[SILLY] GA Joke Proposals Only

[Sierra Lyricalia]

Repeal "Restrictions on Land-Mime Use"

APPLAUDING the desire to limit civilian exposure to mimes,

HOPING AGAINST ALL HOPE that a proper replacement can be issued forthwith,

APPALLED by the target resolution's cavalier assumption that there cannot be a total permanent ban on the use of such abhorrent weapons as the invisible machine gun, the imaginary bazooka, and the magic ricochet-making invincible shield,

FLABBERGASTED that βGAR #7 allows for nations to simply abandon their mimes on the field of battle,

TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY that the resolution does not anticipate the interpretation of "clearly demarcated" to mean mimed invisible cages with signs held up Road Runner style,

REMINDING its members that once you've seen a mime, you can easily understand the basics for yourself with little effort, thus rendering the continued use of mimes in warfare a complete bulldozing of the resolution's knowledge export prohibition,

and

SHAKING ITS HEAD IN DISBELIEF that any anti-mime resolution so full of holes could possibly have waltzed into the β General Assembly with only empty air as its dancing partner, smugly doffed its beret, and been voted into law,

The β General Assembly hereby repeals βGAR #7, "Restrictions on Land Mime Use."

[Wrapper]

Throw in a clause stating that a mime is a terrible thing to waste, and we'll consider it.

(The beta test for the new game-mechanics had its own version of the WA, and the rule against 'joke proposals' wasn't enforced there: Not only did I submit this there, it passed [with 80% of the votes cast] as GA Resolution #07.)

Beta test?

Leppikanian Branding Act

---

Category: Joke | Strength: Silly | Proposed by: Leppikania

---

The World Assembly, with Leppikania,

COGNIZANT of the rule to prevent nations like Leppikania from branding their proposals,

ORATING that the exception about the co-author is unfair to Leppikania,

RECALLING the box in the proposal that says "Proposed by: Leppikania", which in itself would break the branding rule,

ADAMANT that Leppikania would like to have this rule repealed,

DETERMINED to have this rule removed for the good of Leppikania,

INITIALIZES the Leppikanian Establishment of Proposal Progression In Kind Administration to Narf Inhibiting Addenda to seek out and destroy any attempt to create a branding rule to stop Leppikania from branding, and

ADDS the mitigation of any proposal to repeal this proposal to the LEPPIKANIA's tasks so that Leppikania may propose in peace.

This started as an attempt to make the most egregious branding violation possible, but happened to gather a blocker violation, a committee-only violation, and a metagaming violation along the way.

Sierra Lyricalia, you raise some interesting points: Let's smell them, one by one...

APPALLED by the target resolution's cavalier assumption that there cannot be a total permanent ban on the use of such abhorrent weapons as the invisible machine gun, the imaginary bazooka, and the magic ricochet-making invincible shield,

Where does it actually say that?? I don't see anything in the resolution's text that would block later legislation setting a limit on the armaments of any mimes which still get deployed.

FLABBERGASTED that βGAR #7 allows for nations to simply abandon their mimes on the field of battle,

The resolution says that they can only be deployed within mime-fields, and that whoever controls the territory at the end of the open conflict is responsible for either clearance or continued containment: Thus, the member nation can only "abandon" its deployed mimes if it loses control of the area after deploying them, which it presumably would prefer not to do -- and therefore would actively work to prevent -- anyhows, and even then if that area wasn't actually owned by them at the time when they deployed those mimes they're still legally bound to pay for the problem's management. So, in my opinion, hardly a major potential problem.

TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY that the resolution does not anticipate the interpretation of "clearly demarcated" to mean mimed invisible cages with signs held up Road Runner style,

You would regard "invisible mimed cages" as being a 'good faith' interpretation of "clearly demarcated"?!? Hr'rmm, I certainly wouldn't. Even so, though, I could agree to adding the requirement for adding a clearly demarcated & labelled zone around the mime-field, at a sufficient distance from the nearest deployed mimes to ensure that those mimes can not affect people who remain outside this.

