Here we go again...
It seems it falls to Lazarenes to explain why WA Security Council resolutions can fail to win a vote in Lazarus.
Put yourself in the shoes of a Lazarene for a moment...
Firstly, you can't assume that Lazarenes read the Security Council threads. They don't know what your resolution is about, what your region is about, or even why they should vote.
Secondly, you need to write a good WA telegram. It is not enough to get, as we got:
Please vote in favor of Commend Bachtenkuppen. His work in furthering equality and peace is an example to us all. The resolution can be found here: page=sc
This telegram doesn't tell me, as a WA member, why I should vote for this. It is someone I don't know on NS that I am being told 'furthered equality and peace'.
And if someone states 'what about the Resolution text itself?' again that doesn't explain a thing beyond what is in that text, and it doesn't explain why that should be of interest to me as a WA member.
Let's go through the text...as someone who doesn't know TEP.
Noting that Bachtendekuppen was the Delegate of The East Pacific for a period of two terms (8 months), during which it served to protect the region from the threat of the Defender Act and managed to increase activity in the community,
And...this is important to TEP, but why should this be important to me? A good point to answer in a WA telegram.
Recognizing Bachtendekuppen's mediation abilities, which allowed for the creation of treaties with The North Pacific, Osiris, Taijitu and New Pacific Order (The Pacific), along with recognizing Bachtendekuppen as the inter-regional diplomat whose advice proved exceptional,
What did Bachtendekuppen's mediation abilities involve? How was this advice exceptional? What did these treaties do? Without these answered it comes across again as...this is important to these regions...but why is it important to me, why should I vote for this?
Further recognizing Bachtendekuppen's great contribution to the University of The East Pacific, creating the Library of the history of The East Pacific, and its recent help with writing regional chronicles,
Same as above. No one knows of this University or what it does beyond writing chronicles for another region, or whether or not it has any value.
Applauding Bachtendekuppen's great work as the former Editor of the Eastern Pacific News Service (currently Ministry of Information), Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arbiter of Conclave, Minister of Culture and Education, Provost, World Assembly Delegate and many more,
Aware of Bachtendekuppen's current contribution to the region as the Magister, Vizier, member of Foreign Affairs Comittee and adviser to region-mates,
But we are not aware of this, nor have we seen these contributions or news articles. Certainly something more than a mentioning of titles, and being given an explanation of what these mean, would go a long way to making people understand why they should vote for this.
Further applauding Bachtendekuppen's undying loyalty to The East Pacific region,
Bachtendekuppen may have 'undying loyalty to The East Pacific region', but Lazarenes may have undying loyalty to Lazarus. What did Bachtendekuppen do to demonstrate undying loyalty? No one in Lazarus knows this.
Impressed with Bachtendekuppen's influence within all three parts of the regional government and several regions,
What did this influence entail? If this was a positive influence, what did this influence involve? As right now, all Lazarenes know is that a foreign nation of a foreign region did great things in foreign regions.
Further noting Bachtendekuppen's contribution to the Magisterium by drafting the Curia Act, an instrumental piece of legislature for the regional government,
What is the Curia Act? What is the Magisterium? How is any of this important? What is the contribution Bachtendekuppen made?
It isn't surprising to me that most are voting against within Lazarus, because unless they know the answers to most of these questions, they aren't likely to vote for, or vote at all (as they don't know enough).
