[PASSED] Commend Wopruthien

Postby Benevolent Thomas » Sun Aug 20, 2017 11:31 am

Description: The Security Council,

Naming Wopruthien as one of the most prolific and trusted leaders in the defender movement for nearly a decade,

Recognizing their status as the most celebrated Ranger in the history of the Founderless Regions Alliance, an interregional organization that was dedicated to the protection and stabilization of founderless regions across the world, having been recognized for at least 323 actions in less than four years of recorded service,

Affirming that Wopruthien has participated in hundreds of operations with the focus of protecting the sovereignty of regions beyond those recorded,

In awe of their dedication to the Founderless Region Alliance, which saw its heyday during Wopruthien's tenure of service including:

  • Seven terms as its Arch Chancellor
  • Three terms as the Chief of Defense
  • A term as Regional Recruitment Officer
  • A term as Intelligence Minister

Singing their praises as the nation that created FRAvision, an international music competition that spanned years, eventually inspiring the creation of similar international events,

Respecting the toil the people of Wopruthien went through in hosting the Founderless Regions Alliance's Defender Awards on numerous occasions, taking it upon themselves to ensure that defenders went recognized for their actions,

Noting that their service extends beyond the boundaries of the Founderless Regions Alliance, having served the region of the Rejected Realms in several capacities:

  • As Commander of the Rejected Realms Army, Wopruthien continued its long legacy of being one of the largest and most competent defender organizations in world history;
  • As Culture Officer, Wopruthien created numerous inter-regional games and contests in the spirit of uniting defender regions and their friends including, but not limited to, the Rejected Realms, 10000 Islands, Mordor, Spiritus, Canada and European Union;

Cowering in fear of their puppet government Evil Lord Sauron, the founder of Mordor, which ironically was comprised of a friendly community of nations that espoused the cause of regional sovereignty,

Celebrating their recognition by the Defender Awards which include the Ananke Award which is given to those who are considered to be best at identifying invasions in progress and the Sir Lans Award which gives recognition to nations that are the most active at defending founderless regions from hostile forces,

Thanking Wopruthien for inspiring nations and regions alike to take up the cause of regional sovereignty while taking the time to enjoy the simpler things in life, believing such actions fit the World Assembly’s aspirations of peace and goodwill,

Hereby commends Wopruthien.


That's the first draft. Let me know what I can add or change to make this a better piece of legislation. Thanks!

Aye! :)

Some notes...

- Use punctuation at the end of each jot point (comma or semi-colon.)
- You could include the dates of his Defender Swards.
- Not so sure about some of those preamblatory verbs. :P

Wopruthien has done so much for Defenderdom that it's quite frankly a shame that he hasn't already been commended. Full support.

May 2012. While I'm sure it has been done before on the NS forums, has there been an interregional contest like FRAvision? Not only did individual nations participate, but entire regions collaborated on individual entries as well. I believe this is what makes FRAvision stand out in comparison to other Eurovision NS-clones.

I guess my question now is, would including this part of the resolution hurt its chances of passing?

I'll be voting against it for various reasons, but Wop probably deserves one. He's a pretty cool guy all said and done, as much as any former FRA elite can be.

That said the 'Cowering in Fear' line feels more than a little out of place and breaks the flow of the whole thing.

I don't know for sure what proportion of the nations involved in those other contests also participate in SC matters, but think that here probably wouldn't be many votes involved.

So I've added some punctuation to the proposal in the "Noting" section. I'm not too keen on adding it to the "In awe" section, because I think it looks ugly. If anyone feels strongly about it, please let me know.

I look to be submitting this soon, so please speak up if you have any suggestions, questions or concerns. Thanks!

In my official capacity as the WA Delegate of Forest, I am supporting this proposal. After reading the proposal and consulting with others I find it more or less undeniable the Wopruthien deserves to be commended. Therefore, once this proposal comes up to vote I will be voting "FOR" as early as I am able, and I will encourage the WA member nations of Forest to vote "For", as well. I reserve the right to change my vote based on the arguments made by the citizens of Forest and any new information the arises during the voting process.

Commended by SC 236,
