Does anyone think the WA was/is much cooler in concept than practice?

Well, half of it is. Initially, the Security Council was good in practice. People did bad things like going around NationStates ejecting native nations from their home regions for their own personal enjoyment, and they were condemned for it. Now it's viewed as "contributing to the game" which, to me, if it isn't a small, dead, inactive region, is total bs.

The General Assembly however still maintains its original purpose both in spirit and in practice. It promotes interregional good will through its resolutions in ways such as; giving criminals a fair trial, providing nations a legal means to remain neutral during a conflict between other nations, mandating the reduction of the impact that harvesting has on forests so as to prevent deforestation, etc. It's purpose remains the same now as it was in 2002 when it was part of The United Nations (instead of The World Assembly that we know it as today.)

That's my point. There is literally Zero incentive for any nations to participate in the WA if they want to do a "evil empire" or "Capitalist Dystopia" or any other type of nation that isn't just "Goodplacetolivewithzeroproblemshappeningoutsideissuessever-ia" since most of the proposals are reasonable things that make the world better. That is boring. At the very, bare, minimum, at least have a halloween event where people can/have to submit stuff like "Recognizing the legitimacy of native religions and practices irregardless to size" but when you actually read the document, it's just 1000 words on how baby sacrifice is a legitimate practice. Or ones that are "The Morality of condemning children to genetic disabilities" and have people vote on whether vat people should be a thing. This is a game/simulation where you can have thousands of nukes, have a official policy that's "Kill everyone we meet with bio weapons and drones" yet the WA is boring and mundane as hell.

And participating in the WA is optional. If playing the bad guy is your jam, then the Security Council is the place to be. You can raid regions and get recognized for the damage you do. Sure the same cannot be said of the General Assembly but it's not supposed to be bad.

However, the General Assembly can have some "bad" resolutions passed if you can convince others to back your resolution. To quote the FAQ in regards to the World Assembly:

"The World Assembly is the world's governing body. It's your chance to mold the world to your vision, by voting for resolutions you like and scuttling the rest. However, it's a double-edged sword, because your nation will be affected by any resolutions that pass. (Unfortunately you can't obey the resolutions you like and ignore the rest.) In other words, it's a hot-bed of political intrigue and double-dealing.

Your nation can join the WA, but it's not compulsory. If you remain outside, you're unaffected by its decisions. If you're ready to mix it up in international politics, though, the WA is for you.

There are two main benefits to WA membership: you can vote on resolutions, and you can give and receive endorsements to and from other nations in your region, which determines who is Delegate."

And most of the time you will not be the Delegate, i.e the person who is in charge. The other interesting thing is how the hell this fictional WA will force their will on others. What will happen if you decide not to obey? You will be ejected. Nothing more, I think.

Question
If a new card of yourself was made, which rarity would you be? Personally I think I still would stay in common or uncommon, but definitely not rare

Decent chance at legendary, or stay epic.

I'd say rare with a shot at UR, due to DV's new influence on rarity, and all the cards I'll get from Noah's giveaway :D

Hey, Rejects!

Our Breadelegate has stepped down, as you may have heard, and delegate elections have concluded with the election of Chimes!

Please endorse Jamie/Chimes and wish them congratulations/condolences. And don’t unendorse A Leaf on the Wind. She’s gotta keep her endo count up until Chimes’ is high enough.
