I wouldn't call lies and gossip "perfectly legitimate".
A lonely soul in a room by itself weeping. It lives for eighty years and then it's gone. And then it's there again. A reprieve. A good life. Love, children, a steady career. Recognition from your peers. Here one moment, gone the next. The worms have found their orifices. Diagnosis. It forgets everything it is. Anger. Rage. Distance. Poverty. The lonely soul is lonely again. Love turns to mockery. It dies. It is reborn. Worse. Lonelier.

Not sure if this is true, but it seems pretty messed up that someone who is delegate but isn’t the elected delegate is able to directly vote on WA proposals, given that their vote is also on behalf of all of their endorsers, which in Pallaith’s case is over 800 :P

The in-game Delegate's vote is subject to the direction of the elected Delegate during Delegacy transitions as per the regional WA voting policy. I say this having written the current voting policy in place in TNP, based on a previous version by Hulldom which included the same wording for that provision.

Ah, alright, so Kaschovia told Pallaith to vote against? Good to know about that process, thanks

I have no idea what this eternal thing is, but I do know if a proposal makes a serious claim that may not be true it should not pass. When I search the Gameplay forum for references to this group the most recent significant post I found was a raid report where they were raiding with LWU, and it was from like three months ago. Unlike the eternal thing, I do know who LWU is, and I don't buy they work with fascists. Proposal threads should stand on their own, so I feel like I have gone above and beyond to try to understand the allegation hurled here and I am left with serious doubts about the author. Hopefully there is just a lot that isn't being said which should be, but throwing that label around lightly is very serious.

Yes, LWU may have raided this region with TEO, but yet again, Fascists, past or present, do not deserve Trophy regions.

But we are not Fascists, nor have we been at any point at time. We have had a history of banning or imprisoning fascists and Nazis.

You're a little too late bud. We already proved TEO to be fascist.

It's called being the delegate of a region, and part of that job involves TGing WA members in your region to suggest/recommend voting a specific way, usually in detailed reasoning. Usually it's an upper government decision, sometimes it's a sole one based on the delegate's own feelings on the subject...it varies. As for why they specifically are asking people to vote against, that's something you'd have to directly ask...but I'd hardly be surprised if it was something as simple as a pessimistic viewpoint of knowing this will fail, so might as well go with it and push the next one to pass.

Hardly surprising. Given the author is in TCB, on top of the fact that their region is allies with BoM, which if I remember at least one of those are at odds with TNP currently. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the driving force behind the campaign.

That's fair. I remember doing that a bit myself in my earlier days.

But that's usually the only reasoning I can think of though unless they're jumping on the bandwagon of others being against due to the author's behavior...it's the SC, so it could be literally anything.

I think that it's ridiculous that proposals are being made because of how some people feel about the author rather than the content of the proposal.

This has some potential, it was at 20ish% voted for this morning, it's now at 41.2%.

That's essentially a core tenant of NSGP in general, unfortunately. But at the same time, the behavior of the author does matter to an extent. If the author is essentially just shutting down criticisms and even trying to tell folks who oppose to just not comment as was happening in the beginning pages, that's a bit of a problem. As is throwing around the word "Fascism" carelessly as was also happening...which that at least has thankfully since been backed with evidence versus just it being used because, to quote the author at the beginning, they just "want to fit in."

But an author isn't going to learn and grow without the criticisms so long as they're constructive...which I'd have to re-read, but much of the criticisms that I recall have been that (ignoring the usual badge hunt cries). And when someone shuts down those opposing bits or ignores them, that kind of thing...it's going to rub folks the wrong way. Yes, it could be a great proposal, but its author has continually shown that they don't really care to want to hear critique...to where others in support have had to step in and fill that role of defending the resolution for them.

I will say though that I do hope the author continues writing resolutions and takes this all in stride, a learning lesson as you will...regardless of whether or not this passes/fails. Because compared to the countless resolutions that just get submitted without consultation or proofreading, this is already at least a few steps above.

Considering this still has...what, 3 days left? It's possible to get enough support to turn it much more in favor of passing.

That being said, it's also possible that even more votes can appear to continue its fail trend. It's always an uncertain gamble unless the subject in vote is a pretty obvious pass/fail such as commending a universally beloved person.

Doesn't seem like it's gonna pass. The opposition has been rising steadily alongside the support.

This whole drama is so interesting that I might write an article about this.

The evidence against Nephmir and TEO has been presented in good faith two separate times here and here. As a member of an anti-fascist region yourself (or at least one tagged Anti-fascist), you should be condemning them along with us, not defending them.

As a German national I am quite simply appalled. This is not evidence nor have traditional stances on gender and sexuality enough weight to call someone fascist. I’ll remind you that these claims are slander (not only in social contexts, but also legal ones)

As a NationStates player I am appalled by the aggressive non-roleplaying aspect of this proposal. This is basically a direct attack on the character of other participants with (I’ll be honest here) bullshit-evidence.

I would rather support morally dubious people than this half-assed attempt at nothing.
