PASSED: International Postal Union

[Diatraba]

...but I am beginning to question the true intentions behind the proposal.

Damn - he has figured out the evil plot, Grays! Congratulations, foolish mortal. You've discovered that this resolution is actually all a devious scheme to destroy the entire world. The clauses may look like those of an average GA resolution, the likes of which we see here all the time, however your screen is simply creating a magical illusion. When the resolution is passed, the words in the resolution will suddenly change, allowing the leader of Grays Harbor, who is actually not a human trying to work for a little progress in the WA (yes, he has been deceiving all of you for all these years!), but a terrible demon lord, to officially, by law of the WA, suddenly break the rules of not interfering with game mechanics in GA resolutions and destroy the world. He will take wing and fly across the world while blasting columns of satanic fire at all of your regions, while, by law of this particular WA resolution, you will all be forced to run about in the streets singing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" and hitting each other with sledgehammers. "International Postal Union" will suddenly become "Immense Purgation Underway!"

Order, Order. I must ask the Honourary Ambassador who I have just quoted what he is rabbiting on about? If Grays Harbor had any bad intentions he would not be debating this resolution! This simple reason is because he would not have enough support to submit the resolution - let alone be a WA member in the first place? Can you not see sense man?

I yield the floor - however we must draw our debates to a close soon as this Resolution has all but been accepted by the resolution - voting closes in nineteen hours, and the next Resolution to vote is the Commendation of Todd McCloud - who I have never heard of, so I will be voting AGAINST that Resolution when it comes to Vote

Or would we? We may be arguing this like a normal mortal to lull you all into somnabulance, because as everybody knows, when you stub your toe while sleepwalking you come under the power of the Great Demon Lord, at which point we force you to sing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", and not just in your normal voice, but in a silly effected falsetto! MWAHAHA!

Or, then again, this proposal could really be about the delivery of mail between nations and the ambassador *coughSTONECHILDRENcough* who questioned the "true intentions" of myself and those who worked to get this passed may be talking, without merit reason or cause, out their ... ummm ... someplace else.

[Ardchoille]

Ardchoille has long been in favour of a great deal of rabbiting on -- *bats eyelashes in probable direction of the delegation from Invisible Wabbits* -- and extends that favour to this proposal, which, in our opinion, will facilitate international rabbiting on, albeit in written form.

-- Dicey Reilly, Wrongfully President for Life of Ardchoille.

[Grays Harbor]

We thank the Ambassador from Ardchoille for their support.

Ms. SARAH HARPER: Actually, the voting ends in less than half an hour due to a timestamp offset: FYI.

(Look outside and the snow is falling)

Ms. SARAH HARPER: Speaking of which, this year at the GA is going to end with a white Christmas.

[Burninati0n]

FOR. Good job Greys Harbor.

I heard Grays Harbor did pretty well too.

sorry, couldn't resist.

Eh, at least I remembered your name. I was going to congratulate the person who edited it, but I can't recall that one without looking

Ms. SARAH HARPER: The Presiding Officer had to leave the hall early due to the heavy snowfall but I have enough time to do the following before I go on holiday...

The READING CLERK: The International Postal Union, a mild resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce, proposed by the Kingdom of Grays Harbor, now passed 4,292 votes to 1,320, and will be implemented in all WA member nations by 1800 GMT.

Ms. SARAH HARPER: That said, I am also pleased to announce that the Reading Clerk has got his PS3 at last amid the ongoing postal strike in his home nation, which is also good news.

The READING CLERK (busy): I'm great. I am err, playing Modern Warfare II.

Ms. SARAH HARPER: I hope you enjoy your new game console, once we get home for the recess: Neda Ackermann, Charlotte Ryberg's deputy ambasador, will be doing the next debates for the rest of the holidays. Finally, on behalf of all at the General Assembly at the World Assembly on a very festive debate, we all wish you:

Happy Holidays!*

*Alternatively: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or Season's Greetings.

...and so, the end of the world has begun! Cower, mortals! Sing in the streets and hit one another with hammers! The demon king of Grays Harbor has released his fury upon your nations!

Hmm, where does the new resolution exactly say so, honoured ambassador?

(OOC - its an in joke we have, based upon a comment in one of the more confused statements against the IPU, whining that GH must have "ulterior motives" for proposing this.)

and this is it! Stamps! Mwahaha!

[Charlotte Ryberg]

The Honoured ambassador and the Presiding officer has agreed on the provisional emblem for the time being, which shall be presented as follows:



Presented for your consideration,

[Grays Harbor]

(OOC - while we think the UPU emblem is a fine one, as it is an existing UN agency, and considering the previous example of the RW UN objections to the use of their name and image, it may not be wise to use it as the IPU icon.)
