[DEFEATED] Condemn The Invaders (by Tentacle Kat)

[Patrykstan]

This is just blatant trolling. So funny xD

They have achieved nothing. It will be voted down and if they bring it back it will continue to be voted down. The SC will continue to focus on current liberation's and other tasks that matter.

For those interested, here's the campaign telegram that somehow managed to get the proposal to quorum (Thanks to Excidium Planetis for the copy):

Is this a joke or something?

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Is it just me or is the quality of SC resolutions going down significantly in the recent days? This is probably the worst resolution I've seen since I joined the site. I realize that it's a joke but isn't their an approval or a quorum process where WA delegates review these before they go forward? Is there not a minimum standard that is generally accepted among regional delegates, or am I misunderstanding how the SC resolutions get to the floor for a vote?

No disrespect meant to the person who posted this of course; I'm sure it was a joke and it's not that big of a deal but it is weird that no one inspected this.

From my post earlier:

We have a group of delegates who will rubber stamp any proposal regardless of quality or legality. Add to this those who just saw "ebil raiders" and approved it. Very soon there's a critical mass of lemmings.

The evidence I've seen points more and more to another selfie by TI.

Sorry, I am quite new to this...

What is bad against condemning a region?
Why are people upset this got to quorum?

[Mal-Dalak]

...wat.

Have you actually read the resolution? It's a blatant joke most likely created by one of the invaders themselves.

How relevant.

The target has been trying to self condemn themselves for like 2 weeks now, and this draft isn't well written.

As BBD said, the rubber stamp brigade is to blame. It isn't actually the Security Council's fault that quality has been going downhill over the past few years, it's actually the delegate's fault (and kind of Max Barry's for introducing stamps, but we can't blame him for trying to make some extra cash). Many delegates do not stay up to date on WA affairs, and just approve any proposal they get a telegram about, leading to lower standards overall.

The SC regulars and high endorsement delegates can resist most of the time, but sometimes they fail and something low quality makes it through. Both Condemn DENs come to mind as examples. Authoring for the SC used to be a painstaking process that took weeks of drafting just to make it to queue. Now any kid who manages to not violate the rules and has some cash to spend can get something to vote.

Which was:

A. HYDRA Command and
B. Nothing to do with the discussions here.

Do try and keep up.

[States of Glory]

This very very bad proposal ought to be stomped on with very very big boots.

Clearly, whoever submitted this made a very very insightful and very very persuasive argument.

[Zandarre]

Hey Tentacle Kat,
If you're going to post stuff, make it a little more formal than just "very very bad region." JS.

[Iescua]

I have been here for a day and I know that something this stupid shouldn't be at quorum.

[Eldridge Crossings]

What in the world. I have been here a decade and never seen a proposal so poorly written. This kinda piss me off. And were supposed to take the WA seriously? Kinda make me think regions should start creating a bloc and draft their own rules. I am voting this down just for how poorly written it is.

My feelings for this proposal:

[Kerchistania]

What a joke ahahaha

[Tretrid]

Bad argument. And I mean bad by BAD.

Okay, if it is a joke, wrong place. I voted against.

EDIT: Maybe the nation that submitted it spent too much time at the WA Stranger's bar.

[Wallenburg]

That they submitted this filth demonstrates that they have not been to the Strangers' Bar.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Five dollars they just plug the queue with this crap.

[Pangur Ban]

Ugh, I was about to suggest someone proposed a resolution in which every resolution that do exactly the same as a resolution that was just voted against would also be removed from the queue for a week or so but that would just lead to abuse and intentional bad resolutions in order to delay useful resolutions from coming up...

How about a mandatory waiting period of ... X weeks / months preventing new delegates from proposing a new resolution? Not that it will work, but at least it will require a bunch of sleeper delegates and might limit a bit this silly spam. Maybe also put a activity clause, that way the sleepers won't work if they haven't done anything in their states?

[HighHaar]

OOC:

*Sees new resolution is at vote*
*checks resolution*
*
*votes against*
*sticks a hand into the blender and turns it on to relieve the pain*

On a more serious note, as a fairly new member of the WA, it doesn't make a very good impression when a supposedly serious organization such as the SC lets this kind of things get to the voting booth.

Whatever happened to "Make legislation fun again!" ?

"Make legislation funny again" is entirely detached from "make legislation unbelievably stupid again".

[Novus Niciae]

Ok, who woke me up?

(looks at proposal)

How did this get endorsed?

I am going back to sleep.

[Mercs of old]

so how many times has a resolution trying to condemn The Invaders been up to vote?
