Well then, that's another weirdo and another stoner who no doubt would be against this repeal....

We are opposed to this repeal. We need a place to store our booze. What would become of our lengthy binges? Besides, you don't have a replacement ready to go anyway. Where would we convene in the meantime? A subway station?

You say drunks, stoners, weirdos, military fruitcakes, sex addicts, rejects and militant machistas like its a bad thing...

"Can you read? Your nation should pick people who can actual read to represent them in international matters. Now, I have multiple allies here in this Assembly, you simply don't see them on the floor a lot. Now, the reasoning behind /THIS/ legislation is to repeal the silly reason for a WAHQ being established, the AUTHOR of this beautiful resolution has even said he will consider an immediate replacement for this one. Immediate. We will have a HQ, Ambassador, simply for better reasons.

And don't bash our education system, you can't even read. You can't even comprehend simple knowledge, liberal."

Well considering Auralia's track record for that sort of thing
"I do wish the two of you would calm down. Lets set some things straight. I have no doubt that even with the repeal of this resolution, the WA office buildings will remain for some time if for nothing else because of the massive biological hazard that demolishing them would entail. That being said, the ambassador who takes residence in the women's restroom (and makes it quite awkward, I might add) has a lot to gain from the construction of a new premises with better focus on spacial management. On the other hand, Ambassador Tung, you sound like myself in primary school when I claimed to have a girlfriend in Montana (a place I made up). You are clearly the responsible party for this devolving into petty insults because Ambassador Bell did not get your joke and became agitated when you accused him of looking like or being otherwise similar to one of the greatest imbeciles that have ever stood on this semen and blood stained floor. Make nice you two."

Every time someone tries to repeal this they take the same track, "this resolution is beneath the dignity of the World Assembly. And every time the ambassadors prove that the World Assembly has no dignity. This resolution gives us a home. The fact that it strips us of our self-denial may make some uncomfortable, but if the truth hurts, prepare for pain. If you are having a problem getting office space draft a controversial proposal, wait for the argument to get heated and someone to declare the WA a lost cause and storm out, call dips on their office.

We are opposed.

Ambassador, just a friendly reminder to keep your comments directed at the resolution and the arguments for and against and keep personal attacks to the windows, like that one there right beside your desk.

"If we have one now, why rock the boat? The repeal is based entirely on a lack of humor. Besides, there are no repeals that promise a replacement that can be trusted to go through with it. Afforess's attempt to repeal GAR#2 comes to mind. To suspect that, just because a replacement is drafted and suggested that it will pass is the epitome of naivete. Especially considering the political power behind the new face drafting this, anybody who trusts that the replacement will go through at face value should never play poker. I can read, ambassador, but I can't find it in myself to trust.

"And I do wish you'd stop using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. The Confederate Dominion is one of the more right-wing, economically conservative nations to send regular representatives to this assembly. Our governance is essentially centrist-Libertarian in nature. Calling my delegation liberal does more to make you look like a rabid fascist then it makes me look like a godless communist."

Alexandra nods in agreement as Lord Andreas speaks his peace. "Yeah! Or you could bribe WA Building Mgmt with their weight in gold to get an office directly connected to the Bar, like we did!"

Rowan sharply elbows her colleague, eliciting a surprised gasp. "We were not supposed to tell the others about that!"

"Ro, people have seen us use the stairs to our office from the Strangers' Bar all the time. They know it's there."

"No, I mean that you can just bribe management for a better office!"

"Oohhh..." Alex replies, pursing her lips. "My bad. It was a lot of gold, though. I bet not many other governments could afford it."

"That is hardly the point..." says Rowan, with an exasperated sigh. The girl closes her eyes covers her face with her hand, tiny metallic flakes in her jet black nail polish sparkling in the light as she shakes her head. A look of understanding, followed quickly by amusement, graces Alexandra's pretty features.

"Oh honey, if you thought we had a stand-up reputation in this hall, I'm afraid I've sullied that long ago. Remember when me and Eddie blazed that primo blunt back in the day?"

"Well yes, but we are always smoking blunts here. I think the other delegates are rather used to such behaviour..."

