The Office's Analysis

The at-vote resolution, "Commend Honeydewistania", is decently written and presents plenty of reasons for issuing a commendation for the nominee in a nicely structured manner. Honeydewistania has authored or co-authored no less than 20 resolutions in the World Assembly, but additionally to the sheer number of authorships, the frequent help they've provided to newer nations looking to write proposals is what really sets the nominee apart. Also tying in to WA matters is their work in the United Regions Alliance, where they helped in building a professional WA program, but this is only one organization they immensely contributed to: Prominently their accomplishments with the MT Army and Antifa in fighting fascism on NationStates are rightly highlighted by the proposal. Thus, OWL recommends a vote FOR the at-vote resolution, "Commend Honeydewistania".

Of all WA authors, Honeydew is one of the first that comes to mind. The proposal is both thorough and 1000% deserved. Full support.

SouthernSanity wrote:

Narrowly for this. Nominee has a wealth of GA authorship and smaller contributions in other areas of the game. The writing of the proposal is conceptually well organized (an improvement on the previous draft of this Commend) but does leave something to be desired in terms of style and flare.

I fully support this resolution and its commendee. Honeydewistania has been a great friend to me and also a helpful mentor when I began greater involvement within the World Assembly. So far, I have written two resolution proposals, and both times he helped me in the early stages of my writing. As this commendation mentions, he helped numerous other first-time writers as well. He consistently writes high-quality legislation, and indeed is an incredibly prolific writer in both the GA and the SC. I also had the honour of working with him in both Mariner Trench and the URA, so I can confirm that his contributions outside the WA are also noteworthy. He has been a valuable ally in the fight against fascism on NationStates as part of the MT Army, and like this commendation says, was quite instrumental in certain anti-fascist operations. Honeydewistania has proven himself to be a community leader in both the World Assembly and the greater NS world, and in my opinion has truly earned this commendation.

If a commendation is supposed to be a capstone for someone's career, it or the nominee should inspire in people more than a shrug. The lack of enthusiasm about this speaks more to me than the text of the commendation is attempting to. As it would be a waste for me to abstain, I will be voting against.

Wow. Passed some resoultions and conducted unspecified operations on behalf of the MT Army, which apparently cannot be elaborated on?
