I had originally vote against due to my stance on C&Cs being more comprehensive. I then changed my vote to for because I thought "why not?". But Cormac just posted in the on-site thread that TEP is actively trying to sway voters in other GCRs, therefore I've changed my vote back to against.

Bold of you to assume cormac isn't full of shit

Not being bold when I know he's telling the truth Aclion, so why don't you stop assuming I'm stupid.

Woah there. Chill out, both of you. o.O

Also, point of inquiry: What exactly is bad about trying to sway voters?

[Jabberwocky]

I do that every election

You mean besides WA voting sovereignty? I mean, I know we are probably the only region with a law to that end. And now I realize I'm acting hypocritical........ You're right, I'm wrong. The only real reason I'm against this one is because its not as comprehensive as I wish it would be.

[Louisistan]

I seem tp be missing some details here. Campaigning for a WA issue is pretty much standard procedure and indeed I myself have participated in TNP's WA Debate when it came to the infamous "Liberate California". And 10ki doesn't have a law against it either. Everyone is welcome to come here and campaign for their issue. We merely have a law against mass TG camapaigns.

I was talking about that law Louis, the Respect Our Vote law that's in our law library.

[Twobagger]

I would have liked to vote in favor of this resolution. Unfortunately, as written, I don't see a good reason why anyone outside of TEP should care about the accomplishments listed in the resolution. Further, it isn't apparent to me that the accomplishments listed are all that outsized. We have a few people in our region's history who have made similar contributions to our region, and I would imagine most large regions could say the same.

I have therefore voted against.

So did TEP send mass telegrams to the other GCRs then?

[Sorya]

I vote in favor. I think that these are all commendable actions and I don't see any reason why the individual shouldn't be commended for being an above and beyond the East Pacifican and diplomat to other regions. I do not believe that TEP's attempts to campaign should even be a factor in this, and I certainly don't think it disqualifies the candidate from commendation. Voting against to spite TEP seems petty, especially when they aren't necessarily doing anything wrong. At the end of the day, the biggest loser would be the candidate and the author.

Edit: Shhh I totally wasn't an hour late on this

Emphasis on the bold Sorya, that's not why I voted against.

NNot that it's important, but I think this is where my confusion came from
