Even if it somehow made it to vote, it wouldn't pass, so thanks for free publicity I guess. Also,
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I don't really know how this is relevant to Repeal: Condemn The Black Hawks.
Again, there's no "list" of WA Elite members. You don't get a card, I think I've answered this many times.

CCD used to have a reasonable proposal writer in South Reinkalistan before he left them. Now I’m no fan of his, but he did put the effort into his drafts, did a bit of research etc. Maybe Shrew should apply to SR for lessons; it might help him realise that snide is no substitute for quality.
The Black Hawks ranks 19th for most nations
722nd for most valuable artwork
1,115th for most World Assembly endorsements,
Determining that these statistics, placing The Black Hawks in the top 2% of all regions, are worthy of nothing but admiration by the international community, and set an example for all states to follow;

Plus TBH has earned their condemnations. Something CCD isn't use to doing; earning things.

This is the thesis of this resolution - Since my point in the other thread is just as valid for this one, I'll bring it up here too.Aurum Raider wrote:TBH has raided hundreds of regions. Your core - and only - argument is something that anybody remotely versed in R/D can categorically refute.
For anybody to even consider this bill, you will first have to explain how Asia is not a raid, and I don't think you can give a convincing argument for that.

you'd be trying everything to stop the liberation, quorum raiding if you couldn't stop it otherwise

Region destruction is an end-game of raiding. The region is secure, defenders cannot overcome the Pile™
The fact of the matter is that going for a refound is extremely inefficient influence-wise, and TBH would quickly run out of things to raid if every region was refounded and passworded.
And what would refounding it prove that capturing it, and successfully keeping defenders from liberating it doesn't already prove?

Putting aside the fact that quorum raiding is only worth it when you plan on sticking around, that argument only works if you are going to argue that regional destruction is what makes a raid a raid. Which is not something I intend on arguing.
Sitting around in a region for a month for the chance of making another boring, dead, and uninteresting password region is not worth the time it takes to 'make a point.'

Opposed to this. TBH deserves both their condemnations. They're really good at what they do.
One of the most notorious raider regions that's for sure. And they weren't busted in the DEN/Cimmeria scandal since they didn't use illegal scripts to facilitate such raids.

Wellll, a number of people implicated in the Predator bannings were members of TBH, either during the time of the bans or the time of their usage of Predator. Notably, Kleomentia, who was at the time a member of the Council of Hawks, was a prolific enough user to be hit with a 9-month WA ban.
What can be said about TBH in regards to Predator is the Council's handling of it; instituting a script policy and making whatever changes were necessary to prevent another incident from affecting the organisation.
