[DRAFT] Commend Equinox

Postby Tyrehennia » Fri Jul 06, 2018 1:35 pm

The below post is the current iteration of this resolution. See the spoilers below for less up-to-date versions.

The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING the region of Equinox's present efforts to sustain membership, and knowledgeable that the region has been in a state of membership decay for some time and that an ex post facto commendation is unusual,

RECOGNIZES Equinox's contributions in carving a unique and indelible cultural and social landscape since its inception more than a decade ago through its following accomplishments:

By championing a pioneering spirit of inclusivity and social engagement through the use and maintenance of multiple social media platforms to facilitate discussion and inclusion by welcoming every new nation and actively encouraging nations to participate in a variety of governmental, cultural, and diplomatic roles,

By forming a well-organized bureaucracy able to carry out its duties of delegacy and cultural improvement ably, transparently, and without neglect, among which were the establishment of interregional embassies and personal emissaries to each region, the organization and publicizing of Equinox's famous festivities, and the facilitation of a variety of international relations simulations,

By promoting a stable central dogma of humor, intimacy, and festivity through communications platforms allowing any nation to directly speak with important regional figures and by creating close international bonds through the use of social media for polls, games, raids, and other community-building exercise despite multiple changes to leadership and membership through its long history,

By promoting citizen engagement in government with trademark originality through the formation of a Guild Confederacy system run by and open to all nations based on their national interests and the formation of a unique Judicial Court system, deliberately allowing regional leadership and government to be open and easy to partake in for all nations,

By pioneering the development of successful and regionally influential Guilds such as Axiom, a defender military guild, Mafia, a raiding and role-playing guild, Lords, and Jethnea, a culturally oriented guild, all of which were vital to the region as hubs of incredible cultural and political significance,

By supporting the growth and development of citizen leaders throughout the region and the world, including during the formation and reformations of the regional Constitution, during the transitions between Senatorial, Guild-based, and Cabinetorial regional governments, and through its frequent regional referendums and elections,

By steadfastly renewing and reviving the region after periods of inactivity and adapting to new forms of government and regional structure without duress under numerous changes of leadership,

And by promoting cultural participation and celebrating creativity through organizing impressive amounts of regional and interregional gatherings and themed social events held with the sole purpose of building a friendly, close-knit, and truly open community beyond that which was possible without the region's existence, including but not limited to the such past events as Equinox Zombie Fest, Harry Potter Extravaganza, Olympics, the Equinox Awards,

UNDERSTANDS that commendation and recognition of Equinox's extraordinary social and cultural landscape would serve to grow its aspirations in its present state of humble redevelopment and to help the region continue its tradition of inclusion and communal bonds necessary for and supportive of a new nation's growth and future development in the wider world,

MAINTAINS that the region's total body of accomplishments throughout its past are worthy of recognition in the present for posterity and preservation of its continuing history,

and HEREBY COMMENDS the region of Equinox.

The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING the region of Equinox's present efforts to sustain membership, and knowledgeable that the region has been in a state of membership decay for some time and that an ex post facto commendation is unusual,

Well, first off I wish to welcome you to the SC! I do see some rules violations right from the start, mainly where you mention "online forums" as that's illegal under Rule 4(c). It would be nice if you could also add the accomplishments you hint at, to better fill out your proposal.

Also as a note: In future versions, I'd like to make a mention of the following:

-Revival of the region from inactivity at least twice
-Global pacifism and active interregional diplomacy involving interregional updates/telegrams
-Sheer amount of time/talent spent on senate resolutions and maintaining an effective and very well-structured bureaucracy
-Spewing out nations that have now gone on to creating powerful regions of their own with similar founding ideals and organization

The Security Council is a big place. Does this have any chance at being passed? Backstory for this is that I used to be a Somewhat Important Person in the region for a while, and I'd love to see it recognized. Equinox kind of has a reputation for being a party region. It's quite tiny right now but at its peak about a year and a half ago had over 1000 members. I'm sure some of you may recognize it.

The Axiom Guild hosted it's own successful defender military called the Crusaders of Justice. Axiom was heavily involved in regional politics.

The Mafia Guild hosted it's own successful raider military called The Mafia. Was involved in roleplaying.

Lords Guild was a politically focused guild that contended strongly with Axiom.

