[SUBMITTED] Commend Mahaj

Postby Sedgistan » Sat Oct 13, 2012 10:26 am

In the style of Commend Anti World Assembly:
Image
Commend Mahaj

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

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Mahaj | Proposed by: Sedgistan


Description: The Security Council,

Joyously noting the existence of Mahaj,

Aware that Mahaj has a colourful and amusing history within NationStates and wishing to highlight this,

Recalling Mahaj's attempts to "Liberate" Austria in an attempt to open the region to invasion by Aura Hyperia,

Tickled by Mahaj's coup attempts in various prominent founderless regions, including Canada, Capitalist Paradise, Lazarus, The North Pacific, and The Rejected Realms,

Pausing to chuckle at the apparent contradiction with Mahaj's current stance as a "defender",

Returning to the topic at hand, by noting that Mahaj worked with prominent troublemaker Frak in an attempt to seize the Delegacy of TRR,

Amused by Mahaj's brilliant excuse that this, and the similar attempt in The North Pacific, were just to "test the regions' defences",

Entertained by the less than stellar record of the nominee when elected to positions of responsibility, notably being re-assigned to "Officer of PLEASE CHALLENGE" in The Rejected Realms after 5 weeks of failing to even compile a decent beginner's guide to the region,

Pleased that none of Mahaj's schemes and plots managed to come off, as it enabled even more failed attempts,

Believing firmly that Mahaj provides comedic relief for the NS world at large and that this is a worthy action in an overly serious world,

Hereby Commends Mahaj.


Couple of sources:
The rest is from memory/private forums.

It'd been too long since I'd written a proposal.

I could care less about C&C's, but I can't tell if this is a parody or if you are serious. Must take an expert to know how to break the rules, hmmm? :roll:

If you think it is illegal, you are more than welcome to ask for a mod ruling on it - which obviously, I wouldn't be involved in.

Support,

However, wouldn't "Officer of PLEASE CHALLENGE" violate Rule 4?

An Officer is usually one person and by using the term Officer of PLEASE CHALLENGE, it would target Mahaj the person instead of the Nation.

I'm probably wrong but it's a question I have.

There's precedent of similar positions held by nations being mentioned. It's like in the EU, where (until 2009) one nation held the position of President of the European Council.

We're going to have to ask for a ruling on this one.

As it stands opposed. If another nation was to submit this proposal as written then we would support fully.

This has my full support. I've long been congratulating Mahaj on his genius, but I think it's time we came together collectively to acknowledge it. The guy is a crucial part of NS society today, and as Sedge points out, provides much entertainment, to defenders and raiders alike. It's just a shame we missed the potential opportunity to include a section on his contributions to advancing defender training, and applying revolutionary new technology such as MS Paint to this cause. http://i.imgur.com/PU7kw.png

AGAINST. Mahaj tried to raid TITO with his buddy, and was subsequently and unceremoniously gang-banned* from the region.

Gang-banning: The act of banning a single nation from a region multiple times in quick succession, which, while having no actual effect on the nation itself, serves the sole purpose of causing absolute shame and humiliation for even contemplating accomplishing the task they set out to do.

This is Sedge using the SC to essentially flamebait Mahaj (INB4ACCUSATIONSOFRULEBREAKINGGOINMODFORUM). The entire basis of this proposal is 'lol mahaj is an idiot'.

Being one of the mod clique, Sedge is allowed to do this. :roll:

Your source, of course, is your quotation of a supposed telegram exchanged. I also from the get go disagreed with your interpretation of this, so lets call this Non-Truth number 1.

Tickled by Mahaj's coup attempts in various prominent founderless regions, including Canada, Capitalist Paradise, Lazarus, The North Pacific, and The Rejected Realms,

I'll admit to what I did, but here's what I /didn't/ do.

I didn't really swap in Lazarus --> I told DYP that I was gathering endos, and showed him my nation. So he could see me whenever he wanted.
I also only endorsed Nai, CG, and you in TRR... some coup job huh? We'll be generous and call this Non-Truth number 2.


Pausing to chuckle at the apparent contradiction with Mahaj's current stance as a "defender",

Look, guy who actually couped a region is going to lecture about being a proper defender! yayyyy!

Returning to the topic at hand, by noting that Mahaj worked with prominent troublemaker Frak in an attempt to seize the Delegacy of TRR,

This is, also, not true. So... non-truth number 3!




So, yeah. Great work, sedgey.
