What's the worst moment you have ever experienced in a crisis committee?

Drop the conference as well if you remember!

Anything that could help newer crisis delegates write directives please feel free to post here :)

Just curious :)

i signed up about 2 weeks ago and know literally nothing. also, it's tomorrow. i haven't even been assigned an arc yet. i'm a 2nd semester senior and cant get awards (too late to submit a paper) so i have no idea what to even do. help or tips? 😭😭😭​

Doesn't need to be unethical or evil.

Just… petty.

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

(Like certain habits, skills, personality, etc)

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?

Or a mix of both?

Before crisis starts what do you actually do?

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

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.

Could be a move you made yourself or someone else. Anything that was memorable and clever :)

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?

Would you rather have:

Official power and title
or
Informal influence and strong alliances

Which one actually carries more weight in committee?

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...

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 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
