I think we're supposed to be the baddies. It's been made clear more than once that those who voted against are godless communists. While I think that sounds fun, the author clearly does not think so.

Well, in that case I'm a proud communist :P no, but seriously, it is such a pity to see that people can't take a loss these days, and have to shout "fraud" or "corruption" when a vote didn't go their way. I get that the author really wanted to see this pass, but if they didn't put in the work to actually write something worthwhile and solid, then they shouldn't be surprised that they're losing the vote. It's literally their own fault that this is flopping xD

Many regions require a unanimous vote for the majority view within a region and others feel pressure to vote with their delegate. If this was truly a democratic election, I would win by a lot.


With all due respect, regardless of whether or not this proposal passes, it does not even deserve to be and should never have been brought to a vote in the first place. I suggest you take a look at the resolutions which have been passed and come back next time with something more detailed and comprehensive.

In principle I am still open to voting for a condemnation of The Communist Bloc. I voted against particular proposal because this is so half-heartedly and badly written. If this is a joke proposal, it's not even a good one in my opinion.

Doofstonian, I understand your reasons, and wish you all the best.

To the rest of you, let a region make their own decisions, and stop pressuring them into approving of your own policy goals.

And let me just add that while I don't believe in a strict minimum for resolution length, I do think it is inevitable for - and should be expected of - a proper resolution to be at least a little bit longer than this one. This proposal, as it stands now, does not even begin to explain or offer the barest of proof for its statements.

Weren't your sympathisers literally telegramming individual nations to change their 'against' vote to 'for? Monkchester literally admitted doing that multiple times, or have you forgotten already? So, it's fine if you try to convince people to vote your way, but others can't campaign against you? That sounds rather despotic.

Honestly, I originally voted against, but they got me on my last nerve. They kept suggesting this "cOoOl And goOD" proposal. They sound like such fucking cloutchasers. Glad I changed my vote.

From the perspectives I've heard it from, Monkchester's telegrams compared to the pressure on Doofstonian were very mild. They were writing telegrams to encourage them to vote for fun. Now, compare 'encourage' to 'pressure'. Now if y'all had encouraged Doofstonian to change their vote, that would have been fine (something that both sides have been doing). But again, the pressures from the bigger delegates appear to have more weight than a noble opinion.

I hardly see how there's much of a difference. If there was actual harassments, that's something that Doofstonian could report if they desired. We're just arguing about the pedantic usage of "pressure." By all means, there's no rule stating that people can't be disappointed in their delegate for voting a proposal one way or the other; it is the responsibility of a delegate to represent the will of their constituents, and if that pressure results in changing their vote, then that's perfectly fine.

If you see the thread for that proposal, and read towards the end, you will see that this resolution was not meant to be serious. Also, it failed to reach quorum, anyways.
