Ma'at Kheru: Commend Improving Wordiness

Post by Cormac »

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

Category: Commendation | Nominee: Improving Wordiness | Proposed by: McMasterdonia

Description: The World Assembly,

Acknowledges that The Serenity of Improving Wordiness is one of the most admired and universally respected nations within 10000 Islands. Since their creation in 2009, the nation has served as Minister of Labour and continues to actively serve in the Ten Thousand Island Treaty Organisation (TITO) as the 39th TITO Knight and as TITO Field Commander since November 2011.

Further Acknowledges that Improving Wordiness was bestowed the highest award & honour granted from the Government of 10000 Islands, the Heart of the Islands Award. This prestigious award was granted to Improving Wordiness due to the nation representing the embodiment of the spirit of 10000 Islands and their contribution to the continued security, prosperity and the cultural development of the region for an extended period of time.

Asserts that the military expertise, leadership capabilities and kind nature of Improving Wordiness have long been recognised in the Founderless Regions Alliance defender awards. These awards have a long tradition of awarding defender excellence & are broadly recognised as the top awards in the defender sphere. To date, the nation has been awarded the defender of the year award, the Sir Lans award on two occasions and the best newcomer of the year award.

Observes that Improving Wordiness has defended more than 440 regions to date. This seasoned veteran played a key role in the June 2010 defence of South America, the largest defence in modern times, mobilising more than 70 TITO members and an additional 30 unaffiliated nations facilitating the liberation of the region from raider forces.

Applauds Improving Wordiness’ dedication to the protection of regional sovereignty and the right of regional self determination. Under the command of this nation, TITO has successfully refounded numerous regions for their residents, most notably: The Skeleton Army, Deutschland, USA and Utopia. These regions were subsequently restored to native control.

Appreciates Improving Wordiness' positive contribution to Osiris in its early days. Specifically, through the nation The Cunning Plan of Sichuan Pepper, its efforts in providing the stabilizing conditions under which Osiris residents could elect their Delegate to form Osiris's first government without hindrance or threat from external parties. Applauding Improving Wordiness' impartiality and fortitude in the face of adversity and criticism, taking on what was a difficult and unpopular task to protect democracy.

Believes that the efforts and contributions of Improving Wordiness to 10000 Islands and numerous regions across NationStates are deserving of recognition and praise.

Hereby Commends The Serenity of Improving Wordiness.

I think most of Wordy's contributions here are strictly related to defending. While I acknowledge that Wordy is a good defender, so are a lot of other players, past and present, and I don't think Wordy's contributions stand out in comparison to many other defenders who haven't been commended and likely won't be commended. As a region, I don't think it's in our interests to vote in favor of commendations that glorify and reward defending as the sole or at least main basis for the commendation.

Additionally, while McM moderated the language related to Osiris at GRO's suggestion and my urging, I still believe it's too lopsided. Not everyone agrees that Wordy's approach as the first Delegate of Osiris, representing TITO, was the best approach for the region, and she made an effort to keep raiders out and ensure they couldn't participate in the first Delegate election insofar as she was able to do so. Those decisions ultimately led to the unstable Kemetic Republic of Osiris, and while it isn't entirely or perhaps even primarily TITO's fault the KRO was so unstable, I don't think they should be absolved of all responsibility -- let alone commended.

My personal vote is Against.
