Yeah, Karmi's back to be a bit of a pest. :hello:

Why is everyone, save one person, against this? I mean, it already written in the rules. Which, can be found here.

The proposal was also written at the request of the NS Moderators. Well one of them anyway. That post can be found here

This is an In Character justification of an Out of Character rule. That's all.
 
This proposal basically gives an IC justification for an existing OOC rule. I can't vote here myself because my UN is in another region, but I hope you guys vote for this.
 
FALCONKATS:
Please vote against because if it passes then what is the use of the United Nations

The UN will still have many uses, like passing new laws.

Read the posts just before and just after yours.

If this proposal passes, it will have no effect on your nation other then boost your military/police budget.
 
For, for the same reasons given by karmicaria and Winter Vacationers. The United Nations has never had an army, will never have an army, and considering how it's run, probably should not have an army. Voting against this proposal does not accomplish anything.
 
The vote was 3/9, so I have voted against the resolution. Thanks to all who voted, and thank you Karmicaria for visiting us and expressing your position.
