Our regional vote is as follows;

FOR: 6
AGAINST: 0
Abstain: 2

Personally I have issues with fully IC condemnations; easy to deserve and easy to sell. I wanted to abstain on this but the region has spoken, and I answer to the region. FOR.
There was a signature here. It's gone now.

Having consulted with someone who actually knows what this is about (Carta/Milograd), I have switched by vote from for to AGAINST.

Clearly, AGAINST

RP-Based condemnations are, at least in my opinion, a huge waste of time. I have no idea what Going Postal was thinking here.

    No, I'm pretty sure he ignored Smoke on the Water, and thats pretty messed up to begin with. That said, the re-foundation theory is quite silly, trust me. The Blackhelm Confederacy could exist, but it'd be an incredibly messed up society/country. The people of the DD glassed him into the ground, with very little being left 'unharmed'. That said, the Blackhelm Confederacy's existence is far too debated for a condemnation of the said nation to exist, so nay.

Still bewildered. Blackhelm is being condemned for pretending to do stuff?

Wait a sec... this is getting confusing. Because Blackhelm was nuked some time ago, he is in effect ignored by the World Assembly? Or is Blackhelm ignored because he ignored said nuclear strike? Or is there something else and am I completely missing the point here?

:absolute confusion:

I guess so. I find Commendation and Condemnation a waste of time since it doesn't do anything nor is there anything like it in the real world.

Smoke on the Water

Thats where he got annihilated. He ignored it, but many people acknowledge it as canon. That said, it is somewhat debated whether or not he could have done some of the things he is being condemned for, given that he was nuked into dust, and that he carried on in his actions after this (iirc).

More or less you have to ask, "How can you attack someone without an army?"

The 'theme' of that question is my main issue, if anything.

I'm also referencing this post, for the record.

Arghh I'm so sick of arguing over that thread. Do bother to read the whole thing as well as the OOC please. It ended and then it didnt and then I didnt feel like doing it any more, so BS peace was made but Kat was all butt hurt because it didnt end how he wanted so he claimed nuclear holocaust and I claimed him as a colony. It went on for almost a year, some people have real lives to deal with.

Edit: I agreed to this: viewtopic.php?p=2021752#p2021752
When they tried to push for more nonsense I said no and the thread was over so Kat cried

There is a fine line between roleplaying and gameplay, and just because the things that happen in II aren't as concrete as gameplay related actions, it doesn't mean that it can't be applied in the World Assembly. :unsure:

    OoC: Raid a region, kick people, profit?

    Yeah, I don't mean to be rude Mahaj, but on what grounds do you say that? Do you really mean to say that you can speak from a roleplayer's perspective, and say that being an 'evil' RP guy is easy?

    Being a 'bad guy' in II is quite easy, doing it the right way...not so much. To be honest, most 'evil' nations bore me, since they are very rarely done properly.

OOC;

Actually, its completely opposite. RP'ing a nation that is evil is incredibly hard to do correctly. A Gameplay bad guy is easy to do. I mean, look at Durkadurkairanistan II. He's a bad Gameplay guy and it took him what, an hour or two of occupation?
