[DEFEATED] Commend The Outer Rim2563

Postby A mean old man » Wed Jul 20, 2011 8:14 pm

I did not write this.

This will probably be at vote next. This is domestically proposed silliness. No thank you. Goodbye.

Shouldn't have gotten to vote. Hundreds of people have been delegate for 254 days... Most of them were very important within their region and a leader.

This is not a noteworthy nation.

I'm not certain that this is an actual sentence... I think Luthiland is trying to say that the delegate spot in ICN has been difficult to maintain. That just means it's easy to get.

I think I just died a little inside. This is semantically one of the poorest compositions of a clause ever attempted in the vast history of the World Assembly.

I see no exceptional actions at all, and all events in this resolution are in 1 region, and in no way affects the international community as a whole, which is what the WA is for. This is even worse than those roleplay resolutions I'm so against.

AGAINST AGAINST AGAINST! WHERE'S THE BLAM BUTTON?!

Having been in Gatesville during the later Nevadar and entire Rocket Saws delegacies, I scoff at this proposal. 254 days is peanuts.

Not to mention everything else that's wrong with it, but I can if you like.

I've taken dumps longer than this individual has been a delegate. This is not an accomplishment and should never have been considered for a vote.

Look, I agree that this is more of a regional matter, rather than a WA Security (emphasis on the SECURITY) Council matter, but we can not be hostile towards one nation just because one of you has been playing NationStates the same amount of time or longer and have made the same or more accomplishments within your region. All I am saying is that, as diplomats, this nation should be appreciated in one way or another, but this should not be put into vote as WA issue.

I imagine whoever wrote this lobbied an absolute shitload of delegates to actually get it to quorum.

Just goes to show that you can get pretty much anything to quorum if you waste enough of your life on it ... though you obviously have a much lower chance of actually passing it.

Ohio, Texas, The Heartland (shutters at thought), and dozens of other regions have delegates that have served far longer, and have not been commended for it. This nation hasn't done anything actually notable. The only resolution (to my recollection) to commend a nation for the main reason of being delegate, was the one I authored to Commend Fudgetopia, a nation who was delegate of a Pacific region (constantly facing coups) and held her delegacy for 5 times as long as the one offered now.

Oh. Speaking of, let's compare their resolution's clauses to some of mine:
Commend Whoever He Is wrote:Acknowledging Outer Rim2563 as the longest serving delegate of ICN, totaling 254 days to date,
Commend Fudgetopia wrote:Acknowledging Fudgetopia as the longest serving delegate of The South Pacific, whose reign began on July 5, 2006 and ended on January 1, 2010, totaling 1276 days or three and one-half years,

Commend Whoever He Is wrote:And Remembering throughout its' history the ICN been and difficult to maintain,
Commend Fudgetopia wrote:Remembering throughout NationStates history the Pacific regions have been unstable and difficult to maintain,

Commend Whoever He Is wrote:Amazed that Outer Rim2563 maintained control of the ICN, without restricting freedom, while establishing a government and promoting the growth and prosperity of the region,
Commend Fudgetopia wrote:Amazed that Fudgetopia maintained control of a Pacific for three and a half years, without restricting freedom,

Commend Whoever He Is wrote:And Realizing since becoming Delegate, Outer Rim2563 has become one of the most important nations in ICN, and has been a positive force of leadership for the region,
Commend Fudgetopia wrote:Realizing since that date, Fudgetopia has been one of the most important figures in The South Pacific and was a founding member of The South Pacific's military, served in various cabinet positions throughout the years, and became a forum administrator of The South Pacific Forum,

Commend Whoever He Is wrote:Believing that any nation that has shown such superior leadership in promotion of that nation's region is deserving of recognition,
Commend Fudgetopia wrote:Believing that any nation having had such success as the fair and diligent leader of a Pacific is deserving of recognition,


This resolution really shouldn't have made it to vote. All they did was plagiarize a resolution of my creation. Which is disrespectful, annoying, and weak. Plagiarism is not just against game rules, but is one of the lowest things I think a WA author can do. >:(

And now, I'll take a temporary leave from this thread, as not to say something in my extreme frustration that would reflect poorly on me and the region I represent.
