I still don't understand what the big fuss about Kaiserreich is about. They are based on the German Empire, not the Nazis. Even if they were based on Nazis, that isn't an endorsement of their policies. I have roleplayed in the past using ideologies I disagreed with, that doesn't mean I was endorsing those ideologies.


Exactly. Trotskyist expansionists get no condemnation for some reason. I think these leftist raiders don't understand history and assume anything remotely related to pre-1950s Germany is Nazi.

I believe when the international law is seriously violated or a nation's sovereignty, we should respond in a very strong way, on that note i will vote against. so should you all.

I was thinking something along these lines as well. I'd be down for a repeal of TRF's commendation.

Well in this case you'd lose. This proposal is not passing, so a repeal will not be required.

Which is something that should be repealed, I'm on the fence on a condemnation but their commendation is a stain on all the commended regions.

Outlined here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=825023

I decided to Abstain in condemning The Order of the Grey Wardens purely because I'm not well versed on the current state of international relations enough to make a decision, and a vote would purely be a coin flip on my half.

We stand here today voting on whether to condemn a nation/region based on a few raiders. I say let the raiders raid. The ones who should be condemned are the able defenders who sat aside and did nothing! What say you

Not a very good reasoning. You see the thing is defender need as many people as possible. This is because that the initiative is hugely on the raiders side. Meaning they have time to pile. Thus massivly increasing the need of personel and organisation.

In the spirit of your proposed condemnatiom every player in with a founder in their region also needs to be condemned. For they do not do their part in the defending.

Read the whole topic, The Grey Wardens are defenders (mostly).

The Security Council has always been hit with a lot of hilariously terrible resolutions. The difference lately is that they're making it to vote. I feel like I could try to Commend a random nation I've never spoken to before... let's say you, and as long as I put at least 2 minutes and 3 brain cells into it, it would reach quorum.

No. Foundered regions don't have some required 'part' in defending. It is not the affair of Kantrias to defend founderless regions with whom we have no relationship with.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

I meant that it is funny to see some one who is not a defender wanting to condemn other regions for not protecting other regions.

Defenders voluntarily take up a charge. Thus, they should be at least critiqued if they aren't following through on that.

TGW, for all the reasons I don't like them, are at least defending and advancing defenderdom. But someone who doesn't defend can still go at self-professed defenders for not defending.

My Opinion

Postby Crystal Sword Founder » Wed May 17, 2017 11:08 am

You know the Grey Wardens are probably one of most organized defenders groups there are. As for this ridiculous proposal, it's trash. It sounds like a personal problem you have with them. As a member of several defender organizations, I've worked with them on a couple of occasions. Each time was professional, and successful. They didn't do anything stupid. The proposal will fail so I won't ramble about it.
