SC Resolution: Condemn Aegara

[Ananke II]

This one have reached quorum, so is likely to hit the floor in a couple of updates.

Condemn Aegara
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.

Category: Condemnation
Nominee: Aegara
Proposed by: Krioval


Description: The Security Council,

BEING an organization of the purest justice and grace,

INSPIRED by the debate involving FlagThe Weed Choked Lawn of A mean old man, FlagThe Drifting Gunslingers of Sedgistan, FlagThe Mother of WWII History Geeks, FlagThe Federal Republic of Unibotian WA Mission, FlagThe Development Arrested of Unibot, FlagThe Former TEP Chairman of Todd McCloud, FlagThe Mind of Charlotte Ryberg, FlagThe Dictatorship of Bird the Word, FlagThe Imperial Chiefdom of Krioval, FlagThe Rogue Nation of Sicopaths, FlagThe Time Lord High Council of Mehayn, FlagThe Ten Billion Fairies of Doitzel, FlagThe Smooth Travels of Station Man, FlagThe Armed Republic of Lowell Leber, FlagThe Free Republic of Afforess, FlagThe Oppressed Peoples of Asceaus, FlagThe Holy Empire of Poree, FlagThe Equilism Protectorate of Whamabama, FlagThe Empire of Mong Kai, FlagThe Doctoral Monkey Feet of Mousebumples, FlagThe Most Serene Republic of Chorridonia, FlagThe Republic of Kandarin, FlagThe People's Equanimous Republic of Naivetry, FlagThe Free Land of The Black Plains, FlagThe Kaiser of Qwendra of Kalibarr, FlagThe Player Behind The Nation of Mad Sheep Railgun, FlagThe Wielder of Vocus Cruor of Savaer, FlagThe Democratic Anarchy of Falconias, FlagThe Most Serene Republic of Improving Wordiness, and Free and Open States

NOTING that FlagThe Technocracy of Aegara overtook FlagThe Republic of Kandarin as delegate for The Rejected Realms on April 6th, 2010,

FURTHER NOTING that said nation held this position for approximately twelve (12) hours,

DEPLORING the unmitigated calamity that resulted when The Rejected Realms was under Aegara's control for such a prolonged period of time,

DISCOVERING the ejection of one hundred fifty-six (156) natives (!) from Grand Central by Aegara to put this nefarious scheme in motion,

INFURIATED that some of these nations may be unable to return to their home region, despite having been given the regional password,

RAMPANTLY SPECULATING that FlagThe Technocracy of Aegara had to be acting completely alone and on impulse, or otherwise completely alone and with premeditation,

ALSO VAGUELY UPSET about Aegara's “Repeal 'Commend 10000 Islands'”, as the repealed resolution represented the best of the Security Council,

WANTING to pin blame solidly on FlagThe Technocracy of Aegara for these travesties, but being unable to do so because this is a preambulatory clause,

CONDEMNS FlagThe Technocracy of Aegara because we all know he doesn't want any additional attention.

While I do think the proposal is rather amusing, I’m personally inclined to stomp on (e.i vote against) it as soon as it hits the floor for a couple of different reasons.

1) Aegara has already shown that he’d like getting a condemnation.
2) I think Naivetry’s draft proposal for condemning Aegara was much better than this one. It hit the right balance, so it couldn’t just be seen as a “raider” badge of honour.
3) I’m getting rather annoyed at some people’s need to drag our name into anything WA related. They probably think they’re being cute, but I’d prefer to not enable that kind of behaviour.

Edit: I like this post by Biyah on the commendation. Says what I think, but a lot clearer: forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=45562&p=1871682#p1871682

Especially this part:

In reading this, I found myself wondering if this was less about honestly condemning someone who tried to destroy the Legacy of The Rejected Realms, and more about stroking the ego of the writer, and maybe a few of the people whose names found themselves on the wet bar-napkin that was the first draft of this atrocity.

I agreee with Ananke, to me it just doesn't look like a WA proposal. It is funny though.

[Wordy]

I vote to condemn...I dont like what he did. I know he wants it but I dont care what he wants.
I want him branded by what he did.
I wish they had chosen to take a serious approach.

[Ananke II]

While I do think ejecting your own endorsers is a rotten thing to do, I also think this particular 'invasion' of TRR is rather pathetic. It's been done before and a lot better.

As I said, it's possible I would've voted for Naivetry's resolution draft, but this one fall too far outside the gameplay realm in it's wording for me to support it. Besides Kandarin had a good point that what Aegara did to his own endorsers is more worthy of condemnation than his brief takeover of TRR.

If we want to condemn him lets do it in straight-up gameplay terms, not this "*wink wink, nudge nudge* aren't gameplayers the silly ones" tone of voice.

And somehow 10000 Islands get dragged into this again.
AGAINST

[Ananke II]

Since the poll is currently 4-4 I've withdrawn my vote for the moment. Would very much prefer to vote against though.

[Walabamba]

I don't care if he wants it, I think he's done some bad things and even if it was written badly I would still like to see him condemned.

[Takaram]

No, because he wants a condemnation.

[The Colonial Fleet]

Against. It's more written to glorify their condemnation than condemn them; singing their praises as an invader rather than put them down. Plus it takes a cheap shot at the 10000 Islands.

[New Underland]

Against, for the reasons already mentioned by others.

[Ananke II]

Final tally; 6 for, 9 against, 1 delegate's prerogative.

I cast my vote against.
