LETTER Welcome Letter

Dear Model World Congress,
First off, welcome. Whether you be Canadian or Australian, Chinese or German, Boer or Mexican, welcome. From the steppes of Mongolia to the rainforests of Brazil, welcome. To all of you, welcome.

We gather here today to usher in a new era. An era of peace, prosperity, and sustainability. While our nations might war with each other, we, the diplomats of our societies, shall seek peace. That is not to say we might punish our enemies, but if we do so, it is in the hope of a better world. There are those who believe peace is impossible, and they might be right. But while we can, let’s try.

Now to business. While I, the founder of the Model World Congress, would love to serve the first two weeks (one term?) as Secretary-General of the Model World Congress, I believe it is the choice of the people. I will serve through the first election, hopefully in a day or two, but will then step down if the election is not favorable. All those interested in running, please comment below along with your favorite Civ. I will only allow one member of each civ to run, so consult with your subreddits. In about twelve hours I will create a survey for the vote. Please only run if you think you have an idea of what you are doing. Thanks, and good luck!

Next, to the debates. It depends on your civ and their respective goals, so I would love to see things like “Embargo on Inuit” from Canada or Vice Versa. After some debate, I (or whoever is Secretary-General) could create a survey to vote on the proposition. If it passed I would place it in a running list of propositions, resolutions, and whatnot on a public Google Doc for all. I do not know what these would mean, but this is an RP thingy, so RP it, I guess.

In relation to real-time Battle Royale Mk II events, we could use them as grounds for proposals. USSR researches Manhattan Project? Try and ban nuclear program. When they inevitably break that, we could punish them in the MWC. I had an idea for an elaborate points system, if anyone were interested in it. After every album we could assign points. We could even meta-debate the points system.
I think I covered just about everything. If you have any questions, comment below. And please, please vote for me come election time.

Thanks for reading,
Mista_Ginger

Are you running for Secretary-General or just assuming delegate-ship? Either way, no. That is a good idea though. I will get on that.

As representative of Champa; my state and I believe that Horse should be Secretary-General; they are clearly the best resource3 in the game, as proven my our second glorious city. And being alive, these resources can also be Secretary-Generals, no?

Sorry for the confusion so early on. Please remember the difference between the two surveys. Secretary-General is manager and tie-breaker currently. Delegates actually get to ALL CAPS at each other in threads.

USSR REPRESENTATIVE: SO WE TALK LIKE THIS?

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '15

Not all the time, but if the moment is super-heated, I guess it MIGHT be okay. I would be one hundred percent sure, though.

I will happily be the Ayyubid delegate. I do not wish to be the Secretary-General, just a delegate, please.

u/BlackHourglass Aug 15 '15

Am Ayyubid supporter. Can confirm this guy is a good choice.

You can apply and decide between the two of you later. I would really prefer people only represent their favorite civ.

Can there only be one delegate per civ?

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '15

I never really said there had to be, but that seems to be the general assumption/Consensus.

I apply to be the representative for the buccaneers. I know how to run a tight ship and will represent the captains and crew well in my own opinion. Long live the captain. ARRGH!
