Is somebody joking me, with this? To think it actually has more than a chance of coming up for vote...

It does have 44 endorsements already...

Regulation 1 - All WA Nations have the right to legalized Casino Gambling, Sports Betting and Lottery.

Well, it's only the nations that have the right to access these. Nothing about citizens.

Good Lord, it only needs five more approvals in just over a day. Why oh why don't people post their proposals here for debate first?!

[Bergnovinaia]

I pray this gets murdered when it reaches vote (because it will, assuredly reach vote, unless someone immediately takes action and sends out campaign tg's against it.

[Ille-Povrois]

Where can we vote for that?
Sorry for the question.

Seeing that you are the delegate, you can't.

(Thank God! As if we need another approval!)

[Quadrimmina]

The Republic of Quadrimmina condemns the World Assembly delegate nations for their obvious mistake in reading proposals before approving. We also condemn this resolution.

Eduard coughed, "At least it's to legalize gambling. We'll probably vote for. Would this be the first time a resolution on gambling has made quorum?"

And the first time us prolific authors have let slip our quality control. And by quality control, I mean basic grammar, mechanics, and plain standards.

"Trust me it's be done, I mean, HIPPOS ARE QUITE LARGE. Amen." Eduard screamed.

[Quelesh]

It requires legal gambling (which we are okay with) and sets a minimum age of 16 (which we are not okay with). Proposals that specify a particular minimum age for anything are bad, for reasons that have been discussed too many times to count.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Regulation 2 - Legal Gambling age is 16 with each Nation reserving the right to increase the legal age as they see fit.

It doesn't affect our right to keep it at 18, but as always I am concerned here that this can be upped to 200 to bypass this resolution. Either way, we feel it needs further elaboration... what about bringing the topic of gambling addiction to the international stage?

It also prevents a nation from leaving it at, say, 14, if that age has always worked for them, and it prevents nations in which the average life expectancy is, say, 23 from having a reasonable gambling age.

The age question indeed comes up a lot, highlighting the need for a resolution which I am currently drafting. Some may ask, 16... what? 16 days from birth? However, should I need to formulate a repeal, gambling addiction issues are likely to be one of the key arguments.

Yours etc,

[American Capitalist]

Even though I would oppose this resolution anyway due to being poorly written. I oppose this on merit as well child gambling is a proud tradition in American Capitalist. We will not vote for any resolution that interferes with child gambling.

[Bergnovinaia]

It has enough approvals! NOOOOOOOOO!

[Argonia and Gergoniva]

We will obviously be voting against this proposal on the grounds that Gambling Laws are solely national issues, and not something that the WA need concern itself with. Should a minor decided to throw all of his/her money away, we will not stop him/her and there is also a reasonable chance that the kid will learn not to do it again, but then again he/she might not. We leave this matter up to the kids parents or guardians.

I think you're placing too much emphasis on debating the merits of this proposal. The mere lack of quality deems it unsuitable, in my opinion. How this ever reached quorum is beyond me.

"Ahem!"

(Anyway, as it sets no actual penalty for the "illegal" act of gambling while underage, nations that have traditionally favoured lower age-limits [or none at all] are free to set the penalty that applies within their own jurisdictions as something utterly trivial...)

[Glen-Rhodes]

"Ahem!"

The author should probably include the actual proposal in that thread! I must say, though, the one with the death penalty for tampering with machines was a much better attempt at humor.

(Anyway, as it sets no actual penalty for the "illegal" act of gambling while underage, nations that have traditionally favoured lower age-limits [or none at all] are free to set the penalty that applies within their own jurisdictions as something utterly trivial...)

The proposal is so poorly written, all of it would ineffective if passed. But, I mean, come on... I'm still amazed this reached quorum and definitely will go to vote, since there's nothing illegal about it. Unless a mod decides to do this:

A Proposal won't be nuked for the occasional typo, but if I have to spend a good chunk of time trying to figure out what's going on, it'll be nuked.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

If the moderators are reading, this is why we don't delete everything on sight: to distract the delegates from approving bad legal proposals for vote. Individual ducks are less likely to be the ones shot when there are dozens of them flying in the air at once, not just two or three, you know?

Kenny, you'd know -- Has there ever been a Gambling resolution to make it to vote?

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

Barring one more delegate approval, just this one.
