Are you serious? Besides Oh My Days, who has already been mentioned, there is a liberation proposal sitting in this forum right now authored by LKE. Ironically, it was authored after you decided to leave TUKB to be griefed by Nazis so that you could concentrate on liberating RORMS despite its appalling history.

A liberation is indeed a liberation, but authorship does matter. The UDL in general and you specifically have proven in recent days that your priorities in regard to liberations are skewed, to say the least. Given the poor judgment you exercised in leaving TUKB to be griefed by Nazis so the UDL could deal a blow to The Black Riders, why should anyone trust or reward that judgment by voting for this resolution? Why should the Security Council continue allowing itself to be manipulated by defenders who would use it for their own political aims rather than for the greater interregional good?

It was for the greater interregional good that the proposal was originally pulled, since now both regions can be liberated before it is too late. And if you can't get that through your skull you should read up on how influence works.

I'm well aware of how influence works. Frankly, I don't think saving RORMS from destruction by The Black Riders -- if complete destruction is in fact what they intend -- is for the good of the interregional community given the region's history. I think that's even more true when saving RORMS could come at the expense of saving a region currently being griefed by Nazis. We don't all adhere to the defender ideology that all regions are worth defending.

As is the idea of comparing raiding and defending to muggers and the police

I will only quote the SC motto: "Spreading interregional peace and goodwill, via force if necessary". What are we here for, but to set international conflicts in a peaceful way? What is all this"liberation" fuss for? I understand the SC not supporting a liberation promoted to set internal conflicts, but this is clearly an external agression!

Depends. Do you consider Oh My Days a raider?

I stand corrected.

Of course you are, but your comment wasn't about the proposal it was about the SC as a whole.

I can feel a mod watching, back on topic i go.

So far I've heard that one former Delegate supports the Liberation and another opposes it. And of course self-serving rhetoric from both sides about how the one that agrees with them is more credible than the other, which I feel is best to disregard. Given that I do not believe sufficient evidence has been presented to establish a Native consensus against Liberation, Xanthal is casting its vote for the Liberation of the Region of reunited muslim states. I will, of course, continue to monitor the debate in case anything comes forward to change my mind.

I vote FOR, though I feel this liberation could have waited until after "Liberate The United Kingdom of Britain." I still don't feel "Region of Reunited Muslim States" is at a greater risk of refound than the former.

I understand that you believe my judgement may have been skewed, but is that worth letting the region be re-founded? I respect your right to criticize my judgement on which Liberation had priority, but that should not affect your vote to save the region from re-founding.

Again, the difference is we don't advocate for the murder of civilians. In fact we criticize our government for taking such action. We are not all guilty because very simply we understand that the murder of civilians is wrong. That in and of itself makes us better.

RoRMS does not NEED to be liberated. Frankly, I'm surprised this is even being debated. A Region founded by Nations with a zeal for veiled terrorism? I think not. Further more, there is no guarantee that the region's occupants will move back or attempt to make it an active or productive community. At the very least, the Black Riders have established an embassy, banished the troublesome occupants with little to no resistance and are in the midst of transforming the region into something more feasible to the World at large. The stronger opponent won, the land should be theirs. I vote AGAINST.

I obviously haven't been clear enough about this, so I'll be blunt: I don't care if the region is re-founded. I don't believe RORMS contributes to the interregional community in any positive way. If The Black Riders banject every last native and refound it as a colony, it will arguably be a better region than it was before.

There does come a point when the Security Council needs to take a stand. Every liberation is too dire to say no to the UDL. I say that this liberation is not dire and that this is the perfect opportunity for the Security Council to stand up to UDL manipulation and refuse to be a rubber stamp.

The citizens of region of reuinited muslims states have moved to RORMS. The community is doing just fine.

And we shouldn't forgive a region so stupid as to connect the raid by TBR to 9/11 or the politics of the middle east, and the conflicts there.

Clearly they simply don't understand reality or NationStates, and should be punished for their ignorance.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.
