ACKNOWLEDGING Glen-Rhodes as a decorated defender, and a current member of the United Defenders League; the largest organized alliance of defenders in the known multi-verse; Glen-Rhodes is currently the Head Spokes-nation of the Native Rights Watch - a sub-division of the United Defenders League,

APPLAUDING the government of Glen-Rhodes in their creation of an automatically updated archive of WA resolutions at vote, which reveals the votes of individual WA nations, the votes of individual WA delegates, and the influence that standard WA members have during individual votes, broken down into percentages,

HUMBLED by the etiquette and patience expressed by Dr. Castro while debating in the chambers of the General Assembly, compounded with his openness to new ideas and his application of logic and reasoning,

CONVINCED that any nation that instills such positive change in the world deserves adequate recognition from the medium in which they conducted such change,

Strongly, strongly against.
My reasons are outlined in this post and the posts that follow.
I believe the members of the opposition further reinforce my ideas.

On second thought, AGAINST.

Note: WA currently not in TNP as of this post, and while it may return soon it's likely to jump around a bit during the coming week at least.

Against, don't know the guy.

"Commend Glen-Rhodes" was defeated 4,585 votes to 4,583.

(0.02% of the vote)

Blackshear's TNP vote was about 117 times the margin.

As far as I know, with the exception of the first few historical resolutions at the very beginning, this is the closest vote I've ever seen.
And had one "against" voted "for" it would have been a tie. And violet's computer would have blown a fuse.

The scuttlebutt on IRC was that a tie would probably be a failure to pass. Probably.

Topic moved to archival.

Voting on this resolution has ended.

Thanks to those nations who cast their votes. Your participation is a great help to the region.
