It's the Columbia Model United Nations Conference & Exposition.

I'm going to be a "Spartan citizen". No clue what that means, but I will when I get my packet.

I figured NationStates would have several people in Model UN clubs here, as the conferences here in International Incidents are very similar to conferences there (except there's the palimarary procedure and all that).

I personally know the grandson of a Greek prime minister, and the son of a Greek Finance Minister, so my Greek should be fine.

Cannot wear a costume because Columbia mandates "Western Business Atire". :)

The one person who said he was going couldn't be, because he lives on the other side of the ocean!

Here's what I'm in:

The Peloponnesian War: Sparta
The year is 431 BCE, and the two most powerful political entities in the western world are on the brink of war. The Greek city-state of Athens, made rich by the spoils of the Second Persian War and enjoying immense political influence as the leader of the Delian League, commands the most powerful navy in the Mediterranean. The city-state of Sparta, whose security is threatened by Athens' sudden rise to prominence, is known throughout the western world for its fierce warriors and the strict discipline of its army. Dust off your Thucydides; this "joint-simulation" committee will require delegates to play the roles of key commanders and decision makers in the Spartan army. The Spartan committee will face-off with the Athenian committee in real-time battle strategy, with our crisis staff acting both to ferry information back and forth between the opposing sides and to introduce unexpected developments as the weekend progresses.

Harvard... That's a possiblity for our team next year. I'll talk to the president of the club about it, as we are closer to Boston than New York anyway (Niskayuna, NY).

Are you going next year?

I did go to a model UN thing a couple of years ago.

I got stuck with Rwanda. That was annoying. So I started sending messages to the girl who was America, but then one of the UN people read them and told me off. :(

Sounds fun. Can I be an evil superpower and circumvent international biological and chemical-weapons laws?

You can send your Chair and/or Vice-Chair a message that that is a serious breach of Parliamentary Procedure. Notes to other delegates IN the room are always confidential. If it is send to a delegate not present in the room, it can be intercepted, which resulted in a note of an Athenian Merchant asking a boy out in the other committe being intercepted and read aloud in my committee! ;)

SPARTA WON!
I (Echemus) bribed 15 Spartan Assaisans to kill the Atheninan government and "fire & oil" bomb "their meeting place". I (Echemus) had to bribe them to do it, because the other delegates wanted to declare peace with Athens (even though we took every city but their capital) because Persia declared war on us. I actually bribed them because they excuted my beloved Athenian Merchant, Thenycrates, who I managed to defect to Sparta. She must of loved Sparta then, because she infected them with the plague because she was excuted and her head sent to us! She was on the verge of sending Sparta the secrets to the Athenian sewer system, but Platistolas called an advanced sewer system "a serious brech of Spartan tradition" because real Spartan men do not mind the smell. ;)

I also built a temple to the Greek God of Wine in my family's estate dedicated to the slaves, because Thenycrates said that the slaves would like that god because they like "wine and boobs". :)

Your local Model UN Club has to register with Columbia University in November or December of 2005 for the Janurary 2006 conference. If your schools does not have one, you can create one, and you can make yourself president! ;) Website: www.CMUNCE.org

I go to Bermun as an admin (Berlin Model United Nations.

Actually, notes are always to be screened unless they're to the chairs. Seriously, do you know what people write to each other? There was one guy picking up every girl possible, including me, and a bunch of girls gossiping on the back of a reso sheet and so on.

But I'm not going to CMUNCE. My boyfriend is going to UNA-USA though...the one in New York.

At CMUNCE, they are screened if they need to travel to reach their destination (as in to another person in another comittee), but not if the person is in the same room, as it can be hand develivered.

Never heard of that one.

I just went to one in Contra Costa, California. I was Chile, on the Security Council, and eventually spearheaded a "coalition of the willing" against China, in reaction to the Chinese invasion of Pakistan.

The Chinese Delegate got pissed at the Pakistani one. The Pakistani lady was quite a bitch, really. She deserved the further nuclear strike. Still, it was fun invading China as Chile, with Germany being restoring its Luftwaffe to aid us.

Why is it that every MUN conference ends in a threat to nuke someone?

We had something very similar happen at CMUNCE in the "Six-Way-Talks".

What happened?:

The delegate from Taiwan ordered North Korea to disarm within 48 hours. An hour later: Taiwan got nuked. Then America, China, Japan, and Russia combined to form the superpower of Russamerakoreachinapan (RUSSIA-KOREA-AMERA-CHINA-PAN) that ruled the world, and France got kicked out of the Secruity Council after that. :)
