WA Resolution: Repeal "Liberate Feudal Japan"

[Hockeynutville]

Repeal "Liberate Feudal Japan"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: SC#6
Proposed by: The KoZ


Description: WA Security Council Resolution #6: Liberate Feudal Japan shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Statements captured by Security Council Resolution #6: Liberate Feudal Japan (Category: Liberation) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

RECOGNISING Feudal Japan, a formerly sizeable and active region prior to its invasion in November 2007, has been restored to the recognized heirs of its founder, as anticipated by the passage of said Liberation resolution;

NOTING that forces of the FRA, TITO, Equilism, Texas, Europeia, 00000 A World Power, Yggdrasil, The United Kingdom, Crusaders of Justice, Liberty Alliance, Antarctica, and Royal Federation of Nations have accomplished this by neutralizing the act of invasion perpetrated by Catlandatopia, Fox Rite, The Cathedral, and Blades of Conquest upon the region Feudal Japan as it was cited in that resolution;

UNDERSTANDING while the region remains in contention between these opposing forces and under the threat of repeat invasion and assault, there is risk of disruption to the reclamation activities of the neutral residents of Feudal Japan as they rebuild their shattered community, as well as imposition to its desire for removing itself as a battleground so it may exist in peace;

FURTHER recognizing that the constructive act of rebuilding this region will swiftly contradict the Liberation resolution's statement that "current occupiers have left the region to rot and degrade into a mockery of its former self", which referred to its status post-invasion, pre-reclamation;

AWARE that the only hope for true peace and security being restored to this founderless region and for defusing uneasy standoff amongst the international community is by way of removing this "bone of contention" from the international stage, which requires restoring the region's ability for password protection as defence against future aggressors;

HEREBY retires Security Council Resolution #6 "Liberate Feudal Japan".

I voted yes. Being able to reinstate a password seem to be the wish of the natives and considering how invaders rallied around Groznia when the password got stripped earlier I doubt the natives will be able to have their region in peace unless they get the ability to password protect the place back.

Althogh password-protection is generally bad, invaders are worse.

Firstly, I approve of that in general and it is (as far as I am concerned with the issue at the moment) too early to pull the forces of other regions totally out of Feudal Japan. I understand and respect, that the natives want to restore their region and want to be freed from foreign forces, but in case we do as they wish too early, they have to be rescued a second time.
But what I wanted to do intentionally was, to ask you, Ananke, which preliminaries have to be achieved, until the natives can get the ability to password-protect their region again?

Well, if this repeal passes it'll be possible for anyone to put a password on the region again. How long it'll take KoZ to password protect the region depends on 1) whether he wants to set a visible or secret password and 2) how much influence either option cost compared to how much he's currently got.

I do understand some peoples' reluctance to repeal a liberation resolution. Personally I'm not too fond of passwords either, especially not secret ones. I'd much rather we'd either gotten the griefing rules back or removed the ability to set secret passwords like there was talk of as well. Anyway, liberation resolutions are so far the only tool the admins have decided to implement to combat griefings.

In regards to what to do about liberation resolutions after defenders have liberated a region I think you need to look at each case on it's own premises. Firstly, the wish by the natives in this regard should imo carry some weight with voters. 2nd my opinion on whether a repeal of a given liberation resolution is a good idea depends on the specific situation. If the Feudal Japan natives just wanted to keep their region as it is currently, e.i founderless (like Belgium chose), then I wouldn't support a repeal. In that case the region would be safer by staying stripped of password protection. However I think the Feudal Japan natives would like to refound their region to safeguard it from invaders. In that case getting password protection back is the logic choice, since without a temporary password in place I'm sure they'd have invader puppets move into the region all the time just to annoy them = no refounding, since even if all the natives move out invaders can just jump in right before the update and retake the region.

Hmm, did that answer your question? Otherwise let me know and I'll try to organize my thoughts a bit better.

I think that password-protecting the region will keep the region safe and sound, so I voted for.

I'm sorry, but to be honest, I had to read it twice: The first time yesterday evening and the second time just a few minutes ago. But this was also due to the fact that I was terribly tired yesterday and had had some beers before. Not that I was drunk, but tired and alcohol does harm to your ability to concentrate, temporarily.

But thank you for your kind and detailed answer! Now I feel like I understood the problematics and I decided to vote for the repeal as well.
