[PASSED] Commend Vilita and Turori

Security Council Resolution #30X

Image
Commend Vilita and Turori
Category: Commendation | Nominee: Vilita and Turori | Proposed by: Francois Isidore


The Security Council,

Recognizing the Colonial Union of Vilita and Turori includes Vilita, the founder of Atlantian Oceania, a region that was established in early 2004 and is renowned for holding the most collective NationStates World Cup victories amongst its members.

Applauding the efforts of Vilita in fostering a welcoming environment by championing the Baptism of Fire; a tournament for nations new to international sport and for providing them with the opportunity to practice and compete against similarly inexperienced opponents before making their debut on the stage of NationStates World Cup arenas.

Astonished by the fact that Vilita and Turori have triumphed in a record-setting eleven Nationstates World Cup Committee (WCC) sanctioned events, including:

  • Having achieved five NationStates World Cup victories (as Vilita: XX, LXVIII, LXXVII, LXXXI, and LXXXII); a joint-record attained by just two other nations in the tournament’s history.

  • Being the only competitor to have amassed five Cup of Harmony titles (four as Turori); defeating formidable opponents on the route to this accolade.

  • Claiming victory in the Baptism of Fire tournament (as Turori); an event for debuting nations, which Vilita has shaped influentially by being the former permanent senior host and by cementing its place as a permanent fixture of the NationStates World Cup cycle.

  • Possessing the remarkable distinction of having never lost a championship match until Vilita and Turori competed against each other in the 82nd NationStates World Cup final, following which they were separately recognized as #1 and #2 in the WCC rankings.

Noting that the standard roster form introduced by Turori in its co-hosting of the 19th NationStates World Cup has been universally adopted in subsequent World Cups and other sporting events to regulate interactions and encounters between competing nations.

Appreciating the organizations which originate from Vilita & Turori, which in large part have made an undeniably positive impact in the world of sports, which include:

  • The creation of Tropicorp: a quasi-governmental entity known for its research and development activities, being a provider of high-quality sporting equipment such as racing tires, kits, and match balls, and for having their equipment being used in many prominent tournaments worldwide.

  • The formation of the Cocoabo Preservation Society, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the protection of Turori’s endangered Cocoabo species, by administering land which is now known as the Cocoabo Forest.

  • The maintenance of Twii.tur, a social networking site used by athletes and their fans around the globe to keep in touch with one another and share their love of sports.

Understanding that the task of hosting international events is not a privilege that is bestowed lightly and that the duty of ensuring these events commence in a smooth fashion is an undertaking typically reserved for only the most prolific and experienced nations.

Awed at how despite this, Vilita and Turori have successfully hosted numerous of the world’s most timeless and prestigious sporting events, such as:

  • The co-hosting of six NationStates World Cups, which ranks as the second most hostings of all time.

  • The hosting of five Cup of Harmony tournaments and ten Baptism of Fire tournaments, which stands alone as the most hostings of all time for both WCC supporting tournaments.

  • The co-hosting of the 14th Winter Olympic Games with Liventia, which is widely revered as being one of the most difficult tournaments to host.

Cognizant of the Vilitan Plan for hosting, which Vilita introduced as a novel approach that allows senior World Cup hosts to mentor junior nations through direct participation in the World Cup hosting process.

Highlighting the many contributions that Vilita and Turori have made to the International Art Trade, via their avid collecting of all legendary quality artifacts in the initial release, the amassment of one of the highest value collections ever known and for establishing one of the most pre-eminent forums of artifact collection in the multiverse.

Believing that the overall imprint that Vilita and Turori has left on the multiverse, as outlined herein, is representative of a legacy that’s worth remembering and preserving for future observers; as both international sports and international arts trade are avenues toward sustaining peace and prosperity for participating nations in addition to improving the morale of millions.

Hereby Commends Vilita and Turori.

Co-authored by Electrum





Greetings, all!

This is a proposal that we began writing in late April and the idea for it was originally brought to me by Electrum. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Yohannes (who referred me to Electrum because they knew of me as an author who writes for roleplayers), and to profess my appreciation for my co-author, as the invaluable insight they’ve provided me with when it comes to the world of NationStates Sports has been extremely helpful to me. Had it not been for them and their time, their effort, and their willingness to assist me and clarify things, then I likely would never have been able to present this resolution before the Security Council for drafting consideration.

