[PASSED] Commend Karputsk

[Dacay]

the question I'd be asking is whether there actually was an "annual invader tradition of occupying Christmas" in the first place - I can't remember any but then I'm a child of August 2016

And I myself am a child of January 2021

But yes, there's a history of the region being contested every year since its founder ceased to exist in 2008, as attested by Sedge here. It got mainstream attention when Asgard raided it in 2012 and the SC Liberation was passed to remove its password. Since then, there's been an attempt to raid it ever year around Christmas/New Year's Eve by pretty much every raider org out there.

I like the use of “plucking” - gives it that sense of just in time.

Minor formatting query re your three bulleted lists. In two of them the first word in the bullet point is not capitalised, in the other they are. It’s a small inconsistency - use one or the other, but not both?

Oops, that was a mistake. Should be fixed now.

Well-written, good luck with it!! ^-^

Minor feedbak:
Would replace "their term" with "Karp's term" in the Praising clause, simply because "their" could refer to SDF and could confuse someone until they realize it means Karp

"successes" would be better as "success" in the acknowledging clause. In same clause, would remove "together" as "cooperate" already implies togetherness.

I'm running out of character space here, but I'll consider this. Thanks!

[Refuge Isle]

Goes without saying at this point, but full support for this draft and its deserving nominee. I have tried to locate issues with the proposal's construction, but it all looks fine to my eyes within personal stylistic preferences.

Wish it the best.

[Dacay]

This is now at last call. If you've got anything to critique, speak now or forever hold your peace.

We plan to submit this within next week, as soon as some RL stuffs are sorted out.

Swag

[Lenlyvit]

I wish you luck on this resolution, Karp is very well deserving.

[Quebecshire]

Against because Karputsk removed my Executive Chef de Cuisine role on Libcord. It had a really pretty color and now I'm sad.

_{In all seriousness, full unwavering support.}

[Betrayer of Raider Hearts]

Provided that current circumstances do not change, this nation will be used to submit this proposal instead of Dacay.

[Giovanniland]

This is very well-written and I don't think I actually have any change to suggest. Full support of course.

[Pisz]

I continue to be strongly opposed due to the nominee. Additionally, I think the choice of the nation that'll be used to submit this is rather unprofessional.

Entirely opposed to this since Karp used to be a bear. That's right, a bear.

Bears and former bears do not deserve any recognition from the WA.

[Guess and Check]

Beautiful nation xD

[Dacay]

Provided that current circumstances do not change, this nation will be used to submit this proposal instead of Dacay.

- Moon

This is no longer the case and Dacay will return back as the submitter for this proposal. Extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Just go for it, whatever nation you want to use. It’s a damn good proposal, full support from me.

[Dacay]

And let there be light.

[Apatosaurus]

Good luck! :D

The Partnership for Sovereignty recommends a vote FOR "Commend Karputsk”: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1651495

This Commendation is a well written, detailed proposal for a dedicated nominee who contributed greatly to shaping defender communities and militaries, built innovative platforms of cooperation, and oversaw notable successful operations time and time again. Read More...

European residents have expressed their dislike of campaign telegram spam. This is for various reasons: telegrams being annoying and, more impactfully, that World Assembly resolutions should not turn into a question of who can cut the biggest cheque. They authorised me and the Government to take action to disincentivise it in the Telegrams (World Assembly) Act 2016.

An all-WA telegram was just sent asking member nations to vote against this resolution. I have voted for it, in accordance with historical European policy – see section 2(a)(ii) of the Telegrams (World Assembly) Act 2016 (also sub nom World Assembly Accord on Campaign Spam) – against these kind of campaigns. But for that telegram, I would have abstained in this matter.

Edit alignment of image.

[Tinhampton]

This ought to be repealed at the first possible opportunity.

[Astrobolt]

This ought to be repealed at the first possible opportunity.

Reason being?

[Clorinda]

Full support, some parts read a little funny to me but it’s Karp so of course I’m for.

[Tinhampton]

This ought to be repealed at the first possible opportunity.

Reason being?

Exceedingly obvious.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

This ought to be repealed at the first possible opportunity.

Reason being?

They think it’s an easy target?

[Refuge Isle]

Reason being?

Exceedingly obvious.

I'm not sure that it is. Perhaps you're alluding to your comments earlier in the thread, which were debunked.

Seems like all that remains is a grudge that doesn't have political weight to it.

Reason being?

They think it’s an easy target?

It objectively is! WALL and The North Polish Union (see spoiler below), a native of Slavia, have already raised perfectly valid concerns about the nominee's commendability with most all WA members.

It can be argued that Karputsk is indeed commendable when considering the contents of the proposal at hand. However, other considerations have swayed our decision. The FRA made an enemy out of Europeia. To this end, Karputsk participated in operations to subvert and undermine Europeia whilst serving in the FRA, For instance, Karputsk served as a Cabinet member during their infiltration activities and had access to sensitive information, leading to a significant breach in Europeia's regional security. More significant, however, was their complicity in a plan to use Europeia as a means to subvert and eliminate their allies before ultimately pushing us into the defender bloc. As a matter of principle, we cannot support a commendation of someone who has participated in such subversive activity against our own region.

Hi,

I'm telegramming you because of World Assembly proposal to Commend Karputsk. This proposal attempts to make the case that Karputsk deserves a commendation for his work in various defender organizations.

Unfortunately, although the things the proposal does include is technically true, it omits many of the less-than-desirable actions taken by Karputsk over the years and thus does not provide an accurate picture of Karputsk's activities on NS.

For example, while the proposal mentions several successful defenses and diplomatic actions that Karputsk assisted in, it omits entirely any mention of the events in Slavia.

Up until late 2013, Slavia was a member region of the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA), and at this time Karputsk was the FRA's Arch-Chancellor (head). At the end of 2013, Slavia decided to withdraw and notified the FRA of this, but the FRA refused to acknowledge the withdrawal. Shortly afterwards in January 2014, Slavia was raided by the United Imperial Armed Forces (UIAF), which was at war with the FRA at the time. After a month-long occupation of Slavia by the UIAF, an FRA-led operation in February 2014 ousted the UIAF delegate and seized that position for itself.

This began the FRA occupation of Slavia (which again, occurred under Karputsk's administration). In spite of the presence of a sizable native community and over their objections, the FRA continued to occupy Slavia until April 2014, when native control was finally restored. This meant that Karputsk's raid on Slavia lasted about 3 times as long as the UIAF occupation.

In spite of this shocking legacy, there are still those that wish to see Karputsk commended.

What I'm asking you to do today is to go and vote AGAINST "Commend Karputsk". Tell the WA that such nations are not deserving of commendations!

If you have any questions, feel free to telegram me.
