[PASSED] Commend Sedgistan

Postby Topid » Sat Mar 13, 2010 9:18 pm

Hello! It's been a while since I submitted a SC proposal, I've been busy with other matters!

Over the last few days Unibot and I have been working to surprise our good friend Sedge with this proposal, and since he's gone to bed... I've submitted the proposal.

Sedge is a well known defender, one of the best, if not the best, in the game at the moment. I feel that the best of the best from each side are deserving of a commendation.

ImageCommend Sedgistan
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Sedgistan | Proposed by: Topid


The Security Council,

Observing the efforts of Sedgistan, as a long time member and current Arch Chancellor of the Founderless Region Alliance (FRA) to ensure interregional peace and goodwill,

Remembering the liberation of Feudal Japan authored by Sedge, which was followed by a defeat of the raiders by a defender force led by Sedge and including members from the FRA, TITO, Equilism, Texas, Europeia, 00000 A World Power, Yggdrasil, The United Kingdom, Crusaders of Justice, Liberty Alliance, Antarctica, and Royal Federation of Nations, and a refounding mission assisted by Sedge,

Impressed by the tireless work of Sedgistan to ensure the natives of Feudal Japan regained control of their region and kept control permanently,

Knowing there exist countless other regions Sedgistan has defended from the grips of raiders, amassing 222 points so far in his 3 years as an FRA Ranger, the second highest of all time,

Acknowledging the Security Council work of Sedgistan other than Liberate Feudal Japan, which includes authoring Liberate Free Thought, being listed as a co-author of Commend Todd McCloud, Liberate Utopia, and Liberate Land of the Liberals,

Asserting that any nation that has done as much work as Sedgistan has to ensure interregional peace and goodwill should be commended,

Hereby commends Sedgistan.

Muhahaha wait until Sedge wakes up!

I must confess to a bit of laziness... or rather glutony... possibly lust... Some of the seven sins... Anyway, I waited two hours to start campaigning so I could chat with my girlfriend on Facebook and also so I could eat. In two hours (10:30ish pm to 12:30ish pm Central) the proposal got 9 approvals! Nine! Without a campaign! That's how popular Sedge is.

Then he isn't? :eyebrow:

Probably could have said that differnt, but given the mistakes of my last SC resolution, pretty good if that's all that was found.

I'd say that the word 'current' resolves your question. In the event that it were to succeed, one can simply look at the date and figure it out.

My main objections are in this part - highlighted. You are commending Segistan. While I understand that Segistan is frequently called "Sedge," the shortening of the nation name to a nickname seems somewhat informal/irreverent and not terribly appropriate for a WA proposal. (however, that may be my innate GA nature shining through)

Additionally, I did a quick world search and there is not currently any nation named Sedge in the world. If the name is not already claimed, I could see another individual trying to "claim" this commendation (should it pass) by citing the clause quoted above.

You'll likely achieve quorum, and I'm not sure that this issue would prevent me from voting for it on the floor. However, with this issue, I am unable to approve of the proposal at this time.

Best wishes,

Only second? Why not, if it does still indeed exist, commend the leading nation?

So I've heard. I don't think I've ever seen him on the forums or anywhere in NS before.

EDIT: 10 minutes to update and I only need 2 approvals! We'll probably have to wait until tonight.

Good point Kenny I forgot I never got an answer.

Seeing as the update is happening (delegates are changing) I'd say the game is updating now, which is the same time as normal for me, so it must be on DST.

The Sedge.

The 'problem' you've highlighted was not ruled illegal in Commend 10000 islands, it was just a big Yeldian & Unibotian joke. Sedge is Sedgistan's nickname, I don't see a problem in using it, when it is clear from the title and the nominee box that it is Sedgistan that we are referring to.

I don't agree with everything in the proposal, but as one of the most succesful players od all time, Sedge definitely deserves a Commendation and I have approved it.
