Politicization of Sanctions
If you've read the last 10 pages of the "GOON spy orders" thread in World Affairs, then you know that GOONS asked Red Dawn to sanction Methrage and/or Nicholai on September 5, and that on September 6 NPO and CoJ (the two senate-holders from Red Dawn) agreed that Methrage is not a rogue and would not be sanctioned as such. You also know that GOONS asked NPO to sanction Methrage again on September 23 and was denied again, and in that discussion NPO noted that GOONS has a lot of nerve asking Red Dawn for help after raiding the piss out of the Red team, attacking innocent Red nations as a political affront to NPO and Red Dawn.
Even though Red Dawn has demonstrated through logs that pre-date GOONS's logs by 17 days that we based our decision solely on our determination that Methrage is not a rogue, GOONS continues to claim that CoJ and NPO are not sanctioning Methrage because we don't like GOONS.
If you've passed 10th grade English, you're familiar with the term "dramatic irony." In case you've forgotten, here ya go: "Dramatic irony is when the words and actions of the characters of a work of literature have a different meaning for the reader than they do for the characters. This is the result of the reader having a greater knowledge than the characters themselves."
GOONS claims that the Cult of Justitia is politicizing its Senate obligations/power, but in a bit of dramatic irony, they do not know that the Cult of Justitia abhors politicization of Senate obligations.
In July, the former GOONS member Smacky went rogue on LRA King, leader of Red Elite Defence (RED), an inexperienced Red alliance. CoJ stepped in and counter-attacked the rogue, but after one round of wars we let him go (we are optimists). Smacky returned in the last week of July, and attacked me for ordering the defense of RED. I am not nuke-capable, but Smacky had been dropped into my range by our defense of Red and still had nukes (he maintained nuke capability by continued tech deals with GOONS even after they were made aware of his war status). When he attacked, I requested sanctions on him, and eventually made my way to MCXA when I got to Blue.
<Schattenmann> IS raunchero [the MCXA Senator] around?
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> nope

<Schattenmann> nuke rogue
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> hmmm, I'll bring it up to our HC, but tbh honest I'm going to reccomend we don't sanction him, I think you should know why
<Schattenmann> No I don't know why
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> well you posted what was pretty much a smear campaign against us this spring on the OWF
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> I have a hard time doing things for ppl who have cuased MCXA good amount of harm
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> A* good amount of harm
<Schattenmann> Well if your duties as a Senate-holding AA are subject to petty bickering then I'd recommend you cram a bar of soap into your throat and leave it there til bubbles come out of your mouth riding on your last breath
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> did you seriously suggest I just commit suicide?
<Schattenmann> No I suggested you cram soap into your throat
<supercoolyellow[mcxa]> you can feel free to ask one of the other blue alliances with a senator
Oh, yeah, CoJ is real big into political sanctions. Politicization of sanctions doesn't make me so mad that I say crazy crap at all.
The assertion that CoJ takes pleasure in or participates in politicization of sanctions is, frankly, retarded. I am diametrically opposed to politicization of sanctions; politicization of sanctions drives me insane. Having been the victim of politicized Senates in more than one instance since 2007, I will never politicize sanctions. Anyone that suggests otherwise is--quite simply--a liar, and woefully ignorant of my strong character and values on the subject.
As far as telling SCY to cram soap down his throat; I definitely could have handled my nerdrage at the politicization of sanctions better, I don't want him to kill himself, and I am sorry about the implication. We've had disagreements and I am still highly annoyed by the explicit tit-for-tat denial, but SCY brings a lot to the CN table with his World Affairs topics.
