The Holiday Apocalypse
Category: Declaration | Type: Declare
Proposed by: Concrete Slab, Co-authored by: The Atlae Isles | Onsite Topic


The Security Council,

Still in shock at recent events which brought all diplomacy to a halt across the multiverse, leading to over four days of stagnation, shaking all nations and organizations to their very core,

Dismayed that this cataclysmic event initiated on the Twenty-Third day of December, occurring right as holiday festivities were reaching their peak for nearly all people in all nations,

Aghast at the sheer destruction wrought by this apocalypse, vastly outshadowing previous multiversal disasters, including the not-infrequent nuclear armageddons and zombie uprisings, and the disastrous reign of the Cosmic Moose and its fury, which dealt a significant blow to the stability of the fabric of reality,

Grateful that the World Assembly headquarters blipped back into reality shortly after the start of the event, being one of the few global hubs that came to existence, and continuing to serve as a marketplace of ideas, and for the return of all functionality with only mild delays upon the restoration of the rest of the multiverse,

Noting that, while there is a theory that purports the multiverse may have been created last Thursday, having it summarily obliterated instead was extremely problematic in regards to the holiday plans of the nations of this Council,

Acknowledging that many nations became lost in a terminal aether, with their futures uncertain, and many believing themselves to be “adrift”, “nonexistent”, or “erased”, and the lasting impact that this may have on the denizens of the universe,

Reflecting on the worry that, for a time, there was the possibility that the multiverse would be reset,

Deducing that, if this outcome had come to pass, untold chaos, lawlessness, and potentially deadly power struggles would have spread throughout the multiverse instead of the usual good tidings and assorted presents,

Lamenting the fact that, since the multiverse is a critical community for many nations, some were not able to celebrate the holidays due to the small inconvenience of the multiverse being in tatters,

Horrified at the massive damage done to the market of national artwork, wiping out tens of thousands of standing asks and bids,

Resolving that to forever commemorate and remember this time of hardship, henceforth, all nations are encouraged to take four days off of this mortal plane, abstain from all worldly activities, and engage in deep introspection, every Twenty-Third of December,

Hereby immortalized the “Holiday Apocalypse”, acknowledging it as a disaster of unparalleled scale and submitting this account of its events on the book of the Security Council for the rest of eternity, or until it is rightfully repealed.

Overview
This proposal is a declaration, which aims to officially recognise the extended downtime that occurred in late December. It declares certain key details about the event, such as its beginning on the twenty-third, as well was recognising the harm that was caused to various areas of the game. Namely, the forums were rendered inactive, and bids on trading cards were cancelled.

Recommendation
Declarations serve the function of promulgating the Security Council’s stance on some notable matter. In terms of notability, the Holiday Apocalypse certainly qualifies. It is one of the most impactful, temporary things to have happened to NationStates, which the declaration mentions, through comparison to N-Day and Z-Day. The declaration also provides a useful stance on this event, suggesting a commemoration of the event, on the time in which the event occurred. It also recognises the disaster that the Security Council would regard this multiversal disaster as being. The declaration is cleverly written in-character, with subtle nods to various aspects of the Apocalypse, such as the fears that an early backup would need to be used, losing players’ recent progress. It maintains a humorous, melodramatic tone throughout, though with genuine sadness at the annoyances facing those active in Trading Cards.

For the above reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends voting For the Security Council resolution at vote, "On the Holiday Apocalypse".

For as per IFV. I don't have a strong view on this. If some lunatic wants to start a nuclear war, they'd do it regardless.
