Okay, first of all, I don't see exactly how this is bad. I know raiding is bad for the victims, but I don't see how "forcing their raided regions to thank their "Helpful Ponies" for raiding them, boasting of their actions for "raiding regions like a cutie" and saying phrases like "raiding is magic" on the World Factbook Entries" is bad compared to total banjection.

This practice reminds me a lot of the antics of the skeleton army, which were commendable.

Well.... Plem might not vote, because his term is almost over...... Or maybe that's a reason to vote..... And he's pretty far off from being able to shift the balance by himself...... But..... This just makes me think.... If we could get Aleisyr and maybe some others to switch there vote, then the proposal is defeated, even if it's so obviously winning....... It all comes down to a couple of people..... Or does it? Lots of people on planet earth have multiple devices, in which they could WA-multi without detection. So, it's entirely possible for all the feeders and influential regions to be controlled by one person, who could be calling the shots in NS, almost as far as [violet] does. And how are we supposed to know? The answer is: Nobody knows......

How depressing.... I refreshed my page and there was x votes FOR, then I refreshed it again and there were X+1 votes FOR......

Really? You guys are going to give these new raiders a cage of honour just becuase they raided 50 regions? They didn't even occupy them! Those where tag raids! ...Honestly, this is only justified by most of the low post nations that agree with it because they are Anti-MLP.

I don't see how they're any worse than any other raiders. Every raider changes the WFE of their victims. There's nothing really condemnable about bright colors. Save codemnations for griefing, so the mark of shame actually means something.

Postby Indifferand » Sun Apr 30, 2017 5:07 pm

It should be self-evident to any individual engaged on this website that the prevalence of such fetishistic morons is not only a malevolent and bothersome distraction to the smaller regions of the game, but further, that the acceptance of brainless raiding and narcissistic trolling ought to be rejected on the mere grounds of common sense. The Canterlot region is, more than any other, a detriment to the social standing of NationStates, and threatens the quality and legitimacy of future WA developments. Whereas raiding in and of itself may potentially be excusable, the raiding practices of Canterlot are laughably idiotic and reprehensible. Any desire for NationStates to remain estranged from these embarrassing people begins with this resolution. Canterlot ought to be condemned expediently.

Condemn Canterlot

I do not see why we should condemn them, there is no reason why we should intervene in their freedoms as a region.
If we dont like raiders, why dont we all go and whine to Mr Barry, i mean Jesus Christ!

I've tried, but I can find absolutely no fault in this condemnation proposal or its target. This should be passing by more votes.

I vote against the proposal. While the wording had initially driven me to approve the proposal, further statistical evidence should be provided. As it stands, this is mostly a pathos-based attack on a raiding region's aesthetic rather than their malice. Forgive me if I misinterpret the situation, but it seems that the region, upon raiding another, does not eject the original members. While it may disrupt the aesthetic of the original region, this disruption is by no means permanent.

I am surprised no one attempted to mention The Conversion Bureau or any of its many derivatives as a parallel to the concept presented by Canterlot's status as a raiding region, or its raiding methods.
