OOC2: If you know the category description of a Moral Decency resolution please share it with me. As far as I can find the WA has never passed one so I can't find it.
Ban on GovernmentStates
*insert category description*
Category: Moral Decency | Strength: Mild | Proposed by: Topid
The World Assembly,
Regretting the existence of GovernmentStates as an online nation simulation game which has gained popularity within most World Assembly member states,
Recognizing the creator of a game to be a nutty, funny looking islander who writes unpopular books,
Believing the purpose of the game is to brainwash users into backing the radical views of the creator,
Outraged that the creator dares to use the World Assembly symbol and name as an international body within the game without permission from the World Assembly,
Angered by the fact that many of the games ‘regions’ are named after real nations, and in many cases actually make a mockery of these nations,
Shocked by the violent and public riots that have broken out following the implementation of various aspects of the game, such as the ‘Security Council’ which mimics the World Assembly Security Council,
Asserting that the game of GovernmentStates has caused only drastic problems for the international community,
Hereby:
1) Requires all member states to ban citizens from accessing GovernmentStates,
2) Encourages the use of various internet censorship methods to prevent accessing the site,
3) Encourages member states to use sufficient force to pacify the public demonstrations about the game more permanently,
4) Authorizes the World Assembly legal team to issue a poorly worded warning to the creator via the most unsecure form of communication imaginable.
The ambassador of Topid, Eric Draven, appears from the shadows in the corner of the room. He walks silently down the isle toward the podium as he prepares to speak. The crowd of ambassadors watch with moderate interest as a murder of crows follows him as if he controlled them. Reaching the podium, Mr. Draven places his papers on them and takes a moment to prepare. As he does, two of the crows fly up and position themselves menacingly on the corners of the podium. The rest of the murder fly in unison off the ground, around the room, cawing fiercely. They all dive at once landing on the ground in a large heartagram pattern. The crows, and the stunned ambassadors looking on remain perfectly still.
Eric's voice began, "Now that I have your attention, I bring you this warning. If the World Assembly fails to act on this issue these radicals will rock our governments to their core. GovernmentStates has proved time and time again to be a breeding ground for radicals! These ultra-leftist nut-jobs will argue with new users on the site until they are indoctrinated too, and then the new radical joins the masses in converting the others.
All around our nations, citizens are skipping work to play GovernmentStates, or playing it in the office instead of working. Students are cutting class to play, or sneaking into computer labs. The overall addictiveness of the game is almost as dangerous as the radical views it teaches.
It also spreads a don't-give-a-damn ideology. Who does this bald headed quack think he is to use OUR symbols and copyrights?
Stand with me, in silencing this enemy once and for all!"
As the speakers voice rose in emphasis of the last line, the crows sprang to life again, flying in circles around Eric Draven. He was concealed from site behind the crows, and when the crows scattered and flew out doors and windows around the room Draven was no where to be seen. He was finally observed sitting near the front of the rows of ambassadors calmly waiting for the first reply to his proposal as if nothing had happened.
