I don't think waiting longer will do much.

OOC: I did not see that, ignore what I said, then.
Moreover (haha), I think the proposal looks far too much like a laundry list, perhaps cut down on the lists and integrate them into paragraphs?

I don't think that a long paragraph is very easy to read - a list keeps things nice and organized.

Fair enough, that is a stylistic choice up to you. I still think you should follow with the punctuation suggestions as they are in accordance with agreed-upon English punctuation rules.

Even without that, I have no idea how thirteen resolutions aren’t grounds for a commendation on their own. Previous commendations have been passed with far fewer.

There are many different grammatically correct ways to organise ideas, and many different stylistic choices to be made as well. The presentation that the author elects is as much of a representation of themselves as it is the nominee. Were there only one correct way of doing things, we could simply toss in subjects into a mechanical text generator and bypass the drafting process entirely.

Yeah, still annoying tho.

The ‘whining that someone hasn’t been commended yet’ clauses are rather superfluous and I’d prefer if this one didn’t have one.

Personally I tend to prefer a concluding clause so that the transition to "hereby commend x" isn't so abrupt.

Could you do one that’s more ‘Believing that such a nation should be thrust upon...’ or something along those lines instead.

13 resolutions are absolutely not enough for any commendation or condemnation on their own.

History doesn't really seem to agree with you.

There aren't too many reolutions where resolution writing is the only thing the target has done, but of those that come to mind where the writing is the bulk of what they're being commended for, Sionis Prioratus, Glen-Rhodes, and Bears Armed were all commended at the time of seven passed resolutions. Separatist Peoples had nine and a half*.

In any event, should this proposal make it to vote, we will certainly have an answer one way or another.

Bears Armed and Sep were commended for GA RP, and Glen was also commended for RealVotes and their debating. Sionis Prioratus is the only one that’s fully resolution writing, but if I’m not wrong is the first resolution to formally recognise a GA author, so I don’t think that’s exactly the most relevant precedent.

There is very little here that is actually commend worthy. Morover has done very little except pass resoultions.

Hard pass.

Authorship commends are quite established in this chamber (you know that) and the language of the bill obviously references other achievements.

In the proposal, they aren’t on their own, that is obvious. What I said was in response to Refuge Isle saying that 13 resolutions are grounds for commendation on their own.

That they are. The people receiving those commends usually have a tad bit more on their resume than this here nominee though. After all, if commends can be attributed to simply passing resoultions, and doing shit on forums, where is your commend?

I can see now how you were able to mis-assess how this vote would go.

Exciting to see this in motion. Congratulations Morover!

This commend will be the first that is remotely attached to CCD. I've instructed Shrew to vote for it, and we're even thinking about implementing an official vote directive.

Morover, know that the CCD community officially stands behind you in receiving this. It is well deserved!

That may be true, but Jocospor didn’t claim to take credit for Commend Morover passing, unlike what Dr Ac seems to have claimed.

You may notice that this isn’t my typical writing - the intention was to emulate Morover’s distinctive style as a pastiche of sorts. I used adjectives and phrasing from their SC writing to do so. Of course, I did receive approval prior to pursuing this. I may add "Commend Kuriko" as a fourth bullet point under the "Lauding" clause, assuming it passes.

Commend Morover
A resolution to recognise outstanding achievement by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation
Nominee: Morover


This most grand, impressive, and august Security Council,

Seeing that many nations send their avowed delegations to the hallowed halls of the World Assembly, yet an equitable few truly rise to the level of the delegation sent by Morover,

Understanding that this delegation treats World Assembly legislation as more important than their own national laws, demonstrating the sheer level of dedication they have to creating an inclusive and safe international environment,

Awed by the Morovian delegation’s ability to survive and thrive inside of the Festering Snakepit known as the General Assembly, where they have passed six resolutions, including:
Lauding the Morovian ambassador Gregory Perise, who has spearheaded the development of seven successful and well regarded resolutions presented to this fine and enlightened Security Council body, including but not limited to:
  • SC#297: Condemn Tinfect, which righteously exposed the hypocritical and dangerous practices of Tinfect, whose impact on the General Assembly chamber is incalculable,
  • SC#301: Repeal: "Condemn This Game", accountable for repealing a piece of legislation uncouth enough to bring the disgusting practices of satirical writing upon this noble alignment of nations,
  • SC#305: Condemn Psychotic Dictatorships, responsible for finally condemning a repulsive consolidation of dictatorships, moreover, the Morovian delegation made the decision in this piece to doubt the supposedly fragrant feet belonging to DEAREST LEADER, a wholly dangerous endeavor,
  • SC#328: Commend Kuriko, which served to recognize one of the most well regarded and successful defenders in this chamber's history;
Glad to see that the nation of Morover has used their experience and expertise to assist other delegations as an independent nation, Minister of World Assembly Affairs in The North Pacific, and Deputy Officer of World Assembly Affairs in The Rejected Realms by:
  • Debating the merits of dozens of proposals within the World Assembly’s drafting chambers,
  • Ensuring proper consolidation of regional power in the World Assembly through production of Information for Voter pamphlets in a timely manner,
  • Successfully hosting the Second World Assembly Symposium, where intellectuals from the World Assembly congregated to debate various important contemporary topics to determine the future of this very body;
Thoroughly dismayed that the glorious honor of commendation has not yet been thrust upon such a deserving nation by the well-endowed participants of these Consecrated Corridors,

Hereby Commends Morover.
