[PASSED] Commend Knootoss

Commend Knootoss
It's about time.



The Security Council,

Happy to read resolutions in compliance with Read the Resolution Act, authored under the aegis of the ever-active World Assembly delegation from Knootoss,

Drawing forth from the darkest corners of memory, their contributions, shared and otherwise, to international law:

  1. Read the Resolution Act, promoting engagement between members and the grand organs of the Assembly as a whole and ensuring the employment and self-importance of those many delegates and representatives camping around the Assembly,

  2. Reducing Problem Gambling, ensuring treatment for the problems of gambling addiction and its undeniably real effects on families,

  3. Permit Male Circumcision, guaranteeing freedom of religion and employment for purveyors of scissors the world over,

  4. Recognising Achievements Act, preventing the imposition of non-tariff barriers to human capital transfers and promoting international culture and education,

  5. Extradition Rights, protecting the accused from unscrupulous governments attempting bribes or offers of significant reward for the return of certain persons, and

  6. Right to Petition, ensuring the right to petition, a necessary and central right to the exercise of political rights the world over, and bringing to the fore those difficult questions that lie at the centre of any real and important political debate,
Raptured in awe of their cooperative efforts with other authors to enact much-necessary legislation and willingness to share the glories at the centre of the world stage, a humility that seems too often absent from the modern General Assembly,

Astonished at their delegation's remarkable intellectual consistency, standing up for self-governance, political freedom, and economic liberty, against the forces of corruption, greed, and thievery,

Applauding their delegation's intellectual achievements, such as introducing to those important international forums, an essay presaging the culmination of the years-long international federalist-national sovereigntist divide, and

Puzzled at why this august Assembly has not yet commended one of its most accomplished members, long the seventh most ancient purveyor of eggnog in times of cheer and bulwark against the ravages of time, hereby

Commends Knootoss.

I'm not a fan of statistical reasons. Simply put, even for the most highly ranked statistic (here, 12th place), we would have to commend some 11 other people for having great economies.

Opposed due to the inclusion of Permit Male Circumcision, otherwise support.

Re: [DRAFT] Commend Knootoss

Postby Yohannes » Sun Jan 21, 2018 7:06 pm

Hearing (and seeing firsthand) Knootoss' achievements over the years I would welcome seeing a commendation for Knootoss. I don't know whether this is relevant or not (or whether this would be of any assistance/help) Imperium Anglorum, but Knootoss has substantial roleplaying achievements (outside the General Assembly, more specifically in the NationStates and International Incidents sub forums) as well over the years (that was how I did first met him and got to know him). Either way, looking forward to voting AYE for this!

Edit: Unfortunately the links or reference to many of his pre-2009 (RPing) works are not there anymore (they were gone together with his old article in Goobergrunchia's old NSWiki, I think). However if one browse the archive of the old Jolt forums they should be able to find old works from Knootoss there. Knootoss did RP again quite heavily in 2011 and 2013 (going by memory), so his newer RPing records should be there somewhere in the NationStates and International Incidents sub forums

I'm aware of his RP work, but many people don't seem to think that RP is all that important and generally diss it as meaningless. That's why I primarily focus on the concrete and quantifiable accomplishments which I've listed above.

Yup, I can see that angle (I am no stranger to how SC has historically viewed RP based commendations/condemnations, which is understandable as Gameplay, realistically, has been and will always be more important; whilst General Assembly stuff are actually recorded in-game so they are more legit).

Imperium Anglorum wrote:That's why I primarily focus on the concrete and quantifiable accomplishments which I've listed above.


It's just a shame that years of Knootoss' achievements (from the RPing side of NationStates) will not be included there, that's all. But at the end of the day a Commend Knootoss will actually happen, and that is a good thing!

I think that a mention of Knootoss' RP history without focussing on it too much should be fine.
