Passer: since it's crisis, there are all sorts of different kinds of committees going on; some are historical (King Henry VIII, Roanoke, Trojan War, KGB)
Now I really want to know Henry VIII's stance on the Trojan War.
In 1960 Nikita Khrushchev who was then Premier of the USSR appointed himself the head of their UN delegation and came to NY for a visit. During a speech criticizing the USSR, he took off his shoe and began to bang it on his desk, demanding to speak.
yeah but it's not the UN delegation
it's Khameinei's private council
It was a joke based on it being the model UN.
what does that even mean
what has that to do with the papacy
Given the time period, it wouldn't be odd to for a Papal Nuncio to sit on ruler's councils. The Church played politics and played it hard during that time.
that time?
WHAT TIME?

Actually meat tenderizer's what works on sea urchin and jellyfish stings. Ambulances in Hawai'i carry it specifically for those times that panicked tourists call about little Susie stepping on a wana or little Brian not leaving the big colorful man'o'war alone.
it sounds like a live reenactment of Medieval Total War more than the UN
cause it's crisis
what does that even mean
what has that to do with the papacy
it MEANS it's not a normal committee structure
it means i am a historical character
it means I can send communiques back to the pope and ask for things
...but you're in the UN?
no
there is no UN
we're all completely seperate from each other
the only committees that have to do with one another are the joint Trojan committees
one is the Trojan Council, one is the Achaean League
well why the hell did you call it a model UN then

We had a game in sixth grade similar to this whole thing, but it played more like a paper and stats based game of Civilization. And it ended with my group violently taking over all the other's land.
"Model UN" is just a catch-all term for committee-style political/historical debate.
I'm sure the General Assembly is the main attraction, but every host likes to spice things up a bit and include something interesting, especially for people who aren't political science majors, but have backgrounds in history, religion, etc.

He wants to marry Helen?
Man, who doesn't?
... Though I have heard that she's easy, so you might want to be careful there.
except even as a Papal Nuncio, I have little power
Cardinal Wolsey is there! He is a cardinal, and Henry's right hand man!
Although what I don't get about him is that he's pro-France, even though France is all athreatin' Rome
You have power. It's just a very subtle power. Spain should still be a strong ally of the Church at the time, and they had a lot of power. Given the pressures being put upon Catherine to produce an heir, it could be suggested that Spain may be more willing to take less of an issue with a divorce if the Church suggested it was in their best interest. To work your power you need to be subtle. No threats, but more suggestions about how much easier life is if they work with you rather then against you.
And you're a Papal Nuncio. Wolsey in theory out ranks you, but your an Ambassador and have more actual power then he does. Your word is binding on the Pope, and you have the power to make treaties.

It's funny to watch the look of disgust and dismay on the parent's faces when the EMT whips out the bottle and pours it onto the wound.
I have taken a blurry picture of my WIP test model by means of holding it in front of a web cam with too much light on it washing out all the carapace colors!
I really need a new charger for my real camera.

So Hakkes is basically the consiglieri for the Don in the Vatican?
The model UNSC taught us alot about how the UN works alright but probably not what the arrangers wanted to teach us
it taught us that firstly, everything in the general assembly is a pointless waste of time, everything is done in the back rooms, and nothing important ever gets done

My concept of a meat tenderizer is a big ass wooden mallet with spikes on the side.
Which would be far more hilarious in this case.

Spain is being roundly defeated in their battles with France. Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire is abed with syphilis. Communications with the Pope are cut off, on account of France murdering our envoys.

Yes. She pretty much has that level of autonomy. Ambassadors in the period didn't do a lot of back and forth communication simply because it took too long. So they were people who's judgment was trusted by their rulers. It's why she shouldn't worry about Wolsey, but Wolsey should very much worry about her. He may be a Cardinal but she has the ear of the Pope.
Oh my god. So I finally got it by just throwing wave after wave of my men at it. Plus side: gunpowder, constantly at war foe no longer has one easily defended city in my side. Time to tech like crazy.
