Not 1, not 2, but 4 shitty proposals.

1, 2 & 4 steps into OOC boundaries, 3 doesn't given a reason, or anything really.

[SkyDip]

You should really work on explaining why these are illegal in the eyes of the SC instead of just posting why you think they won't fly. Up to this point, you have done a lot of the latter and not much of the former.

1) "Condemn The Royal Alliance" - not illegal
2) "Condemn Trololololol" - Illegal under R2c
3) "Commend Anarchist Alliance" - Illegal under R3
4) "Commend Vitruvius" - Illegal under R4c

[Romberg]

> ejects and bans

Is that a bit of an OOC moment? R4?

[SkyDip]

> ejects and bans

Is that a bit of an OOC moment? R4?

No. It's a game mechanic, just like founders, passwords, etc. See here:

Any term included within NationStates the game - eg. passwords, World Factbook Entries, founders, eject, 'black helicopters transporting nations between regions' - legal

[Romberg]

Oh. Still 3 P.O.S. in one haul - pretty good first time

[SkyDip]

If you don't actually know why the proposals you post are illegal, you should probably stop reporting them. In this case, you reported a perfectly legal proposal and didn't know (or didn't explain, if you did know) why the others were illegal.

[Romberg]

Alright. Understood.

[The League of Brasses]

Entitled: Commend anarchist alliance

Description: Condemn (yes, the opposite of what it says) anarchist alliance

Realizing that the anarchist alliance delivered a plague to our houses, burned our crops, and poisoned our water supply.

Wondering They did?

No but are we going to stand around until they do??

This actually got 3 approvals until it was removed from the floor. This is one of the stupidest proposals I've seen in a while. It was posted by TryAgain

[SkyDip]

<snip for not paying attention>

This was already posted above you.

Commend Grub
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.

Category: Commendation
Nominee: Grub
Proposed by: Kurtives

Description: Description: The World Assembly Security Council,

RECOGNIZING the United States of The United States of Grub as a pioneer of what are now vastly used components of regional government and organization, being one of the first nationscreate and care for a region to:
• create its own private forum,
• design a constitution for its members to obey in order to promote regional unity and better organize regional activity,
• introduce a regional economy,
• and establish a regional currency, thereby pushing the boundaries of the seemingly limited world of NationStates and setting numerous conventions for many regions that formed later;

ADMIRING the fact that The United States of Grub has accomplished the difficult task of maintaining a population of over 1015 nations and has cared for the region for over 11 years now,

ACKNOWLEDGING the existence of TITO, the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization, a defender army based out of 10000 Islands and The United States of Grub’s influence in it,

APPLAUDING TITO's home region, 10000 Islands and its governor, The United States of Grub, for initiating over 1200 successful defensive interventions (through the mobilization of TITO-involved WA nations) to protect hundreds of regions from raider invasion,

AWARE that TITO, aided by The United States of Grub also keeps the World Assembly from being overwhelmed with liberation requests, as their goal of "seek[ing] to live in peace with all regions in NationStates, but [refusing to] back down to those that wish to impose their will on innocent regions" shares the fundamental principles of the World Assembly Security Council, a body "dedicated to the dissemination of inter-regional peace and goodwill, via force if necessary."

NOTING that 10000 Islands was, in fact, the very first region to be commended, however the original commendation of 10000 Islands was later repealed because it was poorly written, but The United States of Grub’s accomplishment were still not highlighted to the appropriate extent in the rewritten version,

BELIEVING that the many contributions of 10000 Islands, and The United States of Grub to the world of NationStates go far beyond what can normally be expected of a single region, and are hence worthy of World Assembly commendation,

HEREBY commends The United States of Grub.

Repeal "Commend NewTexas"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal


Resolution: SC#131


Proposed by: Zainistan

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #131: Commend NewTexas shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: We don't usually think of terrorists as grand strategists. We're more likely to dismiss them as crazed killers or mindless misanthropes. But as another anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks approaches -- amid reports from U.S. intelligence sources that al-Qaeda is marshaling its reconstituted forces for a spectacular new attack on the United States -- it's time to recognize the strategic vision that has driven and shaped the terrorist movement for the past six years.

Even more urgently, we need to drop our preoccupation with Osama bin Laden, which is once again being fueled by his latest video. But Bin Laden's days as the movement's guiding star are over. The United States' most formidable nemesis now is not the Saudi terrorist leader but his nominal deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Part impresario, part visionary, bin Laden made himself and the terrorist organization he co-founded into household words. Today they are paired global "brands" as recognizable and interchangeable as any leading corporation and its high-visibility CEO. But mounting evidence suggests that his time of active involvement in al-Qaeda operations is behind him. Forced into hiding, he has ceased to be a major force in al-Qaeda planning and decision-making and, even more astonishing, in its public relations activities.

According to Asian intelligence sources, it has been two years since bin Laden reportedly chaired a meeting of al-Qaeda's Majlis al-Shura -- the movement's most senior deliberative body. The new video is his first since 2004. Two video messages in nearly three years may demonstrate his enduring symbolic appeal, but they are hardly proof of his continued command of al-Qaeda's foot soldiers.

While bin Laden putters about in his premature forced retirement, making the odd cameo appearance, Zawahiri has taken control of al-Qaeda. He has not only revived the movement's fortunes but has also made it once again the global threat poised to strike the United States that was depicted in the National Intelligence Estimate released in July.

And, almost unnoticed, the low-key, monotonic Zawahiri has become the organization's new public face. Over the past two years, the Egyptian terrorist has issued about 30 statements on a range of subjects -- pontifications on Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir and Pakistan, alongside al-Qaeda's bread-and-butter condemnations of the United States, Britain, Israel, the West and its various other enemies.

I believe that I am using it for the same purpose, using it as an example to show all of the accomplishments made by Grub through the 10000 islamds, and do not see in anyway where it is hurting someone. I firmly believe tha, as I referenced the source,and have used it for the same purpose, it is not in violation.

That doesn't mean that it's not plagiarism.

For the record: the same issue came up in the GA not too long ago, and Ard had mentioned in the GA Q&A that a more expansive (P.S. this sort of thing is still considered plagiarism) would be added as a clarification to the GA rules. Might I suggest something similar to the SC as well, for future clarity?

Being one of the co-authors of the resolution that was copied from, I wish to second Mouse's suggestion. This is not the first time, it happened to me too with one of the liberate resolutions. Somebody just took it and replaced the region name and banjected nation names and submitted.
