OOC: This is my first attempt at dabbling in World Assembly affairs with a resolution so I appreciate all constructive criticism and feedback throughout this.

Second Draft.

The Security Council,

Flabbergasted at how the planetary-encapsulating nation of Valentine Z is governed by powerful mutant entities, known as “the Sixty Important Personnel” - all of which are comprehensively documented by the nation for the benefit of interested foreigners;

Relieved that, despite the fact that the Sixty Important Personnel are all easily capable of decimating normal human beings, those same personnel utilize their strengths in a much more benevolent manner for the governance of Valentine Z, as seen from the current World Census statistics in which the nation currently ranks:

  • Twenty-second in the world for inclusiveness, making Valentine Z’s citizens some of the most welcoming individuals to meet;

  • Forty-eighth in compassion, which surely plays a part in the low death rate Valentine Z currently possesses due to both the government and regular citizens making sure everyone overcomes their misfortunes within the country;

  • Sixtieth for possessing the nicest citizens, a remarkable statistic which promotes an overall pleasant atmosphere, therefore allowing Valentine Z to efficiently sustain itself without internal conflict amongst its workforce;

  • Sixty-eighth in pacifism, with this particular statistic further justifying that the Valentian government (in particular, the Sixty Important Personnel that comprises it) chooses to not utilize its formidable power for nefarious or violent purposes - whether it be within or beyond the realm of Valentine Z;
Interested in how, despite being actively tracked by the World Census for statistics, Valentine Z does the same in return, as seen from their creation “Trends, Correlations, Anti-Correlations, Oh My!”, an archive of graphs that deal with how possible statistics may affect other statistics when addressing international issues, along with being the active curator of a list of every single international issue documented so far - both repositories of information being completely open to public communities for their reference;

Applauding Valentine Z’s promotion of international goodwill - outside of World Census statistics - as exemplified by their following achievements:

  • Serving as Minister of Information - via their satellite state of Vostrov - in The Free Nations Region, a region that wishes to promote democracy and freedom wherever + whenever possible, and winning two Founder's Medals of Freedom for their contributions to the said region;

  • Spearheading the international documentation of the Valentian language, called “Valkyrie Språk”, which is a microcosm of many different languages in order to unite the cultures that speak those languages into one entity;

  • Joining with known sports-affiliated nation Atlantian Oceania in the 2020 World Assembly Secretary-General Elections, gaining an invaluable ally along the way - with potential allies of Atlantian Oceania also taking an interest to Valentine Z as a result;

  • Regularly publishing articles of non-hate for full public reading, most notably “Have a great and wonderful day to you all!” and “The Wonderful World”, with these two particular articles, in re-affirming readers of their place in life, likely facilitating the reduction of mental stress for individuals all throughout the international community;
Lauding Valentine Z's involvement within the international artwork community, which includes:

  • Creation of the first ever "Gold Retriever," a software application that enables nations to easily track cumulative art valuations and funds from multiple entities, an otherwise complicated and time consuming process;

  • Involvement in The North Pacific Cards Guild, an unprecedented artwork organization that promotes unity among collectors, where Valentine Z served as Deputy Guildmaster and played a critical role in the recognition of impressive collections via “The Monthly Card Collection Competition”;

  • Allowing the use of their own artwork in a record-setting, 12-day-long, collaborative auction featuring high profile art trading nations such as Destructive Government Economic System, Noahs Second Country, 9003, Recuecn, and more - this auction had such an impact that existing universal auction length restrictions were significantly overhauled to prevent infrastructural problems that arose;
Grateful for Valentine Z’s multiple, extensive contributions, every single one being of an inspirational, motivational, or helpful and informative nature and generally spread a wholesome and morale-boosting message throughout the international community, promulgating ceaseless positivity to all nations in the name of peace and well-being;

Hereby commends Valentine Z.

I gave Chuck some advice on Discord that I'm transcribing below for posterity's sake.

  • Italicization of the first word of each clause looks bad IMO, though that's purely personal preference.
  • "Bank" is an illegal term - though it is somewhat ambiguous as to whether or not merely referencing the word "bank" in the sense of cards is illegal, I recommended he change it to "purchasing power" or similar.
  • Make sure to update the specific statistics before submission
  • Mentioning the influx of nations following Drew Durnil's arrival is dubious at best.
  • Looking into Val Z's Factbooks, it looks like their language, Valkyrie Språk, is a conlang composed of a variety of real-world languages. While not any less impressive, and without going super in-depth to Val Z's factbooks to learn about how the language came around canonically, I suggested that the clause be changed to the following:

    The international documentation of the Valentian language, called Valkyrie Språk, which [IC context blah blah blah],

    This leans more away fro "the creation of..." which implicates Val as a player as opposed to a nation, and should also allow for a more specific (while hopefully still concise) detail of the conlang - because, like, holy shit - that is impressive as hell.
  • Saying "these articles reduce suicide rates" seems like a super big leap in language - perhaps a brief mention of the intention to reduce mental illness through positive reaffirmations would be better suited.
  • No need to put the abbreviation TMCCC if you never use it again.
  • I'd change "the multiple - and extensive - contributions by Valentine Z" to "the multiple, extensive contributions by Valentine Z"
  • Were you running into the character limit? I see no other reason to use "+" instead of "and" in the space regarding "help + informative nature..."
  • Also, you constantly switch between commas, semicolons, and periods to end clauses - stay consistent.

Overall, a very good draft to a very deserving candidate! Best of luck to the authors, co-authors, and target!

