AGAINST. Please... if someone wants to draw an organigram for the World Assembly, fine. But we are not going to make a resolution for every department.

[Cerb]

I guess I don't even understand the need for this. Is someone not getting their mail?

And... education?

Against! Against! Against! Grays Harbor loves to pontificate how just about everybody's resolutions are useless, unworthy of international consideration, blahblahblah... He's like a broken record gone wild. And the music is boring.

And THEN, when The Great Pontificator Grays Harbor does something... he makes us suffer this horrid piece of tripe. Seriously, stamps!?!!?

What's next, the World Assembly manufacturing commemorative beer cans? What would the difference be?

[Eist]

At least he has the balls to post a resolution! Against. This is a bit ridiculous. It's going to pass at this rate though! Grr..

[Tsim Sha Tsui]

What's next, a resolution to mint World Assembly Commemorative Coins? A resolution to create the World Assembly Haberdashery, because currently there each delegate has to buy clothes in their native country?

[Cerb]

The World Assembly Collectable Pins and Fastners Department?

[Tsim Sha Tsui]

Errr... exactly!

Not exactly but we do have GA #56 Numismatics Appreciation Act which establishes currency museums across all WA nations.

(Btw: I remember sending you a recruitment TG back when you were first created. In some way I'm glad you chose the 10K Islands (over my region) since I see you've settled here nicely and are very active in the game! That's the most important thing )

Oh, and I agree with Sionis' sentiments...

I almost joined your region based solely on it was the only one of the dozen telegrams I got with a personal touch. Thank you again for the invite.
