[PASSED] Condemn Macedon

[Cormactopia Prime]

What does the esteemed delegate from 10000 Islands hope to accomplish with this? She doesn't need the commendation badges; she's already earned them. Nothing is changed by the action.

I think Kuriko has made pretty clear what she hopes to accomplish: She wants to pass a better written Condemn Macedon, befitting Macedon's historical role and legacy, and she wants to repeal SC#1. Pending passage of this proposal, she will have succeeded in the first goal, because this is far better written than SC#1 -- no offense to its author, who was writing at a time when the Security Council was brand new and standards were not yet established. Whether SC#1 ends up being repealed or not, this Condemnation doesn't duplicate it, and provides Macedon with the Condemnation it always deserved.

Now, in all seriousness, let's lay this "badge" thing to rest. As has been pointed out, yes, Kuriko does already have badges. So this isn't about that.

[Glacikaldr]

I support this, but I will not support a replace.

[Monetillia]

She wants to pass a better written Condemn Macedon, befitting Macedon's historical role and legacy, and she wants to repeal SC#1.

Bwahahaha! What? She honestly expects us to arbitrarily pass a rewrite because the first doesn't meet up to her expectations? It was sufficient at the time when the governing body's votes were cast. A rewrite, while generating a lot of busy-ness, accomplishes nothing else other than satiating her ego about a "real" condemnation. Regardless of the wording of a condemnation, one is essentially the same as the other, and they sound like this:

"You did something we don't like, and we're going to tell you all the reasons we don't like it. Now, shame on you!"

That's what all of them boil down to. All of that was sufficiently accomplished in the original draft, and nothing about that will be rendered untrue by repeating the process for no change.

[...]this Condemnation doesn't duplicate it, and provides Macedon with the Condemnation it always deserved.

We absolutely assert the contrary. In throughput, this condemnation is absolutely a duplicate. Unless the delegate from 10000 Islands found a way to get Macedon punished a second time, absolutely nothing is changed, and if she did find a way to do that, there is an entirely different conversation this assembly needs to be having about double jeopardy, again, a more important conversation for our time than this.

Now, in all seriousness, let's lay this "badge" thing to rest. As has been pointed out, yes, Kuriko does already have badges. So this isn't about that.

We mention it only because it keeps coming up, and it seems like this body enjoys being repetitive. We just wanted to show you how annoying it is when someone engages in repetition to no effect, and seeing that you are sufficiently irked by the mention, we are glad to see that you at least understand our frustration by means of empathy if not reason.

[Flanderlion]

This looks good, but against the repeal.

[CMGE]

What's the point of this condemnation? Macedon's been dead for at least two years.

[Ragnaria]

Voting against a pointless condemnation, region is inactive.

Moderation has already ruled that this is not a duplicate, so you saying it is does not make it so. This was originally intended as a replacement for SC#1, which is to be attempted to be repealed if this passes.

Given that I was peripherally involved in this proposal prior to its posting, I don’t feel I should make any sort of ruling on this (nor have I marked it legal/illegal in the queue for the same reason). However, two other moderators have considered this and it appears they believe it is legal.

[Promisit Dominus]

Macedon hasn't had any activity in 2 years so I don't see a big impact either way...

[Banyuwangi]

Macedon hasn't had any activity in 2 years so I don't see a big impact either way...

9 years of inactivity in this case. AFAIK: there is no evidence that the region Macedon really did invade Belgium or anything more recent. Those recent claims are false if no single evidence is found. (the author even wrote it as comment on page 1)

Two glitchy batches for one inactive puppet region: you are warned twice !

AGAINST

There is evidence that they did all the things I put in the proposal. This is the very message I left on the TNP forum:

In my latest proposal to condemn the region of Macedon I had to dig for information, and in this case it was indeed harder than the other two commendations I wrote. I had to seek information from the NS forums, from NS region archives, and from people who were around when these things happened. The following is a list of where I gathered my evidence for this proposal, and in some instances you may need to read it yourself.

· In this Thread it talks about Macedon's raid of the region of Belgium. There is also talk of what happened to France previously, although it wasn't as prominent as the Belgium raid. They also discuss Macedonian disdain for Greeks, and how Macedon seems to have been on an ethnic cleansing streak. They also discuss Macedon's use of sleepers to impose passwords, and how liberations were introduced because of Belgium.

· In this Thread there is an announcement from Grub about TITO's interception of the France refound attempt by Macedon after griefing the region.

. In the following screenshots I spoke with my friend Frattastan, who had access to the FRA forums and their records. These are evidence for what I say about the Macedon attack on Greece. They used a sleeper, as evidenced by the native endos on the Macedon lead nation.

· In the following spoiler is a list of the regions Macedon still has control over, some of which they've had for almost 12 years. I found these by digging through regional rankings (which was a pain), then double checked by looking at a regional dump from 2016.

I know that this is a long post, and am sorry for that. However, with the evidence I have provided I hope that maybe you will support my proposal. I worked hard to gather the information for my proposal, as I always do when considering a commendation or condemnation. As mentioned before, I would like to inform you that I do indeed have a Repeal drafted for SC#1 and ready for submission if this proposal is passed. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
Kuriko

[Kilkerneys Landing]

This region has laid dormant for almost a year, with their last message on their RMB being a year ago, I really do not see a point in putting this up to a voter for crimes that have already been settled, and if these regions listed were invaded, all regions listed are inactive and not constantly up to date, it just seems pointless to vote for this.

[Kuriko]

Condemn Macedon was passed 13,733 votes to 2,248.

[Bears Armed]

and if these regions listed were invaded, all regions listed are inactive and not constantly up to date

They're inactive because Macedon seized them and won't let anybody do anything with them...

[The Church of Satan]

I still see no point in a new condemnation for Macedon. I won't support a repeal of SC#1 even if this new condemnation passed. Why stop here though? Why not go ahead and condemn The Atlantic Alliance next?

[Frattastan IV]

Why stop here though? Why not go ahead and condemn The Atlantic Alliance next?

That makes more sense, though, since there were no C&Cs in the time when the AA was active.
Many players have been commended or condemned for actions that happened before the Security Council was estabilished (2009). Among regions, Allied States of EuroIslanders was condemned six-seven years after the actions mentioned in the proposal, when it no longer was a functioning region by any means.
