[PolarBoy]

The United Kingdom votes opposed to the ammendment.

[cuban smoker]

By the power of Veto, the United Kingdom had cause this ammendment to fail.

I now call on the next speaker on the speaker's list, United States of America.

[Talitha]

The delegate from the USA wishes to remind the chair that she has requested to be removed from the speakers list at this time.

[Fishbulb]

Sorry, everyone. I had no idea how chaotic this weekend was going to turn out. I kept trying to make time to hop on, but I rarely had enough time to do more than check a thread or two before I had to take off again. I apologize if my unexpected absence caused any sort of delay in the game, and I will try to get back in as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I do not have the time right now to do more than mass post this message, so please have patience.

[cuban smoker]

Thank you delegate from the United States of America. The chair apologizes for the error. The next speaker has also been removed, so I now call on the delegate from the United Kingdom, who has just left the hall...

So... I will remove the delegate from the speaker's list, which brings us to the end of the speaker's list. Anyone may immediately join the speaker's list, and speak on the resolution, or I will entertain a motion to close debate on this resolution.

[mathcam]

I would like to be added as a speaker. (Presuming this is okay by the lag in this game...)

I voted no for the amendment for the same reason I plan on voting no for the proposition, though I agree the amended version is superior to the original form. The delegate from the United Kingdom has made some extremely sensible points concerning the co-placement of our investigation and our MABM. I encourage waiting and supporting the United Kingdom's proposition-to-come on these matters.

Germany

[shadyforce]

POI to Germany:

Could you please explain why if the amendment was superior, you chose to vote no instead of just voting yes and dealing with PBs suggestions after the amendment?

[cuban smoker]

Thank you delegate from Germany. Delegates may continue to ask points of information.

[massive]

The Phillipines would like to move for caucus once discussion on this resolution has finished, and the resolution has been voted upon.

[massive]

Point of information to the speaker:

Could you please explain why, if you are opposed to the amendment AND the resolution, that you continue to filibuster and hold up the vote which will inevitably result in the failure of this resolution?

[PolarBoy]

Point of information directed at the speaker: If you like my ideas about how the issues in my resolution can be addressed why don't you just propose the ammendment yourself?

[EnPaceRequiescat]

I support massive's motion for caucus discussion. that way I'll actually be able to post something relevant when I

can

log on . On the current issue, I have the same [/b]POI to the speaker:

if you voted no when you found the amendment better. was it because it wasn't good enough?

[mathcam]

I'm hardly filibustering, delegate from Obnioxiousland.

The reason I voted no on the amendment even though I found it superior is clear. A proposition made in accordance with PolarBoy's ideas is vastly superior. The worse the current proposition is, the more likely it will be voted down and a new one will be created. I don't want people to vote yes on a proposition just because it was amended to be better than it was before. I feel that countries only half-paying attention to this game are missing some valuable points, and are just voting with the flow instead of thinking about the matters for themselves.

Point of information directed at the speaker: If you like my ideas about how the issues in my resolution can be addressed why don't you just propose the ammendment yourself?

Well, laziness aside, I would if I had better intenet access right now. If this debate drags on until my school year starts, you better believe I'll have some propositions and amendments to write.

Germany

[cuban smoker]

Decorum delegates. You will treat each other with dignity and respect.

Delegate from Phillipines, you are out of order. Please do not propose motions at a set time in the future. Instead, you can move we go to caucus immediately.

[bigbenwd]

benin moves that we caucus immediately

[massive]

The delegate from the Phillipines wishes to inform the council that he has been ordered to return to the Phillipines immediately to deal, quickly, with a pressing issue at home. He seconds the motion for immediate caucus, and then will return on Monday.
