has contributed a lot to make that aspect of the game more enjoyable and it is high time he is recognized for all the effort he puts in.

I would appreciate feedback on this. I tried to make it as humorous as I could, without delving into the depths of insanity.

HELL NO! NOT HIM! NOOOOO ANYONE BUT HIM!!!!!!!!

I'm on a tablet right now so I'll go through the draft later. Might be cool to include a couple more RP scenarios from the bar that might fit into a commendation (smashing the international smuggling ring, improving communications with ogres). I'll see what I can dig up and let you determine if it crosses the line into insanity.

Please do. I don't frequent that thread often, so any help would be appreciated as I would like to add a couple more things to really spice it up.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Pretty good draft, probably time SP's work was recognised.

One small typo in Para 2: "it's god given" should be "its god given". I'll have another look later on, but have to admit it made me smile (the draft, not the typo).

[Goddess Relief Office]

SP is one of the sane voices in the GA whom I hold in high regard.

Supported.

~GRO~

[Starkwood]

They seem pretty cool, I'll support.

[Wallenburg]

"We'll support this, given the removal of all the grammar and spelling errors, a less snarky tone, and the removal of that absurd clause referencing some 'god given right'."

[John Turner]

"We'll support this, given the removal of all the grammar and spelling errors

I fully intend to polish it up after I add some more to it. I wrote it after being up for 34 straight hours.

a less snarky tone, and the removal of that absurd clause referencing some 'god given right'."

Yeah..... Sorry to burst the bubble but that ain't gonna happen. I may change "god given right" to "Violet given right", but the tone is not changing, and may in fact get even snarkier after Wrapper gets back to me on a few things.

[Wallenburg]

Yeah..... Sorry to burst the bubble but that ain't gonna happen. I may change "god given right" to "Violet given right", but the tone is not changing, and may in fact get even snarkier after Wrapper gets back to me on a few things.

"Who the hell is Violet? And, Ambassador, if you are going to endeavor to write an acidic proposal just as critical of the World Assembly as praising of the Separatists, I suggest you go all out and see if you can give a condemnation of The World Assembly a second go."

Oh I am sure the Violet worshippers will rear their ugly head in your nation soon enough.

OOC: The proposal is meant to be snarky, as that's how Sep sees the General Assembly. Trust me, he will love this. But in all seriousness with all that aside, this is not about politics, or who doesn't like who ok? This is about rewarding someone for years of hard work. If you can support that, then great. If not, then please do everyone, including yourself a service and just don't bother. I really would prefer if this thread is not destroyed by petty bickering back and forth.

Thanks in advance.

[Wallenburg]

"The what? I have to tell you, this makes no sense. Can't we just keep the World Assembly neutral toward religion?"

"The what? I have to tell you, this makes no sense. Can't we just keep the World Assembly neutral toward religion?"

They haven't shown up yet? You should consider yourself one of the chosen few nations then. It cause quite a stir and weeks of debate in The Federation Council when these lunatics showed up at Prime Minister Pearson's door demanding they be allowed to sacrifice homeless people to their lunatic god, who as it turns out was actually some guy who just writes books for a living and runs a very addictive on-line game on the side. (It's all in good fun people. I love Max and Violet and all)

I am pretty meh on religion myself, but I feel it gives the proposal a certain flare.

OOC: Issues don't translate well to my nation's universe. In my nation, that would probably involve some radical Hindu or Islamic sect.

I am pretty meh on religion myself, but I feel it gives the proposal a certain flare.

If you are going for that, I suggest something along the lines of "Violet-given rights, may our high Lady be praised forever!" or something very showy like that. Going half way just makes it stick out uncomfortably.

Good point. I will figure out some way to to pizzazz it up and make it flashy. I appreciate the feedback.

[Wallenburg]

"Our office has received a message from a Wallenburgian citizen, addressed to Ambassador John Turner. It's pretty short, but I can only imagine you'll understand it."

Mr. Turner of the United Federation of Canada --

I'm not a maniac. If I were you would be dead by now.

Best wishes,

[The Puddle Jumping Wads of Wrapper]

I will say, JT, I'm going to nitpick every stupid little grammar error I find in this one, and it will likely take multiple passes to do so.

-- First comment, if you change that first line, you will irrevocably lose my support. (Well, except for fixing the grammar issues: "self-deluded" is a hyphenate, and "failing goal" should be "failing in its goal" or equvalent.)

-- "any sane reasonable nation can now wage international conflict and be sure that not one innocent life will be harmed" -- if I were posting in-character in the SC, my pacifist ambassador would have a conniption. That said, this is brilliant.

