[DEFEATED]Repeal:Liberate Confederation of Corrupt Dictators

[Wallenburg]

Anyone know what the record for largest losing margin is? I'm interested.

Records aren't kept of failed proposals, but I have occasionally seen failures of 95%+

Failed resolutions are archived in the WA Archives forum.

Indeed there are, but I was more meaning gameside.

I think that even if they didn't repeal it, they would still be able to fight back. Besides, they have the power.

We should still repeal it though, as it's useless.

Much as I love the badge, I personally think it's time for something new.

Like a Commended badge.

Four days ago, Jocospor was in the Security Council praising his region's badge.

So seriously, what suddenly changed your minds?

I mean, bringing up TCB is going a little off topic for this resolution. My discussion would be better suited in a more general topic on double standards for extreme politics on NationStates

Give it up, good sir. You've fought the good fight. I've pretty much given up trying to convince people I'm not a fascist just because I'm in the CCD.

Funny how the rest of your argument is true, though. I don't think I've seen much criticism of the extreme left-wing ideologies here, despite being just as bad as the extreme right.

I'm an anarcho-syndicalist, with anarcho-communist parts to my ideology, and people think I"m a fascist because I'm in the CCD.

It's absolutely annoying, and we should make it clear we're an RP region, not the Black Raiders.

Black Riders*

You're right though, you guys haven't committed major script rules violations. And yet, some former Black Riders are welcome in the GP community, and CCD members are not

[Frances Francis the First of France]

I needed a good chuckle today.

The region has changed none of its policies, has refused to work on changing its perception. And yet feels a self-repeal will hit it off when part of the liberation even references self-commendation.

Best April Fools Day prank so far.

Against.

1. It's a joke for April Fool's Day. I'm a center-right libertarian.
2. Even if it wasn't a joke, how does or why would a communist quote Ayn Rand?

"Communist Who Quotes Ayn Rand"



Lmao. I can't believe you said that.

[Victoriaans Nederlands]

I'm not up to date with the news and happenings of CCD and its shenanigans, so.... Why are you repealing your own liberation again?

[RiderSyl]

I haven't brought up anything that wasn't related to what I was replying to

see: rant on page 3

My statement is still true.

[Confederation State Broadcasting]

Our thanks! We were quite happy with it ourselves.

[Castelia]

Mostly as an April Fools' joke. We like to make people laugh after all, even if we are the butt of the joke. After all, the CCD likes to bring smiles to everyone's faces!

[Peigan]

Anybody want to bet on the outcome?

It will fail harder than the Cleveland Brown's 2017 season.

My statement is still true.

Except for the fact it clearly isn't.

Really makes me wonder what else you're lying about.

Yeah, cheers, we'll take this as a compliment.

Just when you think CoCD could not shit the bed any more than they have, they accuse a cancer survivor of lying about it on zero evidence. Fucking hell lads...

Read back through what RS posted on page 3 and then read Shrew's accusation about lying again. Honestly, this is pretty out of order.

I know, I agree with you. It's some grade A BS that is abhorrent.

I dont see how being a cancer survivor has anything to do with this. And to add to the victim Olympics, that's coming from a sibling of a cancer victim. It doesnt matter that I am, but for some reason it matters to you.

OOC: Buddy, I don't know why you're so caught up on us having $1.35 to spend. If that's a lot of money for you, I'm not sure how you can afford an ISP to play NationStates.

Good lord, you picked the wrong person to say this to.

I'm a disabled 25-year-old whose only income is a monthly check from Social Security. I have two thirds of a functioning right lung. The remaining one third of that lung is damaged from chemotherapy, and the entire left lung was removed due a cancerous tumor. That means I cannot walk down a hallway without having to sit down or stop, and no workplace will give me the amount of scheduled breaks I would need to actually work and make a living. I actually don't pay for the ISP I have. I wouldn't have an internet connection and my quality of life would be severely worse than it is now if not for excellent support from my family. $1.35 is a lot of money for me, and I can't see ever asking those that help keep my quality of life in a good place to help me pay for what you do. Pushing forward terribly-written proposals that have no chance of passing on a nation sim that's slowly dying anyway is a waste of money that I don't have, because I have to save every penny after spending hundreds on doctors and pills and vitamins and supplements and tests and operations and groceries and rent.

Don't call me "buddy".

I dont mean to be a d*ck here, but none of this is relevant. You're calling someone out for spending a small amount of money on a game. It's not classy or ethical, but no one could tell what's happened to you or what your story is. Yeah, theres people out there that live on a dollar a day and a 1.35 would help them quite a bit.

I'm sorry you've been through that and still siffer, but it's not relevant to the conversation and it was really unfair for you to go for this line of attack. This whole thread, you've been overly hostile, condescending, and done nothing to maintain a civil argument. Cancer or no, disabled or no, theres no reason for this.

He sarcastically went "Lol how can you afford internet". Well, I gave him a detailed answer on why. And helpfully proving that this is about more than just these small little purchases, Jocospor went and spent over 170 dollars on this game a few days after that post. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't ooze condescending entitlement, but he does. All the time.

I'm sorry you've been through that and still siffer, but it's not relevant to the conversation and it was really unfair for you to go for this line of attack.

I've yet to see any of you explain how it's irrelevant, while I've been repeatedly explaining how it was on-topic over and over. As for it being unfair for me to bring it up? I don't care. Especially now with the implication I'm making it up. I'm even more inclined to be unfair towards Jocospor, Shrew, and the Confederation in the future.

Apparently my exchange with Peigan just didn't fucking happen, huh? Go back and check it out. I am civil within reason. When it's these CCD peeps though, I will not hold back, because they deserve it. They dish it out, they can take it.
