They have a way, from the technical standpoint, to block people from joining the WA If banned. I'm guessing that if this new type of resolution is created, and it is possible to block a nation from voting in the WA, they can techy it so that it applies to people's puppets too.

I mean, I think there's wide support to see the massive 'bloc' of votes broken up, but allowing the WA to gang up and bar their votes altogether seems very unfair. We would have trolled Gatesville back in the day with a Sanction proposal.
I do however believe that the Security Council needs some new categories. It feels like a very incomplete project at the moment. Which is understandable given its existence was not really even intended. The SC was split from the GA on the fly to respond to backlash. And the Liberation category was made (again, on the fly) to respond to rising frustration with Macedon.
I just think the new proposal categories should help address something missing in the game or some problem. They should seem fair. And they should hopefully give authors a lot more to work with in the future.
If you're interested, I've suggested a number of proposal categories over the years, but these are the latest:

I seriously don't get how you automatically assumed this was about TNP Uni, because it most certainly is not. I came up with these ideas to foster activity in the SC and WA as a whole, and possibly add more resolution types that can be passed. This was not, is not, and will not be about TNP or any major delegate.
Edit: ill have to look at the ideas you had, thanks for linking them!

It seems like a whole lot of extra work for essentially nothing, not to mention that the idea of targeting a player rather than a nation lends itself to abuse. I would much rather discuss other category ideas.

Sorry if it wasn't, I just assumed it was because that's the region most people have a problem with voting. And Gatesville back in the day. (We'd have toyed with them mercilessly, I can assure you!!)
EDIT: I never thought I'd come to miss Gatesville. Jesus, I've gone soft.

Alright, lets discuss other things then. I've put up more than one idea in the opening post, so what's your opinions on those?

Is it ok if I link your proposals in the opening post?
Edit: What is your take on the other proposals though?

Mike said that liberations can take away a founderless regions best defense against raids, this type of proposal can be used to take away the single best defense against raids, a non-exec WAD.

I thought that last time I asked, the mods said it has to be manually re-instated. Anyway, the region can always have a different name.

Greece is the most recent example. Any of the liberated regions that are refounded get their WA Liberation reinstated manually.
Refounding is not a way to circumvent condemnations either: viewtopic.php?p=4547235&sid=f53541fe8b60e20bcab7096ea03b284b#p4547235

If Macedon wants to bugger off and leave their colonies for similar sounding names, that's fine by me.Fauxia wrote:I thought that last time I asked, the mods said it has to be manually re-instated.
Yes, it's done manually. But it's done. It's routine, really.

Alright, lets not go too far off topic here. This is about new resolution types, not about existing ones or how those work. There are, so far, a couple of good ideas we've gone through. The best idea in my mind so far is a sanction resolution to reduce a delegates vote by 2/3. It was also agreed that a resolution to do the opposite of a liberation, by making it easier for a native WA delegate to password with minimal or no influence cost, would be a good addition. Lets think about more possibilities for the SC shall we?

As someone that's been banned from the world assembly before it was temporary and has a condemnation on their main nation, both can be quite irritating. A condemnation effectively makes everything appear black and white to onlookers immediately, people either like you or don't. At least with a condemnation you can use alternate accounts and hide under a veil. But, when I was banned from the world assembly it was frustrating because it was my main nation and I wanted that nation to have that label. To think of every nation not being able to access it, and having to convince someone else to go through the trouble of repealing the ban. Because, I myself can't attempt to do it, under an unknown alias because every single account is banned. Just strikes me as incredibly extreme, stronger than a condemnation in my personal opinion. If you know how to have fun with it the WA can be a big part of the game whether it be resolution writing or R/D, and being completely kicked out of it can and probably will make a person quit.
