Seems like this is (or at least gives the superficial appearance of) yet another attempt to drag down the serious purpose of the SC into a useless frivolity, and will hamper later attempts to get important anti-invader SC resolutions passed.

[Anime Daisuki]

He seems to be a pro-invader mouthpiece. And a very rude fellow on the NS forums. To my knowledge 3 mod complains have been made against him for trolling and flaming.

Adding to that he's one of those who called for removing 10000 Islands' commendation. So I will vote AGAINST commending him. If anything, he should be condemned.

[Guy]

Regardless of that, if you can't write a serious resolution stating why we should commend him, then NO.

[Wordy]

I agree......give us exceptional reasons for what is supposed to be an exceptional award. I vote no.

[Vortmetor]

So would this type of Resolution be similar to a filibuster?

[Echolilia]

Yes, only completely different.

What do you mean?

[Vortmetor]

basically, if for example they knew someone wanted to post something to kick out a delegate who has invaded a nations. The delegate instead posts a BS Resolution to prevent anything productive from happening giving them more time to gain power and preventing the invaded nation from doing anything counter productive to their cause.

To be fair I don't think there's any ulterior motives like that behind this resolution. It's a fairly typical Yelda SC resolution. He tend to post amusing/absurd proposals every so often. This one's just the first one to reach quorum, since he doesn't campaign for his SC proposals.

Hmm, I do wonder who campaigned for it though.

[Echolilia]

Ah, I see. Do Liberate resolutions not take precedence? That would be a problem.

[Elite]

Pointlessness at a pointless level.
Sure, the That Place Over There proposal was pointless, but that was actually funny.

Can't say it much better than that. In addition it makes people ignore the GA as well.

[Petalumadom]

This is one of the lamest things I've ever seen put forward to the WA.

[The Colonial Fleet]

I don't see a reason to commend him, but I think his forum stance is more to do with in general being against C&C resolutions than anything else. He's old school WA and doesn't like all the invader-defender banter creeping into the Security Council discussions.
