Commend The Skeleton Army
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Category: Commendation | Nominee: The Skeleton Army | Proposed by: Sedgistan
The World Assembly,
Recognising The Skeleton Army as the self-declared "greatest raider region,"
Bowing down to their mighty leader, the Warrior Skeleton Queen of Ramazakal,
Noting that their fearless armies of the undead are renowned for conquering regions under the cover of darkness,
Aware that this is a fate that has befallen such prominent regions as Texas, The West Pacific, The Rejected Realms, and The Cuckoos Egg,
Surprised to learn that The Skeleton Army never causes harm to the regions it invades and instead prefers to mingle with the natives, steal food from their barbecues, and attempt to drink beer - with hilarious results,
Appreciating The Skeleton Army's generous supply of sticky ribs to the regions it conquers,
Acknowledging that all that The Skeleton Army requires from its defeated enemies is for them to sign the Thighbone of Surrender,
Believing that these novel and unique military tactics are far superior to the conventional varieties,
Desiring that other regions follow their example,
Thusly Commends The Skeleton Army.
This is something I've been hoping to submit for months. I started drafting it on TSC's forums back in January, but it kind of died off. Above is the current draft - I'm still not sure it does them justice, but I'm hoping that by posting this here, I can get some input from others, and motivate myself to finish it off.
I did have a dilemna about whether to commend them (as above) or condemn them (as a fearsome raider group), but in the end went for the commendation.
A little bit of background - The Skeleton Army is the funniest raider group around. They've been in NationStates for several years, and their method of 'raiding' is to move some non-WA nations to the target region, and then post on the RMB claiming to have taken it over. I don't think that description really does them justice - their invasions are absolutely hilarious, and generally enjoyed by all involved - especially the 'invaded' region.
