Draft - The Bismuth Articles

[Eraplevok]

And of course will need a slightly more informative preamble.

but of course

[Eraplevok]

I appreciate the intentions of the draft, but overall I cannot see how the Bismuth metal meets the criteria for notability in the WA. It is also not the only metal with significant value.

Once the BEST Committee has been established, all will be explained

We are amazed that the same answer which was expressed to this Nation has been quickly repeated to our esteemed colleagues from Charlotte Ryberg, we are appalled at such a lack of co operative debate from the delegation, with such an attitude shall bring with it defeat, that is for certain.

Would you like the proposal to have a vague definition of bismuth?

[Freeoplis]

Would you like the proposal to have a vague definition of bismuth?

We would like an argument put forth as to why we or any other Nation should support such a proposal? why is Bismuth more important than any other element? as such that it needs to be singled out as an international issue? why is it deserving of it's own bureaucratic body in which salaries need to be paid?

Without adequate convincing answers support for this legislation will be lacking.

If every element was included in this proposal, would the ambassador support it?

This delegation would not support such a proposal no, but not on any basis of principle but rather cost, the logistics of equally distributing, coordinating and transporting every known element would see costs that the general fund would have to adsorb spiral out of control and as a result each WA Nation would have to contribute an ever increasing amount of taxes, such a proposal would be unsustainable from a cost perspective. Also the practical logistics needed within each Nation to facilitate such legislation would see the administration workload overflow.

While it is understood that Bismuth subsalicylate** (clearly) contains Bismuth, such a product is not essential enough to warrant a proposal devoted entirely to Bismuth.

I stand opposed.

** Drug Information Fact, for those who are wondering what on EARTH (or what in SPACE) is Bismuth subsalicylate. Answer? Pepto Bismol! The fact that salicylates, including Pepto, may cause a very serious condition that often affects children is an additional reason why Bismuth is not worthy of this sort of international support or recognition.

Although perhaps a condemnation would be in order? (Of Salicylates, obviously.)

[Sionis Prioratus]

We find the scope to be a bit too narrow for our comfort. Should we also have a seperate resolution for each of the other 117 elements on the periodic table as well?

Resolutions about noble gases might be seen as too aristocratic.

*snip shit*

OOC: Hello, Diatraba! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

OOC2: Was there any case before of the basic enjoyment of anyone trying to play this game be deletion?

Our patience, while considerable,

Nigel raised an eyebrow, "What time does that start?" he turned to address the ambassadors.


"Silly proposal not worth the time of an international legislature. We are very close to removing the Eraplevok chip from our translators. "

[Bears Armed]

Tell me what you think:

General Assembly
Social Justice

This proposal is for the equal distribution of Bismuth to those less fortunate.

Understands the those who work for their bismuth earn their bismuth

Concerned about the grand amount of individuals who fail to recognize what bismuth is

Concerned that those individuals that do not earn their bismuth don't have any

Concerned about the grand amount of individuals who have no bismuth in any shape or form

Hereby establishes the BEST committee (Bismuth Education and Sharing Team). This committee's purpose is to educate those about the dangers and benefits of Bismuth. The committe also encourages those with a fair amount of bismuth to share with others. Should those individuals not share, they will be tried and prosecuted in the ICC of resolution #102

Illegal, 'house of cards'.

This delegation likes that our questions are blatantly ignored and another silly proposal fades into history.

well done sir, your incessant questioning and desire to know the truth was just to powerful for my weak proposal. Your great questions totally demolished any merit that was left in the Bismuth Articles. I have lost, you have won. Now, like you said, this proposal fades into history...

You have certainly done the WA a favor and should be recognized for your grand deeds. Perhaps a medal made of Bismuth is suitable for your valiant efforts

It was your own making, a lack of answers to our questions caused the erosion of merit, proper scrutiny of proposals is not something we shall apologise for.

I know, thats what I just said, and your deed should be recognized by the WA for saving its valuable time

What is this? Bismuth Articles?

I will have some of my aides look at this and I will get back to you in a month or two.
