UN: Max Barry Day

[Jesioneka]

In November of 2002 a man named Max Barry created a website that lets users make thier own nations........This is where we stand today.

This Document declares that every March 18 will be honored as an international holiday called Max Barry Day, in honor of the man who made and created this whole website.

I think it should be in his honour.

[repaxan]

I agree.

[Kawaroo]

Kawaroo voted for Yes!

[repaxan]

This is the strangest resolution I've seen...

I agree with SP. It can't be any other way.

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Without Max Berry, we wouldn't be playing this game.

^good point!

[The Colonial Fleet]

It's an illegal resolution that the Mods missed in their editorial duties. If they hadn't missed it before it got the necessary endorsements as a proposal, it would have been wiped.

Against

[SWeldon]

why is it illegal?

[The Colonial Fleet]

Because it makes reference to a RL person or place in a Resolution applied to NS nations. They don't allow Resolutions that break the 4th Wall.

[Private Doctors]

Well that is not good. That means the mods haven't been doing there duty!

[Mandali]

I agree that skirting the law isn't a good thing, but an exception should be made in this instance. After all, every nation and organization acknowledges its founder.

[Twobagger]

Well, the mods didn't catch it.
Either they flat out missed it, or they saw it and decided to let it be because they thought Max Barry perhaps deserved his own day.
The question: does anyone care enough to ask a moderator?

[Petalumadom]

I was scanning the NS form and one of the mods said they were going to delete it but I guess they never got around to it... either that or Max saw it and thought it was a great idea... lol

[The Colonial Fleet]

The Mods said early on that it gained backing very quickly and became a Resolution before they could delete it. I would say having a week of no proposals getting the backing to be resolutions would have something to do with them letting their guard down.

[10KI Investment Corporation]

lol... ya

But is it now undeletable?

[The Colonial Fleet]

Once it becomes a Resolution, they can only delete it by having the System Admin crawling around and ripping things out. I'm not certain if it's something that they're willing to do. Expect Repeals if they don't.

[San Juan Capital]

Favour

[Jesioneka]

In accordance with the will of the people, I voted for this resolution.

The resolution Max Barry Day was passed 6,523 votes to 3,315, and implemented in all UN member nations.
