For If the offense was unrelated to the game, I would agree with those in opposition, but this was an action against an at-risk member of this community, for whom we all have a responsibility, as adults, to protect. Failing in that responsibility is egregious enough, but, failing as a community...

This proposal is a bit convoluted and not very clear in its intent. It fails to cite any parameters for the proposed project and gives only vague indications of the project’s eventual benefits to member nations. Without these things, the project has the potential to become a vast and costly...

For Noting that this is a Roleplay Condemnation, and that the RP community is in wide support of both the nominee, and this proposal.

This is a Roleplay condemnation, and since they aren’t that common, some explanation: A condemnation of this nature is designed to acknowledge both the outstanding roleplay of the nominee, as well as their contributions to the community while out of character. The form the nomination takes...

For (still) Being opposed to capital punishment does not justify being willfully blind to the many, many flaws in 443.

The Ministry is nearly equally divided about this repeal. Among Ministry members, there is a majority objection to the practice of capital punishment, but the GA has elected to maintain this punitive option for member nations. GA#443 Preventing the Execution of Innocents (the target of this...

Against. I'm for keeping SC1 for posterity, since it was the first. Kind of tough to accept the "Believing two condemnations is illogical for a region that, as well as its allies, is no longer active" argument when we just passed SC269 despite that being true of the region then, as well. Since...

Against This one seems a little narrow in scope outside of their contributions to TEP.

On that note, changing my vote to For (provided this passing doesn't create some manner of double jeopardy)

Thanks @Kuriko, appreciate you providing context to your proposal, and for citing your exceptional research on the subject. It is my normal practice to try and drill down into the veracity of all SC proposals, mainly because I don't know who's who among those who submit them. I hope you won't...

Thanks for clarifying. It would help to know that they were in the game at the time. Histories get embellished over time, so I like to get right back to the source material whenever possible. Also matters to me that information is coming first hand, from someone who experienced it. This is...

Population = length of time a Nation has existed, and a nation with a 2.3B population has not existed long enough to have actually been in NS when the original was passed or the alleged incidents took place. That the person is the delegate is irrelevant. They are speaking to events that took...

Against - Agree, the original should be repealed if the Condemnation is to be amended. - Given the age of the original, it's awfully tough to verify these new accusations without corroboration. - Maybe this is a technicality, but the nation from which this proposal comes only has a population of...

For

For In the hope that this all goes away, forever.

Against (still) ...and regardless of how many variations are put forward on this theme.

After deliberation, I'm back AGAINST (and really should learn not to go against my first instincts). I think this proposal is pointless.

Did a bit more research last night, and that statement is not at all true. Satellite launch technology and ICBM technology are pretty much the same thing. So much so that satellite launch technology is considered in most jurisdictions as a weapons technology (including in the US: Part 122 of the...

Withdrawing the above application, and have withdrawn the repeal. I overlooked existing legislation #344, which covers most of the concerns I had, and bridges the gap between Don't Kill the Poor Act and GAR#38. Honest Mistake.

Fair enough. I do like it for the most part. Definitely requires a follow up to address the elephant in the room, but I'll change my vote to FOR

Okay, a souped up bulldozer with a cannon then. I genuinely think you are both downplaying the likelihood that this technology would immediately be considered for its military applications, if widely shared. The first ICBM launch and the first Sputnik launch took place within months of each...

@Marcus Antonius I agree, but that's not addressed anywhere in this proposal. That's why the omission concerns me.

Well, I'm referring to it specifically as it applies to rocket technology. The addition of a weaponized payload to a rocket is the easy part. A tank is just a metal car with a cannon (not rocket science). Rocketry is a pretty complex tech but there is a commonality in things like thrust...
