We shall see. Going to the proposal:Feux wrote:Inactivity and retirement are not necessarily the issue at hand, and I think the first clause of the proposal implies the author's sole argument behind this legislation is simply not "because he/she does not do it anymore."
Granted, it is a big deal. However so are repeal resolutions. They should say what they mean and mean what they say, in a consistent way.Feux wrote:Understanding that a commendation, an official recognition from the Security Council for virtuous deeds or attributes above and beyond the typical, is arguably the highest honor bestowed on any nation for their achievements;
I voted against repealing TQOTD's Commend. That was a bad precedent. And yes, there are numerous attempts to repeal CTEd nations commendations, and Macedon's condemnation because the region is empty. Now if you are saying "attempt by someone who has a name that will make success likely," then no, but the threads are made pretty often and discouraged because that is not why we should repeal resolutions.Feux wrote: While I do understand your perspective to a degree, this proposal will certainly not be one to set any precedent as well. I recall several commendations/condemnations removed from nations and regions because they or whatever they did has become irrelevant, such as Security Council resolution # 101 or #116. However, that is not the case as already specified, and with such a possible negative precedent already set, I have not seen any drafts attempting to repeal commendations/condemnations from old time players you and I would consider creditable, or well versed, etc. because they no longer do anything.
I must point above. All of the lines with any meat, or reference to specifics do just that, except that part about the "approx script" and maybe the considering line but even it seems to point toward "he used to do it, but now it doesn't."Feux wrote: So yes, I would agree with you that it took a more developed argument to repeal Sedge's commendation. AMOM, SkyDip, Kandarin, Naivetry are names that come to mind when thinking of possible examples. I ask that you please consider stepping back from any notion that the sole arguments presented in this proposal are "because he no longer does them" clauses and that they are setting negative precedents, and consider the arguments presented within the first two clauses of the proposal more highly.
Good questions. Those are good questions that would relate better to a repeal that criticized the reasons for which he was initially commended.Feux wrote: In addition, I think Anime Daisuki asked an interesting question in this thread when questioning "why...Hobbes [was] commended when under 'normal' circusmstances he wouldn't have been?" Not to steal any diction from BT, but the Security Council should not recognize individuals that do an assortment of meh+ activities.
And the answer to the question is Lemmings don't just follow vote totals, they follow TGs.
