We did it! We reached the quorum, which means we can commend TWI!
Part of me wants to vote NO because
1. The irony
2. I hate the World Assembly, specifically the Security Council.
3. Imagine if the majority of TWI voted against commending TWI? lol

Nobody ever accused me of being a genius, but I feel like if the majority of TWI voted against itself it'd be a sort of flex...maybe a weird one, but...

Also did you know DC-3s/C-47s are known as "a collection of parts flying in loose formation?" Remember that the next time you're on a vintage DC-3 Martenyikan bush flight!

Or it’d signal to the rest of the WA that we don’t want it or are too arrogant to accept it, which are not depictions I think we would want to have. I was thinking about voting against too, but I feel like it’d be very prone to misinterpretation

"Our region collectively hates the WA, so we vote against ourselves to prove a point"

As a rule I vote against every WA resolution.

Well, if we did that, as Ainslie said, we'd be seen as either arrogant or not wanting it. Either way, it will make us look bad. Oh you can argue for humility for the latter, but it can be interpreted in many ways. Better for us to vote along with it.

Also, a commendation could help with TWI's recruitment, don't you think?

Those are all fair points; I never planned to vote against it unless the majority of the Isles do, primarily because, like Nhoor, I usually vote against all resolutions, primarily commendations and condemnations, as apart of my philosophy. That being said, I'd rather abstain or CTE before ever voting for a commendation/condemnation lol

Having the flag of the good ol' US of A (or a bootleg knock-off) for your nation (bonus points if you have some iteration of the united states in your nation name) on this site correlates pretty heavily with being bad at WA proposals, roleplay, and espousing super immature or weirdly fanatical views on the forums

Me from almost a year ago is correct yet again

URL was the worst person that's ever joined the region and there's no competition even close

what about that guy with the chemical missile subs and hardtack? Or was that the same person, they all sort of blend together

The food I'm making now would really fit right in in the 1943 Soviet Union. Mashed potato, with no potato, just flour

Different guy, he was obnoxious but he wasn't really all there in the head so he gets a slight pass.

URL was just an ignorant jackass top to bottom

She was pretty cool tbh and I'm sure if she was around still we'd get along great
