[PASSED] Commend The Featured Region Followers

by **Paffnia** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 7:18 am

@Damanucus--Sorry to hear that.
@The Great Destruction--Thanks for the support. I think you understand why TFRF need to be commended.

As for those who are worried that "Commend The Quote of the Day" is at odds with this proposal, remember that passing this proposal will allow a potential future repeal of Commend TQotD to mention that his region is already commended, so he might not need to be individually.

Well, that was fast. Quorum reached. Thanks to everyone who helped me TG and to all the delegates who approved this proposal!

That... was really fast.

Good work.

At vote! Please vote FOR this proposal; The Featured Region Followers truly deserve this honor.

Fellow World Assembly Delegates, I apologise for any misunderstandings, but the Federation of The Socialist States has only recently joined this organization, so we are not quite sure about what this proposal means. To me, it seems like nothing but self advertisement for The Featured Region Followers. I believe that is not responsibility of the Security Council, which daily discusses topics that affects all nations sovereignty, to simply recognize a region's work. I would be grateful if any delegate could explain to me the practical effects of this resolution.

I, the author, am not a member of The Featured Region Followers; hence, no "self-advertisement."

I'm not quite sure I understand your post, but the purpose of the SC is mainly to recognize regions and nations. Read this thread over, then come back here if you have any more questions: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=83717

I apologise, as I was not aware of the functions of the Security Council. Thank you for your clarification.

HONORING The Featured Region Followers for nobly doing this valuable service for over five years,

Wouldn't call messing up a regions RH noble but thats just me. I got a warning for it once

What do you mean, ambassador? Doncha see the smiley? How much more personal can you get than a sunny smile?

Seems reasonable enough. We vote for.

Thank you for the support!

This must not be allowed to pass.

Many regions do not welcome these intrusions. The FRF post inane spam on our message boards and frequently schreek at us about their False Gods.

They annoy. The proselytize and they interfere with our slack.

Vote against this resolution.

The region you are in with this nation you are posting with has never been featured, and, given that it is only you and another guy in there right now, at this rate it never will be.

Unless you are following the FRF around incognito, I fail to see how this grinds on your daily life.

I think you may be confusing TFRF with other groups that travel to featured regions. I know some travelers like to post prayers in their respective religions or like to put up links to their home regions. TFRF doesn't do any of that.

And there's the reason as to why this commendation cannot pass. What this region does is nothing unique.

A lot of nations role-play. A lot defend founderless regions. Countless others author resolutions, create flags, etc. Should we stop commending all these nations because what they do is not unique? We don't usually recognize people for doing a thing no one else does (Flag Thief and a few others excepted); we recognize them for doing things best, first, or what have you. Yeah, TFRF are not unique at congratulating featured regions, just like Kandarin is not the only sinker delegate, Starblaydia the only sports role-player, and Ballotonia the only defender (examples off the top of my head). It's just that TFRF does it best.

Er.....yes. Commend is a prize for someone who's gone beyond the normal.

Kandy did a lot for the game, Bally is now an admin and the RP is massive

Why did you feel the need to include that your not using a script in your TG to delegates?

by **Paffnia** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 7:35 am

Perhaps I wasn't clear. What I'm saying is that, just because a thousand other players defend, doesn't mean we can't commend the best defenders. Same goes for featured-region congratulators. I was refuting Damanucus' point that uniqueness of activity done is a necessary quality for a commendation and instead positing that quality/innovativeness/time duration/etc. of activity done is more important.

Drop Your Pants wrote:Why did you feel the need to include that your not using a script in your TG to delegates?

Some delegates were recently up in arms over the legalization of WA campaign scripting. I thought it couldn't hurt to tell them that there was an actual human sending the TG's.

The nation of Worship Bob was created after this group crashed into a region I was a part of.

I followed the FRF from region to region apologizing for them until the most obnoxious of them cut back on his spewing about the superiority of Christianity without regard to the interests or beliefs of the featured region.

The have no regard for the wishes of the regions they visit or if their insipid and self-serving postings are even welcome. There are many regions who ban them as soon as they appear and suppress their spam. It's obnoxious, it's rude and it does not deserve commendation.

I think you may be confusing TFRF with other groups that travel to featured regions. I know some travelers like to post prayers in their respective religions or like to put up links to their home regions. TFRF doesn't do any of that.

I assure you I am not. Many of the group I observed left the FRF region and returned in the same day. They may not have been the most obnoxious; but they probably inspired the obnoxiousness. Just because you find something nice or innocuous, does not mean that everyone finds the nonsense a welcome intrusion. It is an unwelcome intrusion.

by **Paffnia** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 8:41 pm

I checked on NS History, and the nation you are most concerned about, the one who posts Christian prayers, is not nor ever has been a member of The Featured Region Followers. It's easy to get confused, but not all of the nations that move into the day's featured region are from TFRF.

by **Delegate Vinage** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 4:26 am

I, Lothar Prolark, World Assembly Delegate and Vice-President of Europeia will be voting AYE on this proposal after a 5/3 internal vote decided said actions.

Really.... there isn't much too much to add as to why we will support this other than, congrats and cheers for doing a decent service to these regions.

by **Mahaj** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 6:01 am

This'll be one of the highest percentages FOR ever if it holds as it currently is.

by **The Great Destruction** » Thu Jul 05, 2012 8:16 am

I would like to credit for that due to my moving words earlier, lol, just kidding.

It is such an obvious decision, and they have effected so many regions that they have created their own notoriety and support that I imagine campaigning for votes would be amoot point.

by **Paffnia** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 10:50 am

This commendation just passed, and, first off, congratulations to The Featured Region Followers. Their commendation passed with the highest percentage of "FOR" votes of any commendation, just going to show how much they deserve this honor.

Thanks to all the delegates who approved the proposal, all the nations who voted for it, and all my regionmates who helped me campaign for this.
