[IDEAS] Ideas for SC Resolutions

[Ostrovskiy]

Could this get an update for passed resolutions please? I.E. Spiritus, MadJack, Shizensky Prime, and Kazaman is currently passing handily.

While at this moment I do not feel it appropriate to propose an SC resolution, I feel that it is time to take a close look at the resolutions that are put forward with increasing monotony.
I refer to the massive number of "commend ...nationX" resolutions that seem to make up a very large and increasing proportion of SC resolutions.
This kind of nonsense contributes nothing to the gameplay within the NS multiverse and leaves the SC wide open to ridicule.

Perhaps a resolution to prevent this getting any worse might not be a bad thing?

I mean there aren't many liberations and injunctions to propose, so why not commend a few, or a few dozen nations that have done good for the community? Yes there are many commends as opposed to condemns, but thats just owing to the fact that 1) raiders arent getting condemned while fendas are being commended and 2) less people want to play the villain. If it makes you feel better next at vote in the SC is Injunct England.

The alternative to a flow of well-researched and well-written commendations/condemnations, at least when there's no major gameplay event warranting an injunction or liberation, is an onslaught of drivelous declarations that contribute even less to gameplay.
Badge resolutions have the benefit of outlining the work of influential or deserving players, and let people learn about the recipient who would otherwise never know. Would you trade that for more trite about elephants and potatoes? There isn't a whole lot else the SC could be doing.

The simple point is that what you refer to as "well researched" carries little weight among most of the NS community.
The general impression is an "old boy" network indulging in a massive self congratulatory campaign that us lesser players should just accept

Bizarre complaints. A high volumne of C/Cs means the SC is active, that's not what monotony is. Nothing is stopping you from pursuing your own proposals.

Exactly. If you feel that particular individuals or communities are underrepresented, please share your ideas/get involved. Complaining from the sidelines doesn’t really do anything.

Not bad as a first draft! May I suggest the following edits?

Declaration on "commend ...nationX" resolutions

The Security Council

Believing that this organisation is an "old boy" network indulging in a massive self congratulatory campaign that lesser players are supposed to just accept

Observing the massive number of "commend ...nationX" resolutions that seem to make up a very large and increasing proportion of SC resolutions

Realising that these are put forward with increasing monotony

Enraged that this kind of nonsense contributes nothing to the gameplay within the NS multiverse and leaves the SC wide open to ridicule

Determined to prevent this getting any worse

Hereby declares that we should both get badges for writing this.

Is recommending Bestinor too soon or not?

Give them a year or two to expand their career

I may be on the wrong topic but I'd like to ask this rather stupid question: would anyone vote for a statement about badge hunters?

[All Tears Must Fall]

I imagine many would vote for, and it's definitely an idea. I'm not certain what the consensus would be though!

[Astrobolt]

This has been drafted before, but it won’t get far in my opinion. Many (myself included) feel ‘badge hunting’ isn’t really a problem, but rather the issue is low effort. Otherwise I’m not clear why badge hunting needs a declaration.

My idea would be to state about calling for action on these hunters and how this hunting can be prevented and make hunters become good writers and that is useful and necessary for the efficiency of the SC.

I would suggest a safari-inspired badge hunting declaration.

guess we'll have to throw that idea into the trash now

[Southern Ocala]

"Condemn Florida"

[Imperial Polk County]

"Condemn Florida"

But... but... we haven't done anything!

"Condemn Florida"

For existing.

I believe that this Council must condemn the Communist Bloc's invasion of the Monarchist Bloc. If we do not do so, we will be allowing any and all regions to illegally invade other regions

Invasions are legal. Also condemnations are usually handed out for extended actions and are as prized by their recipients as commendations. Why reward them for this?

[Omnicontrol]

Condemn Valtarre: his previous nation Reventus Koth was already condemned but then repealed in the "raiders don't deserve badges" era.

[Hulldom]

Still on the list under "Gameplay" under Reventus Koth.

This isn't the first time, nor the last that they have invaded someone out of nowhere. Now is the time for condemnation of their actions past and present.

It occurs to me despite the relatively intense controversy around her that Altino should make it on the list. I remember Wym trying it once a couple of years ago although I’m not sure if Alti is interested in a c/c these days. In either case, she’s certainly someone with the proper accomplishments, same as many other folks on the list with equally controversial and difficult paths to commendation/condemnation. Just a thought anyway
