[PASSED] Commend Paffnia

[Unibot III]

Things to leave in 2018: Accusations of "badge hunting" against every single Security Council author who regularly contributes to the Security Council.

I'm imagining a kind of Indiana Jones character running around the Hallowed Jungles, dodging flaming arrows in search of the long lost Bible of Gruenberg.

"Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."

That's a good one. I've imagined it more like Elmer Fudd. "Be vewwy vewwy quiet, I'm hunting wadges."

[Jocospor]

Lmfao. Kuri isn't badgehunting, she just writes resolutions for things that she thinks warrant it. Stop being so salty towards everyone who ever disagreed with you (90% of NS). Doesn't help anyone.

Couldn't agree with this more. I'm not a badge hunter, I hate badge hunters which you should know from our many confrontations in this forum. I only write resolutions that I think are worthy to be voted upon, and this one most certainly is.

You'll understand if we have a hard time believing that, considering you've been directly or indirectly associated with four out of five of the most recent Security Council resolutions - unless you campaigned for Bach as well, we can't remember. Sometimes it pays to be prolific, sometimes it doesn't. And in the space of 20 days too - we're surprised if you haven't been asked, "Hey, what's the rush?"

Paffnia has made many valuable contributions to XKI over the years, but the sum of their inter-regional import is, we believe, less than satisfactory for a commendation. This objection has also been noted by others. It might be more fitting to immortalise Paffnia in XKI first before you set your sights on the world.

This objection has also been noted by others. It might be more fitting to immortalise Paffnia in XKI first before you set your sights on the world.

Paffina has been involved in over 300 liberations of occupied regions, including Yggdrasil(One of the most well respected region in the game; a liberation for which they were awarded the Yggdrasil Medal of Honor) Greece(Which allowed them to begin rebuilding after years of occupation) Japan and Christmas (whose occupations i'm not familiar with but which have since gone on to develop a wonderful communities) and many more then I know enough to go into detail about, but i'll mention St Abbaddon, Middle Earth(thirteen times), The Rejected Realms(three times), The South Pacific, Lazarus, and Osiris(both twice)

Additionally Paffnia has been immortalized in XKI as you suggest. They've also been recognized by several of the regions they liberated. I've already mentioned their Medal of Honor for liberating Yggdrasil. but they've also been named a Friend of Yggdrasil and Freind of Texas.
In XKI they've been named Knight Legion Commander, awarded the 10000 Islands Distinguished Service Medal, Order of the Islands Medal, Commendation Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Heart of the Islands Medal, Steadfast Badge, Two Coast Watcher Eagles(awarded for spotting the invasions before they begin), and eleven Refound Pins (USA, The Skeleton Army, Beyond the Sea, Deutschland, Australia, Natan Region, Animal House, Austria Lib, Hogwarts, Greece, and United States Congress)

The argument that a player that has spent seven years prolifically defending and restoring hundreds of regions(some of which have gone on to be recognised for their contributions by this very body) has somehow not contributed outside their home region is fundamentally absurd. Which is why the only person who made the argument backed off of it once they got the facts.

I've done most of that as well (My lib count is probably higher but GCR missions are lower). I'd i've hoped for a bigger number myself, 350 in seven years is fairly lacklustre.

Would you say you've never contributed outside your home region?

[Drop Your Pants]

Would you say you've never contributed outside your home region?

I've had multiple home regions across my NS life, I like to think I contributed once or twice. If you mean in a defender context, not really. Most of the time its jump in, kick the raiders and leave the natives alone to their own devices (and pray to Fratt you don't have to go back in the next day). Half the time they don't notice what's happening.

What does it matter how busy I am in the SC? Why does it matter that I'm a prolific author? It just so happens that I like the SC, and I like drafting and submitting proposals. Not very many people hold to the opinion you said others have noted, and no i have not been asked "what's the rush" because being prolific in the SC is not a bad thing. As for your comments on Paffnia, I think Aclion replied adequately to that and see no need to add more there.

It concerns us that you lend heavily to the argument that you are indeed a badge-hunter. How can the Security Council be reassured that you submit "Commend Paffnia" with honest intentions?

The “badge hunt” argument is the dumbest thing ever for authors that already have it. You don’t get more badges for authoring more resolutions.

Also, there is no “us” here, you’re the only one making this argument.

This rebuttal is one we might expect from another who has authored so many resolutions. Visually, you only get one badge. Visually.


OOC: In that instance, I was referring to just my nation. A nation cannot role-play itself, it must have characters to do that. And as the Imperial Empire's top men wouldn't deal with petty tasks like posting on forum threads (EDIT: unless, you know, Trump), a secretarial unit handles such activities. The respective offices are in my signature; obviously, these communications are coming from the Delegate's Office.

[Kuriko]

*yawns* Your arguments are moot Jocospor, since your accusations are completely misguided and untrue. I've said it many times, I like authoring SC resolutions. This is one of two parts that actually keeps me active in NS. Your badge hunting accusations would be true if I were targeting unworthy nations or regions, but I'm not. Being a prolific author does not make one a badge hunter, what it makes one is better at authoring well-written resolutions. The real badge hunter is you, among others from CCD, that keep trying to put up bad proposals to commend your own region or repeal commendations of players that deserve said commendations.

*the Delegate's Office executes its own yawn, synchronised* We shall have to agree to disagree. Some corners of the world will accept your word, others will accept ours. At this rate, though, your proposal isn't going to reach the quorum so, you're right, our argument is rather moot.

The difference being that the people who accept your argument are a tiny minority, which is why you've failed every time you've brought something before this assembly.

The reason its failing to reach quorum is due to delegate fatigue, as well as too many campaign proposals. Add in CCD's incessant WA/delegate wide telegrams on even the smallest of matters and you see why. I'll resubmit this in a few weeks when fatigue isn't so bad.

[Goddess Relief Office]

Supported. Paffnia is one of the most consistently responsible players I've met on NS who always diligently discharged his duties whether its a role as important as Delegate of 10KI, or something inconsequential as an emissary to a tiny region like ours. He's also a rare NS player whose accomplishments span both gameplay and the WA.

[Kuriko]

I've switched around the TITO and 10ki information and have re-submitted this. Hopefully campaign fatigue has dropped off this time and it will reach quorum.

[Jocospor]

There is a reason this did not reach quorum the first time, and we don't think it has much to do with "campaign fatigue" or whatever.

[Kuriko]

Actually, that's precisely why it didn't achieve quorum. If you knew how campaigning the right way works, you would know that.

If "campaigning the right way" involves dishing out fictional cookies to people, we'll take a pass. Champagne is much classier.

Your most recent campaign telegram seems fairly vague. You didn't even provide a link to this thread. Hmm.

Greetings, esteemed World Assembly delegates. Today I am messaging you to ask you to please approve my SC proposal, Commend Paffnia. Paffnia has accomplished a lot of things in the region 10000 Islands, as well as dedicated over 7 years to defending founderless regions from raiders.

My proposal is meant to recognize Paffnia on the international level for their deeds, some of which are more extensive than some recently passed commendations. So please, approve my proposal so it can go to vote!!

Kuriko

PS I'll give a tasty cookie to the first 81 delegates that approve it [cookie] [cookie]

Oh my god, its the end of the world!!! I forgot to link a discussion thread for one time only!

[Aclion]

This discussion thread is half you whining and other people correcting you, so I don't see the value in linking it.

[Ransium]

This resolution is at vote.

[Promisit Dominus]

So I see a lot of things that he contributed to the 10,000 islands but, what about the rest of the world? I don't care about what he did for his own region. Give me a reason why I should vote for.
