DRAFT: Commend Grub

Postby Grub » Fri Oct 02, 2009 2:31 pm

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post in here or not, but to answer the question, I am indeed a guy. Thanks to everyone who has discussed or considered me for this honor. I think it would be pretty cool to be commended.

Sincerely,
Grub
Founder - 10000 Islands/TITO

You've already been commended. Yay 10000 Islands etc. etc. Now find something new to talk about.

We have already noted your opposition from earlier. You don't have to repost it.

Let's hear it from the others.

Again, you're not a moderator. If an actual mod has a problem with my posting, I'm sure s/he'll let me know.

I refer you to my previous post. You have now posted the same argument three times. Unless you can come up with a different argument. Please do not post in this thread. Any more posts of this argument by you will be reported to the mods for spam. If you are so hell bent on opposing it. Vote it down when it comes to vote. It won't stop me submitting it.

Wouldn't the commendation to 10000 islands and now the proposed one to it's founder kinda overlap? Personally, I really dislike individual C&Cs, especially for common activities like founding a region. A Security Council should have better things to do than boosting some people's ego.

Curious, however, that you haven't attempted to refute the charges of redundancy (or, in General Assembly terms, "Duplication," which is illegal) any of those three times. Don't worry, I'm sure when and if this does come to vote, you'll put on a wonderful defense.

Although I am somewhat at a loss as to why we would have a "Speaker" (much less a "Mr. Speaker") when the SC isn't even roleplayed.

Can we please stop using the SC as a vehicle to glamorize defending while vilifying invading? I don't mind region liberation, or C/Cing the best/worst individual actors in NS, but this SC as a middle school playground attitude gets stale quickly. I mean, there are in excess of 50K nations active right now. What percentage deserve C/Cs?

Ah, wake up, Krioval. I haven't been on the forums here for many days, but I have noticed a tendency of the defenders and their ilk to bask in self glorification. All those C&C resolutions is a symptom of people having too much time on their hands. Let's Grub have his pat on the back and go on.
"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.

Confirming we defenders only do what we do so the invaders of NS will continue to talk about us. Knowing that we are the centre of your world gives us all a fluffy nice feeling inside.

Says the person that has supported the proposal that does the opposite. Condemn Grub is bias to the invaders.

Condemn Grub is biased against invaders and offensive players. It's condemning him/her for being an invader/imperialist.

:lol: Don't worry, I'll change my position! It wouldn't be right if someone agreed with me after all.

This condemnation is biased against RP'ers, it's a fucking disgrace.

If you have evidence of Moderator bias, I suggest using the Getting Help page or e-mailing admin<at>nationstates.net.

That's not been my experience at all. As I posted in another "OMG MOD BIAS" thread, the one major Moderator complaint I've been a party to ended up (at least AFAIK) with the Moderator in question losing their position.

i find it odd that when Feudal japan was un liberated that was fast, but the removal of the 10,000 islands badge has been slow and delayed
