What would happen to a UN resolution if voting was tied at the end of the voting period? Would it pass, fail, or would the game crash?

No one knows. Not even [violet], I don't think. Hmm.

So, there's no fail safe for this idea, because you'd think it would've crossed someone's mind by now... :wink:

I don't suppose that we can try and fix the next vote to find out :wink:
The odds of a resolution ending up tied are so small, I doubt it's worth worrying about anyway :P

This is quite true, but you never know what could happen when the masses are determined. :twisted:

I think it would be cool if we could have a way to vote off a resolution once it has been passed.
To edit it or to delete it all together. Just a thought. :idea:

I don't know, we almost pulled it off last time. If a slightly different set of delegates had been persuaded to change their votes right at the end, we might have caused the end of the world.
