[Submitted] Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"

[Cormac]

Repeal "Condemn The Black Riders"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal | Resolution: SC#91 | Proposed by: Cormac A Stark

---

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #91: Condemn The Black Riders shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Security Council:

Recognizing that SC#91: Condemn The Black Riders does not meet the standard of high quality that the Security Council has come to expect from such resolutions;

Noting that The Black Riders cravenly target all regions that are least capable of defending themselves and provide easy though fleeting victories which require little military skill, and not just those that "contradict or challenge their ideology or power," contrary to the claims of SC#91;

Observing that The Black Riders are completely powerless to destroy a regional community even despite the destruction of regional territory and recorded history, negating the fear of "cultural genocide" cited by SC#91;

Repudiating the assertion by SC#91 that the regions and nations of the world should be "fearful" of The Black Riders, instead challenging regions and nations to pursue the restoration of interregional peace and goodwill when such is threatened by The Black Riders;

Recalling that The Black Riders have been more comprehensively condemned by a subsequent resolution, SC#127: Condemn The Black Riders;

Determining that permitting two condemnations of The Black Riders to remain in force grants The Black Riders greater recognition before the Security Council than they deserve and creates an unwarranted climate of fear, which may be interpreted by The Black Riders as a perverse reward for their destructive behavior:

Hereby Repeals SC#91: Condemn The Black Riders.

Description: WA Security Council Resolution #91: Condemn The Black Riders shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The Security Council:

Recognizing that SC#91: Condemn The Black Riders does not meet the standard of high quality that the Security Council has come to expect from such resolutions;

Noting that The Black Riders indiscriminately target all regions that are vulnerable to attack and not just those that "contradict or challenge their ideology or power," contrary to the claims of SC#91;

Observing that the reference by SC#91 to "Operation Marathon," in which The Black Riders invaded 26 regions in one day, is now outdated and that The Black Riders have invaded many more regions in a day's time;

Repudiating the accusation of "cultural genocide" made against The Black Riders by SC#91, and noting that it is not possible for The Black Riders to destroy a regional community or its culture, only the regional territory that it calls home;

Recalling that The Black Riders have been more comprehensively condemned by a subsequent resolution, SC#127: Condemn The Black Riders;

Determining that permitting two condemnations of The Black Riders to remain in force grants The Black Riders greater recognition before the Security Council than they deserve, which may serve as a reward for their destructive behavior:

Hereby Repeals SC#91: Condemn The Black Riders.

Another attempt at repealing SC#91. Your suggestions are welcome.

Full support. It may be worth noting that they don't have weekly invasions as they did when this was passed, unless we've started counting graffiti runs as anything more than that - graffiti runs. Another point worth making, potentially, is that The Black Riders never did manage to get Region of Reunited Muslim States as a trophy? As it's the only region mentioned in that atrocious resolution, it would almost be expected that they succeeded there - right?

[Applebania]

Yeah, I like it. Only thing is that the destruction of the geographical territory may result in the region's community dissipating.

I'm not sure I want to get bogged down in the significance of their raids, given that SC#127 (which I authored) condemns them for both tag raids and longer term, more destructive raids.

The second suggestion is a good one though, and I'll likely incorporate it into the second draft.

Yeah, I like it. Only thing is that the destruction of the geographical territory may result in the region's community dissipating.

That's true, but that's ultimately up to the community. It could dissipate, but it could also hold together and re-form in another region.

I don't want to attribute more credit to The Black Riders than they're actually worth. They can't destroy a community or culture, no matter how hard they try, unless a community allows them to do so.

[Common-Sense Politics]

Like I said in Euro, I like it.

[Cormac]

Second draft is up.

I'm going to leave this up for a day or two before submitting.

[Vaculatestar]

I can't wait to see the heart attack Uni is going to have.

Anyways what about the current occupation of Anarchy? Won't that put a wrench in this? Just a thought, feel free to shoot it down with an overly long post.

[Cormac]

I'm on my tablet so concise is a must right now.

I'm not sure what Anarchy has to do with SC#91 being vague and terribly written. It doesn't mention Anarchy.
