Hi guys, I've put this up hear to try and get some popularity for my new proposal. It's basicly a proposition that all WA members get involved in the space race, expand your nation beyond our globe as it were. I think mosty nations would like to be famous for their massive space stations, I hav'nt written much in the descriptions because of an accident, let's leave it at that but please vote for my proposition.;)

Hi, I see that you are new here. You have the wrong forum.

oh haha, wer am i supposed to be?

World Assembally forum. If the world assembally doesn't bite, you could try peddaling it in International Incidents(though not as a WA proposal, obviously).

Probably there.

I reported it here:http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14041990

So wait a few minutes and it should magically disappear and reappear in the right place. Hopefully. :)

Thanks guys haha, well if your a delegate, feel free to vote for it if you want

Its not that simple. I think you have to write up a formal proposal. Could be wrong though. this nation has never been a member, and I pulled my other nation out months ago.

And here I was thinking we were going to discuss the fact that China is rather busy with their own space program.

Awww.... I was looking forward to training scrotum-seeking space weasels. :(

You can't win 'em all, Lunatic Goofballs. Sometimes you'll just have to be content with mundane Terran scrotum-seeking weasels, just like the rest of us.

Moved, General > WA

I am no WA Regional delegate but.... looking over this proposal. It's very weak. You need details to explain what this propsal is going to do?

What about a International Space Station?

What about research for the construction of space colonies on the moon etc?

What application of resorces are nations going to need for this 'space race'?

Sorry Lunatic Goofballs....but keep trying and working on this proposal. I think it's a good idea to aim towards the heavens of space, but at the moment all you have is a preamble towards an intresting proposal.

Can you post in this forum if you're not a member of the WA? If not, sorry and please just delete this post.

I am a member nation of the WA, I am just not a regional delegate. There is a diffrence.

I am neither. Though I like this topic, so I may join.

:) Oh you should join the WA. If you like getting into polticial objectives. I wouldn't mind helping to rewrite this proposal to make it worthy of voting on.

Who is going to provide the funding for the smaller nations to get involved? We currently do not have funding we view as possible to set aside for a venture like this.

If you need any help writing this resolution, I'd be happy to help. I know quite a bit about space exploration and why its a good idea.

Um. Right. OK. No.

I'm afraid this falters on the rocks of roleplaying, which is why I'm posting out-of-character for once. For a fair few of us, a space race is well beyond our budgets. For others, it would be a definite entertainment. For those who already RP spacecraft, a WA resolution would likely be a tad annoying. Those which are star-spanning empires aren't going to take any space resolution quietly, as can be seen from the insane screaming match we had over entirely sane proposals to ban space-based weaponry a month or two ago.

This is more likely to work as a fun roleplay in the International Incidents forum. Trying to frame it as a WA resolution is only going to lead to heartache, I'm afraid.

We the DRS would like to voice our concern over this attempted reach for the stars. U are basically saying that Space is up for grabs to any country with the capacity to produce a space program! The first world countries would take advantage of this opportunity to expand and before u know it, some superpower has the moon.

We here is Sarilan are currently working on a resolution that classifies Space as international territory and under the command of the World Assembly. That way we are not expressing our selfish interests when it comes to space exploration and colonization but represent humanity as a whole.

RIght guys, the proposal is weak i know because it was the first attempt on a propaosal,and i thought i was supposed to give a brief explanation, then once its popular enough i could write the real thing! umm ye so big f*ck up there, I WILL re-write the proposal in my own time, and for whoever's going on about 1st world countries taking advantage,.......take a look at the world you live in guys! (out of character). I will also make it a mild strengh proposal which means it affects some! not all countries. End of......for now

I will also make it a mild strengh proposal which means it affects some! not all countries.

Er, no. Mild strength means it doesn't affect countries much. It will apply to all countries in the WA, no matter what. How much affect it has on an individual country (in RP terms, ignoring actual stat effects for the moment) will of course depend on the wording and individual circumstances. Most proposals about the sea are pretty irrelevant to land-locked nations, for example, but one which demands that everyone has a navy would present them with a bit of a problem.

Well all our nations DO have airspace and I think it will fit in the mild strength section anyway, If u don't like it, don't vote!, many people on the other hand DO like the sound of this proposal. Quit your whining.

It wasn't whining so much as pointing out that you seemed to have a misconception. I look forward to seeing your proposal when it's ready, partly because space-based proposals are so damn difficult to do well!

While the idea is interesting, there are some nations who have already reached the goal that you mention in the beginning. This 'Space Race' is already completed to them. It wouldn't affect them in the least. I'm declining to state whether or not Rutianas is one of them.

There also lies a problem with nations in the WA that do not have the technology necessary to enter a 'Space Race'. These nations would not be able to comply because they simply don't have the technology.

It's not a good idea to suggest that nations with the technology share it with those who don't. It'd be the equivalent of handing a toddler the button to a nuclear arsenal and telling said toddler not to push the big red button. Rutianas, for one, will not share our technology with a nation that we feel is not yet ready for such advances.

If the proposal is only to get all WA nations to become involved in a 'Space Race' we would have to vote no.
