[Draft] Commend Christmas

Postby Grater Tovakia » Wed Nov 14, 2018 6:43 pm

The Security Council,

NOTING that the holiday of Christmas is not celebrated by all;

APPRECIATIVE of those who do not celebrate but still spread Christmas cheer;

APPLAUDING the work done by the region of Christmas to spread this cheer around Nation States;

WANTING to commend this region for its efforts

HEREBY commends Christmas

Am I the only one thinking this would be so cool if it were written as a christmas carol or something, like The 12 Days of Christmas? :p

I'm not sure christmas has done enough yet to warrant a commendation. I am sure that regardless this proposal is not the commendation they deserve. At the very least you should take the time to tell us specifically what they've done.

Yes, but not that one.
A good one.

I don't think the region Christmas is worthy of any commendation yet, specifically because they haven't done anything noteworthy.

Haiku's commendation was written as a Haiku so a Christmas carol commendation for Christmas isn't completely out of the question. :lol:

Agreed. As long as you don’t violate the Four Sacred Rules, it can be done.

Though a Christmas resident and officer, I do not think that we deserve a commendation. Sure, we spread joy and sprouts, but that isn't enough to warrant a commendation. We're only really active the last two months of a year. This'll probably only pass if you put more emphasis on the joy. Maybe you can get ideas for other points for your resolution here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1037414

Seriously? You think handing out sprouts isn't Commendation worthy just by itself? Shame on you!

Sprouts?
Did you really mean to say 'Commendation', as you did there, rather than 'Condemnation'?

Agreed.

Oh here they come, a-standing out among the regions neat!
Oh here they come a-spreading mirth even to R and D,
Love and joy to NS! Christmas makes us feel bless'd!
And they light Gameplay, sending us a ha-appy new year,
And they send us a ha-appy new year!

I'm getting slow now. I like the idea but I don't think there is enough evidence yet to warrant a commendation. Maybe after this Christmas?
Merry Christmas!

This is how I'd write a commendation for Christmas.
Dashing through the snow
In a founderless open sleigh
Spreading cheer on the go
Laughing all the way
Despite the constant raiding
They make the world's spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A commendation carol tonight

Commend them, commend them
Commend them straightaway
They deserve it for spreading cheer
In Christmas and beyond, hey!
Commend them, commend them
Commend them straightaway
For their endless spread of sprouts
To the international community

Commend them, commend them
Commend them straightaway
For surviving despite raids
That require liberation, hey!
Commend them, commend them
Commend them now because
Of their holly jolly christmas spirit
Therefore the WA commends Christmas!
