Model Students

[ Have 1 Nerd Hangout, Have 1 Prep Hangout | None | 100c ]

HADLEY: Addison! Do you have a second to talk? This school is getting pretty popular, but I’m worried that the campus might be ungovernable.

ADDISON: Ungovernable?

HADLEY: It’s a real problem. First, it’ll just be long lines at the cafeteria. Then it’ll be mass hysteria and almost definitely cannibalism! This school cries out for order!

ADDISON: That sounds… grim. What do you think we should do about it?

HADLEY: At my last school, we held a Model United Nations. It was a great way to field candidates for Student Government. Plus, participating looks good on a college application.

ADDISON: Okay, let’s hold a Model UN! Where do we start?

HADLEY: First things first. In order to create an authentic Model UN, we’ll need a diverse student body with lots of different interests.

HADLEY: Amazing! Who knew there were so many different kinds of students at this school?

ADDISON: So we can convene the Model UN now, right?

HADLEY: Almost. Before the assembly can begin, we’ll need to prepare a resolution and select delegates to debate it. Any ideas on the resolution?

ADDISON: Hmm, let me think. What about… Drill for oil… on the moon!

HADLEY: Unconventional… but energy security is a hot-button issue right now. It just might be crazy enough to work! Anyway, now that we’ve got our resolution, let’s select some delegates!

HADLEY: Allow me to introduce the delegate from Belgium!

KENNEDY: Heh… forget board games, Model UN is the real game of global domination!

HADLEY: Mostly accurate! And over here is the delegate from Switzerland! Are you ready to address the assembly?

BAILEY: Almost. I’m still working on my opening line. What do you think about this? ‘Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to be franc’... get it? Because Switzerland’s national currency is the Swiss Franc? What do you think?

ADDISON: Heh… that’s pretty funny!

BAILEY: That’s good news! I’ll be sure to include loads more puns just like that one!

HADLEY: ...wonderful. I guess every Model UN has to start somewhere! What really matters is the debate that comes after! Let’s put forward the resolution! This is fantastic! All the delegates are in position and ready to debate the resolution. What say the good delegates from Switzerland?

BAILEY: Who can pay attention? China is in the back row making out with Poland! It’s totally kiss-tracting! Er… I mean distracting!

KENNEDY: Enough of these parlor games! Belgium declares war!

HADLEY: What? On who?

KENNEDY: Does it matter? We plan to conquer everyone eventually!

HADLEY: You can’t do that! You’re missing the whole point of the Model UN!

ADDISON: Hadley, this is chaos!

HADLEY: I know! One minute we were ready to debate the resolution, and the next, we were staring down the barrel of Model World War III! Can you help?

ADDISON: I can try… Hey! Kennedy, what’s with all the hostilities?

KENNEDY: Sorry about that. Me and my buds are just working out a little aggression. We’re just really bummed out that there’s so many games coming out, we can’t afford to buy them all!

ADDISON: Hmmm… I’ll see what I can do.

[ Spend 3000 coins | None | 15b ]

HADLEY: Whoa… did you just go into a Gamestop and clean house?

ADDISON: Yup. Turns out there’s a lot of chiseled-jaw buzz-headed space marines firing pulse rifles out there! Will this end the hostilities in the Model UN?

HADLEY: I’d say we’re back down to DEFCON 2. Almost all the delegates have ratified the Peace Treaty except for Switzerland. They’re threatening to withhold support unless the rest of the Model UN accedes to their demands.

ADDISON: What do they want?

HADLEY: Um, apparently, Switzerland is tired of being seen as neutral. They say they have feelings just like any other country…

ADDISON: Not sure I’m following you…

HADLEY: Basically, they’re nerds, and seeing Model UN turn into an international flirt fest made them realize that they’re lonely.

ADDISON: Let me see what I can do.

[ Complete a Successful Date with a Nerd | None | 500c ]

HADLEY: You did it! The delegate from Switzerland went on a date, and now the country has signed the Peace Treaty!

ADDISON: Eh… no big deal.

HADLEY: Well, whatever you did, Switzerland is thrilled. They just issued a proclamation on Facebook. ‘French is 1 of 4 official languages in Switzerland. Also 1 of 4 types of kissing we like to do.’

ADDISON: Talk about diplomatic relations…

HADLEY: Heh… nobody ever said politics was pretty.

[ A Level 3+ Gamer, A Level 3+ Nerd except Addison (Kennedy, Bailey) | 3h | 5r ]

HADLEY: The good news is we’re all set to reconvene the Model UN, and this time, we’ll make sure to avoid any international incidents! Let’s collect our delegates! Okay, all the delegates are in position and ready to debate the resolution… for reals this time! What say the good delegates from Switzerland?

BAILEY: Just like our flag, Switzerland gives the resolution a big plus! Belgium, do you concur?

KENNEDY: I concur!

HADLEY: The motion carries! We will drill for oil… on the moon!

ADDISON: Awesome! What happens now that the resolution has been passed by the Model UN?

HADLEY: The same thing that happens in the real UN… sweet endless bureaucracy! But forget all that! You did a pretty good job with the Model UN. Maybe this is a lesson to always shoot for the moon!

ADDISON: Well, when you put it like that…

HADLEY: Thanks again! See you later! I’ve got to go work on my acceptance speech.

ADDISON: ...for what?

HADLEY: Who knows? Never hurts to be prepared! Lates!
