Against.

Boston Castle fortunately caught the point I mentioned on the WA forum, but to make it more clear; as is, the draft doesn't really do anything. It requires Member-States maintain dark-sky preserves indefinitely, but also allows them to be declassified arbitrarily. I can't imagine how one would...

I have done exactly so every time you or someone else involved in the repeal have repeated the claim, and I have done so several times. I have explained this publicly and privately on countless occasions. As for what I've told Cretox, that is in fact the case, as reflected in the aforementioned...

Against.

This is not true. I have said as much several times. I have never said anything that would imply that I would remove the blocker after repeal, and I have specifically shut this idea down several times, directly to you at least once. You have said this enough that I am only able to assume it is...

This has been submitted, if anyone's curious: https://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_view_proposal/id=greater_cesnica_1610514451 My prior argumentation stands, for the record:

Going to give this one an accept. It's a solid draft. Good luck.

A thread for smaller bits of writing and worldbuilding that don't quite deserve their own thread. Opening moments to larger conflicts that don't need, or, at least, aren't going to get full threads to themselves, a snapshot of history that's colored your character's actions for decades, or maybe...

I don't see anything that stands out to me as an issue, ICly or OOCly. I'll throw an Accept at it for the moment.

Title: Imperial Diplomatic Overseer, (Marrov: Raeseralim-Mivari) Age: 51 Religion: None Occupation: Leader of the Imperial Division of Foreign Policy and Diplomatic Action Education: First Imperial Academy, New Kol; Civics, Applied Xenostudies Best Skills: Argument, International Law Birthplace...

Karask Hegemony goes roughly here, if you don't mind.

I'm quite enjoying the quote blocks, though I feel they're a bit large at times, especially when there's more than one on a page.

Accept. Definitely worthwhile legislation and nothing in particular jumps out at me as a problem.

There's nothing about 'letting in' hostile forces, the clause appears to be targeted towards forces already in position; IE, A nuclear reactor goes up when your missile hits it, and the enemy moves to mitigate meltdown contamination; you aren't allowed to target the people mitigating the...

The same could easily be said of your draft, and, in fact, has been. The draft is quite short, and offers no actual, substantive criticism of the target, in favor of an attempted takedown of capital punishment in general. It's an argument to ban capital punishment, which would be technically...

Ritual sacrifice is presently prohibited by WA Law, but sacred sites that previously played host to such shouldn't lose protection on those grounds alone. The demonization of Aztec and Inca religions here in RL as inherently monstrous or evil, thus justifying the destruction of virtually their...

Nation: Tinfect I pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war against the North Pacific. I understand that...

I don't think this draft is quite ready for consideration by this program at this time. It has undergone a substantial rewrite immediately prior to this thread's posting, which, aside from effectively rendering prior refinement efforts null, has completely altered the focus of the draft. I...

Tentative Accept. There doesn't seem to be much horribly wrong with the draft as-is, and the minor issues I can see can be hammered out in drafting fairly easily.

Reject. The argumentation of the repeal is near-entirely arbitrary or speculative, and where it isn't, it fails to take into account the restrictions on capital punishment imposed by both the target and prior legislation on the subject. The repeal presents an easily deconstructed strawman, and...

Yeah, that's on me, it's been in the version I have on my computer for a few versions, but I'm a fucking idiot and never added it to the forum version.

For, obviously.

I'll accept my nomination for Vice Delegate.

Please, chill out with writing Drafts. Take some time to debate in the GA and get a feel for how things work.

The 'flaws' you mention, uh, to say the least, are not particularly well grounded. Independent Civil Action is a legal term that can be safely presumed by Member-States to refer to whatever such mechanisms for such exist within their jurisdiction. In other words, the victim has the right to...
