I am a fan neither of Todd, Topid or this awful proposal, but I just can't get over the sniveling, elitist tenor of this argument, which holds not only that only delegates should be awarded commendations, but delegates who have served since your day, like Kandarin. If you wish only to vote in favor of C&Cs for old fossils like yourself, that's your right, but it may surprise you to note that numerous players, some of whom might never have heard of the Farkers, are perfectly capable of making contributions to the game -- nay, "outstanding contributions" -- even those who have never been elected a Regional Delegate.
I’d like to think that the WA is a place that is an exchange of perspectives, rather than an exchange of YOU’RE WRONG, BECAUSE YOU DON’T THINK LIKE I DO, but I may be mistaken. Also, if this is how NS Fossils are treated, when posting in the Security Council, it’s little wonder so few participate here. You, Omigodtheykilledkenny, despite your unnecessary rudeness, are exactly the kind of nation I would support a commendation for, owing to your body of work in both the UN and WA. I’m also guessing that in getting so many of your resolutions passed, you used slightly more diplomacy than I just witnessed from you. When those private NS censuses on game impact/popularity were distributed, I was critical of them for neglecting the role of WA lawmakers, community builders, top forum posters, and highly ranked nations in the World Census Reports; because there really is so much more to NationStates than delegacies and fighting over them.
This resolution is worded as a legacy commendation. If you’re going to claim a legacy for your work as the delegate of a feeder, I’d like to think that having at least a year in that delegate position would be a good baseline, or you’ll be setting the bar pretty low and may as well commend every delegate who has ever been a feeder delegate, no matter how short a time. I’m pretty certain that, barring RL interference, Todd McCloud will remain as delegate for some time. And once some of that time has past, say a year, then it would be more appropriate to claim a legacy for their work as a feeder delegate.
Which region?
