Commend Yelda[Archived]

Ahoy there, TNP!

Commend Yelda
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.


Category: Commendation
Nominee: Yelda
Proposed by: A mean old man

Description:
There be a sillious soul among us today,
Among us today in the great WA,
Who brightens our day when our day has gone gray,
With proposals and humor and Knootian “gay spray,”

His names be of many of his puppet empire,
Like Yelda or Hiriaurtung or New Leicestershire,
And Mad Sheep and Glog and Aundotutunagir,
With syllables so strange and so marvelous to hear,

Iron Felix was once a prized face of he,
With its rather keen interest in necromancy,
And its massive devotion to the NSUN,
long before the World Assemblian opium den,

Lately we see him with Arororugul,
Assuring that things here will never grow dull,
He also was present with Mad Sheep Railgun,
Keeping things thoughtful yet awfully fun,

He amuseth us greatly with that he creates,
Such as the insertion of popcorn in serious debates,
Our good old friend Yelda will often play the big fool,
Thus helping things from growing too nasty and cruel,

His resolutions be many and proposals be more,
Nineteen have been passed and more are in store,
Clever they are whether helpful they may be,
And some give a great laugh to both you and me,

While silly he can seem and mock he may do,
Great wisdom and insight does sometimes break through,
Analogies and comments on intentions and deeds,
And in enlightening minds he often succeeds,

So come one and come all, witness this spectacular man,
As he entertains the WA however he can,
We dance a jig of jubilant joy,
In honor of a truly hilarious boy,

A pat on the back and a cheer of acclaim,
While we give good old Yelda his moment of fame,
Remembering you since nearly antiquity,
Yelda, the World Assembly hereby does COMMEND thee.

And, for your convenience (and if you're wondering what the hell this is and whether I was under the influence of recreational drugs when I wrote it), here's a telegram I sent out to yer delegate a while ago:

Greetings, honorable delegate of the World Assembly!

I come to you today to humbly ask your support for a resolution to commend a highly active long-term member of our community here in NationStates.

For over six years, Yelda, also known as Iron Felix, Mad Sheep Railgun, “Glog,” Hiriaurtung Arororugul, Aundotutunagir, “0rville Redenbacher,” and countless other puppet names, has been entertaining the WA with both serious and hilarious proposals/resolutions. It is hard for me to describe all of what he has done for us, because it covers such a long time span and is so massive a list of deeds that a single telegram or commendation could not summarize all of it without becoming an encyclopedia. Therefore, I have taken as much as I can from his greatest accomplishments over the course of his years here and some of the best of his most recent work and written up this poem – yes, that’s right, I’ve written a poem – as a commendation.

Yes, that is very different from my usual work in the NSWA. Why? Yelda is a very different character.
Yelda takes a strong stance on the need for things to be light-hearted and humorous. A “normal” commendation would hardly have been appropriate. Also, a “normal” commendation would have greatly disappointed him, and he may not have supported it. Therefore, I have placed all the serious detail and reasoning for commending Yelda that would have been within a normal commendation within the hilarious, ridiculous, rhyming structure of this poem.

"Commend Yelda"

Over the years, Yelda has authored and passed 19 resolutions (old NSUN and new NSWA). He has co-authored and worked on a number of other resolutions. The number of proposals he has written, both joke proposals and serious proposals, is impossible to determine.

His antics in the forums have calmed down immensely hostile and OOC debates, created hilarious roleplays for our nations’ ambassadors to cavort in, and, overall, made everything in the forums and

Oh, and “gay spray” (from the resolution) has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Hopefully from what I have showed you and, should you have had experience with Yelda in the past, you will be able to give your approval to this proposal and give Yelda the commendation that his incredible devotion to the world of NationStates has earned him.

Thank you very much for your time; I understand that this message was quite long.
