Condemn DEN Central Command

Postby The Burning Hells » Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:45 am

Since there isn't a thread on the existing proposal, let's discuss it.

Now, given that the DEN CC delagate controling Catholic at the moment has approved the proposal, let me point out something - most raiders, for reasons I don't understand, see Condemns as a badge of honor. Condeming DEN Central Command is absolutely NOT going to convince them to stop raiding. If you really want to mess with Raiders, Commend them. But Condeming Raiders when they feel it to be a badge of honor is not going to discourage them. Condemns are supposed to be marks of shame. Raiders have turned the system into a mockery by taking pride in Condemns.

Furthermore, the proposal at hand is poorly written, and lacks specifics. I'm a raider (as my flag can attest), and don't like general anti-raider language (understandable.) Specifics - and specifically true griefing, like the mass ejection of natives or the destruction of regions, or even at least citing specific raids...do we really want such a terribly written proposal to go forward? At least put some effort into it, people.

I, personally, am not a Raider who would invite Condemnation, or see it as a badge of honor (and I think those raiders that do aren't helping), but I also think that logic in this case should dictate. Its a poorly written resolution and won't stop DEN at all, and will essentially be giving them 'street cred'

Er...ok? DId you have a different proposal to offer up, or is this just a thread to complain about the current proposal?

Proposal in question:
Appalled by the sudden and swift invasion of Catholic

Disgusted by DEN ‘s invasion of regions world wide

Hoping to curtail the practice of raiding

Discouraging DEN’s long practice of invading peaceful regions

Hereby condemns DEN Central Command due to its practice of raiding peaceful regions for no apparent reason.


Condemning an invader region for invading. How silly.

It is not against the rules to act silly on the NS. By any means try, and see how far you can get. You'll probably will have an easy ride convincing all those cry babies who hates raiders to support your proposal.
"Send forth all legions! Do not stop the attack until the city is taken! Slay them all!"
>Can I invade other people's regions?

Yes. The practice of "region crashing," where a group of nations all move to a region with the aim of seizing the WA Delegate position, is part of the game. Certain groups within NationStates are particularly adroit at this, and can attack very quickly.
>Once I've taken over a region, can I eject everyone else?

You can try. Invader Delegates tend to have very little Regional Influence, which makes ejecting long-time residents difficult. But Delegates can be as kind, generous, evil, or despotic as they wish. It's up to regional residents to elect good Delegates.

Wouldn't support this as I see nothing bad in them except raiding and that's part of this game (read FAQ). Not a raider myself, but wouldn't see nothing bad in it either since it adds more fun to the gameplay and encourages regions to establish militaries to repel raiding attempts.

What is the point of the Condemn part of the security council if the argument is that it will only encourage more bad acts? I don't read a lot of SC threads, but does this argument get brought up in every Condemn thread or only raider ones?

The DEN has been raiding for 8 years, I don't think we are going to change our pattern much based on WA wagging their finger OR the WA validating us.

Not even that, it's just every now and then a rather...unpolished draft comes in from an inexperienced author who believes the SC can actually force a nation/region to do/stop doing something. It's more symbolic than anything, but many nations don't know that.

To add to that, all Condemns are supposed to do is 'express shock and dismay'. Nothing more. They aren't intended to try to stop the culprit, to discourage these actions, or affect that nation at all besides a small badge on their nation page. All they are supposed to do is say that the WA doesn't like them. Nothing more.

On the other thought, if a raider nation is condemned it is like they achieved what they've been working on by raiding. Most raiders want to spread fear to regions as well as shock. If raiders are condemned then that just means they are already popular enough and should be feared.
