Commend Twobagger
Category: Commendation | Target: Twobagger
Proposed by: Jakker | Onsite Topic

The Security Council,

Affirming Twobagger as a nation that has spent years prioritizing values of community and region-building through their involvement in regions such as 10000 Islands,

Highlighting that records of the nominee's achievements are not publicly accessible and hoping that this proposal can serve to document several of them for future generations,

Applauding the 300+ times in which Twobagger was involved in defenses and liberations for regions in dire need. These actions supported sovereignty and ensured that hundreds of regions could govern how they saw fit. These efforts include:
  • Served as a role model of defending activity for many months in 2019 which inspired other defending nations to participate and led to Twobagger being recognized as the best nation for defense engagement that year;
  • Helped to ensure that The East Pacific went back to rightful members of the community after the region dealt with a government coup in 2019;
  • Coordinated troops of 10000 Islands to defend Philippines and participated in the siege of Anontia in 2019;
  • Led troops for 10000 Islands as a Tactical Officer in the overtaking of The Iron Confederacy in 2019, a region that promoted fascist ideals;
  • Contributed in the refounding of The Skeleton Army in 2012, a region that has been commended by this body;
  • Assisted in the organization of the resistance movement to bring Great Bights Mum back to the delegacy of The North Pacific in 2008 after the government was couped by Lewis and Clark;
Praising the nominee’s innovation to strengthen military operations in 10000 Islands and across defending. These accomplishments have left a lasting, positive impact on defending across the world because Twobagger not only developed a new military strategy that is still used today, but also ensured sustainability in defender leadership. These efforts include:
  • Oversaw the tactical officer transition of THX1138 as well as assisted in the officer training of Mingulay isle;
  • Designed technology that detected and stopped several foreign threats attempting to overtake a region which would have likely been successful otherwise;
  • Developed the military tactic for defenders to change delegacies of raiding nations during foreign occupations to reduce the pace that additional regional officers could eject nations. This approach also helps to maintain morale for nations in the occupied region and those involved in the defending;
Acknowledging the leadership of the nominee to build community within 10000 Islands and go above and beyond to look after other regional members such as:
  • Served as a senator for five terms and wrote a proposal to ensure that members of 10000 Islands' government received salaries in the form of the regional currency. This served as a foundation for the Wage Reform Act, as well as a proposal that inspired the Chief Executive to make government voting records public information;
  • Participated in several recruitment events like "Team Battles" to help the region grow in population, including the recruitment of future Senator Isles of Nixon as well as a future 10000 Islands Knight, at a time when automated efforts to recruit nations did not exist;
  • Engaged in multiple leadership initiatives for community integration including Mayor of Taco Island, which involved facilitating games and activities to bring nations together as well as Speaker for the Mayor Shelter Political Party, which included encouraging other nations to engage in regional politics;
Recognizing the nominee’s authorship of an essay that detailed their change in regional alliances and outlined considerations that a nation should make when faced with such difficult decisions,

Declaring that this nominee has showcased dedication to building regional communities and has left a lasting impact that warrants public recognition,

Hereby Commends Twobagger.

Overview
This proposal seeks to commend its nominee for their contributions to defending gameplay and region-building in 10000 Islands, citing work in government positions, involvement in defense and liberation operations, combatting coups, and developing new military tactics.

Recommendation
"Commend Twobagger" is overall a well-constructed commendation of a deserving nominee. The nation in question has substantially contributed to both 10000 Islands and defending at large, and has left a lasting positive impact on defending gameplay. Alongside their extensive direct involvement in highly notable operations, this nation is undoubtedly worthy of recognition by the Security Council, and this proposal makes a compelling case for just that.

For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends voting For the at-vote Security Council proposal, "Commend Twobagger".

Against; was a bit unsure on this vote, but I don't feel the reasons given for the commend don't portray the nominee as especially worthy overall.
 
Unworthy? How so? I also find it ironic that what appears to be (in my view) a similar kind of commendation written by the like of Kuriko for defenders that are considered more “pure” (for lack of a better word) is being opposed by some of the same people who would be on board for those commendations. Methinks something else is going on here.

For

I stand by all of this, but that doesn't matter. Fucking TBH.

Against


The penguin is right. It is fine on the merits, and if TSP's argument is accurate, then we have to start doing a lot of things differently around here.
