I remember doing something like that in 8th grade. I gave a speech about how women shouldn't have rights and voted every resolution down (they were shit to begin with) at some gay regional thing. Food was good though

I was the FYR of Macedonia and tried to declare war on Malta by writing to the war room every...5 minutes. I said it was " A gateway for communist invasion from Antarctica and Africa into Europe and the Mediterranean."


Unfortunately they never let me go to war with Malta, so I voted no on every resolution, even ones I was involved in making.

In high school for AP US Gov't we were required to attend the model UN.  I went to an all guys school.  We introduced a resolution called the "Two-Thirds Resolution" whereby every woman's vote only counts as 2/3 of a vote.  We actually convinced enough people to get this resolution to pass.

Also, my friend was in another model UN where they were China, who gets a veto.  They vetoed every single resolution.  Not one thing passed in their group.
