Is it possible to REQUEST a condemnation?

[Seaplant13]

As I was governing my nation Seaplant13 (which is a harsh dictatorship with little to no freedoms), a thought crossed my mind: would it be even remotely possible for nations to REQUEST a condemnation by the World Assembly in order to boost that nation's bad reputation? As strange as it sounds, I don't think that it's that bad of an option, given that just as a compassionate nation would ask to be commended, an evil nation would ask to be condemned. What do other people think about this?

[Eist]

Yes.

EDIT: Oh, yes, you can ask me if I'd spend a few hours of my time writing one up for you.

[A mean old man]

It has been done before.

[Seaplant13]

As strange and twisted as it may sound, being condemned sounds like a LOT of fun. I would expect that other nations have done such, but it sounded so strange that I had to ask anyway out of morbid curiosity. I can certainly imagine that it would be within the realm of imagination that other nations would have done the same. Thank you both for your answers.

As a reply, I would like to ask that one question. Here goes nothing.

Is it possible that you would spend a few hours of your time writing one up for me?

Also, as a side question, is it possible to condemn oneself? If so, would that help ease the suffering of said question? And if not, is there anything I can do in exchange for such exasperating work?

Once again, I express my gratitude towards your answers.

Ego-driven condemnations have a history of failure unless you have a LOT of history in the game (like the recently-passed condemnation of AMF). Plus, people will point at you and laugh at your pathetic attempts to appear evil.

Just sayin'.

Even AMF didn't request his condemnation; if I recall correctly, he was approached by Unibot who wanted to condemn him, and said that he would not mind it.

Pardon me, but my question was just a question. It was in no way intended to be egotistical, annoying, or stupid in any way. It was simply a question, and was never intended to be offensive to senior players of nationstates. There is no need to be rude about it and call the question pathetic or ego-driven, unless I have seriously offended you in any way, shape or form.

Don't worry about it. My failure to use smilies and 'air quotes' doesn't mean I wasn't being humorous. I'm just sayin' that those are the types of responses such threads usually get. I wasn't pickin' on you specifically, 'cause I'd never heard of you before you posted this thread. All the more reason to expect that sort of response.

Seems to me like you've got to do something unique, and you have to do it well.

I apologize for my rather brash response. I must admit I was taken aback a little, but your response makes me feel a lot better that it wasn't a personal attack. What I was asking about does seem a little absurd, but I guess through trial and error I'll figure things out around here, and what not to do to make people annoyed or angry...

It is a little hard to do something unique in this game, given that we all get the same issues. However, I DO have a smiling piece of seaweed as a flag. Does that count?

Nope, that's where gameplay comes in

Try them out. Commit some genocides and wreck a few regions... Then we can talk

[New Heathera]

Reminds me of the past resolution to condemn Punk, or whatever the West Pacific's ex-delegate was called. He kind of went overboard with the "I want to be condemned!" thing.

Genocide alone does not make someone worthy of condemnation; countless nations have done genocides, but only so many have done it with a certain style and creativity that distinguishes them from everyone else. It is those nations which deserve condemnation.

Or a commendation, for those nations who pull off their genocides while still retaining a justified stance.

And still coming out smiling and looking like the good guys.

An interesting viewpoint, indeed. Any style in particular your prefer? Any style which should be avoided?

Now a days, even two genocides, eight raids, two covert raids, attempts on a forum, and a rogue delegate move on sinker doesn't get you a condemnation >__>

You pretty much have to be an epic Roleplay and a favorite among the proposal writers.

I myself got condemned by doing stuff like this. That essentially reflects my style, but in reality it is a matter of personal preference.

I believe this card is in order.
