[DEFEATED] Repeal: Commend Imperium Anglorum

[Jocospor]

OOC: The new draft is extremely weak. It is mostly just filler with very little in the way of actual substance; nowhere near enough to warrant repealing the previous commend.

BUT IA VOTES ON THINGS SOON AFTER THEY REACH THE FLOOR!!!! Didn't you hear??? Oh, the horror!!!!

So you’re singling out IA for doing something that every other large WAD has been doing for years. That doesn’t really hold water as an argument.

You are all entitled to your opinions. As fervent supporters of IA, though, we, along with the majority of the international community, shall be forced to discount your objections as defensive propaganda.

[Blood Wine]

Very obviously opposed, go get your badge elsewhere

Not sure what gave you the impression we were "fervent supporters of IA"...

Perhaps you should curb your enthusiasm when commenting then, otherwise, as you can see, you run the risk of misleading nations.

I haven't seen any evidence that anyone was misled. You just decided to make shit up.

I see you went to the La Navasse school of thought of “you’re opposed to my idea, therefore you are wrong.”

[Gor Kebab]

Oh cool. Another attempt from the CCD to try and hurt their enemies via repealing commendations with lies, opinions and no factual evidence to why the commendation should be repealed.

But seriously, commendations are just a badge.... they’re useless outside of RP.

Aren’t you guys a raider region?

Do some raiding. Making security and or WA proposals just make you seem even dumber than people originally thought.

I, obviously against this repeal.

[Wrapper]

Frustrated that some of I.A.’s more recent General Assembly resolutions, such as and GAR#443 and GAR#452, are, put simply, seemingly incomprehensible to the vast majority of member nations; (emphasis added)

The italicized portion is seemingly incomprehensible to me. It also doesn’t match the OP.

[Otaku Stratus]

I think the biggest problem is that this person submits a WA proposal with a one-sentence description, then sends out mass telegrams elaborating on its meaning, essentially skirting around the need to actually say what you're saying officially.
on the other hand, it was the elaborate telegram's description that convinced me to vote against it, whereas the actual one-sentence proposal is something I otherwise would have voted for, so that shot them in the foot with me. Still, principles.

[Cedoria]

Hahahahahaha...

Even if IA deserved this, which they do not, I'd still be against due to the author. Joco and cronies have poisoned the well so throughly I cannot in good conscience support anything they use to further their agenda, even if it were a much better resolution then this.

Frankly, if the author of this resolution had achieved such an effect on the WA as IA had, then they'd be less of a laughingstock.

[Blueflarst]

Current:

Acknowledging that Imperium Anglorum (herein “I.A.”) has well contributed to the world, as outlined by SCR#223, specifically heading Europe’s World Assembly (herein “WA”) Delegacy and the authorship of near thirty WA resolutions;

Calling into question, in fact, the very sincerity of I.A.’s WA operations, which, though lauded by SCR#223, have of late caused mass controversy and disharmony among member nations of this WA;

Disappointed that I.A. outwardly uses its reputation and power amongst the international community to further its own interests;

Noting that, for example, I.A., along with a collective of other WA Delegates, consciously instigates and perpetuates the lemming effect during WA votes; that is, dishonourably dumping a large number of votes at the onset of the ballot, creating a majority for member nations to align with;

Appalled that I.A. would seek to undermine both the democratic process and fellow authors in such a deceptive fashion;

Convinced I.A. adopts an air of superiority when dealing with nations it does not consider to be worth its time;

Frustrated that some of I.A.’s more recent General Assembly resolutions are, put simply, seemingly incomprehensible to the vast majority of member nations;

Furthermore, alarmed that SCR#223 would falsify the import of the legislation I.A. repealed to mislead this WA:

• GAR#329 did not “[permit] national sub-groups to disregard and neglect nationwide laws”;
• GAR#350 did not “[stop] the World Assembly from passing any laws;” and
• GAR#396 did not “[slow] down the Internet;”

Hereby repeals SCR#223 “Commend Imperium Anglorum.”

I just hate tha nation full support

OOC: I'd laugh but I just don't find it to be a funny joke. There's a difference between making a typo and consciously manipulating syntax in a particularly archaic and exclusive manner to confuse voters. Please don't misconstrue that clause's intended meaning.

OOC: Fervent supporters of IA? Picking at straws to discredit opinions methinks.

But again, most of the accusations you are directing against IA in the new draft could be used against any of the delegates of the larger regions, so it just fails miserably.

[Kranostav]

This is honestly laughable. Really Im disappointed, despite beat down after beat down you never seem to learn.

Either you crave the self manufactured hate or really just aren't bright enough to figure out whats going on...

Against.

Our thanks. Truly, we'll have to quote that.

22 more approvals needed. We thank those delegates who have already answered this call to arms.

[ShrewLlamaLand]

How many of those delegates have been commended?

OOC: Why the hell does that matter? Most of the reasons for repealing the commend are common behaviors as far as delegates are concerned. No, this is motivated by badge hunting and vengeance.

Because, as far as I am concerned, the reasons mentioned would also justify stripping a commend from many of them... but you can't repeal something they don't have, can you?

No, this is motivated by badge hunting and vengeance.

As usual, you're wrong.

This is motivated by badge hunting and vengeance. It's also a perfect example of why this repeal should pass.

I don't see how you got Wrapper saying they can't understand the meaning on a clause to mean they are attempting to weirdly misconstrue it.

[Yokiria]

Imperium Anglorum has passed 24 General Assembly resolutions. Accusing them of badge hunting shows a complete lack of understanding on what "badge hunting" means in the WA. There's also no apparent "vengeance" in what you've linked, and considering the consistently faulty logic you display, I doubt any attempt at explanation could rectify that.

If this is your perfect example of why your best buddy Jocospor should get their resolution passed, then it's obvious that this resolution should fail.

So a behavior that they all engage in is bad enough to warrant repealing a commend in this specific instance? Oh fucking please. And there are plenty of other regional delegates that have commends, for example Tsunamy, but I don't see them being targeted for their commend to be repealed. I wonder why. Perhaps it is because they haven't pissed anybody off lately...

How is it badge hunting? Imperium Anglorum already has the badge of a GAR author, so accusing him of trying to obtain a badge he already has is a fucking joke. And I don't see where you are pulling the "vengeance" thing from in this instance. Vengeance against whom? Hm?

My assessment that this repeal is motivated by badge hunting and vengeance is spot on.

That same badge also says how many resolutions you've passed. It's very clearly an attempt to add yet another resolution to his collection.

And I don't see where you are pulling the "vengeance" thing from in this instance. Vengeance against whom? Hm?

Vengeance isn't the word I'm looking for; I copied your wording for emphasis. I didn't expect every word I type to get picked apart (twice).

A better word to describe the resolution would be "snarky" - there was a campaign telegram sent out against it recently that explains exactly why. It's an obvious power play and attempt at mocking the World Assembly.

OOC: That isn't a new badge though. Can't hunt for a badge that he already has. Methinks you are picking at straws to somehow make your statement accurate, but it's failing miserably I'm afraid.

[Gawdzendia]

I would be for, but only because I disagree with several of Imperium Anglorum's GA resolutions (GAR443 being the leader in that group).

If you truly believe that having authored one WA resolution is the same as having authored near thirty, (which is exactly what you're implying, don't argue), then you've a more warped understanding of badge-hunting than anyone.

And curb your tongue, sir. It's bad enough listening to your arguments without the profanities.