Some moar wording suggestions:
"henceforth titled" ---> "known"
"two “Founder’s Medal of Freedom” awards" ---> "two Founder's Medals of Freedom"
"a twelve-day auction, a collaborative auction started by..." ---> "a collaborative twelve-day auction started by..."

At least somewhat better than the original - and I even supported that.

Yup, we at NS Sports would support this commendation as well. ValZ has been the bridge between F7 and NSS.

I think it would be good if you mentioned Val's work in maintaining the list of issues thread.

Val supports some questionable people, which is the only thing preventing me from giving full support. I won't mention who or how many unless they TG me.

A few things. Some of these echo other suggestions, but some are new.

  • I wouldn't recommend mentioning Drew. It's literally impossible to create a new nation approaching top 1,000 in any of the stats you're mentioning Valentine Z as ranking highly in. Most players actually gained badges from the Drew wave, so it doesn't work well as a supporting argument to say that the Drew wave made it harder to get badges.
  • I'm flattered to be referenced, but my software was developed separately and simultaneously (I just released it after Valentine released his) and is used by no-one (that I know of) except me, so it's not really related to the original Gold Retriever script and probably doesn't deserve a mention. Frankly, I don't think mentioning "expansions" to a script makes it sound less commendable, because it just means someone else did the same thing better (or in the case of my script, did the same thing in a different language).
  • Saying that "Ballotonia did something" is very dangerously close to a rules violation (not sure which one). It feels somewhat meta-gamey to say that a nation did something like that, as well as mentioning direct Admin action. Maybe "auction being so impactful that the international auction service was forced to limit extensions to prevent breakdowns" instead.
  • Valentine Z has now been the custodian of the Issues Spoiler Megathread for some time now (since April in fact), so it might be worth giving that a mention as well.
  • Finally, I agree totally with Morover about the "reducing suicide rates" bit - as written it seems very distasteful.

And finally noting that Valentine Z, in an entirely different endeavor relating to their interests, introduced several groundbreaking endeavors to the international artwork community, with several examples being:

There's a bit of repetition here, such as 'endeavor' and 'several'. Stating that it is different from the rest of their activities also doesn't seem necessary considering Valentine Z has been involved in a pretty diverse set of communities within NS.

The on-going project coined as “The Gold Retriever”, a tracking software that highlights each inputted nation’s bank and value of their international artwork, with that software later being expanded on by other notable traders such as Racoda and SherpDaWerp;

Bank seems a bit odd from an IC standpoint, though describing the tool without breaking rule 4 is quite difficult.

Involvement within The North Pacific Cards Guild, a revolutionary organization dedicated to artwork promotion, and which Valentine Z once served as a Deputy Guildmaster in order to provide feedback on artwork events such as “The Monthly Card Collection Competition (TMCCC)”;

As stated above, abbreviating as (TMCCC) is relatively pointless considering you only use the term once.
Allowing their own artwork to be utilized in - with a literal sense to be added - a twelve-day auction, a collaborative auction started by Destructive Government Economic System and expanded upon by traders 9003, Inven, Noahs Second Country, Recuecn, and more - with the said auction being so impactful that Ballotonia was forced to limit auction extensions to prevent internal breakdowns relating to international artwork trading;

Rather than stating Ballotonia specifically changing the auction timer mechanics, you can simply say that international change resulted from the auction - it seems kind of odd and nearly illegal to mention the admin that made the change by name.

I'm not great at providing commentary so I went ahead and rewrote the clause using the same points you do here - this is how I would phrase the following accomplishments.
Lauding Valentine Z's involvement within the international artwork community, which includes:
  • Creation of the first ever "Gold Retriever," a software application that enables nations to easily track cumulative art valuations and funds from multiple entities, an otherwise complicated and time consuming process,
  • Involvement in The North Pacific Cards Guild, an unprecedented artwork organization that promotes unity among collectors, where Valentine Z served as Deputy Guildmaster and played a critical role in the recognition of impressive collections via The Monthly Card Collection Competition,
  • Allowing the use of their own artwork in a record-setting, 12-day-long, collaborative auction featuring high profile art trading nations such as Destructive Government Economic System, Noahs Second Country, 9003, Recuecn, and more - this auction had such an impact that existing universal auction length restrictions were significantly overhauled to prevent technical problems that arose,

I also agree with a good number of the proposed changes from other users above me, especially in regards to managing the Issues thread, which is quite a feat in itself.

Full support!

The only questionable person right now is you, seeing that you were founded merely a few months ago yet you seem to know more than that of an average newer player.

In addition:

Seeing that you are unwilling to prove your claims to the rest of the public, your current credibility stands at an absolute zero, with further suspicions of you being an alt account of another - possibly unsavory - player being raised to an exponential degree.

If your intent was to stir up drama, then at least try harder.

Support for repugnant ideologies must not be kept behind closed doors. If the nominee is a supporter of fascism, please state so publicly. If not, state that clearly as well. Do not be ambiguous.

I can say without a doubt that both Valentine Z's in character persona and out of character view points are about as far opposite from authoritarian conservative as one can get.

Val's not a fascist. Far from it. He's a nice guy that has very diverse friends and does not discriminate against anyone for stuff like ethnic background or sexuality or whatever.

Not much to comment on, it's a great proposal for a deserving nominee.

There seems to be more of the focus on gameplay, stats, and cards, as opposed to roleplay, and Val has hosted several RPs and been a major participant in others. I think that this focus on gameplay and such might actually strengthen the resolution for some voters, though.

Actually, to my knowledge, Val is a cis male. I could be wrong though.
