I, as an individual, not a nation, declare the moon MINE.
Tedmonton

To: Esteemed members of the United Nations.
The current proposal before the United Nations states:
"Whereas, no nation can claim title to the Moon,"
It does not say that an 'individual' can not lay claim to the moon.
Well I, Mr. Tedmonton, who is an individual and not representing the Nation of Tedmonton declare that the entire moon and all mineral rights are hereby mine.
I further declare the the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and all of their moons are mine. The other planets are up for grabs.
I hereby am initiating a 5% tax on the any moon bases that the United Nations sees fit to build. Express written consent from me, Mr. Tedmonton is required before construction of said moon bases can begin.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Tedmonton

The Empire of Beaumontia does not recognise Mr Tedmonton's claim of ownership of the moon or other heavenly bodies.
I have ordered our orbital defences to be on alert as a precaution and I wish to repeat the Empire's support for the UN Space Consortium resolution.
Yours Majestically,
Emperor Jaius I of Beaumontia

Beaumontia - don't you get it?
The current resolution is fatally flawed! I found a loop hole and declared the planets... mine. It doesn't matter if you recognize it or not, those planets are mine!
OOC: this happened in real life. Some American proclaimed the moon and planets his and the UN recognized it. He sells acres on the moon for $10. Its true its true! Go and google it.
there is another loop hole however. As you are not recognised, anybody can violate your ownership, becasue:
1. they can claim ownership
2. they wont care
You also cant do anything because you dont represent your nation.
The Zoogie People
25-02-2004, 21:31
IC: The Zoogie People refuses to recognize your claims, and if we ever wanted to establish a lunar base, we will not ask for permission to do so. Further, the resolution has not even been passed, and in our opinion is a poor resolution because then people will want lunar bases on the moon, except there already is one, and only one, for all UN nations, which is confusing, because it will have no RP value - nobody will agree whats on the base and what tech level it's in...and this committee will never exist, it will just be "there" and have no value.
OOC: I thought there wasn't supposed to be IC in the UN forum? This thread must be pointless too...or a move to II? :P

25-02-2004, 22:48
Let me remind you all that Mercury, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are still available. I didn't claim those
Mr. Tedmonton
ps: the moon is mine. I am the first person to make the claim to the UN so it is valid.
OOC: this happened in real life. Some American proclaimed the moon and planets his and the UN recognized it. He sells acres on the moon for $10. Its true its true! Go and google it.
OOC: Yeah, actually I bought an acre from him. It's somewhere in some "ocean"

To demonstrate a point:
I make a claim on the moon. I do not recognize Tedmonton's claim, so the moon is mine. Anyone who claims the moon after me will be forced to pay a tribute.
Now: See how pointless that move is, anyone can do it and everyone would just ignore them.
Oh pfffrt.
I, no...
But, hmmm...
Well, eh...
No, nothing to say on this one, I am un-sure if I want to touch it... maybe I should request my nation submit some of its formidible collection of modernised I.G.N.O.R.E. cannon/s to the U.N. to shoot at any-one who tries to claim the moon for them-self. Might save a bit of trouble, and some paper work.

The current resolution is very flawed and should be voted against, although for real reasons, not the ones you mention, besides, other Nations have been to the moon already, stuck their flags in the dirt and yelled "finders,keepers!" It's those nations that should be aware of the current UNSC resolution currently being voted on... They will lose any claims to the moon.

if you all claim things in space.
i will claim the intire earth!
everybody on this planet will have to pay me a fee, and no other nation is able to claim (parts of) this planet!
Ahem, now I think of it, I've always wanted my own generic "Hurtling Asteroid", then again, I've always wanted my own space ship to land on my "Hurtling Asteroid". Wonder how I could possibly build and fly one by myself... gee, I mean if I could not use my "Hurtling Asteroid" then what is the point...
And there is a fairly good argument I would think. You know, having this thing but been incapable to use, while possibly making quit a few people angry with your complete stupidity... though now I think of it, why worry...
Because once you claim your generic space based object, bang, a government, possibly even your own, can... "remove" it from you.
Hmmm? Yes, never mind...

