Let kandarin's achievements in ancient history be lauded by a resolution from ancient history.
This proposal hasn't a foot to stand on.

Because my WA account switches constantly, but this is the one I use for authorship and drafting?
Anyways, there is absolutely no reason to repeal SC # 2. It doesn't fit today's rules but it did when it was passed, so it is still legal. This is a badge hunt, plain and simple, and I have no support for it.

Problem with this is it's a self-defeating loop. The current resolution does not actually stipulate any specific actions Kandarin did, and if I take your "legendary status" to be accurate, it most certainly falls short of being up-to-par. The only two things I get from reading this resolution are:In any case, I would prefer someone who has, unlike what can be garnered from this resolution, the remotest of ideas regarding Kandarin's contributions to help me coauthor a replacement.
- Kandarin didn't kick people who disagreed with them, which should be the norm, and
- Kandarin helped people on the forums, which can be rewritten as "assisting less experienced nations in navigating the international landscape."

That's less than half of the repeal criteria though! What about the other half, the ambiguousness, and the simple fact that much of what is claimed in SC2 is simply not commendable? Or, if the target was deserving of a commendation, how it does not edge on giving them the recognition they deserve?

I agree with this. I am not opposed in principle to repealing and replacing SC#2 (and I disagree with everyone who says that the SC should just focus on current players -- have you seen the current resolution at vote? The SC clearly doesn't have pressing business right now) but I would really like to see the replacement first.

Replacing poorly written and researched resolutions (by the standards nowadays) limits attempted repeals. More importantly, it helps to actually illustrate why a nominee was deserving of recognition and helps distinguish between resolutions that are "well-deserving nominee but not well-written resolution" and "not necessitating recognition of the SC and should be repealed resolutions".

Quite frankly, it's outdated and it insufficiently represents the target. Did Kandarin do anything more than pitch around on the forums / run TRR? If so, that cannot be extrapolated from the current resolution. If not, then the conduct mentioned probably doesn't deserve a commendation anyways. Since I'm only looking at the lack of information, and not the quality or details thereof, I would need someone to at least assist with the rewriting process.
