[DEFEATED] Condemn Kyrusia

[Marilyn Manson Freaks]

The Security Council,

Recalling the fabled creation of Kyrusia: one deeply shrouded in mystery.

Reminiscing about how the Overgoat, who was soon to be the Overlord of Kyrusia, fell from the stars, landed on this world, and almost immediately after, founded the autocratic hellhole that is now known as Kyrusia.

Aware of how incredibly far from the Overgoat's caprine home planet he was, and the trials that he faced during the construction of Kyrusia, which in his mind would soon form a new world order while on this planet and eventually dominate the multiverse.

Disgusted that in a desperate attempt to further his own plots and establish Kyrusia as a world superpower, the Overgoat has expanded his sphere of influence across the world, specifically, to the Sinker region Osiris.

Shuddering at the numerous depravities the Overgoat has committed against Osiris and its inhabitants to accommodate his and the nation of Kyrusia's goals and ambitions, including, but not limited to:

• Kyrusia's fervent attempts to brainwash and control Osiris in their former position of Sub-Vizier of Propaganda under three Pharaohs via carefully-constructed banners, badges, and posters to justify war crimes and other acts of aggression against non-Osirans,
  
• Kyrusia's complete and utter disregard for justice as shown through their term as a Priest of Osiris, which they have used to exert their authority upon those even convicted of petty crimes by giving them unreasonably harsh sentences,

Unsettled at Kyrusia's national religion, the Cult of the Overgoat, which is nothing more than a state-mandated cult of personality manufactured by glittery zealots to extend the Overgoat's tyrannical reign,

Horrified that Kyrusia has exploited, spied on, and overthrown foreign nations in the name of the Cult of the Overgoat, using religious freedom as an excuse,

Dispirited that citizens of Kyrusia have been rendered mindless propaganda-pushing zombies by the Kyrusian media and the satellites listed below:

• Renegade Radio, a rebel radio station that is intercepted daily by Kyrusian propagandists hoping to desensitize Kyrusians to the murders of the Overgoat's political opponents,
  
• Yabber, a GalactiNet site that has fallen prey to thousands of Kyrusian bot accounts, created only to interfere in foreign elections,

Furious that a nation and its leader would resort to such treachery and impurity,

Hoping that one day a benevolent force may free Kyrusia from the Overgoat and his minions,

Hereby condemns Kyrusia.

So, I wanted to write a more light-hearted condemnation. Kyru seemed like a deserving and perfect person. And, just a note on the Osiris things before y'all get mad at me and scree about Kyru being a model citizen. (This is a roleplay condemnation, and Kyru thought it would be fine to include those parts.) Anyway, dig in. I want honest opinions. (Also, I'm aware there's going to be a few rude ones on how this condemnation was written by a socialite with only his friends in mind, blahblahblahblah.) Here you guys go.

EDIT: All he/him/his pronouns refer to the Overgoat, Kyrusia's leader, not the nation.

[The Sherpa Empire]

I saw this thread in the sidebar and I thought it was going to be someone that was bitter about being banned and decided to take their anger out through the SC.

[Kyrusia]

Nah. Just Truth & Facts™ Absurd Lies™.

[Aclion]

I don't know much about Kyrusia, but this proposals got style.

[United Massachusetts]

Kyrusia is a menace. We must condemn.

[Ransium]

I don’t know the answer, but I wonder if this proposal could better reflect the extent of Kyru’s RP contributions.

[RPRA Techcorp]

We must condemn the Overgoat's menace in the strongest terms possible! This esteemed assembly must declare with one voice that we will not stand for their vaguely-defined atrocities!

[Kyrusia]

We must condemn the Overgoat's menace in the strongest terms possible! This esteemed assembly must declare with one voice that we will not stand for their vaguely-defined atrocities!

Here! Here!

I mean... No. Why ever would you think that I, His Most Caprine Malevolence, would ever be evil or commit even a single vaguely-defined atrocity for vaguely-defined reasons in a vaguely-defined manner? This is nothing but complete and total haberdashery. That's what this is: haberdashery.

It's also not like I would seek to propagate the spread of a "synthwave infection" throughout various communities via Expertly Designed™, retro graphics, either.

[Vrama]

Namaste,

This is ridiculous!

We hereby move to amend the draft to Commend rather than condemn Kyrusia.

[The New Bluestocking Homeland]

Overgoat has perpetrated such a trail of somewhat-hazy calumnies. We must stand, shoulder-to-shoulder, in condemnation of capricious caprinae.

I saw this thread in the sidebar and I thought it was going to be someone that was bitter about being banned and decided to take their anger out through the SC.

At first, I thought that, too.

[Escade]

I am fully in support of this condemnation.

I would like to suggest, "In shock and awe at the delectably delightful evil that is propagated through the Cult of the Overgoat's propaganda war machine such as nefarious recipes, exquisitely diabolical writing, a sharp sense of humor, and the " the spread of a "synthwave infection" throughout various communities via Expertly Designed™, retro graphics."

Here is some further evidence of deleteriousness from childhood family videos:

[Marilyn Manson Freaks]

I don’t know the answer, but I wonder if this proposal could better reflect the extent of Kyru’s RP contributions.

He didn't want a condemnation based solely on his rp. He just wants to be the SC's BBEG.

[Yohannes]

but I wonder if this proposal could better reflect the extent of Kyru’s RP contributions.

This. Kyrusia is one of National and International Roleplaying's best writers (has been since 2012). I can count on one hand how many National and International RP writers whose work I hold in high regard (i.e. for their writing skills), and Kyrusia is one of them.