Hey, go easy on the delegate from Over den Yssel - not everyone has english as their native tongue. Otherwise, perhaps we should start writing in dutch??? I know I would certainly have problems!
if it was something more serious (such as a proposal) then you would be justified in complaining. But it isn't so it's not that important.
We respectfully request that the delegate from Enn ceases their nitpicking.

Hello and greetings,
I wonder if it is a little premature to be claiming whole celestial bodies
for oneself.
This clearly must be done properly, with the possibility of going over
contracts/resolutions and correcting/amending them as the need
- not the greed - arises.
To hurriedly say "this is mine" "that is mine" is a little premature (a)
because space exploration should be done in unison with the rest of the
UNSC and even this upcoming resolution should be open to amendments
as and if the need arises, and (b) what if - and this may be far-fetched -
another species has already laid claim to these planets?
Besides, living on Pluto would be disastrous, as it would be
FREEZING there! :lol:
This must be done with thought, not the hurried machinations
of greed.
Kind regards to you all,
King Aramas Verimagne VI

As soon as this resolution is signed on by YOUR nation, than you give up any claim to the moon and planets. The rsolution clearly states that "no nation may lay claim to the moon" but does not mention anything about individuals!!!
OOC :
All right.. here is an article on Dennis Hope. this is the guy who claimed the moon and planet baclk in 1980 and has been selling acres.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2003/Sep-29-Mon-2003/news/22251899.html
Here is an excerpt:
" His professor discussed the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, signed by all members of the United Nations. Hope remembered that all governments agreed no nation would have sovereignty or control over any of the celestial bodies.
But they did not mention individuals owning planets, he recalled."
...........
" He filed his declaration of ownership in the local courthouse and quickly sent letters to the governments of the United States, Soviet Union and the United Nations. In those letters he expressed his ownership rights and intention to sell and subdivide the moon and planets."
" Actually, these and other nations have no right to stop him because they surrendered any ownership rights in the U.N. treaty,"
It may not mean much.. but I CLAIMED the moon MINE first, and I informed the United Nations first, so it is mine. But you can use it if you like.
Let me remind you all that Mercury, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are still available. I didn't claim those
Not anymore :!:

What? The resolution hasn't been passed, so the bit about no nation claming it isn't in existance yet, you might as well say that the moon is your nation's before it is passed.
And nobody will recognise it, loophole or no. So, sorry, but you lose.

26-02-2004, 23:58
Tedmonton, don't you get it? The resolution is IMHO poor and has no RP value, but still, it doesn't say that "Individuals can lay claim to the moon and it will be recognized by all in the UN as valid." So frankly, nobody would give a flying crap whether or not you lay claim to the moon. It's completely meaningless.
"I claim the moon to be free from claim!" shouts a random passer-by.

Just remember, that once you sign that resolution, your nation can't lay claim to the moon, while I , as an indivdual can.

I would challenge any individual who claims ownership of a celestial body to back up that claim militarily. When Sophista launches its first lunar mining expedition, you are more than welcome to attempt to stop us from violating your property rights. I would also warn you against coming to the United Nations for help: as an individual, you aren't eligible for membership.

Does anybody here ever glance into the NationStates or International Incidents forums? I'd say that a majority of NS RPers are space tech, so a lot of territory is already claimed.
For instance, the Triumvirate of Yut - one of the most important alliances IMHO - is based off of Titan, one of Saturn's moons.
This has been an OOC post.
Tedmonton
27-02-2004, 06:17
Actually, as I declared in my original message, I own "Saturn and all its moons".
I lhave allowed the Triumvirate of Yut to use the moon as long as they tidy up their garbage.
Also, if you want to challenge my claim to the moon then do what you want. Its mine. I declared it FIRST.
And don't say that junk about me being an induvidual.. just read the article I already posted. It will explain everything.
By the way, I'd like to thank everyone for continuing to reply to this message and keeping it on the first page.
You goon what kind of idiot wants to claim right to the moon, Christ!!! :x
Ho hum, when you've all buggered off to your planets, Bahgum will move it's outlying pub enterprises into your nations and claim them all for Bahgum and Northernkind.