-- "World Assembly Strangers' Bar". (add apostrophe, capitalize Bar)

-- End your numbered clauses with semicolons for consistency. (Told you. Nitpicky.)


And now, a few embellishments:

-- If you really want to toss some religion into the equation, you got it. I'd prefer references to his canonization over "god given" (which, if you decide to keep anyway, should read "its god-given right"):
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=58&p=26215348&hilit=patron+saint#p26215348
viewtopic.php?p=26860261#p26860261

-- I'd change "a talking car" to: "talking cars, milquetoast ferrets, ogre bounty hunters, potted plants and trash-eating, underwear-sniffing goats". Especially that last one. Chuckie the goat must be included in this.

-- Consider a new line: "Praising the nation's ambassador, Benjamin Bell, in his role in uncovering and neutralizing an international weapons smuggling operation, culminating in the capture of the perpetrators at the World Assembly Headquarters." Or something like that. If you have room. Point is, that whole RP injected some much-needed life in the Strangers' Bar for months. (Yes, before anyone says anything, "his" would be legal in this context, it's referring to a male fictional character, not a nation.)

I can come up with more but you're running short on room. This should hit all the highlights.

[John Turner]

First of all, thank you for taking the time to research some of this for me. I really would like this to be a collaborative effort, as it not only honors SP, but also tries to pay credence to those that have interacted with him over the years in some small way.

I will say, JT, I'm going to nitpick every stupid little grammar error I find in this one, and it will likely take multiple passes to do so.

Please by all means do. This is the first time I have written a commend, and I really want this one to shine.

-- First comment, if you change that first line, you will irrevocably lose my support. (Well, except for fixing the grammar issues: "self-deluded" is a hyphenate, and "failing goal" should be "failing in its goal" or equvalent.)

No worries. Without that first line, this proposal fizzles before it ever has a chance to explode into the humorous snark it is meant to convey. I will touch that line up.

-- "any sane reasonable nation can now wage international conflict and be sure that not one innocent life will be harmed" -- if I were posting in-character in the SC, my pacifist ambassador would have a conniption. That said, this is brilliant.

I had you in mind specifically when I wrote that clause. I am glad you were able to pick up on the subtle clue. Like I said, I want to to subtly pay credence to those that have interacted with SP as well.

-- "World Assembly Strangers' Bar". (add apostrophe, capitalize Bar)

Details, details..... *grumbles*

-- End your numbered clauses with semicolons for consistency. (Told you. Nitpicky.)

*more incoherent grumbling and shower of eraser bits ensues*

And now, a few embellishments:

And now we get to the good stuff. A tell all expose that would make even Geraldo want to run and hide under the bed while whimpering like a little girl. *Like I said I want this to be great RP*

-- If you really want to toss some religion into the equation, you got it. I'd prefer references to his canonization over "god given" (which, if you decide to keep anyway, should read "its god-given right"):

I was actually going to change it to "Violet-given right" but I am not 100% sure it would be legal to mention Violet. It should be as she does appear in issues, but I may have to ask for clarification on this one. That being said, I will try to work Bell's status as a god in there somewhere.

-- I'd change "a talking car" to: "talking cars, milquetoast ferrets, ogre bounty hunters, potted plants and trash-eating, underwear-sniffing goats". Especially that last one. Chuckie the goat must be included in this.

See this is what happens when you guys don't invite me to the meetings. (I for the record love punch and pie). I miss all the juicy gossip.

-- Consider a new line: "Praising the nation's ambassador, Benjamin Bell, in his role in uncovering and neutralizing an international weapons smuggling operation, culminating in the capture of the perpetrators at the World Assembly Headquarters." Or something like that. If you have room. Point is, that whole RP injected some much-needed life in the Strangers' Bar for months. (Yes, before anyone says anything, "his" would be legal in this context, it's referring to a male fictional character, not a nation.)

I very much wanted to include the antics of Bell, but I wasn't sure it would be legal. Upon checking though, I noticed Dr. Castro was mentioned in Glen-Rhodes commend, so I will definitely put in a section about Bell.

I can come up with more but you're running short on room. This should hit all the highlights.

Space is going to be a very aggravating factor in this one. There is so much to tell, and so very few characters to tell it with. I am almost positive there is some Twitter conspiracy involved here, but the elites are likely to suppress any evidence of that.

Thank you very much for your input on the matter. I am going to slightly redraft this, and include you as a co-author. Aside from IA (who I have other plans for *cackles maniacally*), you are probably the one who RP's with Bell the most, and I think it would be a grave injustice for your name not to be included somewhere.

