[Discussion] SC Nominees

[Escade]

Whenever I see a Commend or Condemn I often think, "Why hasn't X been commended (or condemned) yet?" I'd like to start a discussion about players who should be commended or condemned that have not really been mentioned in the storied halls of the SC.

In addition, in the spirit of teamwork this may also be a place to find players willing to help you in developing SC proposals through research and\or writing assistance.

To set some loose guidelines:
1. Suggest players you believe should be nominated for their remarkable contributions to NSGP and provide some details (a couple of sentences or more) on why they are good nominees.
2. No self-nominations please.
3. Players should have been in NS for at least 3 years. This is a loose guideline but the goal is to really discuss those players who have been overlooked over the years.
4. This is not a discussion about why someone shouldn't be nominated or whatever personal drama so chill vibes, lovelies. If you don't agree move on and wait for it to become a actual proposal to get those retractable claws out.

To see who has been commended or condemned already please check the list here.

My suggested players include:

Keeping OP neutral, so see later post.

And because I don't believe in life without flavor:

It's okay to have another thread about this.

I would recommend that in general it is ideal for OPs to have significant substance before posting. Like when writing a draft, it gives others something to bounce ideas off of.

[United Massachusetts]

That Christian Democrats and Auralia are not yet commended is a bit mind-boggling. Just goes to show how bias the SC is.

EDIT: I'm writing a draft for Auralia now.

I don't think it's got to do with "SC bias".

Auralia hasn't been commended because some nations are still (rightly or wrongly, I'm not making a determination on that front) annoyed at him for trying to self-commend back in 2014 or whatever it was. It was seen as very duplicitous and, given the SC is predominately (again, rightly or wrongly) concerned with Gameplay, you have to remember that Gameplay memories are annoyingly long.

As for Christian Democrats, you have to also consider that CD has a reputation in Gameplay outside of that in the General Assembly through his positions in Catholic, Right to Life, and also in TRR. Additionally, although I have no doubt they are his sincerely held beliefs, CD has made some comments about homosexuality and/or same-sex marriage in an OOC position in Gameplay throughout his history that have annoyed many nations and regions.

So to paint it as simply SC bias shows a bit of naivety surrounding the body and the history of the players you're discussing.

Fair enough on Auralia. It's a stupid grudge, though, especially for the second or third most successful author in GA history who literally built the scripts raiders today continue to use.

As for CD, there's that bias creeping in again. People don't like Catholic and they don't like RtL. If a liberal with CD-level accomplishments (in the GA, regionbuilding, FRA, and TRR) were the subject, they'd be commended in a heartbeat. Though we both may disagree with some of the things he has to say, the guy is certainly accomplished. Heaven forbid he be Catholic! Pro-life! Oh, no!

[Escade]

I have four proposals in mind. I've begun drafting them, in part, and if you'd like to co-author or help support through research\reviewing the first draft let me know! This part makes me feel a little nervous so waiting until I have a really solid draft before posting here because nerves!

Proposals for:
Xoriet
Cormac
TBD
Tim

[New Ex Patria]

I know it's been proposed a few times now, but I still strongly feel as though Lenlyvit is worthy of a commendation. He's responsible for authoring several Security Resolutions, despite some of them being on the more controversial side. Liberate The Monarchist Entente was a necessary and honourable proposal which stopped the likes of the USSD, TI and TRE from capturing the region, and the soon-to-pass Liberate Boston will serve the same purpose.

I haven't even touched on the number of liberations he's participated in with TITO, he's been a committed defender for several years. He's also responsible for the creation of the 'Resign' button for ROs on the administration page.

Look into this: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=442996

I attempted to author this a while ago, and based on some on the recommendation of GP pundits, I have withdrawn it at the moment. I do have permanent dibs on it though

I did see, yes. I was under the impression you'd scrapped it as nothing more was said.

The real question for Cormac is whether a commendation or condemnation serves better. He deserves some sort of SC recognition, though

Given the small shard of his NS reputation I have seen, both is probably a good idea. I think there is enough material to make the work distinct.

There should be the passive-aggressive commendation resolution for cases like this

KNOWING that Cormactopia Prime is not very well liked by many;
SURPRISED how the natio got so many other nations to dislike them;

Jk, all in good sport I hope. But he does have some pretty commendable achievements.

That's my own struggle lol. Is it a commend or condemn, but he deserves one.

[Tim-Opolis]

I would say Cormac would ultimately spin more in a commend direction than a condemn direction, when all the cards were laid out and you looked at what you can spin as good and bad.

[Lord Dominator]

I agree that Commending Cormac would be better
