Oh, it's you again.

The GA has no real power, only having marginal effects on peoples' stats through resolutions, and the SC is basically waving a paper sword around on condemnations. They really don't have that much power.

Nah. I prefer to vote for/against each proposal based on the merits of the proposal itself.

If you think the WA and SC have too much power, why don't you leave it and ignore it? Honestly, except for a few RP texts, I don't see how it has "way too much power."

91.5 to 8.5 percent. I think this might be the most popular C&C in history (at least in the past three years, that much I know).

The all-time record for any SC resolution I believe is SC #198 "Repeal 'Liberate The Arab League'", at 94.2% in favour. This is probably the record for a C&C.

I don't know what the etiquette is in these situations, but let's just say that I'm touched.

Thank you.

Haha, yes, I did my research when this one was going 92.5% FOR but the point stands regardless (yes, I was one of the 91.6% back in the day). Thank you to everybody who voted for this, and to you too, Arch/THE/AIF/whatever you want to be called today... and you know your C&C's been a huge success when the closest thing it's seen to a delegate stomp against (Mikeswill, IF Croatia, Chicken Cutlet, Raventsko, Icaris) has only really happened on the grounds of a strong regional anti-WA tradition rather than "this proposal looks shit and it probably is shit".

If you hate the WA so much, leave and stop whining. The SC is mostly to restore rightful power of regions after invasions, and the GA is pretty much like the UN, preventing crimes against humanity and stuff like that, but only to member nations. If you do not want to have your nation influenced, leave and you will be left alone. Some people enjoy the WA, and it is a historic part of the game, so no matter what you do, it is not going away.