Jethnea Guild was super cultural guild that was once a seperate region and one of the founding regions of the FRA.


Those are just four examples of Guilds. You can ask Asy for more info if you want to expand on guilds.

Who was that? I know a lot of already established players joined Equinox, some of us are still kicking but not sure about the powerful regions.

If this was proposed when Equinox was in it's prime it would have been an easy win, now I fear it's too late.

Glad for the support! I’m traveling in Germany right now and the schedule is hectic, so I won’t have much time to edit this WA draft (Also not inactive in case anyone was wondering). That being said, if anyone wants to get involved this can become a community project instead of just me and i feel that’s would be faster. I’ll ask what remains of equinox in the discord to see if they want to contribute.

I was a citizen of Equinox at some point. It was a great region and a big influence on other regions at the time. It used to host international games and was a developing ground for many great, long-standing players. I'd support.

Full support. Equinox is definitely a commendable region. Wish I had gone there in 2014 and been part of Asy's Mafia, instead of joining TBR.

NEW DRAFT (minor edits): After a period of inactivity, I made some edits and hopefully, this will get released soon. The SC is a hard beast to tame, though, so I'll probably be hesitant to unveil this to the world until I can be sure of good support.

The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING the region of Equinox's present efforts to sustain membership, and knowledgeable that the region has been in a state of membership decay for some time and that an ex post facto commendation is unusual,

RECOGNIZES Equinox's contributions in carving a unique and indelible cultural and social landscape since its inception more than a decade ago through its following accomplishments:

By CHAMPIONING a pioneering spirit of inclusivity and social engagement through the use and maintenance of multiple social media platforms to facilitate discussion and inclusion by welcoming every new nation and actively encouraging nations to participate in a variety of governmental, cultural, and diplomatic roles,

By ORGANIZING a well-organized bureaucracy able to carry out its duties of delegacy and cultural improvement ably, transparently, and without neglect, among which were the establishment of interregional embassies and personal emissaries to each region, the organization and publicizing of Equinox's famous festivities, and the facilitation of a variety of international relations simulations,

By PROMOTING a stable central dogma of humor, intimacy, and festivity through communications platforms allowing any nation to directly speak with important regional figures and by creating close international bonds through the use of social media for polls, games, raids, and other community-building exercise despite multiple changes to leadership and membership through its long history,

By PROMOTING citizen engagement in government with trademark originality through the formation of a Guild Confederacy system run by and open to all nations based on their national interests and the formation of a unique Judicial Court system, deliberately allowing regional leadership and government to be open and easy to partake in for all nations,

By PIONEERING the development of successful and regionally influential Guilds such as Axiom, a defender military guild, Mafia, a raiding and role-playing guild, Lords, and Jethnea, a culturally oriented guild, all of which were vital to the region as hubs of incredible cultural and political significance,

By SUPPORTING the growth and development of citizen leaders throughout the region and the world, including during the formation and reformations of the regional Constitution, during the transitions between Senatorial, Guild-based, and Cabinetorial regional governments, and through its frequent regional referendums and elections,

By steadfastly RENEWING and reviving the region after periods of inactivity and adapting to new forms of government and regional structure without duress under numerous changes of leadership,

And by PROMOTING cultural participation and celebrating creativity through organizing impressive amounts of regional and interregional gatherings and themed social events held with the sole purpose of building a friendly, close-knit, and truly open community beyond that which was possible without the region's existence, including but not limited to the such past events as Equinox Zombie Fest, Harry Potter Extravaganza, Olympics, the Equinox Awards,

UNDERSTANDS that commendation and recognition of Equinox's extraordinary social and cultural landscape would serve to grow its aspirations in its present state of humble redevelopment and to help the region continue its tradition of inclusion and communal bonds necessary for and supportive of a new nation's growth and future development in the wider world,

MAINTAINS that the region's total body of accomplishments throughout its past are worthy of recognition in the present for posterity and preservation of its continuing history,

and HEREBY COMMENDS the region of Equinox.

I worked with Mafia and Asylum a few times when I was in LWU. They were a lot of fun to work with. At the time, Equinox was active and they seemed like their region was really enjoying themselves and spreading fun. I'm in favor of recognizing that.

Is there a legitimate reason for that opinion, or is that just a personal grudge you bear?
