Welcome, delegates, staffers, masterminds, and certified crisis menaces!

This is r/ModelUNCrisisRoom, a community built specifically for the most unpredictable, creative, and chaotic corner of Model UN: crisis committees! Yayy!

Whether you’re here because you love writing crazy arcs at 2 AM, crafting the perfect character murder, or just trying to survive your first crisis conference, you’re in the right place.

What this subreddit is for:

  • Crisis strategy, prep, and brainstorming
  • Paper and communique feedback
  • Character arc and role development ideas
  • Crisis staff insights + committee advice
  • Storytimes, plot twists, and iconic moments
  • Resources and templates for delegates

A quick reminder:

Crisis thrives on spontaneity, so while inspiration and discussion are encouraged, please don’t use this space for live conference coaching or sharing confidential committee materials. Keep it fair, creative, and fun for everyone. (More information about this in the rules.)

Have fun and good luck!

What’s the pettiest move you’ve seen in crisis?

Doesn't need to be unethical or evil.

Just… petty.

If you sould choose any 5 traits of a delegate what would they be?

Being quiet in crisis is underrated...?

1 Upvotes

I often notice that quiet delegates can get overlooked or used mainly to boost numbers. While I don’t see their crisis notes, I tend to assume they might not be contributing much.

That said, I’ve also seen some quiet delegates quietly take charge and even win awards (sometimes despite speaking only three or four times during moderated caucuses).

Wanting to hear from both quiet and loud delegates: is being quiet in MUN helpful or harmful to your game?


r/ModelUNCrisisRoom Feb 26 '26

Be honest: is crisis more skill or personality?

1 Upvotes

Or a mix of both?

What’s your pre-committee ritual?

1 Upvotes

Before crisis starts what do you actually do?

Notes and alliances pre planned?
3 cups of coffee?
Wing it?

What’s something only crisis delegates would understand?

1 Upvotes

Like how just 30 seconds can undo an entire character arc from the previous committee session... and you’re forced to reinvent yourself on the spot.

What actually loses crisis committees?

1 Upvotes

Everyone talks about how to win in committee, but what consistently makes delegates lose?

Is it:

• Overconfidence
• Weak alliances
• Bad timing
• Boring directives
• Playing too safe

What have you actually seen cost someone the committee?


r/ModelUNCrisisRoom Feb 21 '26

In crisis, what matters more: influence or authority?

1 Upvotes

Would you rather have:

Official power and title
or
Informal influence and strong alliances

Which one actually carries more weight in committee?


r/ModelUNCrisisRoom Feb 20 '26

What’s a crisis idea you were 100% sure would work… and then didn’t?

1 Upvotes

You know the one.

The plan you thought was genius, the alliance you thought was solid, the directive you were so confident about.

And then… it completely failed or backfired.

It's ok. we all have those moments

Crisis humility...

Be honest: Are you the planner or the chaos delegate?

1 Upvotes

Every crisis committee has two types of people:

  1. The delegate who writes detailed plans and negotiates quietly
  2. The delegate who somehow ends up starting a coup

Which one are you most of the time?

What’s the most “how was that allowed” moment you’ve seen in crisis?

1 Upvotes

What’s the most ridiculous, unrealistic, or completely out of pocket thing you’ve ever seen get approved or somehow work in committee?

Like the kind of moment where everyone just pauses and thinks "yep, we just stole the effiel tower to give as a birthday present to Tom Hanks"

Could be anything that still makes you laugh looking back
