I'm against this one.

The Wardens are a pain in the ass when raiding, but I don't think it's at the level of a condemnation.
In=character, Kaboomlandia is a World Assembly member and abides by its resolutions. If this nation isn't in the WA, it's for practical reasons.

To be honest, making quorum was success enough for me.

Maybe, but I think they're well suited for this proposal. It's actually a miracle this manages to reach quorum.

Anything even marginally legal can reach quorum with a decent telegram campaign.

Yup. Cresenthia spent the stamp money to tag:delegates for this.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

If you're gonna condemn the Wardens, there are alot of things missing that go beyond "they hurt/annoyed/trolled my region".

But let's be realistic. This incarnation of the Wardens isn't even a year old. The first incantation lasted a few months. So, the tenure for a C&C certainly isn't there. Furthermore, we've done a few spicy things here and there, but for the most part we've just been doing a ton of defending. The reason you're complaining is because (1) recently, much of the non-defense stuff affected your own region (2) we're just generally very, very loud about what we do. The Wardens have incredible momentum going right now; if this can be mostly upkept for another few years, then a commendation based on defense work seems absolutely reasonable. A condemnation for the non-defense work probably not, however, because it really doesn't amount to nearly as much offensive throughput as the Black Hawks, who do raids and only raids, and have now gotten Badge #2 after 10 continuous years of raiding.

As expected, of course, KAISERREICH voted for this resolution. Understandable, I suppose - the resolution is written by one of their own, and deals much with the pain they have endured at the hands of the Wardens.

...

wait, what happened here?!

Well, I can see you're definitely see the bright side of life. Have your draft booed, you ignore them. Have your proposal basically crushed, say that you were glad that it actually reached quorum. See your region get raided, say you're glad that you have more information to use! Honestly, there need to be more people like you to amuse us see the bright side of life.
