But now Honeydewistania has most graciously provided me with an example of the arguments used in favour of the repeal, I'm still not convinced. SC#52, as important to NS history as it may be, cannot sustain itself based on sentimentality alone.

I think you might not have read what was in there, but it’s basically because the new one is a sequel, not a replacement. It wasn’t intended to be a replacement, the author and co author made that clear.

OOC: I read that exact line, actually, where the original author of SC#217 mentioned it being a "sequel, not a remake".

But I'll just apply what I said previously:
South Reinkalistan wrote:OOC: Intent =/= reality. It replaces it in essence, really. Until you can provide me a valid point from the original resolution that is either no longer relevant or covered by the second condemnation, I will continue to see no need for SC#52 to remain.

If you had bothered to read the thread Honeydewistania had provided the link to, you would have seen plenty of reasons why SC52 should be retained.

OOC: Why, I find claiming I haven't read that thread is a ridiculous notion! Of course I read the thread. I'm a lot of things, but I'm not lazy! (okay, I am, but I still read it regardless :p)

Also, yes I do know best. Glad you've finally realised that! ;)

But I see nothing on that thread that justifies SC#52 remaining.

If neither Jakker’s or Cormac’s Long justifications can convince you, then I don’t think anything can. Good luck if it even makes it to the floor, which even with CCD cash has a chance of not happening

10 months and 3 SC forum drafts is more than enough time to realize that Security Council resolutions require research.

OOC: Well... I was inactive for the first three or four of those ten months, and I've only really started those SC forum drafts over the past two months... also, little-known fact (that you never needed to know), I've actually written 4 SC proposals :/ I tried a really noobish Condemnation of Consular once. So if any of you find my proposals badly-written, know that it used to be so, SO much worse.

But as I was saying - having read up and researched once, I still stand by my resolution.

Sure, you might be improving, but way too slow. You need to realize that this stuff takes work; assuming otherwise is insulting to the SC and will result in failure. Additionally, pushing out every single person who tries to help you isn't doing you any good. It doesn't matter whether they're "biased against you cause CCD", you need people to like you if you want anything you write to pass.

At this point, many people have given up on you. That's why you're not getting much feedback. I recommend you take a few months off of the SC- or even NS, if you can. Maybe even create a new nation. I used to be in your position, and it worked for me.

OOC: Well, I'll admit it. This proposal was badge-hunting. I didn't research it, and I ended up digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole because of that. I'll take your advice on the chin. I do need a break, I guess. Afterwards, eh. I'm just gonna huddle in my little corner of NS and not venture outside. It's nicer in here than dealing with inter-regional drama. See ya.
