GA Resolution: Read the Resolution Act

Can I ask:

How the hell do they know if we read it or not ?!

The dreaded "it's".

Let's hope it never get's within a meter of the W.A.

Oh no, it's being let into the voting area.

New W.A. Resolution: The Washing Of The Hands Resolution[/u]

That thou uses soap. It sounds better.

Let's face it. Every week we get atleast one stupid Resolution.

Stupid resolution, no way to enforce it, no.

And I've got no words for how dumb it is to vote on resolutions based solely on their title/category.

Support.

I'm not saying that voting just based on the title or category isn't dumb. It absolutely is.

However, realize that this is not even remotely enforceable. What can you do to ensure anyone actually reads the resolution? Like it or not, you can not force someone to read it. How would you possibly do it? You can force a nation to do this all you would like, but the player behind that nation does not have to read the resolution, and in fact is under no obligation to do so before voting. Regardless of whether or not this passes, a large number players will not read resolutions beyond the first few lines. This can and will include Delegates, like it or not. The only response is to vote the stupid resolutions down, and repeal them if they pass.

If that seems to be too much of a waste of time, leave the World Assembly, because neither this nor any resolution will change how players control their nations.

But where do we go next?
The "Having read the resolution think about your decision act"?

Switch the t before the it's, and you got yourself some tis.

Well, the GA tends to be RP-based to the degree that GA resolutions have in-character (IC) effects. Some nations may choose to roleplay evasive techniques, but the resolution still does something. My argument is that this resolution is no different from those that deal with the environment, or education, or any other GA proposal category. Your argument against this resolution could easily be generalized to *any* GA resolution; "Resolution X is bad because it applies to all WA nations, not just a subgroup" is problematic as a result.

The IC effect of this proposal is that nations have to create some agency (one person could suffice) to read proposals. This causes a slight improvement in political freedoms (Furtherment of Democracy: Mild) because national citizens are better informed voters. Nothing requires any player to RP actually reading proposals. The OOC effect of this proposal is the stat change. Again, nothing compels a player to read proposals. These effects are general properties of GA resolutions.

I suppose everyone does instant condemnation against Nazis.

But if everyone is equally called into question, everyone raises bloody murder. Very sad state of worldly affairs.