Support—that is, if this is a serious proposal.

Edit: Now I've seen the explanation below. In that case, I have nothing else to say. Support.

[United Massachusetts]

I don’t know the answer, but I wonder if this proposal could better reflect the extent of Kyru’s RP contributions.

He didn't want a condemnation based solely on his rp. He just wants to be the SC's BBEG.

There's a difference between "not based solely on rp" and "no rp at all." This is slightly closer to the latter than the former, I fear.

[Kyrusia]

I don’t know the answer, but I wonder if this proposal could better reflect the extent of Kyru’s RP contributions.

He didn't want a condemnation based solely on his rp. He just wants to be the SC's BBEG.

(For the record, Manson is correct here; I did indicate against my nation-based roleplaying history generally being included in any condemn/commend being written, with focus instead upon my activities in the GP community, and the general persona I have crafted there, resulting in said light-hearted, albeit legitimately-intended draft. This is largely due to the simple fact that in the canons of my nation-based roleplaying, I do not acknowledge the World Assembly as extant; it would therefor be somewhat untoward of me to allow a condemnation/commendation to move forward using activities on those accounts as the basis. The exceptions are "¥abber," which was made on this account, and Renegade Radio, which is more of a tongue-in-cheek reference to an RP post I made on a puppet, albeit "fluffed-out" of that context in the phrasing of the draft, each of which seemed contextually safe from my aforementioned perspective, or sufficiently fluffed-out to be contextually appropriate to this account's activities.)

[Armaros]

I love the way this is written. Full support.

[Bhang Bhang Duc]

Nice draft Manson, reads well. I don't know enough about Kyru to comment too closely on the content, but it does look like they would be worthy recipients of a Condemnation.

The Security Council,

Recalling the fabled creation of Kyrusia; one deeply shrouded in mystery.

Semicolons separate two different but connected thoughts into a single sentence; the second thought is only a fragment and thus should be separated by a comma or a colon.

Reminiscing about how the Overgoat, who was soon to be the Overlord of Kyrusia, fell from the stars, landed on this world, and almost-immediately after, founded the autocratic hellhole that is now named Kyrusia.

I'm not sure that hyphen is necessary. The second underlined portion sounds a bit weird. It could be replaced by a number of things, from "now known as" to a simple "of".

Aware of how incredibly far from the Overgoat's caprine home planet he was, and the trials that he faced during the construction of Kyrusia, which in his mind, would soon dominate the multiverse and form a new world order while on this planet.

That comma is unnecessary. Also, I feel like "dominate the multiverse" should come after "establish a new world order".

Disgusted that in a desperate attempt to further his own plots and establish Kyrusia as a world superpower, the Overgoat has expanded his sphere of influence across the world, specifically, to the Sinker region Osiris.

Shuddering at the numerous depravities the Overgoat has committed against Osiris and its inhabitants to accommodate his and the nation of Kyrusia's goals and ambitions, including, but not limited to:

Since it's a condemnation it doesn't hurt to take a more accusatorial tone.

Kyrusia's use its former position as Sub-Vizier of Propaganda under three Pharaohs in its fervent attempts to brainwash and control Osiris via carefully-constructed banners, badges, and posters to justify war crimes and other acts of aggression against non-Osirans,

I attempted to reword this clause. I'm not 100% proud of it, so feel free to ignore it.

Kyrusia's complete and utter disregard for justice as shown through their term as a Priest of Osiris, which they have used to exert their authority upon those even convicted of petty crimes by giving them unreasonably harsh sentences,

Unsettled at Kyrusia's national religion, the Cult of the Overgoat, which is nothing more than a state-mandated cult of personality manufactured by glittery zealots to extend the Overgoat's tyrannical reign,

Horrified that Kyrusia has exploited, spied on, and overthrown foreign nations in the name of the Cult of the Overgoat, using religious freedom as an excuse,

Dispirited that citizens of Kyrusia have been rendered mindless propaganda-pushing zombies by the Kyrusian media and the satellites listed below:

• Renegade Radio, a rebel radio station that is intercepted daily by Kyrusian propagandists hoping to desensitize Kyrusians to the murders of the Overgoat's political opponents,
  
• Yabber, a GalactiNet site that has fallen prey to thousands of Kyrusian bot accounts, created only to interfere in foreign elections,

Furious that a nation and its leader would resort to such treachery and impurity,

Hoping that one day a benevolent force may free Kyrusia from the Overgoat and his minions,

Hereby condemns Kyrusia.

That's all I've got. This is well written and well argued.

Thanks, Nohbdy. I made those edits except for the clause you reworded.

[Marilyn Manson Freaks]

Submitted.

[United Massachusetts]

Submitted.

Approved.

Echoing some things said on the WA discord.

How would you respond to someone saying that this proposal lacks content and doesn't meet the bar for what a typical condemnation should require? To keep it 'lighthearted' and leave out information seems like a weird reason to understate certain items of a players career, especially if everyone would still vote to condemn based on the various things that were omitted.

[Jakker]

EDIT: All he/him/his pronouns refer to the Overgoat, Kyrusia's leader, not the nation.

I am just reading this proposal in full now. Currently, I'm not fully convinced that those pronouns should be used even in reference to the argument that it is leader of the nation. Your proposal discusses how the Overgoat created the nation and it just reads to much like the player behind the nation (even with the RP language). Again, that is just my perspective and Ransium has ruled it as legal, so it is still legal at this time since it's a tie. I am also open to changing my thoughts about that.

[SovCol]

All Glory to the Overgoat!

What is a typical condemnation?
