[PASSED] Commend Spiritus

Postby Fort Concord » Fri Jan 27, 2023 3:37 pm

This has been submitted here, go approve! Thanks in advance for any support. :)

Since Commend Sarah is nearing relative completion, here I am with another draft for your collective consumption. Consumption, hm? Almost like how one consumes food. And potatoes are a food? Anyway, here's commend Spiritus.

This is my first crack at a regional-level C/C, so be nice let's see how it goes. My co-authors are both new to Security Council authorship, both providing great help to this proposal focusing on research compilation and stylistic editing (Creeperopolis) and writing assistance (Ostrovskiy).

General Notes:

  • Length is about 4905 characters, which gives us some fair breathing room. A difficulty with regional commends is deciding what to credit to an institution as opposed to specific people.
  • Potato puns and shit! If you see ones that don't work, let me know. If you see places for more, also let me know!

Certain Inclusions (or lack of)

  • NLO coup - Spiritus was involved but it seemed (comparatively) minor next to the Milograd and Gates/Osiris ones, so I've left it out. If people think it's worth including nontheless, I'd be happy to add it.
  • TBR detagging - normally detagging doesn't come up as prime C/C material, but in research I found out that SDF cleaned up the last of TBR's tags, and that seemed like a great fun fact and historic note worth giving them proper credit for.

Specific notes aside, I'm happy to hear any and all feedback either here or elsewhere! :) Thank you to those who have helped so far!


The Security Council,

Recalling that in 2012, the region Spiritus sprouted from the multiversal garden under the watchful guidance of groundskeeper nation The Spirit, growing into a sizeable community that has endured for over a decade,

Grateful for the historic iteration of Spiritus’ defender military, the Spiritus Defense Force (SDF), which peaked in 2013–14 (with a later resurgence in 2015–17). This organization was dedicated to uprooting invader weeds from countless regions across hundreds of operations, famously:

  • Saving at least 18 regions from occupation in May-June 2015 as a substantial or plurality military force in said operations, including long-time communities such as St Abbaddon and The Arab League,
  • Contributing to the renowned liberation of Anne Frank in late 2014, when the region was assailed by fascist militants,
  • Wiping away the remaining vandalistic seeds of The Black Riders some time after their implosion from existence. This effort was spearheaded by members Amhran and Blitze with foreign assistance from Ravania,

Congratulating Spiritus on their long-time diplomatic connections throughout the defender sphere, especially with the South Pacific, formalized by the implementation of the Lampshade Accords in 2015. This relationship has been the result of years of commitment to one another, such as the infamous 2013 Milograd coup d'état, during which the SDF fought for the Coalition, culminating in the restoration of the legitimate government,

Acclaiming Spiritus’ role in helping Osiris in 2013 during a period of upheaval in Osiris, when the region was subjected to a coup d'état by Gatesville Inc. (an organization previously condemned by this body). During this time, the SDF contributed extensive military support to the Kemetic Republic of Osiris and declared war on Gatesville for their transgressions,

Respecting the stoicism of Spiritus’ World Assembly Delegation, long represented by The Salaxalans (barring a brief hiatus in 2018-20), which has been a constant participant in the body, with stability and activity rivaling historic regions such as Texas, and eventually becoming an early member of the Partnership for Sovereignty bloc,

Praising the cultural prowess of the Spiritus community, being a key attribute of many inter-regional events, such as the Spirited Southern Rejects festival, a week-long event they co-hosted with fellow allies The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms in 2016 that included a plethora of games and social events for attendees to enjoy,

Adoring the annual cultural “Potato Pardon” tradition in Spiritus, overseen by The Salaxalans. Each year, two emotive potatoes are presented to the community of Spiritus, where they, along with other interested spectators, vote on which potato will be spared from a mashed or boiled demise,

Inspired by the community and alliance building, spearheaded by Spiritus via the Potato Alliance, an organization dedicated to mutual protection and aims during the regular nuclear apocalypses which have befallen the universe. Through The Quiescent Platypus and other Spiritus members’ persistence, it became an iconic fixture of the event for many years, notable for:

  • Having humble beginnings as a Spiritus-oriented faction before plowing forth and rallying several like-minded regions from the defender sphere and corners of the world under the tater-banner, cultivating a fantastic atmosphere in the face of nuclear hellfire,
  • Bursting into a second-place finish in the fifth nuclear apocalypse in a marvelous counterattack against the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, after being in hiding within the undergrowth of the very enemies that decimated them in the first wave,
  • Facing off honorably against the insurmountable Crabs of the Apocalypse, being the only alliance to pierce their extensive defenses during the conflict,
  • Finishing third in the seventh nuclear apocalypse, holding out against repetitive and intense nuclear hellfire as a result of the organization’s resolve and unmatched defensive skill amongst its leaders,

