Dear members of the United Nations,

Due to feelings of guilt and a desire to set things right that I have done wrong, I would like to air my dirty laundry. Please feel free to use this post to get any UN-related guilt off of your shoulders. Reconciliation can be a good thing.

First, to the nation who I slammed during the "Rights of the Disabled" debate for asking me to use people-first language, I'm very sorry. I never should have jumped down your throat and rocked you for trying to be respectful. Sorry about that.

Second, to all signatories of the International Fair Trade Agreement, sorry for putting that I was a member of the "International Fair Trade Association" in my signature until just now. Such an organization does not exist, and I just found out (because I'm a lazy idiot) that my application for IFTA was rejected a long time ago. Please accept my deeply-felt apology and please consider the application that I personally submitted on the IFTA forums without any great anger toward me.

Third, to the National Sovereignty Organization, I'm sorry I joined you. I don't mean that sarcastically, I just hope you aren't upset that I, who very often votes in favor of or submits proposals of questionable national sovereignty value in the name of humanitarianism or democracy, served as a member of your group and had you in my signature. It's not you, it's me.

Fourth, to the moderators who I angered with two or three illegal/stupid proposals (like the fiscal responsibility piece I did, the memorial I proposed and the other administrative things), my bad. I'll try to be a good boy from here on.

Fifth, to Ausserland, sorry for not realizing that your people are dwarves. Enough said.

Basically, sorry for the times I've sucked in the UN. There. Now it's all out in the open. I welcome other nations to join me in airing UN-related dirty laundry and letting it all loose. This really does feel kind of good, as a matter of fact.

To anyone else out there I've angered, feel free to post here and I'll do my best to admit any other wrongs you bring to my attention.

I'm STILL trying to track down who "borrowed" my government's Spice Melange. Thonberger left the package in the Diplomatic Lounge and when she returned it was gone. The Kennyites still claim innocence, but you know it is hard to tell with them if even THEY know what is going on.

Quite honestly, if OMGTKK shows up here, this could rapidly become a twenty-page document chronicling every major diplomatic scandal of the last five years.

Quite honestly, OMGTKK won't show up here unless they feel a need to rag on us for our past mistakes.

OK, but my government is still concerned about the loss of the Spice Melange. At this point it probably has been "used", but we are still optimistic.

Please do elaborate as to the properties of this Spice Melange. You have piqued our curiousity.

I apologize for being a sovereigntist, and advocating change in the UN. Sorry about that, folks.
Just kidding, naturally.

OOC:

Speaking as a Moderator of the National Sovereignty Organization forum, let me state flatly and emphatically that you owe the NSO no apology. Lock-step agreement on the issue of national sovereignty is not a requirement for membership. In fact, most of us value having folks with a variety of opinions and views on the issue. We believe that hearing a variety of opinions helps us to question and clarify our own thinking. The "observer" status allows folks whose views often differ markedly from those of many other members to participate in the organization without associating their nations with it as full members.

We do not accept applications for membership automatically. When a person registers on the forum, the membership is given an opportunity to comment before the account is validated. Your account was validated. That ought to tell you something.

[EDIT: I get it now.]

OMGTKK- have you smoked a certain package of Spice Melange recently, by any chance?

Hotrodia and Ausserland- I truly appreciate your kindness (well, Ausserland, at least). I suppose I really could belong with your organization, given that I do feel strongly about national sovereignty over issues like gambling, drugs, nudity, guns, tariffs, prostitution, abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty (for the most part)... if you'd be willing to keep me, then I'd be willing to stay. I rescind my requested resignation.

Hope you like my restored signature.

Speaking as the Founder of the NSO, I'm in full agreement with Auss.

Okay, sorry, take it easy, brother. This is supposed to be healing, not inflammatory. Besides, I have no problem with you. You've never done anything questionable to me (as far as I know).

Okay, I've just been accepted as a signer of the International Fair Trade Agreement. Wow. Now I've updated my signature 5 times today. Check it out.

I'm STILL trying to track down who "borrowed" my government's Spice Melange.

I can honestly say that I have, and I have no intentions whatsoever of having using spice melange. And there is no way I'm going to try that bottled stuff with the "dead baby worm inside."

I did not have Spicy relations with that menage.....I mean Melange.:p

I apologize...

























































FOR NOTHING!:p

Bob Flibble
UN Representative

While I ain't a member of this here organization. I'd like to apologize for my recent attempts to shoot the representative from Discoversitile. Or at least I'd like to apologize about my failures.

As the UN representitive for the Dark Empire, i admit to and appologise for having Sexual Relations with the Omigodtheykilledkenny's Ambassador's Understudy's Secretary's Intern.

Unnamed Rep---

I believe I owe Kenny an apology for my beginnings in the UN. I had just come out of General, and had yet to dissociate UN with RL. Thus, that wild and kuh-razy country of OMGTKK took me quite by surprise.

