World Assembly Football Association Proposal

[Barrantopia]

Hello,
I would like to introduce a proposal that would set up a Football Association ran by the World Assembly.

However there are two issues that I need reference to:

1) Which catagory in the General Assembly would I place it under
2) Would it gain enough support.

I would be grateful for your Feedback

This definitely isn't something that the WA should be voting on. The category would be 'bloody stupid' I think.

Actually, I think it would fall under the category of "meta-gaming" (i.e. illegal), presuming that you're expecting a World Assembly proposal (if passed) to result in a football association (i.e. something similar to what happens in NS Sports, etc.) being created and run by a mod/etc.

Please see this failed proposal for more information on the subject. However, it should be known that the WA is not your suggestion box for making improvements to the game of Nation States. (Unless you're making In Character suggestions for improvements, with regards to international legislation. But that seems like a different animal from your proposal concept.)

1) Which catagory in the General Assembly would I place it under.

There really isn't one, except perhaps "bloody stupid"

2) Would it gain enough support.

God, I hope not.

What makes you think this is anywhere even close to an international issue?

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Hmm, I think it is more suited as an NS Sport Proposal. The WA is not a kind of place where you create sports leagues or keep track of sports leagues: NS Sports has more dedication to the subject, but I do notice how you wish to promote peace through sport, it's just that the Metagaming rule mean the WA cannot create leagues as the honoured ambassador from Mousebumples pointed out.

As long as by football you mean the game played with feet, you have our support (:

The ambassador rolled his eyes, "Bloody hell... what else are you going to use besides feet, ... your ears?"

Apparently there is some bizarre and vulgar version of rugby (a wonderful sport by the way) but instead uses the name "football" and its players wear obscene amounts of padding and form piles of limbs as they tackle their opponents to get the ball. The ball is held in hand. Or so our diplomats tell us. Few have seen the sport and can't understand why it's called "football' since the ball isn't handled by the feet.

How....strange. Is this sport popular anywhere? However do they score a goal if they do naught else than pile upon each other? It sounds a dreadful barbaric sport.

Well, according to the diplomats who have witnessed the vulgarity in action, a goal is scored by carrying the ball into the end zone or kicked. Of course, the ball doesn't always make it, due to the tackling and whistle-blowing and time outs. Football (as we know it) is much more civilized and action packed. This perversion is slow-moving. And rarely do the players run after the ball.

We too have heard of this, for lack of a better word, sport. The Crown Prince even had occasion to witness it being played while on a diplomatic visit to a backward and rather uncivilized country, he said it was frightfully dull as there was about ten seconds of action fallowed by 30-60 seconds of standing around. Apparently, they score by running what they call a ball, though this ball is not round, into the goal area or throwing this ball to a player already in the goal area without being overtaken by the other team, this gives them 6 scores for some reason. They then get the ball back and they can kick it into a smaller goal area for another score or try to run/pass it into the larger goal area for 2 scores. Instead of getting the ball into the larger goal area in the first place, they could choose to kick the ball into the smaller goal area for 3 scores. I am also informed that this sport has more rules then a large buracracy, they take many breaks in the middle of play, are overly concerned about player safety and yet have more players hurt then any of the more civilized sports. I am at a loss as to why it is called "football" except that I believe they are trying to cash in on the marketing of real football.

Hnh. Whatever shall they think of next? Maybe hitting a small round ball with a stick and running in circles. Nah, thats just too silly for words. Nobody in their right mind would pervert Cricket like that.

The ambassador from Bergnovinaia, Mrs. Thekenbail, came back from her coffee break. When she glanced at the piece of paper her assitant gave her that said about what new topic was being debated, she blurted out, "What?!?! Futbol or football--ran by the WA?!? Buhahaha muhaahaha ahahah. No."

Sorry GH, I gotta say that for the life of me I can't get into Cricket, nor can the King. In fact, it is a banned sport in Cardoness because it is just too confusing/stupid.

Delegate Stevens stands to speak, "My honored ambassadors, it would seem to me that you're all having a bit too much fun with this. But, we too have heard of this strange, hands-on approach to football and from the description, we have no interest in it what so ever." Delegate Stevens sits back down.
