[PASSED] Commend Honeydewistania

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

So glad you eliminated the excessive use of the word “like” as Electrum suggested - it was driving me nuts.

Current draft reads very well, I’ve got no suggestions for improvements, so good luck.

[Calamari Lands]

Thank you to Bhang Bhang Duc and Sorianora for the kind words and support.

Also, I made a small edit mentioning Sierra Lyricalia's WA contributions in the clause where they are mentioned. Resolution's still under 5000 characters and is otherwise the same.

[Outer Sparta]

Further Contributing through the Security Council with other resolutions, these being:

Further Applauding Honeydewistania’s leadership in MT Army or Antifa operations, in cases as their significant role in the complicated liberation of The Red States, which required many attempts in order to finally stop a deplorable fascist coalition from occupying and destroying the region, and Nuevo Amanecer, where the nation bravely led the attacking charge against this notorious horrific region and seized victory for anti-fascism,

Here are a few grammar nitpicks I have. You might want to lowercase "contributing" and "applauding."

Done, they're lowercase now. Thank you.

I fully support this resolution and its commendee. Honeydewistania has been a great friend to me and also a helpful mentor when I began greater involvement within the World Assembly. So far, I have written two resolution proposals, and both times he helped me in the early stages of my writing. As this commendation mentions, he helped numerous other first-time writers as well. He consistently writes high-quality legislation, and indeed is an incredibly prolific writer in both the GA and the SC. I also had the honour of working with him in both Mariner Trench and the URA, so I can confirm that his contributions outside the WA are also noteworthy. He has been a valuable ally in the fight against fascism on NationStates as part of the MT Army, and like this commendation says, was quite instrumental in certain anti-fascist operations. Honeydewistania has proven himself to be a community leader in both the World Assembly and the greater NS world, and in my opinion has truly earned this commendation.


Edit: Honeydew has instructed me to inform everyone that he is not holding me hostage. I have written this by my own free will. I am not locked in his basement.

[Debussy]

I fully support this.

[Free Azell]

Full support! Well deserved!

[Baloo Kingdom]

Funny thing is, this might be the first SC Proposal that I approve after rejoining the WA. I'm looking forward to it.

[Calamari Lands]

It has been submitted! Thanks to everyone who gave feedback and expressed support during the drafting period.

Good luck! If it gets to a vote, I will gladly support it.

[Orca and Narwhal]

Full Support! Nominee is completely deserving!

[Groot]

This is at vote.

[Cretox State]

Support. Always good to see antifascism and WA work getting recognized.

[Bernie]

Bernie voted in favor of this resolution.

Congratulations Honeydewistania.

[The United Front Empire]

Contributing greatly to the WA through the General Assembly, passing:
Environmental resolutions, which effectively created public interest in issues such as pollution and the destruction of ecosystems

Well that's gonna be a no, from me, dawg.

[WayNeacTia]

Wow. Passed some resoultions and conducted unspecified operations on behalf of the MT Army, which apparently cannot be elaborated on?

Pass.

[Cretox State]

Wow. Passed some resoultions and conducted unspecified operations on behalf of the MT Army, which apparently cannot be elaborated on?

Which operations are "unspecified"? Is it these ones?

Applauding Honeydewistania's work as a member of the MT Army, one of the oldest and greatest anti-fascist military bodies, via vassal state Anarchic Turkish States, where their infiltration and intelligence gathering skills secured entry into fortified fascist regions such as Northern Redlands and The United Nations of 9pol,

How about these ones?

Further applauding Honeydewistania’s leadership in MT Army or Antifa operations, in cases as their significant role in the complicated liberation of The Red States, which required many attempts in order to finally stop a deplorable fascist coalition from occupying and destroying the region, and Nuevo Amanecer, where the nation bravely led the attacking charge against this notorious horrific region and seized victory for anti-fascism,

[Pchelionia]

No nation with capital and corporal punishment should ever be commended.

Vote AGAINST commending Honeydewistania.

[Drew Durrnil]

No nation with capital and corporal punishment should ever be commended.

Vote AGAINST commending Honeydewistania.

that's not the point

[Outer Sparta]

No nation with capital and corporal punishment should ever be commended.

Vote AGAINST commending Honeydewistania.

Lemme guess, would you commend me just because I don't have capital and corporal punishment? That would be completely nonsensical.

[Vrijstaat Limburg]

No nation with capital and corporal punishment should ever be commended.

Vote AGAINST commending Honeydewistania.

“Gentlemen, fellow ambassadors... nations are still at liberty to voice their concerns and frustrations with official legislation, even if the World Assembly and Security Council have done all they could to minimize national sovereignty, we may still utilize our God-given rights to speak true on resolutions, and to vote them down if they do not align with our national interest. The Pchelionian ambassador’s judgment is sound and righteous, and they should not have to be ridiculed for standing up for their nation’s ideals.”

"Any nation that adopts a draconian ‘anti-choice’ stance on suicide, assisted suicide or abortion forever will be considered by our nation as ‘backwoods’ and ‘hick-filled’."

If you asked this question 1000 years ago, I would had said no. Religion is a good way of explaining things we don’t understand at the time. But we are in the modern day and religion has served their purpose. It’s holding back society with their backwards dogma

“Furthermore, it is the opinion of the Free State that a person with views as divisive and polarizing as these ones does not deserve to be commended by an institution as prestigious and respected as the World Assembly. We shall thus cast our vote against the commendation.”

“As a closing remark, the Free State of Limburg would like to earnestly congratulate both the Calamari Lands’ and Honeydewistanian ambassadors on their succes in the polls thusfar. Notwithstanding the differences our nations might bear, I would like to express my admiration for his excellency Mx. Hepperle’s contributions to the World Assembly. Their work should not go unnoticed, and even if we might vote against your commendation, You have my nation’s sincerest gratitude for all the work you’ve done.”

[Tinhampton]

Alexander Smith, Tinhamptonian Delegate-Ambassador to the World Assembly: I would like to thank the ambassador from Limburg for his opposition to earlier comments made against our delegation's earlier opposition to an attempt to railroad euthanasia through the General Assembly - although we will on this particular matter have to disagree with the main principle of the argument.

Doesn't take away from what Honeydew has done in terms of accomplishments in the game. Usually I base on commends/condemns on whether or not the target is deserving of one and whether or not the resolution is well-written to reflect that. In both cases, it's true for this one.

Did Honeydew hold you hostage too in voting for the resolution like you did with the microplastic resolution?
