PASSED: Repeal "Liberate The Security Council"

[Unibotian WASC Mission]

Because of this resolution, i have quit the WA.

i want Unibot to have my office, it was so much better than his.

Thats the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. *sobs* It would be my honor, ambassador.

OOC: Keep on rocking in the free world, Lanos.

[Unibotian WASC Mission]

*rushes in and steals the printer*

I guess I won't tell him that its broken.

[The Republic of Lanos]

I will still remain in WA discussions, mainly because we need to be convinced to rejoin. (if the resolution at vote is repealed and the Security Council is reliberated, then we will rejoin. so far, the resolution is to troll everyone i can see.)

[Ardchoille]

so far, the resolution is to troll everyone i can see.)

Uh-uh-uhhh -- No! Naughty!

[The Republic of Lanos]

Uh-uh-uhhh -- No! Naughty!

ok ok, not to troll everyone. *avoids newspaper swipes*
But i gave your region a dog.

Besides, i about had it with the crap surrounding the proposal of liberating LotL and this... Why did i ever join the WASC?

[Bears Armed]

is intrinsically a different situation

Except that Defenders are then in the position of saying 'This is the truth because I said so' which is hardly the moral high ground now is it?

Oh, I see, you're one of those 'raider' types who doesn't see any moral difference between [genuine] natives and invaders; no point in bothering with you any more, then...
(And for the record, I am not a 'defender': I'm somebody who doesn't participate in that side of NS but who objects to 'invasion' on general principles as well as because of the possibility that any region I personally care about might suffer due to it. You do realise that the game includes players other than invaders & defenders, right?)

I think you'll find that I'm not actually a raider and that my WA has spent literally years looking after one Region.

Oops, sorry! But you did seem to be propagating some of the more vocal raiders' anti-defender bile there...

And of course you did realise when you joined the game that it included a raiding/defending element and that you would have to deal with that.

When I originally joined the game, as there was so little explanation of this detail in the FAQ, "No": It was really only when I got involved in the forums, a couple of months later on, that the scale of this sub-game became much more apparent to me...

[Fuaidh Mor]

Apology accepted.

You are right in suggesting that I tend towards that side of the argument though but I do retain a sense of perspective.

With regards the different game aspects, you are still here as am I, so you, like I, must have accepted the dynamic once you understood it, as must everybody else here.

[Quintessence of Dust]

Sorry if someone's already asked this.

AMOM, why did you try writing this in formal legislative language? It's obviously a very poor fit, and your clauses are all so immensely long they can hardly be called 'activating'.

Stylistically, this proposal is a clusterfuck. It'd probably work better as a straight essay.

[A mean old man]

There are those that like my writing style, and there are those that don't.

EDIT: Not entirely sure what you mean by "activating," either.

Oh Quods, please tell me you haven't just been a reincarnation of Ceorana this whole time.

EDIT: Not entirely sure what you mean by "activating," either.

Any non-operative clause is an activating clause; repeals have only one operative clause ('Repeals...') so everything else is considered activating. 'Introductory' is an alternate name.

It's just it reads like it wants to be written in prose - which, for the SC, is fine, surely - not in legislative language. And I wondered what influenced the choice to try the latter.

[A mean old man]

I suppose I could've written it in paragraph form, but the legislative language is often more visually appealing and keeps all the different points (though connected they all are) nicely separated.

EDIT: I see one has decided to return to the World Assembly.

After much debate, and many a bare-knuckle fistfights, we have decided to vote For this proposal.

But I have a request; Is there any citizen in the nation of A mean old man named Mr. Mustard? He supposedly has a sister called Pam, whom is a go-getter. Such a mean old man.

And he always shouts out something obscene!

She takes me out to look at the queen.

It's the only place that I've ever been.

[Toradorable]

I'm not voting FOR this because I don't want similtaeneous voting on SC and GA issues. I'm voting FOR this because the original liberation was worthless. Only regions which have actually been raided deserve any form of liberation.

It should be noted that this is not a rule. A region does not have to be raided, or even be involved in that part of the game, in order to be liberated. A liberation is a "resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers", not "resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers, in the event that the region has been raided"."

Never said it was a rule, this is just my opinion on the matter. I think that liberations should be used only when needed

Its okay, you're still better than your sister.. who's so good-looking that she looks like a man. *grinds his teeth at the thought*

Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag.

And, according to the voting results, most of the WA agrees with this idea.

She is the kind of a girl who'd make the news of the world, yet you could also say she is attractively built.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This time around!

Although I have to say it is my opinion and always has been that Liberations should only be used where there is overwhelming evidence of need.

[Kalibarr]

...and it passed

yay!

Why is the badge still there?

[Sedgistan]

Why is the badge still there?

Maybe we really are the Security Council

[Unibotian WASC Mission]

The region hasn't updated, so the badge hasn't updated.

Anyways, I think we should have a farewell party for the badge. *lifts a glass of brandy in the air* For egotism!

I'll go bump that topic, as its obviously not been fixed.

[Kalibarr]

it probably is the update