Recognizing the modern revival of the SDF, which, while not as large in size and activity as the historic iteration, has put its best efforts forward since 2022 in aiding siege and liberation efforts, amusingly with their spudly comrades in The Potato Union,

In awe at the far-reaching nature of the iconic potato-themed brand of Spiritus, resulting in the food being officially adopted by the World Assembly via [resolution=sc=419]On the Supremacy of the Potato[/resolution],

Looking back at Spiritus’ enriched history and their contributions to almost every aspect of the multiverse in protecting innocent regions, cultural prowess, and sowing a firmly positive reputation and influence on a community level,

Hereby commends the Baked Potato (with Cheese and Sour Cream) of Spiritus.

  • Operating in a coalition to liberate The Brotherhood of Muslim Nations, The Arab League, and Iraq, alongside several other militaries, all within the same deployment on 7 May 2013,
  • Saving Persis, The Imperial League, and Blackrift from the unforgiving tendrils of invader control on 26 May 2013, another deployment including multiple critical liberations,
  • Contributing to the renowned liberation of Anne Frank in late 2014, when the region was assailed by fascist militants,
  • Wiping away the seeds of The Black Riders from history, an organization which vanished from known existence. This effort was spearheaded by members Storm and Blitze with foreign assistance by Ravania,

On the Supremacy of the Potato, while fun, does not cover much of what is in this proposal. Potatoes are a part of the Spiritus brand, but the proposal has a substantial amount of firm content beyond that.

I'd say that the greater regional effort is definitely there, and commendable.

The main two Spiritus commends (Tim & Salax) focus largely on defender work elsewhere and internal efforts (+ the WA election) respectively, whereas this focuses on Spiritus' institutional contributions and efforts otherwise. A number of substantial things here, notably everything in the SDF clauses, are not included in either of those individual commends, for example.

So, I'd say so!

Hi there Quebec, I have a soft spot for Spiritus so I figured I'd throw a few suggestions out since I'm not overly fond of the syntax in this as is right now.

Congratulating Spiritus on their long-time diplomatic connections throughout the defender sphere, especially with the South Pacific, formalized since by the implementation of the Lampshade Accords in 2015.

This relationship has been the result of years of commitment to one another, such as during the infamous 2013 Milograd coup d'état, during which, where the SDF fought for the legitimate coalition, culminating in the restoration of the legitimate government.

Acclaiming Spiritus’ role in helping Osirans Osiris in 2013 during a period of upheaval in Osiris, when the region was subjected to a coup d'état by Gatesville Inc.

Praising the cultural prowess of the Spiritus community, being a key attribute of many inter-regional events, such as the Spirited Southern Rejects festival, a week-long event they co-hosted with fellow allies The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms in 2016 that included a plethora of games and social events for attendees to enjoy,

Id like to know why the Southern Rejects festival might be particularly noteworthy since this doesnt make it seem especially special.
Inspired by the community and alliance building, spearheaded by Spiritus via the Potato Alliance, an organization dedicated to mutual protection and aims during the regular nuclear apocalypses which have befallen the universe. It has become an iconic fixture of the event for many years, notably notable for:

rallying several like-minded regions from the defender sphere or and from other corners of the world under the tater-banner, cultivating a fantastic atmosphere in the face of nuclear hellfire,

Those are just some notes that came to my mind while reading, Im not especially well versed in SC writing synatax so maybe I am wildly off base with them but eh.

*Yawn*

Some updates,

  • Tinhampton - I addressed the issue of TBR. Or tried to anyway... I'm not sure how much better it is, still thinking on it, happy to hear any further suggestions.
  • Thorn, I took most of it but left one or two - thanks.
  • Removed from extra BBcode.

Thanks everyone who has commented so far!

Wiping away the remaining vandalistic seeds of The Black Riders some time after their implosion from existence. This effort was spearheaded by members Storm and Blitze with foreign assistance by Ravania,

I seem to recall (Soul's was it?) being in charge of TBR until the mods deleted the region. I also seem to recall a liberation attempt in the SC that was voted down.
Sarcasm dispensed moderately.

As explained in the original post and clarified in my exchange with Tinhampton based on her feedback, this is not about the specific region "The Black Riders". This is about the SDF's campaign throughout late 2015 to remove all TBR tags from NS after the region had been destroyed/taken over/what have you - a successful campaign which, as intended, got rid of all remaining TBR tags.

If that's still unclear, still happy to take wording suggestions to make it more clear.
