The number of 130 some approvals from regional delegates seems to be entirely too high. That number should be lowerd in the view of the Cylon Empire

We agree! The number must be lowered.

The current system is a joke...as evident by the lack of any UN proposals up for consideration before the full UN.

I would say it would be acceptable to lower the number of delegates to put a proposal in front of the entire United Nations ONLY if there was a similar change to raise the standard of creating a proposal in the first place. It is way to easy to create a proposal.

Good grief.

This is the first time in a long time that there haven't been regular resolutions up for vote. Give it time for people to come back to NS after the holidays, write up some decent proposals, and the resolutions will come back.

Used to be you needed 20% of delegates for a proposal to reach quorum, and you guys are complaining about 6%!

In fact, "Internet Advertising Pop-ups" just reached quorum, so tomorrow there will be a new resolution for you to wrangle over.

Yeah but to change the number there was a resolution but it is about 1 every 6 or 7 days and have to seen how many delegates actually endorse these proposals?

Maybe we should not have a hard quorum at all and instead vote the most endorsed proposal when there is none pending with the required number (read: queue the quorum ones and if there is none, take the highest that is in the approval queue, resulting in a "soft quorum" setup). With that, the hard quorum could be a bit higher even (say, 10%)

I'm personally rather miffed that you need endorsements to submit resolutions - this requires you to go begging in some region instead of being able to do your own stuff. I'd have a few ideas, but I won't want to go endorsement-hunting or join a random region just to submit them. It takes away part of the game if you can't do this without being dependent on others. There may even be delegates with no submit power (if they have exactly 1 other UN nation in region)
