Condemn The New Inquisition
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
Category: Condemnation
Nominee: The New Inquisition
Proposed by: Strapped up Nina
Description: The Security Council,
SADDENED by the destruction of regions and their communities conducted by The New Inquisition, such as in North Atlantic, Concosia, and Valhalla, and their assistance in the near destruction of other regions such as Region of Reunited Muslim States, Free Thought, Stargate;
DISGUSTED by the frequent falsifications used to justify the actions of The New Inquisition, such as the illegitimate claim to sovereignty over the region Valhalla;
SHOCKED that the New Inquisition innvaded The Rejected Realms, which is one of the oldest, largest regions in the game,
ASTONISHED by the actions of The New Inquisition and satellite region Balder, as well as other regions, where they seized control and engaged in political misdeeds to solidify their stronghold over the region;
NOTING that The New Inquisition is a chief promoter of the insidious disease of imperialism and must be fought against at all costs, as it promotes the violation of regional sovereignty;
BELIEVING that The New Inquisition is a parasitic region who's very existence is detrimental to the health of the international community;
HEREBY Condemns The New Inquisition.
SADDENED by the destruction of regions and their communities conducted by The New Inquisition, such as in North Atlantic, Concosia, and Valhalla, and their assistance in the near destruction of other regions such as Region of Reunited Muslim States, Free Thought, Stargate;
What North Atlantic Community? What Concosian Community? What Valhallan community? And on that last one, TNI didn't even refound Valhalla, so we hardly destroyed any community there. And 'near Destruction' =/= destruction, for one, and for two, if you're going to condemn TNI for those, well, you'd better work your condemn pen hard, because the condemnations will need to start flying out of the little backroom where you guys write them.
DISGUSTED by the frequent falsifications used to justify the actions of The New Inquisition, such as the illegitimate claim to sovereignty over the region Valhalla;
If they're so frequent, surely you have more examples than one as old as Valhalla, right? Right? Oh, wait.... Moreover, explain in detail how TNI's claim was illegitimate, when it was based on the exact same claim to sovreignty the NPO had over The Pacific when it first conquered the region - force. Will Karpathos be condemning the NPO's senior leadership any time soon?
SHOCKED that the New Inquisition innvaded The Rejected Realms, which is one of the oldest, largest regions in the game,
Sure, and? What did we do? Did we overturn the TRR government? Did we impose our own rule over it? Did we grief it? Or did we take it and basically do the equiavlent (and I know Onder is going to disagree with my characterization of this) 'Nah, nahna boo, boo, we have your delegacy'. They got control back after 12 hours, and I didn't know that fighting a war that at that time had been in effect for over five years is somehow a condemn worthy act. Besides, wouldn't that have been more condemn worthy like...when it happened?
ASTONISHED by the actions of The New Inquisition and satellite region Balder, as well as other regions, where they seized control and engaged in political misdeeds to solidify their stronghold over the region;
This is a nice rehash of the standard arguement. Usually its TNI running Europeia, or Europeia running TNI, or what have you, but TNI running Balder isn't even a new claim. But as someone who has been involved in the upper echelons of TNI government and military on and off for some time, I can tell you, while I've gotten many memos, I must have missed the one about us running Balder and 'other regions' (can you provide them, please? Also, what political misdeeds are you talking about, Karpyboy? Because I didn't get that memo either)
NOTING that The New Inquisition is a chief promoter of the insidious disease of imperialism and must be fought against at all costs, as it promotes the violation of regional sovereignty;
Oh, there are so many problems with that. Chief promoter? How so? prove it, please? and how is Imperialism an insidious disease? Do we live in a world where things can be called insidious diseases and then they're suddenly so? Can I call Karpathos an insidious disease? What about Francoism? Oh, look, *condemns Karpathos and the NPO for no good reason* Also, why must it be fought at all costs? What must? TNI, or the 'isidious disease' of Imperialism? And how can Imperialism promote the violation of 'regional sovereignty', when its fundamental tenant is the protection of its sovereignty?
BELIEVING that The New Inquisition is a parasitic region who's very existence is detrimental to the health of the international community;
Hm...Which region has helped end more GCR coups in the last year? TNI or the NPO? Oh, yea, TNI. And which region has a more active forum, more active community, and more active government (complete with citizen engagement, something the NPO seems to sorely lack)? TNI or the NPO? TNI. And which region has an extensive system of treaties between equals that promotes common defense, cultural exchange and mutual security? TNI or the NPO? Oh, yes, TNI. Which region has (twice now) hosted a cultural conference to draft the Bealtine Accords, which create a shared cultural exchange system across a diverse set of regions? TNI or the NPO? TNI. Beginning to see a pattern here.
I'm not saying the NPO is parasitic, because I don't believe it is, but if TNI is a parasite hurting the health of the international community, then I'm wondering what isn't a parasite hurting the health of the international community?
