[Abandoned] Repeal "Liberate Dank Memes"

Postby Oresland » Sun Sep 10, 2017 8:41 pm

Here is my first attempt at doing a proposal.

Repeal:"Liberate Dank Memes

Category: Repeal | Nominee: SC #205 | Proposed By: Oresland


The Security Council,

Noting that the purpose of SC #205 was to lift an unknown password applied to the region Dank Memes after a raid by HYDRA Command;

Saddened that the region was refounded by Captain Woodhouse and the natives have no ability to take control of the region;

Acknowledging that the region never had a password in place to lift and instead was refounded by the aforementioned nation;

Seeing that the purpose of this resolution was ineffective and there's no purpose in keeping a liberation in effect when there is no chance that the natives can regain their former region;

Wishing that future liberations are effective in combating occupation from raiders;

Hereby repeals SC #205, "Liberate Dank Memes".


The Security Council,

Wishing that future liberations are effective in combating occupation by raiders;

The password was passworded from the founder, not HYDRA Command.
This resolution should be repealed, but not like this. I'll help out

Actually, HYDRA did password it. Then it was liberated. Then the Nazis refounded it. Then they put a password on it.

HYDRA didn't refound Dank Memes. Woodhouse did.

I updated the language of the proposal to hopefully be more accurate.

Hydra never passworded DM.

We were planning on skipping the password and going straight for the refound anyways. I've instructed Shock Division 21 to approve the proposal.

'no purpose in keeping', but the correction doesn't make the sentence any less wordy.

If all you can conjure in the way of filler is a flaccid pie-in-the-sky afterthought, consider removing it.

In light of that, I may add that it never had a password to begin with.

I guess you're right, for a moment I forgot it had to go through the delegates first. They do like those types of lines.

Potential edits with some thoughts off the top of my head.


The Security Council,

Noting that the purpose of SC #205 was to lift an unknown password applied to the region Dank Memes after a raid by HYDRA Command; it had been invaded by hostile forces;
HYDRA COMMAND was very short lived and much of its (the invasion's) alumnus no longer associate with being a member of that group.

Saddened Realizing that the region was refounded by Captain Woodhouse another international actor and that the natives have no ability to take control of the region been denied reentry to the region; Lets not back-pat poor actors.

Acknowledging that the region never had a password in place to lift and instead was refounded by the aforementioned nation; I believe this part is redundant and doesn't need to be included.

Seeing that the purpose of this resolution was ineffective and there's no purpose in keeping a liberation in effect when there is no chance that the natives can regain their former region; This just needs to be reworded. The language is too harsh and it may dissuade members from voting for Liberations in the future.

Wishing that future liberations are effective in combating occupation from raiders;
Seeking to remove redundancies from the books of the World Assembly;

Hereby repeals SC #205, "Liberate Dank Memes".

It still was invaded by that region, even if the former members don't want to be associated with it.

I'm just stating facts, Capt. Woodhouse did refound it and the natives have no ability to regain their region. Don't know what's so bad about it.

I don't think it's harsh, it's being realistic. The resolution was ineffective and there's no purpose in keeping a useless resolution.

To respond to your "dissuade" line, that's why I added that line.

It would be nice to see this piece of law wiped off the books. Finally.

Unfortunately, I have doubt in this proposal.

Being the author of this proposal, the sooner this proposal is wiped off the books, the more likely I'll have a peaceful retirement from NationStates - having this resolution put to my name is, nowadays, simply embarrassing. I wish not to have a piece of my nativity stagnate and age into an resolution that no one wishes to repeal, for a piece of my infamous legacy would always be left behind...

Last I heard, your name was still Mud. This latest stunt is unlikely to result in a change to Rose, much less make my moldy skylight disappear.

Largely worthless. Style quibbling, a transparent attempt to spare a defunct raider org's fee fees, Latin misuse and a juvenile potshot—all delivered after the proposal was submitted.

A super popular Commended player digs my act so much that shortly after I made my first post in this thread, he asked me on Discord to do him a favor and post more on the forums. He said he missed my snark.

A couple weeks before the super popular Commended player asked me to post more on the forums, he said, “Woodhouse's writing style is my favorite on the NS forum.”

Theatre is subjective. Can’t please all the critics.