"Right. Also, remember that time in the Bar when I played that song and--"

"YES! Gods, yes, let us not go over that again, you almost got Eireann Fae removed from bloody existence over that performance!"

"Yeah, good times..."

"Beg pardon?" Rowan asks, turning to Epiſkœ, who had just whispered into her ear. "Oh, of course." The girl rises to address the chamber. "The Community of Eireann Fae stands opposed to this draft. We appreciate the cheeky humour as shown in the existing resolution, and applaud its sheer accuracy in describing everything the Festering Snakepit is, and stands for."

Against. Nothing wrong with a bit of humour.

While the Ambassador from Wrapper lies in bed suffering from a hangover -- what? Oh. Ummm, while the, er, fine Ambassador, who has worked tirelessly all night to push through his new proposal, is taking a much-needed break, the Deputy Ambassador, Wad Ahume Orliss-Dorcke, takes the podium for the first time, and reads from a tiny scrap of paper.

We argue with the Spartist People ass ache....

He adjusts his glasses.

Sorry. We agree with the Separatist Peoples' Ambassador, that this repeal is a humongous -- no, a humorless.... ummm... piece of... I can't say that word, can I? Er... poop. Piece of poop. No, I won't say the "S" word. Anyway... I -- I mean, we, uh, we suggest that the Ambassador -- holy shit, is that Ambassador Russell? Oh, sorry, my apologies, but from here he looks just like... Ummm, anyway, we subbest -- suggest, that Ambassador... (squints) ..."Fulton", spend his time on other pursuits. Like... oh hell no, I'm not saying that, the Secretariat will throw me out!

He retreats to the Wrapperian delegation's new office, which is located next to the boiler room. Baby steps....

SP and Defwa, quit the snark about Friday Freshman. IC snark is still warnable snark, and you're very close to the line. Defwa, you're tapdancing on it.

Draica, you've just had some excellent advice from Cardoness. Apply it.

Felicia looks at the draft, then rolls her eyes
"Seriously? Seriously?! Against."

OOC: Honestly, self-deprecating humor is a pretty entrenched aspect of the GA culture - the fact that the term "festering snakepit" is a universally recognized sobriquet for the General Assembly is a testament to that. I don't necessarily have any strong opinion on the target resolution, but I can't stand for this abjectly humorless repeal. So I'm opposing this purely for OOC reasons.

I see many IC/RP uses for having a WA Headquarters. As such, I would not support a repeal if its not accompanied by a replacement.

(Also hard to take the author seriously when he reneges on his promise to retire and then suddenly come up with like 10 new proposals in a row. I can't tell if this is trolling or his idea of revenge against the WA)

In the Name of the Eternal Kawaii, may the Cute One be praised

It is well known among the World Assembly staff that the Shrine of the Manifestation is located in the World Assembly Strangers' Bar. We cannot possibly support a resolution that would dispossess one of the most holy locations to the Kawaiian people.

If I were to draft a replacement, I would include a provision that ensured the Strangers Bar be transported in one piece to the new residence.

Totally support!

And we would like to remind the ambassador from Mosktopia that dueling is still a legal practice in the Kingdom and Empire, and that our office suite, being a diplomatic preserve, is Sovereign Territory of Grays Harbor and that our laws, including Code Duello, are in force there.

1) Illegal, metagaming, and 2) why would you need to build an entirely new headquarters in a replacement? The repeal just strikes out the operating resolution, not the whole damned building.

1) Illegal to want to maintain historically significant parts of the building? Well then I don't want to be right.

2) Because I would like a larger not shared office.

2) You can always choose, like the EnE delegation did, to purchase or build a new building down the road, if one does not want to inconvenienced by the WA building. Norrland Park, Norrland Park Residences and Norrland Park Square were all built on purchased land (and was granted immunity status) to ensure that the two Ambassadors and their working team have more room to roam about. Then again, we've got money to spare - since the tiny state of 400,000 people (and another 9 odd million in the Dominions) makes money disproportionately compared to what it spends.

OOC: Your reason for 2 is probably RP gone too far for WA to take - especially one which requires real effort to R&R.
