2nd Attempt at a United Nations framework

Umm, Shiber, when did you get to the Modern Era last time?

The UN makes it possible to hold elections for the UN Secretary General. The choice whether to hold them or not belongs to the civ possessing the wonder. The vote may be held either on the turn the wonder is completed or every 13th turn onwards (is it 13? I think it is... definitely not every turn), until there's a UN Secretary General elected - which is where the game ends, yes.

I would like to make the following UN Proposal:

UN Proposal 000001 Aa

That the Global Community has come to the obvious concensus that Shiber of Gathering Storm is a naughty dog. And that pursuant with his being a naughty dog should likewise be expediantly removed from potential harm to the global society at large.

Therefore upon the authority of this resolution the aforementioned naughty dog known as Shiber shall forthwith be put to sleep.

Resolved by the United Nations

Consider me Russia on the UN Security Council.

Nay.

Anyway, don't blame me if by PTWDG IV nobody gives a hoot about written agreements...

Or, alternatively, if they know to be a whole lot more careful to avoid ambiguities in those agreements. In any case, this is the last democracy game for me just because of how much time the things consume (and not always at times when it's convenient).

It only triggers a vote if its builder wants it to.

It wasn't like this with the first Civ3 SPDG (Civ3 1.29f). We rushed the UN with a leader and the next turn, the vote was triggered.
Or perhaps I'm not remembering this correctly. I have never built the UN in my own games, and the first SPDG ended a while ago... could be that I don't remember, so in this case I'll assume that you're right.

I think doggie's chased too many mailmen into their trucks vapor fumes.......

(Of course that statement makes absolutely no sense unless your a veteran of the Apolyton forums and can remember way back several years ago when we had VISIBLE avatars.....)

[Master Zen]

I would think twice of making fun of the doggie... it's got the mark of the beast... err... the storm, on it's head!

With so many against the UN, looks like Trip won't have to worry about it. Cause as long as 1 nation decides not to join the UN, the UN will crumble.

It's too bad, cause I like the idea that it could bring closure to the flame fests (are you guys still arguing about who's at fault in the GoW-GS war?). Even if it ended up being a toothless tiger.

I think we've concluded it was Roleplay's fault.

UN Proposal 000002 Aa

Regardless of the conflict or dispute, the UN hereby decrees it is Roleplay's fault, even if Roleplay has ceased to exist.

[Theseus]

Aaaah, but what if RP roleplays the UN?

And Spamish Mitchell re-appears (let's remember that they are Roman Catholic, and thus Italian more or less), and the UN votes that Spamish Mitchell is immune to all prosecution?

(not that we have too many Italian players, but what goes on there in RL is mind-boggling)

Aaaaand, the UN then decrees that MPP does not equal NAP, but ROP is NA in the case of NAP but not MPP, and CG and UT are allowed only in dire circumstances, but GL (hah! which one?!) is disallowed for at minimum 5 turns, unless all parties agree and then disband?

Ah HAH!!

And then do you choose:

Cake or Death?

Thank you for flying Church of Theseus... some Chivas with your Chivas, sir? Tastes of... Chivas.

/me unable to play another turn of my replay of the vicious AU 208, and lashing out at the world. Where's my Chivas? Frigates?... you bastards. Throw some Chivas at ya, prolly better than friggin' Cannons. Arrgghh.
