[PASSED] Liberate South Pacific

[Lord Dominator]

I will be voting FOR at some point.

[Consular]

The World Assembly shouldn't have to jump in to every little inter-Nicene squabble. I see no clear evidence that any invaders are actually doing anything. There is the mere echo and threat that someone may do something. That isn't a cause for action. We shouldn't be fighting a war that Southern Pacific boy ought to be fighting themselves!

Have you ever had your region occupied? They can't fight this war by themselves -- they're outnumbered and have absolutely no way to remove the invader Delegate. They need a little help, and that's ok. But to get that help, they need that password gone -- so they need this liberation.

[Rusozak]

Wait, again? I swear SP is invaded more than any other game-created region.

[Wallenburg]

South Pacific isn't game created. The South Pacific is.

Why does this resolution attempt to mislead voters that The South Pacific is being raided, rather than South Pacific?

I don't see where it attempts to mislead voters. The only references to the region are to South Pacific, no "the" attached.

KNOWING that two large raider organizations are in the process of destroying South Pacific, one of the earliest regions in the world,

NOTING that South Pacific is a region of great historical importance, having been founded fourteen years ago,

South Pacific is founderless (proper founderless, not just our-founder-ceased-to-exist founderless). The last founderless regions by design were created in May 2003-ish. So yes, the resolution is correct (so to speak).

Curious. So it just happens to be a really old region sharing a name with another really old region. OK.

I'm pretty sure it was created in order to ape off of the Pacific, long before any of the other feeders were created. It just so happened that eventually, the admins created TSP and thus a region that shared a name.

TBH, I think that would be an even funnier coincidence.

Why is this tagged as passed now? I mean, it's certainly going to pass, but the vote isn't over yet...

I was just about to say the same thing. It also needs to be stickied.

[Agathyr]

Build the wall, South Pacific!

[The Atlae Isles]

I was told that it was the North Pacific, but hey, I could be wrong.

(I'd definitely wouldn't think it's TEP)

[East Tight Gerbamopiance]

We should do anything we can to help our allies!

[Yatzatz]

South Pacific isn't game created. The South Pacific is.

Huh. That explains it. I was really confused about that.

[Karafuto-cho]

This still hasn't been stickied? What the hell?

[Drasnia]

Liberate South Pacific was passed 15,336 votes to 2,156.

Wasn't important enough.

Yet they sticky Cormac's Liberate Illuminti shit?

[Mallorea and Riva]

Did anyone ask in Moderation for it to be stickied? I didn't see such a request, though it's always possible it was missed. We are very good at stickying threads for the SC and GA promptly, but we certainly aren't perfect. It looks like this was stickied from 1:22 a.m. until 12:36 p.m. when I unstickied it. Since I was at it anyways I stickied the other proposal, also at 12:36 p.m. It has nothing to do with importance. We really don't see any difference between one legal SC proposal and another.

I did ages ago.
