[DEFEATED]Repeal:Liberate Confederation of Corrupt Dictators

[Lord Dominator]

No, we got it awhile ago. Is the joke how much it's going to crash and burn?

Is someone worried their proposal is going to get repealed?

I have no reason to be, so no.

[Caracasus]

OOC: Ding ding ding!! Although I don't quite think everyone understood, but at least the cat's out of the bag now.

It is odd because an april fool's joke shoild be funny and something unexpected etc. The CoCD tying up the security council in another pointless vote is neither.

I imagine they're hoping that this will pass because people will be distracted by whatever the event tomorrow is. If that's the case they've kind of blown it a bit by drawing so much attention to it.

OK, I'll be fair: the idea that LD might need to worry is vaguely amusing. But that's a lot of setup for such a mild punchline.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

I support this proposal, surprising nobody.

I'm more amused than between midnight and noon today, it went from needing 2 more approvals, to needing... two more approvals.

[Stellar Colonies]

If it wasn't for these periodic proposals, I'm sure that some people wouldn't be aware of CoCD's existence.

So, good job with trying to get and keep everyone's attention.

It worked.

[Kranostav]

Honestly a better joke would have been something like pushing a commend TNP to vote or Commend Civil Siren. Something that will pass and leave it's Mark despite being a joke.

Re: Diary vs Calendar

When speaking to multi-regional audience it's preferred to use the most universal terms possible to make sure everyone is on the same page. While you can get mad at Americans for not knowing a local dialect (everyone has to learn it for the first time sometime), it'd be like Americans getting mad at others for not knowing Fahrenheit or Imperial units. Not meant to be patronizing, but just something from experience of doing public speaking for many different audiences. It's a similar reason why politicians "dumb down" their speeches for their voters, as well.

And if mistakes are made regardless, like I said, everyone has to learn for the first time sometime.

OOC:It sure sounds like it. (You don't lose your badge if your resolution is repealed)

I'd really like to use some more colourful (oh, wait, colorful - better spell it that way so you don't get confused) language here, but I don't think the mods would appreciate it.

Knock it off with the potshots at another player's intelligence.

OOC: Yes, because British English is a local dialect.

It was still weird phrasing in British English. It would make more sense to say 'check the callender.'

It's really not, and I'm fairly sure that if I asked anyone to check their callender they'd just refer me to a dictionary.

If you went back over the thread, you'd see Shrew isn't doing that. Then again, potshots all round, right? https://imgur.com/SQounRO If you don't believe this proposal has anything to do with April Fools', think again.*sigh* Moderators can be so disappointingly partial

Trying to imply moderator bias by posting a screenshot of a moderator's personal off-site comments is really stupid of you, Joco. For someone that hides behind the OOC tag so much, you don't seem to know what it represents.

[The Gilded Star]

OOC: Yes, because British English is a local dialect.

Local dialect was a poor choice of description, fair enough. Nonetheless, British terms will generally only be understood by British in the same way that American terms will only be understood by Americans, Australian terms by Australians, and so forth. If I told you to "check your buggy" and you misinterpreted what a buggy was, is that your fault for having inter-cultural lack of awareness, or my fault for using a non-universal term?

If you went back over the thread, you'd see Shrew isn't doing that.

If I told you to "toss a poke for the aluminum armor", it'd be pretty facetious of me to assume that if you don't know what a poke is, that must also mean you have no idea aluminum armor means aluminium armour.

[Ransium]

I had to take out a space after the bracket to make the title fit. Change as you please so long as it keeps the at vote tag.

[ShrewLlamaLand]

Two hours in... glad to see we've already got three Pacifics voting against us.

It's fine though, we have some "interesting" campaign telegrams lined up which will be sure to make the vote much closer.

All good, it looks fine as is.

Nah, it really is weird phrasing to say check your diary - unless you're my nan. You're not my nan are you Joco? Because I'm pretty sure my nan isn't on NS and I'm certain she wouldn't want anything to do with fascists.

I'm afraid I only usually bother with breaking out my laptop and using a spellcheck for stuff that matters - hence the typo.

Why was resolution 263 passed anyway? shouldn’t we be condemning them?

Resolution 263 is written the way a condemnation would be written but is filed as a liberation.

What the fuq is going on here?

Condemnations are seen as nothing more than badges of honor, because that is what they almost always are. They do nothing in the game. Using Liberation proposals in the place of Condemnations, however, make a region easier to raid if/when their founder CTE's, which can inspire the corrective behavior in the regions we pass them against. If they don't work towards correcting their behavior, then they'll have that glaring security risk to actually effectively punish them.

It's a rare to use the Liberation proposal this way, as it's reserved for use against fascist and fascist-leaning regions. The CoCD was Liberated in this way after they attempted to pass a self-Commendation in the Security Council that included them bragging about spreading fascism.

You're welcome to try. We wouldn't mind another badge.

This is honestly the best joke in the entire thread.

If you're going to bring this up again, you can at least give us the full credit. We've attempted to pass a self-commendation three times.

This practice is only a couple years old. Its the dumbest thing that could be done. "I dont like how they act in their own region. Better threaten to destroy their community!

Ugh. The SC can just dissolve.

2. Explain?

I'm answering United States of Americanas' question. The other self-commendations don't have anything to do with why y'all were Liberated. Try to use logic when replying to people.

Why are you so disgusted with the attempted punishment of fascist behavior?

1. I don't have a victim complex. Neither does Jocospor.

Well, you're both very good at acting like it. Complaining about the big bad "WA elites" holding you down, complaining about the big bad biased mods... I guess because you don't tag it OOC, it's part of your roleplay, right?
