[DEFEATED] Repeal: "On The Supremacy Of The Potato"

[Jutsa]

I am ready to die and become potato salad.

[Drew Durrnil]

we need this proposal to have the most against votes of any wa proposal all time

[Pallaith]

Why are you still doing this. Come on man.

[Jutsa]

We need to test the resilience of the earth apples.

If they cannot hold up to charges of war crimes, government subversion and infliction of extra gas, nothing can.

plus I intend on inflicting as much damage to the world assembly as I mentally can.

[Pallaith]

So you just want to join the club of rabble rousers and troublemakers who spam the WA with nonsense because it’s fun? Well it will certainly be easier to evaluate future proposals from you I’ll give you that.

N-Day is just around the corner. You'll be lucky if there's anything of your nation left to make potato salad out of. I know where I'm aiming my nukes.

[New Astri]

you misspelled 'wary' as 'weary' but this is a fucking comedic masterpiece 10/10 no notes full support. my favorite part is 'potatoes have been objectified'

[Free Algerstonia]

Support.

Ah, but you misunderstand; I'm a special brand of troublemaker, built different! I don't merely use logic and facts; I also use magic, word play, and a pinch of salt. I am simultaneously redpilled and bluepilled at the same time. Maybe even greenpilled. You won't want to mess with me, kid - buckeroo. Whippersnapper. Because you will know I am correct. Even when I'm unaware of it.

I also unfortunately missed an opportunity to add "electrocution" to the disheartened clause. C'est la vie, mais aussi merci. :>

N-Day is just around the corner. You'll be lucky if there's anything of your nation left to make potato salad out of. I know where I'm aiming my nukes.

We have several potatoes held hostage within our borders as we speak. Do you really want to have their inability to be consumed, on account of everyone being dead, on your conscience?

[Drew Durrnil]

if this repeal passes i will draft a replace to this proposal

[Chipoli]

It won't. Trust me.

[TheDoorToSorrow]

Against. The potatoes must rule supreme.

[Ostrovskiy]

Yeah, this won't pass, and no repeal will pass for a good few months yet.

[Fluxoria]

As a representative of my nation, I vote in favor of the proposed repeal of Security Council Resolution #419 “On the supremacy of the Potato”. While I appreciate the effort to commemorate the potato, it is important to acknowledge the potential negative consequences that can arise from making it the sole official food of the Security Council. By recognizing other staple foods and promoting a balanced and diverse diet, we can avoid potential famines and ensure that all cultural cuisines are equally valued and represented. Furthermore, the implications of institutionalized specism and foodism against non-potato plants is concerning and goes against the principles of equality and justice. Additionally, the vague definition of what constitutes a potato and the potential disregard for sentient potatoes and individuals who are potato intolerant is troubling. The potential environmental impact and the negative health effects associated with many potato-derived foods are also important considerations. Overall, the repeal of Security Council Resolution #419 is a necessary step towards promoting fairness, diversity, and sustainability.

N-Day? In Febuary? I think everyone's turned into Marty McSpuds.

[Alessian Order]

As authorized representative of the Alessian Order, I must say that we highly respect the potato and recognize its undoubted merits. Properly cooked Idaho potatoes are especially good, which in no way detracts from other methods of cooking potatoes, such as: baked in ash, cooked in their jackets, used as a dressing for soup, roasts, salads, fried, stewed, mashed, mashed, with or without cream, etc.
But it should be noted that the national dish of the Alessian Order is dragon chili, which does not include potatoes. The current resolution of this assembly is discriminatory, and violates the intended equality of all cultures of this assembly, and thus should be repealed.

Jutsa sent the following tag:wa campaign at 05:54:05 GMT today, about an hour after voting began:

Attention. We, the Union of Jutsa, call out to all nations and individuals, potato worshipping zealots and potatophobes alike, to correct a mistake made by the Security Council.

We call out not to dishonor the potato or its devoted follows, but to bring back the honor that has been taken from the soiled spud.
We plead not to destroy the strides made to represent the oft-beloved potato, but to save it from a gross injustice that has transpired.

For four whole months, the Security Council has sanctioned the blatant discrimination of both potatoes and all other vegetables, plants, cuisines, cultures, and the potatose intolerant alike.

Four months, the Security Council has propagated the glorification of the war crimes committed against countless civilizations - with potatoes unwillingly attached, physically and reputationally, and the instillation of instability interregionally.

Four months, we have suffered the consequences of dogmatic infringement on national sovereignty, the rights of the people and potatoes alike, and the waste of untold numbers of crops and resulting food shortages and famines due to insufficient potato harvests.

Four months, the potato-kind and untold many other relatives have now become victim to corrupt black market scandals and vengeful incineration as nations become paranoid of the innocent crop because the Security Council decided they should be worshipped and feared, all while potato-worshipping nations have lost their prized spuds to these causes.

The time has come to correct a wrong - intentional or inadvertent, irrelevant, but the devastating impacts unmistakeable.
The time has come for us all, divided, to unite and repeal “On The Supremacy Of The Potato”.

"Taking away our own international recognition? No."

[Attempted Socialism]

I didn't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but the QA-wide TG convinced me to vote against.

[Pineappleistania]

I am enjoying this proposal, almost as much as I am enjoying the great number of people who can't seem to tolerate a quality shitpost.

Good work, Jutsa. Voted for, so now at least your attempt isn't entirely fruitless.

[Oblitus Terras]

Really wished you had strong counter arguments against the Spiritus, Potato Alliance or even The Salaxalans, which were the main reasons as to why the SC declaration was so popular. Instead, you chose to focus too heavily on the food aspect, which is realistically/objectively the point but its tone deaf to the actual impact of how potatoes are significant to the development of the Nationstates Community for more than a decade.

This just feels like a fruitless (lol) attempt at disregarding a declaration that was already solid to begin with. The telegram did not help either, its desperate. People who have played the game for at least a few years knows that its from someone who lacks support already.

Try again next time.

[Andami]

The fact everyone fucking hates this is hilarious, I'm encouraging this.

[Nova Universo]

The Mission are not dignifying this repeal process with a proper statement by our representatives. We are simply against this repeal, as the subject resolution is merely a declaration. No one gets fined, jailed or killed for doing things with spuds. If they do, then it's not the earth apple's fault. Either way this vote goes, nothing changes, life goes on, everything is still the same. If we could have a repeal against the more onerous resolutions of the Assembly, that would be appreciated.

[Underwater Sovereignties]

The Federation of Underwater Sovereignties wishes to express its bemusement at both the original declaration on the supremacy of potatoes and its repeal, and does not understand why the security council is being used for such frivolous matters. Nonetheless, we understand that potatoes have various benefits to health and are easy to cultivate. We are voting against this repeal, nonetheless, but we understand the health benefits of other kinds of vegetables as well, and encourage everyone to partake in a balanced diet. We are officially neutral on this matter and do not believe that a resolution on such a trivial issue is necessary.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Yeah, this won't pass, and no repeal will pass for a good few months yet.

Years I suspect. While I am no fan of the original Declaration, the quantity of poor repeal attempts has made it somewhat of a poisoned chalice as can be seen by the hammering this one is getting.
