The Secretary-General feels that Member States should be aware that despite nominating itself for a full term on the Security Council, the Government of the Republic of China is refusing responsibility to contribute funding to the United Nations, and has issued several public (albeit candid) statements suggesting it would work to curtail the General Assembly's ability to budget its own operations.
NOMINATIONS CLOSE THIS SATURDAY
[TIMER=07/23/2016 4:00 PM GMT;NOMINATIONS CLOSED]VOTES IN PL0X[/TIMER]
I figure I've waited long enough. Deadline for nominations is Saturday, 23 July, 4:00 PM GMT. Anyone that hasn't self-nominated must acknowledge their candidacy to be eligible for the next stage.
I am also cracking down on absenteeism. Nominees that have not confirmed or declined candidacy by the deadline, and players that have not otherwise acknowledged the Security Council vote, will be issued Shame Points. If there's no letter in the leftmost column next to your country, you're doing bad. If you haven't cast a ballot since the voting started, you're doing bad. If you haven't stated here you're not voting at all, you're doing bad.
Also, several of you have not exercised all your votes. It's your prerogative to send in blank ballots, and you won't be penalized for it, but don't complain if the winning candidate isn't to your liking. I have everyone's individual votes on file, and can provide a listing if so desired.
tl;dr: Get your votes in. Don't be that guy.
TurkeyByzantium became such a schoolyard people were literally airlifting the embassy buildings out of the country.
