What's a bad memory you have of a fellow nation on NationStates?

There are exactly three nations ever to be on my grudge list. One of them I will not discuss because it was a personal issue, another I think is a little much for the RMB. So I'll stick with the first one.

A few years ago I was helping a friend start a region as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and also was an advisor of its fledgling military. At the time another player had a fledgling defender region that didn't really know what it was doing, but somehow it wound up striking up a diplomatic connection with our region. That is, until that player realized that I was notorious raider Overthinkers. (In retrospect, i think that's the most important anyone outside my regions has ever thought I am.) He exploded in my friend's DMs, trying to get me and another advisor kicked out of the region because we were such bad people. Obviously this fell on deaf ears but we maintained a little mostly-IC rivalry for a while. I refounded his region eventually, though anymore I don't even remember the name.

WA: Freedom of Association

My thoughts:

1) This proposal is poorly written and lacking in details.

2) I don't see it having much to do with freedom of assembly, or it's so closely related to assembly that this proposal doesn't matter. What applies to freedom of assembly should apply to "association".

3) The second article says criminal penalties MAY be attached to joining hateful and violent associations, not criminal penalties WILL BE attached to said malicious associations. So, there is no guarantee that joining a harmful association will amount to criminal penalties. It also allows such malicious associations, as listed in the proposal, to legally exist and to accept memberships legally. In short, the second article says things and has key words, but it legally and effectively does nothing. Traitorous, violent, discriminatory, and ill-intended associations can exist legally and fully, without threat of repercussions, under this proposal.

My recommendation is to vote "AGAINST" this proposal. What do you all think?

Rap.

This used to be my go-to answer and still is true for the most part, but I was recently introduced to Hopsin, whom I found weirdly relatable.

That really hardcore punk music. It's just yelling into a mic while people with a negative amount of musical skill play random instruments in the background.

I'm pretty sure you mean ska.

WA: Long-Term Storage of Produced Waste

My thoughts on this proposal:

It's not detailed enough. There are instances in which the proposal lists out mandates or what should be done, but it neglects by who. Though well-intentioned, this proposal likely provides for too many loopholes to be effective.

I recommend voting "AGAINST" this proposal. What do you all think?

Hey there Chonkerrs! Welcome to Niamark!