REMINDING its members that once you've seen a mime, you can easily understand the basics for yourself with little effort, thus rendering the continued use of mimes in warfare a complete bulldozing of the resolution's knowledge export prohibition,

Bah! You're only thinking about mime-impersonators, which are relatively harmless: I was more concerned about the [much more hazardous!] "true" land-mimes, whose production is a matter not only of training but also of -- to varying extents -- selective breeding, and applied chemistry, too.
(I suspect that it was a serious failure -- in 'gaming' terms, a "critical fumble" failure -- in an attempt at reverse-engineering this process which, in Gotham City, created 'the Joker'...)

Throw in a clause stating that a mime is a terrible thing to waste, and we'll consider it.

Only if you don't mind urrs inserting a comma into that statement, thus:

Stating that a mime is a terrible thing, to waste

Repeal "Chuck Norris Should Be Ultimate Ruler of the Multiverse"
Category: Repeal

CELEBRATING the destruction and imprisonment of the tyrannical conservative regime of Chuck Norris by the Kalatan Confederation and the exercise of discretionary justice in the name of universal values, protecting non-Christians, and preventing the spread of his conservative xenophobism;

BELIEVING that no such powers should ever be held by one person and thereby investing an Executive Cabinet composed of Kalatan citizens with all powers formerly associated with this force of evil;

DECLARING that the memory thereof will be damned, forgotten, erased from all public records, removed from all sculptures or monuments, and that he shall never have existed;

RECALLING 1 UN and DECLARING 'member nations must act swiftly in the interests of peace. This means, of course, building lots of new weapons. Only by massively increasing military budgets world-wide will we be able to restore peace and global security';

The World Assembly hereby REPEALS the abomination known as "----- ------ Should Be Ultimate Ruler of the Multiverse".

Repeal "Repeal 'Chuck Norris Should Be Ultimate Ruler of the Multiverse'"
Category: Repeal?

NOTING that the resolution "Repeal 'Chuck Norris Should Be Ultimate Ruler of the Multiverse'" mentions a being known as Chuck Norris;

CONFUSED at said mention as there seems to be no existing record of such a being, entity, or even concept;

UPSET at this waste of legislation, as it celebrates the destruction of a regime that by all accounts never even existed;

RESOLVED to trim the legislative fat so that the World Assembly may have a few less unnecessary resolutions on the books;

The World Assembly hereby REPEALS(?) the confusing document known as "Repeal 'Chuck Norris Should Be Ultimate Ruler of the Multiverse".

I couldn't help but wonder about the possible ramifications of the third clause (and yes, I know that there has already been an un-repeal resolution... but this is a joke thread anyway, right?)...

Or one that requires all bearded men to pay a beard tax, but mandates that bearded women pass GO and collect $200 instead.

Category: Facial Hair

Strength: Glorious

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging that the number of Men with excessive beardage is too damn high,

Wishing to correct this unfortunate oversight of International law before it becomes an irreversible phenomena,

Praising the bravery of Women protesting this horrible occurrence by maintaining their own glorious beards,

Mandates That all Member-States place a Gloriousness Observance Point, hereafter referred to as "GO" on the highest-traveled road within their territory,

Mandates that all Men maintaining any amount of facial hair in excess of 1.2 millimeters in length pay a "beard tax" of no less than 1.5% of the national average income,

Requires that all Member States provide Women maintaining any amount of facial hair, upon passage of GO, with exactly 200 units of the local currency,

Believing that democracy is a false aggregation of preferences towards those who are loudest,

Confident that it is unable to solve the pressing matter of the upcoming NationStates WA elections,

The World Assembly hereby:

Appoints Testlandia as Secretary General and

Ejects all those who are currently running from the World Assembly, in the name of freedom, of course.

Say Nice Things About Caelapes Act

CLARIFIES that this should not involve any commendation;

INSISTS that these nice things be kept very separate from commendation;

REFUSES to ever participate in something so base as commendation;

OOC: Can we maybe stop taking the Joke thread so seriously. A joke proposal (even if it is related to the SC) shouldn't be met with an artillery barrage, methinks.

OOC: A joke proposal (even if it is related to the SC) shouldn't be met with an artillery barrage, methinks.

OOC: Pfft, someone once tried to nuke my capital because I pointed out their typos. An artillery barrage is in comparison a totally acceptable reaction to regular annoyance.

Joke proposals can be posted in the SC in new threads. There's no need for a megathread for them.

*gently pushes Liagolas towards the SC forum* No hard feelings, btw.
