Please look at this S.C. Draft or This G.A. Draft. Annoying WA & SC proposer since my founding and proud of it!

Are region is neutral in Raider/Defender game, however I feel like I'm the only one that truly pays attention to it as I choose not to vote on Liberations of regions, or commending or condemning of raider/defender regions. That is why I would like an Abstain option.

Some of us (*waves hand*) would like to make it clear to others (in our region, in the WA forums, etc.) that we have not neglected to votes on the proposal in question - we just elect to abstain from the matter at hand.
As a WA Delegate, I'd find it useful, personally.

As I see it, all Abstain votes would simply be ignored. The tally of yes vs. no votes would decide whether the resolution at vote passes. The point of the Abstain is to allow people to 'turn off' the annoying "(1)" reminder which is pointless if one has already decided to purposely not cast a vote, and to enter a "voted Abstain" in their National Happenings.

Unibot II wrote:Um.. that's bad logic. The WA Notifier would still exist, it was just nag you to abstain, not constantly nag you even if you do not want to vote. With an abstain button, it would actually encourage voter turn-out, because if you don't want to vote on certain resolutions you've probably become accustomed to ignoring the WA Notifier although.

Because stating, on the forums, and on your rmb, 'I have abstained', is hard work, amirite?
