I like the idea, definitely a topic worth pursuing. I am not a fan of the essay format it seems to be taking. I’m surprised this didn’t get more drafting suggestions to that effect, I haven’t really seen one done on this style that is on its way to quorum. Against

So this topic once again gets axed (no pun intended). Our own Tlomz repealed a similar resolution years ago, I find it slightly poetic the issue is back and we have another homegrown author tackling it. For

I can’t help but think if a broader approach were taken there’d be opposition based on how complicated and disruptive that would be. Some would be asking for more piecemeal solutions. I believe that we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and better versions of bad fuel are still...

I believe I understand the goal of the resolution but this is simply a situation where I don’t agree with the execution. I don’t think I like making member states automatically have to do this, copyright law should be impacted by each nation’s law, and in some cases, some of this stuff...

I almost feel like this might work better as a declaration. I’m very cautious about resolutions that intrude and contradict either the wide variety of roleplay that exists, magical creatures probably do exist because frankly, everything does in RP to some extent, but to me one of the things...

Given the simplicity of this proposal, I would like to request the Speaker schedule a vote, and suspend the formal debate period. Please be aware of the timing when scheduling this vote, we should have enough time for a normal length vote provided the vote begin quickly enough. Thanks! @Matzerati

Almost two years ago NationStates changed in a huge way with the advent of the Frontiers and Strongholds update. They made a splash with the creation of the first successful frontier, The Wellspring, a region that our forces quickly mobilized to take over and for 12 glorious hours, we had more...

Your request is accepted and the embassy will be constructed in due course.

Midterm Update I am pleased with the progress our team has made so far in developing the FA Digest. We're covering a lot of ground, covering essentially a year of events to keep the region informed, and set the stage for periodic future releases of this kind. The practice we put into this now...

Then I wish you luck in devising those fixes and look forward to seeing what you come up with. But at this point it strikes me as a band-aid. If your system is built on procedure adding more procedural rules creates more opportunities to game the system. We have to increasingly write longer and...

I did, and I reported on this to the region by the end of that first term, in case you missed it. That should probably take care of your questions. To put another way though, it’s not that the issues are procedural, it’s that the way we chose to go about this creates certain conditions and...

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen two topics thrown into the same resolution like that. Obviously you would do another abortion resolution to cover abortion. I’m surprised this was deemed okay.

Why are you throwing abortion into this? I’m sensing some deliberate effort to pull something off here, and I can’t quite figure out what the angle is. This feels kind of Trojan horsey to me and I’m not buying it. Against

I would like to note that @Lord Dominator maintains an election commissioner masking despite having vacated office and it should be removed. Thank you!