Sweet Jesus! It is becoming ever more apparent the good nations of The World assembly were somehow duped. Wallenburg should have been condemned for that incident that for some reason vanished into another dimension of space and time (or something like that anyway....)

Ahem. Patron saint, not god. And (speaking in non-modly voice) I'm not at all sure whether mentioning Violet-as-goddess violates the rules. She does keep popping up in issues, so.... Let me dig a little.

Thank you very much for your input on the matter. I am going to slightly redraft this, and include you as a co-author.

Oh, hell no! This is your baby, I'm just making... "suggestions".

[Wallenburg]

From a quick search through passed SC resolutions, I found two references to Violet and her status as deity.

Fair enough. I just wanted to convey the offer anyhow.

You have my kudos good sir for taking the time to look this up. "Violet-given right" it shall be then.

[Wrapper]

From a quick search through passed SC resolutions, I found two references to Violet and her status as deity.

Was going to say so (now that I'm using my more manly voice). Relevant precedent (though repealed):

"...a list of common prayers to the almighty god of our humble multiverse, violet..."

Thanks for the confirmation. Now run and hide before Sedge goes hunting for you treading in his domain.

Sadly, he knows where to find me....

[Wallenburg]

Here's my breakdown of the current draft:

The Security Council,

Recognizing the General Assembly's often self-deluded agenda of furthering international peace and prosperity, whilst also more often than not failing in its goal of furthering international diplomacy;

Dedicated in it's god given right to see the worthiest of worthy nations which have dedicated so much, and asked for so very little in return forever enshrined in the permanent records of this esteemed council;
Dedicated to forever enshrining the worthiest of worthy nations, which have dedicated so much and asked for so little in return, in the permanent records of this esteemed council, as ordained by our glorious and divine lady Violet, may her name resound in these halls forever and ever;

Thoroughly convinced beyond any shadow of any doubt that Separatist Peoples has made an explosive impact on the international community, via theirits groundbreaking legislative efforts, which not only have saved more lives than could ever possibly be calculated, but also have quite effectively legislated the subject of war and international armed conflict to the point where any sane, reasonable nation can now wage international conflict and be sure that not one innocent life will be harmed;

ThusDisclosing a small sample of the legislative efforts of the Separatists, which, while havingmany in number, supporters have had to make the unbelievably perilous journey throughhave been deeply buried under the quagmire of unimaginable corruption and deceit known to many delegations which frequent it as "the Festering Snakepit":

1. Rules of Surrender, which guarantees nations whichthat have been defeated in armed conflict the right to surrender and not behave their people shot on the spot by the victorious nation as a show of their ultimate superiority,
   
2. Protected Status in Wartime, which not only enshrines the guarantee that not only can nations cannot dress up their soldiers in medical personnel clothing whilst also subtly giving them weapons with which to rain mayhem on unsuspecting enemy personnel gawking at the wounded soldiers they just turned into swiss cheesetore up like tissue paper (the "Swiss" in "Swiss cheese" would be a RL reference, yes? I'd prefer the cheese idiom myself, but legality>likability), but also enumerates that soldiers, whilst engaging in armed conflict, shall be forced to wear the actual uniform of their armed forces, no matter how tacky or uncomfortable it may be,
   
3. And last but not least, Explosive Remnants of War, which codifies that the unending gnomes which spring forth from the committees createdof the World Assembly, have to sacrifice themselves by traversing minefields left by warring parties to ensure that nations are doing all they can to clean up the landmines they dropped all over the place, thus ensuring the nations of the World Assembly they themselves will never be overrun with an overabundance of gnomes, as the Secretariat has yet to figure out how to shut off the machine which keeps pumping them out.

Entertained by the antics of the Separatist delegation in the hellhole dubbed the World Assembly Strangers' Bar, in which, whilst somehow managing to avoid stripper commandos, a sword wielding maniac, and a lunatic that more often than not frequents the joint with a bomb strapped to theirhis chest, threatening to blow up the Security Council, the Separatist delegation havehas managed to bring some small semblance of joy to the sane patrons of the establishment, all while for some strange reason associating with a talking car;

Thus believing that, without the existence of Separatist Peoples and theirits ever presentcontinuous attendance at the World Assembly Headquarters, many lives would be lost, and many drinks in the Strangers' Bar would go left undrankundrunk;

With great pride hereby commends the great nation of Separatist Peoples.

I agree with many of Wrapper's suggestions as well.
