[DRAFT] Condemn Hileville

[Railana]

The ultimate goal of this proposal was to see the Coalition restored to power in the South Pacific; now that this goal appears to have been accomplished, I don't think it's really necessary to submit the proposal.

I would add, since Railana seems to have missed it, that the vibe I'm getting in this thread is that there are already prominent Feederites, including the Delegate of The North Pacific, who are prepared to stomp against this proposal but just aren't coming out and saying it.

I was indeed aware that there was opposition to this proposal. There were also several likely supporters, including TRR and Lazarus. In any event, this wouldn't have been the first time I've had to deal with vote stacking in opposition by several major regions.

Okay... How would that have worked?

An international condemnation would have helped to reduce Hileville's credibility and would have made it harder to claim that his actions were legitimate. That, in turn, might have resulted in more pressure from other major regions to restore the old government. There was no guarantee of this, obviously, but I thought it was worth the effort.

That plan is seriously laughable.

It wasn't, actually; a condemnation badge would have lent credibility to unendorsement campaigns against Hileville, which probably would have seen him more rapidly lose endorsements. Especially if the unendorsement campaigns had referenced his condemnation.

I can think of other instances where a condemnation badge had zero impact on the credibility of the regional government.

I mean there was that time The Pacific was Condemned, and the only effect was that people felt vindicated somewhat and the author got a badge...

Yes, that comes to mind. A bandwagon condemnation vote that didn't take historical fact into account. Of course, that seems to be true of a great many of the SC resolutions.

Hileville was not nearly as entrenched and popular in the South Pacific as is the New Pacific Order in The Pacific.
