He holds raiders responsible for the actions taken by other raiding organizations, we can certainly hold him accountable for the actions of his soldiers.

Stephanie receives the previously discussed telegram from an aide. The pair start whispering, although the phrases, "I know, this raises a few questions," and "Not too sure about that," can be overheard. Eventually, Stephanie rises to her podium.

Esteemed ambassadors. Like everyone else, I have received the telegram about which we have discussed. I, along with the aide you previously could've seen, disseminated it and the debates made by the ambassador from Mahaj regarding it at length, and we have come to the conclusion that there is enough question of fact and conduct to warrant us to withdraw our vote from this commendation. While we are sure this commendation will pass nonetheless, we shall be abstaining for the remainder of the vote.

That was a horrible experience - it lost by two votes...

Anyways, wholly for this proposal, and I'm omitting any Defender/Raider rhetoric from influencing my decision. Unibot has contributed tremendously to Nationstates, and would still deserve a commendation, hadn't he been a gameplayer.

Voting Against on this.

I realise that Uni has contributed a lot to NationStates, but I can't support something that lauds his leadership of the UDL when, frankly, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Further update on the policy of 'unibot' & his 'united defenders league' following consultation with Red Fleet commander 'Marxingrad'; 'dictators of the world unite' was another fascist cesspit that the UDL considered worthy of its protection.

Also it IS udl policy that fascist regions are ok & only overt nazi regions are worthy of closedown. Try explaining that policy to victims of the terror regimes of Mussolini & Franco.
Were 'die republikaner' ok because they wore suits?

So you have an 'update engine' well here's an update 'learn some politics before you get in the way of anti-fascist action!'.

Fascist, Nazi, falangist or idiot fellow traveller either way The Red Fleet will bury you!

Several claims and counterclaims have been posted. Fair enough, but I have one argument in favour of this commendation that is irrefutable.

Govindia is against this commendation. The correct path is therefore to vote in favour. Q.E.D.
