MUNSCM - Abandoned

[shadyforce]

(Thread doubles in size in next 2 days)

Anyway, the delegate from Chile votes in favour of the motion.

[Leonidas]

[cuban smoker]

Delegate from Chile, you are out of order. What motion?

For all concerned delegates, the delegate from Benin requested to be replaced, he wasn't chair-whacked or anything like that.

Delegate from the United Kingdom, please present your resolution. Once he has submitted his resolution, another delegate may second, and then immediately speak on the resolution.

MUNSCM 002: Weapons Inspectors

Acknowledging

that investigations often turn up nothing;

Noting

that more experienced players will be more dangerous than inexperienced players if evil;

Noting

that said players are more dangerous if they have veto power

1.

Requires

that weapons inspectors be sent to China.

[cuban smoker]

Thank you delegate from the United Kingdom. You may now step down.

The speaker's list is now open.

I call upon any delegate to second this resolution, and ask that they speak immediately in favour of this resolution. Once the seconder has spoken, all delegates may begin asking points of information, until the speaker steps down.

I would also like to note that if the weapons inspectors are not required to give a report to a specific nation, they will not give the report. They are a lazy bunch. Note that the resolution cannot be changed without an ammendment, so it may be in the Council's best interest to consider an ammendment.

[cuban smoker]

Oh, and this is a good example of a resolution that will pass even if China votes against it, as it specifically mentions China by name, and only China, thus nullifying their veto power for this resolution and most ammendments pertaining to it.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Point of information directed toward the speaker:

Whilst I agree with the principle behind this, I wonder whether using a BNG to determine the country to be inspected would not be more effective? Or in other words? Why in particular China?

[Dragon Phoenix]

(BNG is of course the new TLA for random number generator)

[cuban smoker]

Delegate from Pakistan, you are out of order. There is no speaker right now! Implicitly, I instruct the delegate from the United Kingdom not to answer.

Indeed, the submitter of the resolution must immediately step down, and once a seconder speaks, they become the speaker. You may ask your point of information of the seconder, once someone chooses to second.

[Dragon Phoenix]

*hangs head in shame*

[massive]

The delegate from The Phillipines seconds the resolution.

[massive]

The Phillipines believes that action of this course is necessary. A nation with veto power must be held accountable to abide by the laws and by-laws of this union.

Due to the geographical proximity of China to the Phillipines, the nature of China's affiliation is of increased interest.

Learning the true nature of China's warfare programs would provide the United Nations with the strength and security that this magnificent country has provided throughout history.

[cuban smoker]

Thank you delegate from the Phillipines. You now stand for points of information.

I call upon all delegates to ask points of information directed towards the delegate from the Phillipines. When you are finished massive, please announce you are stepping down.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Point of information directed toward the speaker:

Whilst I agree with the principle behind this, I wonder whether using a RNG to determine the country to be inspected would not be more effective?

[shadyforce]

*nods in agreement*

[shadyforce]

I mean... shouts: "Here, Here!"

[mathcam]

Ditto.

Cam

[shadyforce]

I hope I'm not out of order (again) by doing this...

Point of order directed towards the chair:

I proposed an amendment to the wording of the resolution replacing "China" with "a nation with Veto powers randomly selected by the game mod and not investigated on a previous occassion".

[cuban smoker]

Delegate from Chile, you are out of order. You do not propose ammendments through points of order. Rather, you request to be on the speaker's list, and when it is time for you to speak, you officially present your ammendment and speak on it. Then, without standing for points of information, another delegate should immediately speak opposed to the ammendment. Then we vote on the ammendment.

I will add you to the speaker's list, so that it looks like this:

Submitter - UK
Seconder - Phillipines < current speaker

SPEAKER's LIST

Chile
United States of America

[Talitha]

Please add me to the speakers list. I will be proposing an ammendment regarding the weapons inspector's reporting procedures.

[massive]

Admittedly, the stake of the Phillipines in this resolution is rooted in its proximity to the great nation of China. The Phillipines would like to know that it can trust its ancient neighbor.

Also, please note that in order for an amended resolution involving randomization to pass, all five veto-holding countries must approve it. Setting up the veto-holding countries with the knowledge that they, at least, can work freely and tirelessly at securing the UN should be at the forefront of this council. Resolving the veto-holding countries in order disallows them the ability to veto the plan as a whole.

[God]

Point of Information directed towards the speaker

2. Every day, a resolution MAY be passed which allows the weapons inspectors to enter one country, and give a report to ONE country. The inspection takes place at night.

Am I correct in assuming that In your proposal to send the weapons inspectors to China, you would like the report send to the Phillipines? What is to stop the axis of evil from simply targetting the Philipines or China during the night.

The delegate from Angola

votes against

the resolution.

[God]

I would also like to be added to the speakers list. I will be proposing a resolution dealing with the sending of the report, MABM utilization, and where the Council should send the Weapons Inspectors.

[cuban smoker]

Delegate from Angola, your vote is out of order, and will not be recorded.

Delegate from Angola, your request to be added to the speaker's list and the reasons for it are inconsistent. You cannot propose a resolution from the speaker's list. Rather, you can tell me you are submitting a resolution, and it will be added to the Agenda (is this what you meant?)

[massive]

It is of little import to the Phillipines as to where the inspector's report is sent. As the original resolution did not address the direction of the report, it is seemingly outside the discussion on this resolution.

At this point, I will step down and give my remaining time to the gentleman from Chile.
