[DRAFT] COMMEND EUROPE

[Drew Durrnil]

Commend Europe

The Security Council,

Noticing that Europe has the highest endorsement rate per nation,

Inspired by their diversity and their fierce gay pride,

Astonished by their vast amounts of world play,
_{Their "Europe Game" center has an uncountable amount of world play,
They have over 1000 WP posts per month,}

Looking at their number of nations, being the 6th largest user-created region,

Observing that they have been created in 2002, thus being one of the oldest regions on NationStates,

Surprised by their members' efforts to maintain their region,
_{They have countless laws and law polls,
They have an entire multi-page document full of their laws,}

Seeing that Europe is so well made,

Hereby Commends Europe.

Truly, a great resolution.

Can a nation in Europe commend Europe? Sounds corrupt. Also, this isn’t a well-done draft. Well-made? Explain how. 6th-largest? Why does that matter? TNP is the largest and not commended.
Made in 2002. Okay, but why does being old deserve commendation? Highest endorsement rate? Again, that’s not really commendable. Fierce gay pride? Basically every region shows that currently. Surprised at how members want to maintain it? Uhh, yeah, every region has people who want to maintain it..role playing? There’s lots more roleplaying in other regions. Against.

[Eritei]

Yeah, as much as I love being a European, there's just not enough here to get it through the WA

There's a few issues.

A. It's shallow. Although I don't read much of them, this is just 1 sentence per, which even tho it's happened before, proposals like this usually don't make it to voting
B. Yes, we are amazing, but the issue is all these points are already beaten by other regions. (all are answers in the same order as the points)
- Everyone is already doing pride
- Some regions are extremely active RP regions
- 5 regions are bigger than us
- As a player made region, we're not as old as others, and there are 100% older player made regions (or whatever they're called you get what I'm saying)
- Well, everyone does this
- This kinda doesn't make any sense. All regions are different, so we have a different style than, let's say, TSP, so there isn't much basis here.

The only thing we (sometimes) beat everyone in is endorsements, but that's not the most special thing in the world.


All in all, your heart is in the right place, however this just wouldn't get past the WA. I commend you for trying tho, it's good to see participation

Illegal for an R4 violation - can’t talk about roleplaying in a proposal.

[Praeceps]

Others have commented my thoughts.

I'd just thought I'd add that their laws and polls are not as nearly countless as you seem to think.

Talking about RP in your proposal is legal.

I've seen much worse. A nation once did a self-commendation because they existed. Another time, a nation tried to condemn itself for being terrible at writing SC proposals (that was it for the proposal).

Despite the existence of worse proposals, I don't see this passing, unless you add something that they did that was truly noble.

Illegal for an R4 violation - can’t talk about roleplaying in a proposal.

Talking about RP in your proposal is legal.

No it's not - not if you explicitly refer to it as "roleplaying."

Additionally, references to posts and forums are illegal.

I'm supportive of the idea of a commendation of Europe, but not by someone within the region, and preferably a far more well-written proposal, too. Not only is this proposal illegal, it's also just of poor quality.

No it’s not, you can’t use the words “roleplaying” or “roleplay” in a proposal. But tell you what, go and have a read of the rules and then show me where they say it’s legal.

I won’t hold my breath.

While I understand that Europe's allied with WALL and is one of the largest UCRs in NS, what grounds are there really for Europe to be commended by the WA? It's an isolationist region that almost never meddles in foreign affairs. It doesn't have the interregional clout that a commended region should have. I mean, I love Europe, one of my mains is there, but it comes down to it Europe really doesn't deserve a commendation.

A good case for Europe could be presented because of authorship. You’ve got a load of them, like IA, Outer Sparta, Kenmoria, IA, Galway-Dublin, Yahlia, IA etc

[Team Leo]

Commend Europe

The Security Council,

Noticing that Europe has the highest endorsement rate per nation,

What about the GCR's and other major UCR's

Inspired by their diversity and their fierce gay pride,

Well many other regions such as TBH have gay pride but I guess that having gay pride and showing it is a good thing

Astonished by their vast amounts of world play,
_{Their "Europe Game" center has an uncountable amount of world play,
They have over 1000 WP posts per month,}

Sorry but this part is not commendable. You can't simply commend someone because of the RMB

Looking at their number of nations, being the 6th largest user-created region,

Observing that they have been created in 2002, thus being one of the oldest regions on NationStates,

You can't commend someone just how old there region

Surprised by their members' efforts to maintain their region,
_{They have countless laws and law polls,
They have an entire multi-page document full of their laws,}

This part isn't commendable

Seeing that Europe is so well made,

True but again not commendable

I’m eyeing up Europe to move over there, but please don’t commend it for such frivolous things.

I echo this.

This is more like a joke proposal, tag it with [Joke].
Am sorry but this will never get anywhere near quorum

Yep that is right.

What the hell is wrong with you, jeez I am new to the forums and you keep acting nasty for no reason.

He's just pointing out the resolution with the R4 violation being a regular in the SC forums.

I know but he didnt have to be soo rude to me about it.

[Boda]

Europe is a nice region, and I would commend it. However, this proposal seems dull.
