Commend East Malaysia
Category: Commendation | Target: East Malaysia
Proposed by: Aivintis | Onsite Topic


The Security Council,

Recognizing East Malaysia (EM) as one of the ancient bastions of nation- and region-building within The East Pacific (TEP), maintaining a strong and influential presence over a period of two decades and multiple government systems, from the Charter of The East Pacific to the Elders system and finally the modern Concordat,

Praising EM’s work during and after the Empire invasion of TEP in 2008, submitting to the Empire a list of non-negotiable demands for peace which, when rejected by the occupying forces, led them to advocate for military action to take back the region; EM’s courage in standing against the Empire led to their election as one of the three Elders of TEP under the next government, largely serving to stabilize the region and oversee the peaceful and democratic transition into the current regime,

Acknowledging over 19 years of administrative service on EM’s part in the background of TEP, developing new technologies for government use, such as automated systems for regional interface and task organization, regularly overhauling dispatch informational systems amd templates, producing numerous graphics for government recruitment and use, maintaining and updating regional services for discussion, adapting community meeting spaces for inclusion of subcommunities, reforming community structure for effective management of non-governmental services, and other innovative leaps,

Applauding the initiative taken by EM to curtail the negative effects of Fedele’s 2019 coup attempt, through their membership in the Small Magisterium Cafeterium, a legislative resistance bloc, their quick action securing regional services and infrastructure for the legitimate government, and their setting of the Magisterium’s agenda for the days to follow, which would experience a burst of activity to rebuild and massively reform the government from what remained following the crisis,

Celebrating the tireless efforts of EM to ensure the efficient operation of the Eastern Pacific News Service in 2020, when EM stepped up and not only kept the newspaper from falling into disarray, but increased production, expanding the representation of the Urth and Valsora communities, meeting more successful quotas, and pursuing the Midnight Star Magazine, an initiative which converted EPNS into a sleek, visual format,

Lionizing the inception of the Support The East Pacific (STEP) program in 2021, a project designed to explain all facets of TEP to new residents in order to better acclimate them to its institutions and encourage active participation; these were the first detailed, and first official, guides to advertise the Valsora and Urth communities, providing easy navigation over multiple dispatches, which were also the first to incorporate both East Pacifican-produced artwork and utilitarian graphic designs in TEP history,

Extolling the massive protections of political rights introduced by EM in the Magisterium in 2021, which elevated the status of apolitical TEP non-citizen residents within the justice system, previously denied due process by an elitist system treating them as second class, and repaired the relationship between the government and some of the disillusioned governed, allowing for more community unity and integration,

Honoring their creation, constant maintenance, and frequent updating of an encyclopedia platform for the publication of informational materials on one’s nation, which has enabled the documentation of thousands of years of history on dozens of nations in the world of Urth, currently holding over three thousand articles,

Appreciating the contributions to such documentation that EM has repeatedly pushed, such as in 2019, with the inception of a map of time zones within Urth, which is still maintained by other nations today, as well as the development of a master list of languages and species, including an evolutionary tree of the latter, building upon old, abandoned lists and bringing together information from a wide array of nations to form what then became the current encyclopedia articles on such,

Admiring the rich, island culture of the Free Pax States, the Urthian name for East Malaysia, stemming from the multi-species nation’s diversity, known for its rice-based cuisine, history of scientific and philosophical advancement, and the worship of the ancient panther god Mun, a god further included in globe-spanning Yuserist religious canon as a fallen god of creation,

Lauding the extensive documentation of the uniquely constructed language of Kilumi, the language of the Free Pax States, with its flowing phonemes and artistic script unlike any seen on Urth or the multiverse, and

Believing the actions of EM and their effect on TEP to have invariably altered the course of East Pacifican and Urthian history and positively affected the region’s residents again and again for years passed and years to come,

Hereby Commends East Malaysia.

I still feel this mostly reads in such a way that the nominee could be considered to be commendable within TEP, but I don’t see anything I can grasp that applies to the game as a whole. This isn’t necessarily the end of the world, if the work internally is substantial enough to impact the region and therefore indirectly affect how they interacted and engaged in the game. These listed things no doubt have been quite significant to TEP and it’s maintenance and operations, but this connection to TEP’s outward initiatives and how those things enabled TEP to be a part of the wider game are unclear. I appreciate there’s a lot of time spent detailing the RP work as well, and this section seems to do a better job of explaining the connective tissue that makes these accomplishments significant. I wish the rest of the commendation did the same.

There were a few people who shared feedback like this, I think it could have used more time to polish it up. Given the nominee has been part of the region for so long, and there’s a broad array of things to mention, it could have used a bit more work in my opinion. I won’t deny, also, that I was a bit put off by some of the distracting discussion that came out about the nominee’s conduct outside the game, and wasn’t enthused by the defense offered. I’m not sure that whole thing is enough to reject this commendation outright, but it served as an example to me of the head down, push forward approach that seemed to be utilized in submitting this commendation, that feedback sometimes seemed to be treated as obstacles to be eliminated and wasn’t necessarily handled with complete understanding of where it came from, or what was being said. I think this was just a weird time for a lot of people and perhaps more time should have been invested in getting it right. I’m not comfortable with where things have been left at this point, so all I can do is say no, not yet, keep trying.

The proposal has been removed/delayed for "the liberation and injunction of Alcatraz by request of Vorhollah and Westinor." This thread will be reopened once the author has resubmitted their proposal.
