[DEFEATED] Condemn Nations Creating Regions For SC Props (*)

Postby Tinhampton » Sat Apr 11, 2020 8:48 pm

Defeated on 18th April 2020: FOR 1,562 (9.4%) --- AGAINST 15,058 (90.6%)

(*): This proposal was written by Davelands, WA Delegate for The Sportsbook and the former WAD of The West Pacific. I did not write or submit this proposal, and I did not write the campaign telegram that brought it to queue. Will (probably) come to vote between minor update on Tuesday 14th April and minor update on Saturday 18th April, after Commend Kuriko's seemingly-inevitable passage.

This is a beautifully ironic resolution. But a better way to deal with the issue would be to just repeal Condemn This Game and vote down/not approve Condemn The World Assembly Elite.

Against. I think the best measure would be to ignore these annoying proposals, rather than sort of encourage them.

Enjoyed the humor but slightly surprised this got ruled legal on the joke proposal rule. I would suggest that this falls on the wrong side of that, offering no genuine content worthy of a vote, and should have been posted on the forums and not submitted.

Obviously it doesn't fall foul of the DON'T SUBMIT rule in terms of flamey proposals that don't give a target a right of reply, but its just pretty spammy at this point and will hold up well written necessary proposals and drag down interest in the Security Council

It's no worse than "Condemn This Game", which WA members saw fit to pass. Not seeing a R4 violation there either.

It's nothing more than a joke, and a tasteless, unimaginative, undrafted one at that. This condemnation has not earned my consideration and certainly not my vote.

Ruling something a R4 violation on the wording within an actual nation or regions name would be very problematic but I feel like a judgment call could have been made on the joke proposal rule, rather than wasting 4 days of voting on this.

Also have a :roll: for every delegate that approved this and will inevitably now vote against it.

Because this resolution, quite frankly, may as well be a joke proposal. It condemns nations creating regions for SC props, all the while doing the exact same thing.

That was precisely why I, the ambassador of Luziyca, voted against the proposal.

These are the largest margins against a resolution I've seen in a long time.

Surprising, because I only got 1 campaign telegram, and it was in favor.

I guess that says something about the power of the GCRs people.

Or....you know....the resolution is as badly worded as it is unneeded and unhelpful. Honestly i dislike it for how ridiculous it is. I mean, it doesn't even explain into detail what the region is or what they have done. Its just a joke resolution, no better then the others.

That was a bit of a joke.

For the record, I'm also strongly against the resolution. Joke resolutions shouldn't ever reach a vote, and this should just be dealt with by deciding not to approve SC prop region commendations/condemnations outside of April Fools Day.

Equally hard to make satire that doesn't look too serious. I think that was more of the problem in this case.
