"You can condemn us. The vote as it stands certainly says so. But you cannot defeat us. And your hypocrisy, gentlemen... Your hypocrisy is disgusting. Here, my vote! I, too, shall vote to 'Condemn' Nazi Europe. But know just how pointless, how hypocritical, how filled with lies this condemnation is.

Mecha-Hitler stops, the head behind the mecha's headpiece window seemingly red - the nutritious fluid isn't very good at providing oxygen, and Mecha-Hitler needs some time to recover.

((Why is it every time I poke my head in NS after a leave of absence, NE is at vote?))

The Federation of Scarsaw


The Federation of Scarsaw holds mixed feelings on this condemnation as we will not deny that the past of Nazi Europe has been bloody and ignorant, but cannot vote for this condemnation as it is not an accurate reflection of the region today. Much has changed since those events and the Federation is willing to make right the wrongs of our region, but will not support a condemnation of actions we have grown out of and no longer practice.

The assaults you label on NE are years old and involve nations that have since dissolved. Truly this is now a case of the sins of the father becoming sins of the son, and it is unjust to punish now for crimes that were committed long ago. Much like punishing a man who is 50 for stealing candy when he was 5, the Federation questions the intentions behind this condemnation as it appears to be more like an excuse to punish than a reason.

What is hoped to be accomplished? Do they wish to curve our "nasty" ways, although they already are curved? Is this revenge for something few, if any, remember? Is this an excuse to justify a condemnation that was unfairly granted? These are questions that come to the mind of the Federation.

We agree and are more than willing to aid in repairing the damages that our reckless childhood brought to the world. Even if the Federation may not have existed on the international level during these times, we feel it is only right to support any liberation attempts of the regions Nazi Europe once raided ((and later lost the password to)). This seems like a more just and beneficial way to make amends with the community and prove that Nazi Europe is the matured and responsible region we are today.

The Federation would like to ask Defendingg not to turn this into a pettier argument and make the against side look immature. This second condemnation is sickening proof in the eyes of the Federation of the WA's determination to witch hunt the region, considering most accusations were individual members years ago, but that does not justify attacking or smearing the other side.

In clarification to the delegate of Scarsaw, I am in favor of the second condemnation, I just cant stand vote stackers. At least while voting, the previous delegate of 10ki wasn't as obnoxious.

It is quite funny that the last Delegate was the one you were quoting from the RMB -- just showing that you have no clue what you're on about.
Love you Ananke
Of course, I am perfectly aware of the effect that voting early has. You should realise, however, that I don't have to vote late just for your convenience. Are you seriously suggesting I wait before casting a vote?

Yes I know that. Ananke is still less obnoxious than you are, and plus I got that from the RMB, thats different from saying it on the main forum like:

Durr Hurr, your resolution sucks because I voted against it.

OOC: and in response to your last question: if you cared about the future of the SC and the game, then yes.

And, if I recall, there was a big complaint a few weeks/month-ish ago regarding your voting very late in the process (or perhaps it was a different big delegate?) that swayed the final vote tally from FOR to AGAINST ... or vice versa. (I'm can't say I remember the details all that clearly.) And, hell, it could have been in the GA too, versus the SC.

So far as my minuscule (by comparison) Delegate vote goes, I'll likely be voting in favor, but I have not voted as of yet.

Although we appreciate the clarification on your nation's stance on this issue that is very dear to us, we still would like to kindly ask you not to peruse such a controversial and petty topic like vote stalking. Yes, it can be frowned upon by individuals but to call it out in the open as such only looks like a desperate attempt from the losing side to scream "it's not fair!" Even if you are not apart of the losing side, it still can be perceived that way and only puts a dark mark on our characters.

In addition, as Mousbumples have pointed out, it appears that a delegate of a large region cannot 'win' no matter if they vote early or late as there are drawbacks to both strategies. On a personal note, however, the Federation does miss the previous delegate of the islands as, despite our different views, we had the utmost respect for them.

I recall such a situation, although I do not recall the exact delegate or resolution. The lemming effect is frustrating either way, and while it is still bizarre that Just Guy has so much more control than any other delegate originally I was lamenting the lemming effect caused by the title, not just the vote.

I made a souvenir for those sentimental types which Uni beat me to posting because I was writing a long post that I don't think I'm going to post yet.

I'm sorry if it was my one you quoted earlier.

Though it may still be the most nuanced you might get from the TWP.. referring to my alter-ego. :P

My souvenir has my name in it, though, thus making it infinitely better.

There is nothing wrong with condemning this country for it's views - not because they are different, but because they spread a message of hatred.

A fine line exists between free speech and hate speech - and when it crosses into hate speech, this nation feels that by law it should be stopped.
Leadership does not mean domination. The world is always well supplied with people who wish to rule and dominate others. The true leader is of a different sort: he seeks effective activity, which has a truly beneficent purpose. He inspires others to follow in his wake, and holding aloft the torch of wisdom, leads the way for society to realize its genuinely great aspirations.

Except it isn't a country, and it hasn't spread 'hate speech'.
