STRANGE, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE STARTED THIS GIG?
WHO: All diplomatic imPorts that have signed up HERE.
WHERE: The capitals of Mexico, South Korea, and France. UN-attending imPorts will be placed in Davos, Switzerland.
WHEN: January 26th.
WHAT: Democracy in motion as imPorts attempt to use their skills of persuasion to convince each government or organization to lend the imPorts - and America - their help. Players may also use this log to play out the long flight over, planning, and other associated activities.
WARNINGS: None anticipated; let us know if we should change this!
Depending on their assignment, all imPort diplomats will find themselves either in Seoul, South Korea; Mexico City, Mexico; Paris, France; or for UN attending imPorts, Davos in the Swiss Alps. They will be housed in the American Embassies and regardless of their Registration status, will be treated as American citizens. UN-attending imPorts will be housed in a hotel close by. Their accommodations will be that of an extremely luxurious hotel, and they will be provided with anything that they should require, be it books on the art of rhetoric, access to state of the art computers and laptops, food or drink. They will also be provided with boardrooms in which the teams may convene to assemble a strategy. Don't be distracted by the free drinks; this is a task that will require clear minds!
After one night of preparation, on January 26th, each team of imPorts will meet with either the government of their assigned nation or the UN. They will be placed at a podium in front of a room full of politicians and diplomats, and will be expected to state their argument. They will be allowed to have an opening speech before each assembly asks each group three questions.
When either the opening speech has been concluded OR the question has been answered to each player's satisfaction, please put QUESTION NEEDED in the subject title of your comment, and we will deliver the next question.
Just remember: an invasion is coming! Even if acquiring the alliance of these governments and organizations do not help with the imPorts' immediate predicament, it will impact the future of the game at large!
Get ready, our silver-tongued imPorts, and good luck!

FINAL QUESTION
To that end, they have two questions to ask at this final juncture: one for the other two imPort diplomats to answer, but the one that is, perhaps, more weighted is directed towards Xavier.]
There are two things that we wish to know at this juncture. First, [one woman says, looking directly at Edgeworth,] what is your proposition for creating a collaboration with our government to work towards our, and the world's, protection? Is this a plan that you have formulated prior to your presence here?
And second...
[Now, she looks at Xavier, expression plainly curious. Their reception may have been chilly, but the people here are still just that: people. They fear nuclear war as much as anyone else does.]
How, pray tell, did you and your group of powered individuals stop a nuclear war?
no subject
It's something that's been discussed with other imPorts, yes. A few people in our community have suggested a similar plan - a task force of sorts, to defend our allies against Soviet aggression. Should Russia be so foolish as to retaliate with violence, we will send teams of imPorts to defend our allies with our skills and our talents. We will not let those who defend us be left defenseless ourselves.
[And now he'll step aside to let Xavier speak.]
no subject
Setting the brake on the chair, he folded his hands in his lap and while he made eye contact with the entire audience, his attention came back to the woman who had asked the questions. ]
Our circumstances then were much as they are here and now. The world was on edge, caught in a war of words and posturing but with the very real threat of mutually assured destruction. Because you see, just having power isn’t enough. You have to understand how to use it wisely, responsibly and that is a challenging lesson, for countries and for individuals.
[ That last bit was a nod to the fact that some powered individuals were intent upon causing mayhem. There was no point in denying that after all. ]
But this is why it is important for those of us who understand there is a better way to do these things, to stand up and not just say the words but live that better path.
When my world was driven to the brink of nuclear holocaust, that is what I and others sought to do. We stepped in to diffuse the tense situation, and to try and present a better solution. While we were successful with the former, unfortunately the latter did not go to plan.
[ Which was one way of putting it and the direction Charles was going to take. Because he wanted to keep to keep the conversation pertinent to this world and their circumstances, rather than his own back home. ]
However, as there is still a world, untouched by nuclear destruction, to try to show a peaceful path, I will count that as a win. What was important is that we learned that the answer did not lie with either powered individuals or humanity but rather with the actions and desires of both.
Having learned that lesson, and living through that period of time, I can promise you that I feel the same desire to secure the peace of this world, and, as you have just heard from my colleague, I am not alone in this sentiment.
[ Statement completed, he gave her a warm, sincere smile before releasing the brake on his chair and rolling back to position with Fraser and Edgeworth. ]
