How have puppets been addressed in-character in past condemnations?

If you could provide direct quotes or just a list of links, that'd be great!

Colonies and satellite states are the two most common examples I’ve seen. There may well be others.

They’re nice shiny badges on the recipients page. They don’t actually do anything, they are a recognition of how well the nation or region has played the good guy or villain for a goodish period of time.

Yes. Do notable "good" or "bad" things and perhaps someone will eventually commend/condemn you. From my perspective, I would say that if you have the right skills, writing issues that make it into the game is probably the fastest way to recognition.

I suppose you can "work towards" them but honestly if you have the mindset of "I want to get c/ced" you probably won't be recognized anytime soon. Just put in time to areas of the game you enjoy and eventually people will realize that you're doing great work.

Is mentioning how close the vote was a valid action in a repeal?

Mentioning it is fine, but you have to address the contents of the resolution you’re trying to repeal. If you are solely relying on the tightness of the original vote then it’s not going to fly.

HE/HIM. Use those pronouns! Do NOT assume my gender!

  • A teenager doing teenage stuff (I guess)
  • A leftist (remind me to make a dispatch on my beliefs later)
  • A Christian with usually fundamentalists views (except for on the Patriarchist, (Bible wasn't a big thing on Gender equity) and LGBTQ+ rights, (Bible wasn't a big thing on that either) (Also the Mosaic law doesn't let us eat things like bacon and ham since in the Bible pigs are unclean animals.

Based purely on memory I do not believe there are any nations currently holding both badges.

I think Sedge had both at one stage (correct me if I’m wrong) and for some reason Evil Wolf rings a bell, though they only have the Commend badge presently.

Edit: Sedge did have both badges at the same time SC#18 and SC#54 - both repealed. And I think my memory is playing tricks with respect to EW.

If you contribute a lot to NS on the gameplay side, you will gain recognition, for bad or for good. Example is if you're a notorious raider, then you might get a condemnation thrust upon you.

The passed ones are pinned to this forum, the defeated ones are kept by Bormiar (you’d have to search for it and it’s a bit out of date though)

They've haven't been updated since September at least in the thread on this forum as I jut found out though, just as heads up Dominioan, so I would recommend going to the SC page and looking back for passed ones for the past few of month's.

I've come to wonder what the reasoning is behind allowing the continuation of a proposal for SC or the GA to continue on despite the author leaving the WA? It seems to me that if the author resigns, then too should their motion, which isn't even up for vote yet. Is there any WA reasoning behind allowing this?

I can't speak for the admins, however, mandating that an author maintains WA after submitting their proposal would prohibit them from partaking in R/D.