I highly doubt it. our fair planet has been in existence for less than two years. And Unless you want to claim time travel then your claim isn't valid.

The claim was made by one of my countrymen. A letter was submitted to our parliment yesterday, detailing this prior claim. As there are millions of people claiming to have done millions of things every day, you cannot expect our government to assess the accuracy of such statements.
We are attempting to look into that claim now. However, as our UN delegate said earlier, we cannot promise anything.
After reviewing all the evidence, it seem that the claim was not submitted to the UN. However a claim on Halley's Comet was submitted and approved today. The comet has been renamed Smith's Comet.

Why would an individual notify the UN? You cannot belong to the UN as an individual and anyway most countries outside the UN will simply blast his a** to the next galaxy.
Ok, let's say you own the moon:
- I as a UN MEMBER go to the moon and start a base
- You tell me I have to pay you taxes
- I say to you: "go take a hike"
- You say that the UN recognized your claim and that I would be in out of it if I don't comply
- I say I don't care
- I resign the UN and I put a bullet in Mr. Tedmonton's head
- Since there are no UN resolutions about inheritance, I President Bernal of the Community of Bariloche take the moon for myself right after you die and I will have the military of my country and my allies to back me up until the day I die.

While the hard working nations would bear the brunt of the cost, labor, etc.
I urge all capitolist and conservative nations to vote against this resolution.
besideds. My nation has alredy explored outer reigons of space with probes.
So why should I not use my technology to benifit my nation.
MAY the moon be swarmed with probes!!!
I just hope it doesnt cause a probe war.
Frank Smith has decided to continue naming objects after the authors of proposals. The recently claimed asteriod, Vesta, will be named after the proposal which proves itself most "worthy".

Nice try... but you're a week late!
I already claimed the moon and a few planets in our salar system. Some other inividuals claimed other planets... Germany and France claimed Haleys Comet and an asteroid belt... is that it????
ANyway... you get the rest of the 'solid' stuff in space and have made it free. that is until you die! At that point, you can not give your solid matter in space to anyone and it becomes a free for all again. Just consult page two of this discussion for details. Its all been decided and approved before the UN. SOrry about your luck.
By the way... all the stars out there that make up most of the 'matter' in the universe., well, they are GAS, not solid. You better claim all gas matter too and in fact claim all liquid matter too befor someone else does.
Mr. Tedmonton

To: Esteemed members of the United Nations.
The current proposal before the United Nations states:
"Whereas, no nation can claim title to the Moon,"
It does not say that an 'individual' can not lay claim to the moon.
Well I, Mr. Tedmonton, who is an individual and not representing the Nation of Tedmonton declare that the entire moon and all mineral rights are hereby mine.
I further declare the the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and all of their moons are mine. The other planets are up for grabs.
I hereby am initiating a 5% tax on the any moon bases that the United Nations sees fit to build. Express written consent from me, Mr. Tedmonton is required before construction of said moon bases can begin.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Tedmonton
Please remit $50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 for damages you have caused with your moon to our seaside resorts with your tidal activities. Also, please cease and desist all such activities forthwith or be prepared to remit similar sums each day in which you damage our coasts with your tides that you make with your moon. Also, you will be fined a similar amount each night that you light your moon over our nation since it is illegal to light any lights after curfew.

That is the most ridiculous claim I have ever heard of. Tide are quite beneficial. The tide created the beaches in the first place. And as for the lighting, Mr. Tedmontondid not light any lights. The moon is lit due to solar reflection.
Och Mon! Yer a loony! Yer cannae claim yon moon, The Feigle has it, we saw it in oor bucket last nicht!
Och Nonny Noon
We ha' the Moon
Ye are a Loon
Yer worse than a GOON!

Cograts to Mr. Tedmonton on his seat in the UNSC board. The election was close, but with a judicious use of voter fraud...fixing... campaining, he managed to win the last seat
