Hi Kaboom,

Nice to read a literate and well thought out proposal for a change. It's like finding an oasis in a desert.

My one concern is the references to forums. You need to make sure that these references cannot be interpreted as electronic forums so as to be R4 compliant.

Other than that it's good to know there are people out there who can produce a sensible proposal.

I have looked and the three references to "forums" in the text appear to be fine.

What about the 3,500-character limit?

That was my second-biggest concern during drafting (first was the restructuring I did to make it look better). It's gone through checks and I'm 99.9% sure it's under the limit. BBCode doesn't count so it's tough to check off the top of my head.

I'm glad to see this finally getting close to submission, as I just haven't had the time to work on this in (seriously) years. r3n is very deserving, and I swear it's not plagiarism, etc., etc.

Posted: **Fri Jan 20, 2017 10:32 pm**

Okay, so I just need an affirmation from Ramaeus.

*pokes Ram*

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2017 8:51 pm**

I spoke with Mouse and it was clarified that the text was mostly Mouse's, so it should be fine to submit if Ram doesn't post here.

Planning to give this 24 more hours, and then will submit after tomorrow's major if there are no issues at that time.

Posted: **Sun Jan 22, 2017 9:04 pm**

Since there haven't been any comments, I'm submitting this in an hour.

Posted: **Sun Jan 22, 2017 10:12 pm**

Submitted! Link is in the OP!

Good job. For, although a more official statement will be released in the future.

On my phone and just perusing the forum so don't take this as a ruling yet, but how is that first full paragraph NOT a rule 4 violation? You refer explicitly to NS.

As linked from the Mod Rulings sticky. This states that using "NationStates" in lieu of "the multiverse" (or similar) is legal. Don't get me wrong (but if you do, consider updating the sticky)...

I am not an expert on SC rules like you or any others posted in this thread but isn't 'NationStates' the name given to this multiverse? So how will calling it as such imply that we are referring to it as a game? Calling the universe as 'universe' doesn't imply that we are living in a matrix

SC Rules wrote:You cannot refer to the game, or events or actions in it, as part of a game.

Well, Kaboom's proposal doesn't refer to it as a game.

Aside from the odd use of Nationstates which apparently is legal (not overly keen on breaking the 4th wall like that but so be it), this is a really well written and well though out proposal.

Full support

A very deserving candidate.

The Self-Administrative City of Tinhampton

WA Delegate for the Federation of Fictitious States
Alexander Smith - Tinhamptonian Delegate-Ambassador to the World Assembly
Opinion of the Federation's WA Delegate (SC #8)
This comment best experienced on 1366 x 768. Or, for that matter, least worst experienced on 1366 x 768. Yes, I know that my flag is the wrong proportions. T&C's apply. Here's SC #7 for y'all

Tinhampton previously approved this proposal, mainly out of its content and how it presented a convincing argument. In addition, Delegate-Ambassador Smith (in lieu of any resolutions passed by The Other Chamber of the World Assembly, especially the one hundred and twenty-second one) has used his common sense to analyse this resolution. He has determined that Tinhampton - in their status as a World Assembly Delegate with 17 votes as of the time of writing - should vote FOR "Commend Renaissanctistic People". These were the reasons that D-A Smith gave:

Renaissanctistic People, HMS Unicorn, r3nnaissanc3r - whatever you call them, there can be no doubt that they deserve a Commendation. A quick read through the resolution will reveal that r3nnaissanc3r has been involved heavily in the improvement of diplomatic work in Europeia, legislative work in the North Pacific, archiving work in Great Britain and Ireland, and not least their importance in the Independent philosophy's spread. Whilst I have to admit that this is an excellent repetoire, I urge you to read the resolution in its entirety, see their other awe-inspiring achievements, and vote for it.

Tinhampton will vote for this resolution, and also strongly urges other members of the Federation's Assembly of Nations to vote for it. However, this opinion is not binding, and Tinhampton cannot and will not throw you into the flames of the Rejected Realms for failing to vote the same way as them.

r3n has earned this through a lot of hard work. He deserves it.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 11:21 am**

The grammar errors and style of this resolution trigger me to no end, but I'll consider supporting it regardless. After all, it is clear the nominee deserves the commendation.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 11:27 am**

r3n is no doubt deserving of such a commendation. Support.

Posted: **Tue Jan 24, 2017 3:51 pm**

This is long overdue and has my full support! :clap:

Now you know how IA feels.

Anyway, I've got no problems with this proposal. Full support.

Rubberstamped because r3n. :clap:

IA gets upset about italics and CAPITALIZATION. I wouldn't say demanding correct grammar is quite on that same level.

I've ultimately decided to vote against the resolution. It's going to landslide its way to victory anyway, so I may as well protest its flaws through my vote. Good luck, Kaboom, you chose a great nominee. I hope this passes.