Additionally, I’d also like to thank Vilitia and Turori themselves for verifying the accuracy of the information included in this proposal and for always being humble yet also willing to accept the recognition that comes with being potentially commended. With all the acknowledgments out of the way, I’d like to remind everyone that any form of suggestions or recommendations is not only always appreciate but is also encouraged! Writing for roleplayers is always a very gratifying experience for me and I’m glad I get to work with others to accomplish these types of things.

[RESERVED] - For notices of edits and changes.

Minor Corrections -

1. Replaced a semicolon in the first clause with a comma so that it reads in a manner that is punctually accurate.

2. Reworded a part of the first clause so that it reads "was established in" as opposed to "dates its establishment back to".

3. Attempted to break up the larger sentence in clause three by eliminating the phrase "selecting and mentoring first-time junior co-hosts including seven that would later host the NationStates World Cup".

4. Added a hyphen between the words "record" and "setting" in the fourth clause.

5. Removed a hyphen between the words "all" and "time" in the first and second bullet points of the eighth clause.

6. Added a semicolon after the word "observers" in the tenth clause.

7. Moved the clause mentioning Vilita and Turori's accomplishments in the international arts trade near the end of the proposal.

8. Reworded a part of the ninth clause so that it reads “initial release” as opposed to “first round”.

If you do need to cut out any text to fit some more in, a few suggestions on my end:
RECOGNIZING: "includes" ---> "as including" ... "a region that dates its establishment back to" ---> "a region that was founded in"
APPLAUDING: clarify that "NationStates World Cup" is abbreviated as "NSWC" (or "WC") on the first occasion and use the abbreviation throughout
BELIEVING: cut out "that's"

Full support. I am forever grateful to Vilita for allowing my characters to post from Cocoabo Forest when Tinhampton was threatened with a godmoddy n00k attack on Munkchester's micro.blog thread. Also, great bloke.

I have only had a quick read of this proposal and it certainly looks very well researched. The clause about the art collecting though seems incongruous where it is in the draft - maybe better to move it to the end. Also the phrase “in the first round” in this clause begs the question first round of what?

Other than that it looks good.

Sorry if it was unclear. First round refers to the initial April fools event where Vilita had one of the highest value decks (4th, and could have been higher if other people didn't manipulate the values of their cards, as explained in the first paragraph). I know there's a better way of wording it, but I can't think of it at the moment.

With all that V&T have done for NS Sport, you could probably make this commendation twice as long and still miss important stuff. Well deserved.

I'm absolutely in support of this. Vilita helped me get off the ground in NS Sports, and his contributions to the sporting landscape on this site are voluminous. Strongest support I can provide for this one.

*issue editor hat*

"Recognizing the Colonial Union of Vilita and Turori includes Vilita, the founder of Atlantian Oceania; a region that dates its establishment back to early 2004 and is renowned for holding the most collective NationStates World Cup victories amongst its members." The semicolon doesn't work here, could it be a comma?

"dates is establishment back" is wordy, maybe "was established in"

"Applauding the efforts of Vilita in fostering a welcoming environment by championing the Baptism of Fire; a tournament for nations new to international sport, providing them with the opportunity to practice and compete against similarly inexperienced opponents before making their debut on the stage of NationStates World Cup arenas, and for selecting and mentoring first-time junior co-hosts including seven that would later host the NationStates World Cup." this semicolon is bad too. Can you break it up into separate sentences? (Is this even allowed in the SC, haha.)

"record setting" maybe hyphen

"of all-time" I would remove the hyphen here. ("all-time greatest" gets one, "greatest of all time" doesn't. I know, it's weird.)

"and preserving for future observers;" make this one a semicolon too :p

Sorry to nitpick, V&T are a great nominee and I'm excited to see this! Just want to help polish. :)

I appreciate your support and your kind words. I’d love to write these sorts of things more often, but you’re right: It takes time to put these kinds of things together and to write them the way that they’re written. I take it one proposal at a time, but there’s more to come in the future I’m sure :)

It's well written, but in Gogtopia organized team sports are a criminal offense, because they promote over-competition and mental health problems. Starting a league is punishable by up to 3 months in prison (just getting some people to play one game is fine though).
