[Posted] Repeal "Commend the NationStates Community"

[Ballotonia]

Two things. First, 'one nation, one vote' should be 'one player, one vote'.

I get what you're saying, but actually changing the words in the proposal to that would make it break rule 4.

Oh, hadn't thought of that. My point is that One Player, One Vote is how it actually worked and calling it One Nation One Vote gives the false impression that puppeteers had more than one vote. They didn't.

So... how to phrase it in a way that's both correct and Rule 4 compliant ?!?

"One member nation, one vote"

[Metania]

Guess I'll use that then, so as to be correct about it.

One stockholder, one vote?

[Funkadelia]

We totally agree and approve of this act to Repeal.

[Syrakhstan]

I fully support this.

One stockholder, one vote?

What's the point of aqcuiring stocks if you're treated in the same manner as a stockholder with only one share? It gives that stockholder economic influence over other people's money.

The IPO gave quite an advantage to stockholders with a large puppet army (like myself), and with a long time residing on NS (like, again, myself). I personally ended up with 1.3+ million shares just from my own nations. The NS Community movement sought to overcome this imbalance by asking participants to agree to all participants having just one vote in The NS Community decisions. As the total number of shares indicate, many did in fact agree to this concept despite having quite more than the average number of shares contributed.

POSTED, time to see if I can get enough to send it up for vote...

[Azerzia]

I am obviously against. The commendation is valid and worthy, IMO. So, No support from me and I will campaign against this if it meets quorum

[The Mooo Cows]

We fully support this Resolution! The "Commend the NationStates Community" is a joke and not worthy of being held on the same level as those nations who earned one through commitment and hard work!

[NanoTrasen]

NOTING WITH REGRET that a handful of those that participated in The Nationstates Community's rise to prominence attacked other groups that did not share in their goal;

CONCLUDING that, in fact, The Nationstates Community is poorly named and exists to concentrate shares in the hands of a few rather than allowing the many nations of Nationstates to share their power over shares;

NOTING WITH REGRET - To be honest, there's always a few bad nations that attempt to twist someone's arm to go with their ideals.

CONCLUDING - A lot of nations are poorly named, heck, some nations that have some ridiculous names have been commended by the Security Council. Commend The Quote of The Day and Commend a Mean Old Man for instance. Nations had the power over their shares, if you didn't want to be apart of the movement anymore then you was allowed to retrieve such shares back. Concentrating them into one nation was the whole general idea to take control of Nationstates from the Oh Glorious Max Berry.

I'm not supporting this, however, I'm willing to just suggest for you to strengthen your arguments. As of now, they seem like the same old reason for anyone to be condemned/repealed: "Bad" guys hurt people who don't like them.

To also strengthen your argument, use this area to post evidence as to how that handful attacked other groups and the other things I've missed. I usually check this place to see any evidence to sway me to go for/against the proposals, and I'm sure others do to.

Anywho, good luck with this proposal.

You're implying that we didn't work?

Why yes, I am.

[The Antartic Regions]

Our Free Land approves this repeal: we are bored and just want to see people yelling at each other during the votation.

[Fischistan]

^best reason to support a resolution ever

And is votation really a word?

[Crushing Our Enemies]

It's not.

[Mahaj]

You're implying that we didn't work?

Why yes, I am.

How incredibly silly of you.

[Plobas]

The Lord Emperor Aruran The First of Plobas hereby supports this repeal.

[Peoples Empire]

I agree with repealing this resolution. These commending resolutions are becoming a joke

[Ballotonia]

The Proposal Failed to reach quorum, and is hence no longer in queue.

Can the OP let us all know whether this proposal will be re-submitted, re-drafted, or given up on?

I'm glad to see the failure of this repeal occur in the process of gathering approval from WA delegates.

It appears the rest of the regions do not agree that The NationStates Community is not a representative organization.

[Azerzia]

And now we have a second attempt at a repeal attempting to reach quorum. I am only posting in here since I did not see a thread about it. It makes use of 'flabbergasted' so I am curious if that is a first for official legislation
