It is weird, but I want to see how it goes. Because it's meant to showcase the hardwork Atlae can put towards a cause. Recruiting 50 random residents- from a GCR no less, regions not known to have as high military engagement- to serve as updaters in a liberation attempt is no mean feat. So while it ultimately did fail (and I'm not shying away from that there), I think it can be included in a commendation.Praeceps wrote:The liberation wasn't successful?! I really don't think it should be included in that case. It would be bizarre to commend someone for writing a GA resolution/commendation/condemnation that doesn't pass (I'm excluding liberations here since they can accomplish their goal without passing), submitting an issue that doesn't make it into the game, a multi-regional organization that quickly fails, etc. I think it's quite weird to commend someone for trying to liberate a region.
But again, I completely understand your point. You don't typically include unsuccessful things in a commendation, because they didn't meet their goal. In most cases, there isn't much value in a failed org/draft/institution besides the experience gained. But as they say, there's always exceptions to everything, and IMO this could be a good exemption to that general norm as despite its failure it was quite an undertaking, one which Atlae substantially contributed to. And I believe that contribution suitably meets the rationale for this commend- that Atlae is an example of dedication and hardwork.
I would argue that those who work hard in governments of one or two regions over the course of years should and often will eventually get commended- because that dedication (or perhaps boredom, hehe) is exemplary and out-of-the-norm. People like you or Atlae.You have quite a number of government positions listed, I'm not sure if that's comprehensive, however, based on my experience, you can have people serving in government whose performance ranges from excellent to good to average to poor. Now, there are a lot of players in government positions of prominent regions, if we recognized all of them, the SC would be quite busy! I personally imagine it takes excellent performances to be recognized. Aside, from the EPSA, I'm not quite convinced that his performance in government positions is excellent—that's not saying that his performances weren't excellent, just that I don't think those positions communicate an excellent performance and could use more details to try to communicate that if it's the case (and even then I do think the EPSA could use more details ).
I totally agree in that the act of just having multiple offices and maybe doing the bare minimum isn't enough for a commendation- and there are a lot of people who do that. But Atlae isn't like that, so I'll try to do what you suggested and show that these positions did peruse excellent performance. But given that I'm a first-time author with limited characters, we'll have to see if I can improve it well enough
