[PASSED] Condemn This Game

[Lord Dominator]

Yolo! Anyways, presenting my April Fool's attempt at being funny, complete with insults of basically every community on this site (except defenders, NS Sports, and possibly P2TM; though I can also do other broad ones like Cards if you all want me too). I've attempted to be even-handed on the insults, but let me know if I perhaps went too far. This relies on the symbolic proposal rules, which is to say that the region name is officially just coincidental and I just need to be reasonably accurate in my description of the region (I've personally done many of the things on the list, am trying to recruit more puppets to cover the rest and in general). I own the region in question, intend to submit at the latest so that it's at vote on the minor of April 1st (I'm aware that's not a lot of time), and don't particularly intend for this to pass anyways.

The Security Council;

Observing the region called This Game;

Aware that it contains a number of nations;

Aghast that all of the nations in said region were previously perfectly normal nations, before their entry into This Game;

Horrified at the many monstrous things these nations now engage in, such as:

• Perverse raiding activity against innocent regions for twisted amusement
• Formulation of puzzling problems for national leaders
• Pursuit of a variety of petty international disputes
• Pursuit of a variety of petty interregional disputes
• Attempting to impose their will upon other nations via supposedly benevolent international organizations
• Argumentation with anyone and everything purely in the goal of being right
• General arrogance

Aware that not every nation is represented in this region, nor is this body able to condemn more than one region at a time;

Hoping that this condemnation will serve representation of all the problems of This Game;

Hereby Condemns This Game.

Real quick, if anyone has excess puppet nations, I'd appreciate them being donated temporarily to fill out my support for the list of nation activities. Not trying to recruit to be clear, just need the puppets for a couple days.

[Bowzin]

You have my support.

[Sebero Sree]

This game must be condemned. Full support.

[Tinhampton]

SUPPORT. This Game is bad and it needs to be made to feel bad!

[Goose Step]

As a native of the region in question, I can say with complete assurance that LD is displaying an appalling lack of understanding of the community of This Game in the drafting of this proposal. This is a blatant smear campaign and an obvious badge hunt. Truly reprehensible.

Merciless war against the imperialist jaywalker raider.

PS. No one cares about your condemnation.

PPS. We will bury you, jaywalker raider!

These are the rulings on symbolic proposals I'm relying on, and the reason the proposal is written in the manner it is.

I may have not made this clear before, but my intended submission period is sometime within 1 to 1.5 days from now (between, not from now to then) in order that it be at vote during at least some portion of April Fools Day.

You mentioned "Pursuit of a variety of petty interregional disputes" twice.

[Lord Dominator]

You mentioned "Pursuit of a variety of petty interregional disputes" twice.

First is 'international' and second is 'interregional.' Namechecking RP in general and Gameplay in general, though I've realized just now that both apply equally to each in all likelihood.

[Generally Arrogant Player]

Full support!

'Cept that my WA is parked elsewhere. But full support anyway!
Totally not a puppet of Reppy's evil alter-ego, Reploid Seductions. Totally.

This Game deserves a commendation, not a condemnation!



Oh, what the hell. Support.

Support for the memes!

I know a lot of people have this on their mind, but I'll be the first to say it: this proposal is fairly bad.

This is obviously badgehunting point scoring with no real effort put in. This sort of thing has been tried again and again... andagainand-- you get the point. If you're going to make a joke proposal, make it funny. Don't just point real problems with the game, like gameplay's invasion of other genres in the game, or the internet's widespread disrespect, or literally just describing issues. Pander to voters. Find people in each subculture and ask them what funny foibles they can think of. Right now, there's no real joke except that the proposal has an absurd concept, so I can't distinguish it from any other poorly-made joke sent through here. There's nothing to incentivize passing this instead of something else.

If you want something remotely close to passing, pay attention during the April Fools event. Did someone think of something particularly ingenious that you think shows their skill and intelligence? Was the NationStates Community at all united during the event (maybe you could try that with the Game)? Etc. Right now, however, there's nothing remarkable about either the target or the proposal, which mirrors the execution of most noobs.

Against.

Sorry for the "bah humbug!", but I'd like for experienced players to stop beating the same dead horses and actually think of good jokes.

[Lord Dominator]

I don't particularly care if this passes, as I noted in the OP. The point is entirely about having something with this title at vote for at least part of April Fools (also as noted in the OP). If I can think of better jokes descriptions as it were before my submission deadline, I'll put them in.

[Aynia Moreaux]

You have my full support.

Also, a masochistic part of me wants to do this in an uwu reading XD

Good thing us experienced players don't care what you would like us to do, eh?

Maybe all those resolutions of mine you didn't like wouldn't have happened if I thought like you.

Did I not like them? Or did I argue for the sake of creating conversation around proposals and to drive activity? Hmmmm..... The world will never know.

You... you do realize that abusing deceased equines is basically the national sport of Nationstates, right?

[Banking Mafia]

Against.

Raiders and tyranny jaywalkers everywhere will not listen to you, my good Rejected friend!

Lord and Lady Dominators and invading Raiding jaywalkers, your condemnation do not frighten This glorious Game.

Edit:

like gameplay's invasion of other genres in the game

True that.

Well, players have been bemoaning the dictatorship in The Pacific for 17 years now.

In three years, the NPO will hit the halfway point of reigning over The Pacific as long as Francisco Franco actually ruled Spain.
