You expressed an interest in this. I'm just beginning the discussion here. Help me find the history and I'll start writing.

While not ASBS, I thought I might attempt to help (or hinder, depending on how you view it).
Anyway, here's what I found from a quick google search.

"Lotlanthanderamore took control of the region in April, 2003, but asked 1 Infinite Loop to take over temporarily in May, 2003. Lotlanthanderamore never returned to NationStates.

1 Infinite Loop took the delegacy on May 25, 2003, per the request of Lotlanthanderamore, and established the East Pacific forum on May 31, 2003 to promote regional activity. A few months later, a Griefer Armada took power using a UN Multi ring of over eighty nations, but the NationStates moderators restored Loop after a full investigation. To facilitate regional defense after a number of invasion attempts, Loop ratified the Articles of Confederation of the East Pacific on October 31, 2003, and established the East Pacific Confederation, a constitutional monarchy.

The East Pacific developed a strong off-site forum community during 2003, which soon became known for its roleplaying activities. The region functioned without incident until 2005, when 1 Infinite Loop convened a constitutional convention to facilitate citizen involvement in government. Codex drafted the Charter of the East Pacific at the constitutional convention with the assistance of Wachovia, Packilvania, Free Pacific States, 1 Infinite Loop, Kelssek, and Gnidrah. The East Pacific Charter provided for a more representative constitutional monarchy and superseded the Articles of Confederation on February 18, 2005."


"(1 infinite loop formerly served as the United Nations delegate of the East Pacific) Near May First of 2003 the nation of Infinite Loop arrived in the East Pacific, seeking to settle down in a small and sleepy region, however by the end of the month, dreams of Rest and relaxation were cast to the winds, as on May 25th Infinite Loop became Delegate. Three years later, on May 25th, 2006, Loop again hoped for rest. However, the day after turning over the Delegacy to Gnidrah, Loop was appointed Grand Vizier of the East Pacific, destroying his peaceful rest."

Let's get Pack and EM to help with the background. I think many of the others are not available.

I think Loop is an appropriate nation to honor in this way, but I am not the historian of those times. I'll PM them.

I am unsure of what anyone wants to know. The above is a fairly good representation of what happened. I can give more insight on early RP, the ADN attempts at power, and the original convention if needed.

I thought it might be good to know and/or add too.

Huh.

Shit.

...

He'll probably be back. Meanwhile, it seems your commendation achieved around 50 to 60% of the approvals it needed. Once things have calmed down I'll help you out with that and make sure it attains quorum this time.

I noticed this in one of the writings Bach has been putting in the University Library.

from "How Should You Govern a Super-Region?"
 
It's also evident to me that how pleasant a region is for its players isn't completely a function of the type of government either. While the obvious examples of the results of the NPO and the NPD, both of whom seemed to almost discourage participation, will immediately leap from the keyboards of those who are blindly pro-democracy, I will cite a counterpoint: 1 Infinite Loop. While most of his delegacy he was more or less a government unto himself, all my experiences in the East Pacific region and on its forum were quite enjoyable; I have no complaints about my visits. By being permissive on speech and press, and fostering a fun and co-operative environment, Loop has held onto his throne at least as much by popularity as by the ban button and enforcement of endocaps. Still, I will fall on the side of democracy here, though not blindly. It's just easier to keep a free region than it is to find a good dictator, so a free region is the better route to take.

I didn't want to give you an early congrats in case it didn't make it, but it looks like Commend ASBS will pass!

There's a little over a day's worth of voting left, but given the huge difference in for and against votes, I doubt the tide could change.

Congratulations to Ramaeus for writing a soon to be successful SC bill, and to ASBS for his commendation.

I totally posted the first congrats a few minutes after it passed. My phone must have goofed!

Anyways, it's about time you were recognized. Congrats and such.

I think this is supposed to be the Commend Loop thread. Thank you all for you kind words. It is a little overwhelming and incredibly kind.

Now, let's get to work on commending someone who is a pillar of our region's history (and brought us caek, fridge owls, and much, much more.)
