I agree with your point. I think it would carry more weight if you'd used her current, perhaps somewhat more visible office of Delegate of 10000 Islands as evidence. That position is popularly elected and requires people to be active members of TITO with at least a minimal amount of military experience there in order to run, and also plays a role in directing policy in the region.

As to what the target of SC#188 actually thinks of this particular repeal...

Of course you're right, but I suspect that if I used her office of Delegate of 10KI as evidence, she'd be obliged to say that she was offering her personal opinion and not speaking in any official capacity.

... Yes, the target already commented with their thoughts, Tinhampton.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Really don't think it will matter anyway. Given the fact the only major to endorse it was McM, should mean that most of the major delegates will vote against. If this passes I will be very surprised. Maybe someone should run a campaign telling all of Vandy's bad deeds. Most newbies hate raiders, so that should shore up the vote. :p

They actively worked with a known DoS. If a defender did that you'd whinge to the heavens and you know it.

Vandoosa knowingly worked with a DoS player and actively cheated. They don't deserve a repeal for being nice afterwards.

I do love it when people refuse to read through the actual thread or do research, instead see "raider posting" and immediately begin typing.

The above was explained earlier in the thread, and I don't -think- you can exactly predict what someone will do whinge-wise. If the defender was in a similar circumstance, I'd see no reason to whinge about it personally.

I'm repealing SC#188 because it's crap and failed to do what it set out to do (beyond Condemning Vandoosa), not because Vandy "be[came] nice afterwards."

You will note that the author of the target resolution, Tir-Na-Nog-Ta (8:33:46 BST on April 2nd 2016), got deleted by the moderators during the Predator purge - one second after ChingisOtchigin, fifteen seconds before Gest, and about twenty minutes before Vandoosa (8:52:29 BST on April 2nd 2016). I do not know if TNNT used Predator, was a puppet of such a person, or was simply deleted at roughly the same time as the important DEN people for getting into some unrelated trouble with the mods.

Do you believe Vandoosa should be condemned by a SC resolution?

Could anyone in this thread please explain why Vandy a.k.a Vandoosa deserves a repeal? I don't really know much about SC business.

when I was a Colonel in DEN, the logs of Predator's usage updated into a shared Dropbox folder that i had access to. DEN's top peeps forgot to revoke my access when i went defender and i handed the logs (and other stuff) over to NS staff. i say all this because those usage logs never showed a "Tir-Na-Nog-Ta", so either they were a puppet of someone that was punished when the mods came down on DEN and Predator, or they were deleted for other reasons around the same time

At least this can be the proof that TNP doesn't single-handedly pass or fail proposals.

*blinks*
I quoted Jakker from the second page of the thread, and it wasn't the first raider post. But continue with your line of argument, be interesting to see how far you'll go with it.

So will there be another condemn to cover it?

It doesn't appear that was planned, no. Maybe the vote's result will change that, since it also doesn't appear that a repeal of this can pass without a replacement to cover it.

Huh... It seems as of the exact time of this post 6315 votes disagree with your assessment, and that number keeps climbing. But do continue with your crusade by all means. :roll:

I'll be 100% honest, I think SC#188 is a piece of garbage, so I'm opposing this purely out of vehement IC opposition to the author.

Still not providing any verifiable proof whatsoever to back up your claims Tin. If you had done the smallest amount of research you will note Tir-Na-Nog-Ta had a grand whole sum of 25 posts, most of which were in the original condemnation thread. So when are you going to admit that you weren't repealing this based upon the fact that it was poorly written, but were actually repealing it because of Vandy's so called Predator usage? You went for the low hanging fruit here, and found out it wasn't quite as low as you thought.

At the moment you’re not repealing it. While not crashing and burning a slow dive towards the deck is in progress - I’d bale out if I were you.
