Raiding regions isn't particularly commendable, and the non raiding achievements seem to be exclusive to one region bar a song. Looks like, as with many other votes, the individual votes are against by large margins but in the total vote, the for side is winning due to the large delegates drowning out the individual voices.
As I have said multiple times, the proposal lists qualities, values, and organization that the nominee brought to TBH and the raiding community. It is not commending raiding. It is commending the work that they did to foster positive OOC values. We also have had commendations that listed achievements from only one region so that should not be disqualifier either. Lastly, two songs are listed. Two really good songs that I would argue has inspired several others to song write in NationStates.