"Hmm... I'd say the only thing I feel like apologizing for is being too lazy to actually attend debates anymore and having my computer do it for me, so that I can hang out in the Bar, for reasons I can't quite tell, or in my brand new flat upstairs watching television or killing people virtually." To Wolfgang's dismay, the holograph of him currently speaking shimmered, giving itself away. "Er... Damn. Well, on with my game, then."

Quite honestly, if OMGTKK shows up here, this could rapidly become a twenty-page document chronicling every major diplomatic scandal of the last five years.

Well, there was that time when the Federal Republic's former UN ambassador was dangling naked outside his office window, suspended by bedsheets.

Ah, good times... :D

Unnamed Rep---Um, you had sex with a 19-year-old frat boy named Ryan?

Thus, that wild and kuh-razy country of OMGTKK took me quite by surprise.Hey! Our girls may have gone wild, but we are not by any measure a "kuh-razy country." We're merely sanity-challenged.

And as long as we're all being contrite here, we apologize for nuking Norderia.

Ah, good times... :DYou know, I was thinking on a clever thing to say to this, but honestly, I got nothin'. You win.

OBSERVING that some nations find our resolution writing style annoying, and

BELIEVING that a better resolution-writing style might produce less hostility in debate on the floor of this body,

WE THE DIPLOMATIC MISSION OF THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF COMMUNITY PROPERTY DO HEREBY

DECLARE that we will investigate a new proposal-writing style.

And as long as we're all being contrite here, we apologize for nuking Norderia.

You won't find us ever apologising for that.

You know, I was thinking on a clever thing to say to this, but honestly, I got nothin'. You win.

You disappoint me, amigo. ;)

The nation of Ardchoille is heartily sorry for anything it may have said, thought or even implied that may have given any degree of offence at any time, in any place, to any nation.

We are particularly sorry for the rumour about the General Secretary, the penguins and the elephant.

To demonstrate our repentance, the head of our delegation, Dicey Reilly, will jog OR say she has jogged OR imply that she is jogging three times around the circumference of the lake outside the UN Building.

As the NS UN is such a broadminded and forgiving body, this will surely give us a clean slate, enabling us to resume saying, thinking and implying any number of things at any time, in any place, to any nation.

Such as, "Did you hear about the General Secretary, the dolphins and the hippo?"

(We would like it noted that we have never said, thought or implied anything but the highest of praise for the Building Management, and please, may we come back inside now?)

Oh, and we're sorry that Jack Riley kidnapped Bast. Even though he didn't. And there's no such person as "Jack Riley."

We, the Delegation from the Great Star Empire, has nothing to apologize for.

And you can all go to he-*whisper in ear* what? huh? Death Star? "spend the night on the 40th floor tied to a sack of bricks?" oh, yeah...

Umm...*ahem*, the Great Star Empire would like to apologize for our lack of apologies, and for wasting all the time of the very nice, very beautiful people in this assembly. You are all very nice and very smart and please don't kill us.

Thank you for your time.

The Nation of Tzorsland would like to apologize, qouting the letter of Paul to the Romans we read ... wait you mean apologizing has nothing to do with apologetics? Stupid language.

On behalf of Tzorsland I would like to apologize for us sending in a female were-rat into OMGTKK on the pretext of a "diplomatic mission." We would also like to apologize for having our were-penguin female naval officers take their shore leave in OMGTKK during the penguin mating season.

And on a personal note, I would personally like to apologize to UN Management for the day I secretly replaced the Starbucks coffee with Foldgers crystals. People actually started to like the coffee, until the decafinated stuff started giving them withdrawal. For the record I never did substitute Spice Melange for the Starbucks, so you will have to come up with some other reason why Outlaw Necrophilia passed by the margin it had.

Um, you had sex with a 19-year-old frat boy named Ryan?

Possibly.

We've got a lake outside the building? Hmmm, I really shouldn't spend the whole day in my office...


Christelle Zyryanov,
Ambassador to the United Nations,
PDSRA

It's the one where the sedge has withered from the heath and no birds sing. You'll often see Neville alone and palely loitering beside it.

All right, maybe my office is a less depressing place after all...


Christelle Zyryanov,
Ambassador to the United Nations,
PDSRA

I apologize for thinking that the United Democratic Communist Party is way too long of a name to be an actual, legitimate political movement.

I also apologize for thinking about a 19 year-old frat boy named Ryan. Actually, I think that's more of an apology to me than anyone else.

I apologize for our government's loud firecracker-raves in the field beside the lake that apparently withered the sedge and scared off the birds. We will promptly move our next firecracker-rave to the parking lot outside of the van belonging to OMGTKK's IT guy. You're all invited.
