[PASSED] Repeal: "Condemn This Game"

[Morover]

The World Assembly Security Council,

Noting the passage of SCR#299, "Condemn This Game" and aware of the satirical nature of such a resolution,

Believing that such satirical shenanigans are unbelievably unsuited for this most enlightened and suave council, and such wisecracks such as the target resolution, written in regards to "humor" are better fitted for the partner chamber of the Security Council, in the uncouth proceedings of the General Assembly,

Knowing that, regardless of any intentions of the author to bring "good-will," "joy," or "humor" into this Council of Security, such intent is horribly misplaced and should be eradicated as soon as humanly possible,

Wishing to banish all traces of witticism from these Hallowed Halls,

And utterly disgusted that this attempt to brighten the days of those delegations who stay, solicit, or otherwise occupy the Consecrated Corridors has ended up being a drastic waste of time to those aforementioned delegations,

Hereby repeals the most dreaded Security Council Resolution of all time, of the ID #299, and of the title "Condemn This Game."

This has been submitted.

And utterly disgusted at the attempt to bring such joy into the drab and dreary affairs of our sophisticated Security Council, thus wasting the time of the many delegations who stay, solicit, or otherwise occupy the facilities, as well as drawing an awful taint on the actual image and reputation of them,

Hereby repealed the most dreaded Security Council Resolution of all time, of the ID #299, and of the title "Condemn This Game."

Certainly tongue-in-cheek enough to provide a fitting repeal of the target resolution. Looks legal and has better spelling and grammar than all of the currently submitted repeals.

[Kuriko]

Clauses 3 and 5 seem too similar in my opinion, but other than that it reads well. I agree with BBD.

[Warzone Codger]

The target resolution would be against the rules in the GA, because you can not use the GA to condemn a region.

Saying it would be better there is advocating a rule breaking action.

I might be over reading though, since the intention is just to say the language of this sort is better suited to the GA.

[Lord Dominator]

Support, if anything has to repeal it, this one looks great for it.

I appreciate it, y'all.

The intention was basically to say "The SC is a very serious organization and the GA is the place for jokes" - not a serious comment, but it's something that I felt should be included. I'll try and clarify that, though.

Thanks for letting me know, sometimes it's hard to tell when reading my own writing (it's one of my bigger weaknesses when it comes to writing), but I'll work on it and see if it gets better.

I'll edit this post when the edits are made.
EDIT: Edits have been made

[Francois Isidore]

Support. I’m very glad to say that so far this is the best repeal proposal out there for the target resolution.

Much better, much better! Support

Thanks for the support!

-snip-

Glad it's better now! Thanks for the feedback and support!

[Makdon]

This is definitely the most well-written and in spirit repeal of those being drafted or submitted.

Support!

[-Astoria-]

Support this, I will.

[Yokiria]

Might as well repeal it. We don't need a resolution to know this game is already condemned.

[-Astoria-]

Supported [again].

[Commonwealth of Baker Park]

I see that this works a lot like the regional government of a place I left.

I'm sure that the opinion that people have about the overall content is well founded...
but I take a certain degree of offense that it is the "most well-written". My draft is better written than nearly every SC proposal that has been offered up in the last 12 months, including the target resolution.
There are no grammatical or spelling errors in my draft, and I certainly find the rationale for why it is "illegal" quite vague. The rules for proposals are so incredibly oblique, presumably to discourage submissions.

I'm coming to the conclusion that it probably has as much to do with the fact that I'm not in the club, nor did I come here to kibbutz about the topic. So I have a higher bar to clear, and that's fine.

No.

Rules are rules and all SC authors have to abide by it. Standards can't be and shouldn't be lowered just so that there will be more submissions. And there is no club. I have never authored anything in SC before but I am sure that if I write a proposal of quality, abiding by all the rules and if required do some campaigning, I will at least be able to get it into voting. And yes, posting a thread here prior to submitting the proposal and asking others for suggestions would have helped you because the more experienced SC authors would have pointed out the illegalities.

The reason for its illegality is clearly documented in the SC Compendium. The rules are deliberately simple, and myself and the other SC moderators have put a significant amount of effort into documenting rulings so they are accessible to everyone, with the intent of encouraging submissions.

That's not the case. Withdraw your proposal, post a thread for it in this forum and request a ruling on your citing of illegalities, and we can provide one. That's the same for anyone else who'd submitted that proposal.

[Sancta Romana Ecclesia]

Hey!

GA is not uncouth :/

[Morover]

Hey there!

This is still scheduled to be submitted in about two days, but I was thinking of changing the opening line from

Hereby repealed the most dreaded Security Council Resolution of all time, of the ID #299, and of the title "Condemn This Game."

to

Hereby, on this esteemed and greatly-awaited three hundredth resolution to this chamber, repeals the most dreaded Security Council Resolution of all time, of the ID #299, and of the title "Condemn This Game."

Thoughts?

[Fauxia]

Makes grammatical sense, unlike the original which used wrong tenses

[Morover]

Yes The grammatical error will be solved either way, I was more curious as to whether or not it would be appropriate to point out that it'd be the three-hundredth SCR on the books.

I'm slightly leaning against it, now, so I probably won't add it in, but it was an interesting thought.

This will be submitted in approximately 27 hours.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Unfortunately you can’t guarantee that your proposal will be #300. I mean look at the quality proposals already trying to get to quorum.....

[Numero Capitan]

No comment

But yeah, given that Agalaesia is intending to submit Commend Kuriko today you might want to be cautious about that

I kinda agree with this assertion. The GA has a lot of jokes in it. *subtle shade towards the GA*

But then again, the SC is basically a popularity contest anyway. Do we really need to keep up this act of seriousness? Then again, the joke has served its purpose.

[Morover]

This will be submitted in about an hour, if anyone has last-minute comments.
