That's one good stomp.

You know what else is good? The advertising for TGW.

That this has gotten to vote at all really doesn't speak well of the process for World Assembly resolutions achieving quorum.

Against, in case that wasn't already clear.

You won't always get good resolutions. As it is, this is a contender for most unanimously defeated resolution.

It's pretty evident especially when you look at this:
"The numerous unprovoked actions against Kaiserreich, in particular, the puppeteering of Kurnugia."

The author is a high ranking member of Kaiserreich. Nope no spite there

I mean... there is even a more blantant quote:
Cresenthia wrote:I really don't care about that 96.5% number or whatever it actually is. Even if they just dropped in on a Warzone I wouldn't care too much. But TGW is making a pattern out of complaining about regions in the forums for BS reasons (or none at all), and then using that as a pretext to trash them. That is wrong. That, and they keep using Kurnugia to trash talk Kaiserreich, even though he never claimed anything about Nazism until they poached him from his rebellion (which had nothing to do with ideology).

I understand the reason for this, but before voting I would like to know what the reason is that many members are against the proposal?

Well, before you ask, you should look through the debate from the beginning. You don't just jump in and immediately assume things. You have to learn what happened before entering a debate to be fully prepared and prepped.

Pro: Capitalism, Socialism, Technological Advances, Science, Knowledge, Environmentalism, Cooperation, Pacifism, (Soft) Communism
Con: Fascism, Radicals, (Hard) Communism, Primitive Ideas
Social Liberal
Left: 6.22
Libertarian: 0.19
Foreign Policy: Moderate Non-Interventionalist
Culture: Moderate Cultural Liberal

You are going after the wrong target. The Red Fleet has a far more egregious history of invading innocent regions under guise of moral justice. Just because we used to have an embassy with Kaiserreich, they invaded our region without any warning.

I still don't understand what the big fuss about Kaiserreich is about. They are based on the German Empire, not the Nazis. Even if they were based on Nazis, that isn't an endorsement of their policies. I have roleplayed in the past using ideologies I disagreed with, that doesn't mean I was endorsing those ideologies.

Wow. Even I got Whiplash off that.


No, no. You misunderstand me. I said that their "supposed" raids were really defending the region through non-traditional ways. I didn't say raiding as a whole is "non-traditional defending."

a raid is a raid is a raid. The reasons matter, but it is still a raid.

TGW isn't hypocritical, per se, because they raid raiders and raider allies, broadly. But a raid is not an 'alternative fact defense.'
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

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.

Because they fear retaliation by the Grey Wardens if they vote for it /joke

The Grey Wardens invade invader regions and a fascist invader is upset that the Wardens have repeatedly disrupted their operations and attacked their regions.

Kaiserreich is in the proposal because the author is from Kaiserreich and is upset at the Grey Wardens

Fail early? In less than 12 hours its goose (step) is cooked. Must admit it's been a while since I've seen a proposal get an arse kicking like this one. And thoroughly deserved as well.
