Delegate Fedya Garin

From the corner of the room, a previously unnoticed speaker raised his voice. "While I do not like it, Arsin is correct. Unless any other candidates appear, Arsin seems to be the most logical choice." Looking around the room, he noticed some mildly surprised looks. "Oh, pardon me. Fedya Garin of LaPoC, reporting". He then leaned back, waiting for something.

Acting Speaker Edward McAllen

McAllen sighed but turned to face Bjorn Wolf. "You may be right, sir, but I resent the implication that I'm arragont. And Delegate De Weiss, please refrain from such inflammatory language." He shifted his stance. "I also would like to remind everyone that Delegate Arsin would not become the Speaker as you must renounce home citizenship, rather, Witchmond would provide one. Does anyone else wish to speak?"

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren (Yaim Rusur)


 "I have to say, my personal taste in speaker may be different than those of other nations." mentions Wren, who has finally gotten settled and located all possible angles of attack that could occur on this room of important people, "So perhaps instead of yelling at one another in aggressive tones, we should collect a list of, how would you say, qualifications as to why that nation should offer a speaker?" Wren, content with his comment, places one of his pistols on the table in front of him as a deterrent to assassins and checks the smartphone embedded in and arm gauntlet. 

Delegate Harold Arsin (Witchmond)
"Although I would love to know what we are working with, it's hard to describe a whole nation by a few qualifications. Perhaps, we should have all nations that are offering their nations to provide a speaker run elections on who to represent them as their candidate. Then, from each national candidate, we can vote on which to be the official speaker. In my oppinion, this will take some time, say a month or two, but it will atleast let us know what we have to choose from."

Acting Speaker Edward McAllen

McAllen nearly had a heart attack when Wren placed his handgun on the table. "Delegate Wren, weapons are not allowed in the Chamber. How did you even get those past Security?" Uniformed Security walked to Wren's table. "I must ask you to relinquish all weapons for the safety of everyone, Delegate Wren. Armed diplomats make everyone nervous."

McAllen then turned to Arsin. "Delegate Arsin, your idea is for your nation to elect a bunch of candidates to be elected by the Union. I hope you see why this is not a feasible solution. We need a permanent Speaker now, sir. If Witchmond is to provide a Speaker then I would hope that it is done quickly."

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren (Yaim Rusur)



Wren grumbled as he handed over his 2 pistols, but did so quicker when he saw numerous frightened faces. "My apologies, other than Delegate I am also the Leader, weapons mechanic, and highest ranking general in our army, sorry to scare you. I do however agree with, Mr. McAllen was it? This is a predicament that is best to be solved quickly, and I would rather not have this take too long.

Delegate Fedya Garin (Pile of Clay)

Nervously eyeing up the man who just pulled a very considerable amount of firearms from his trousers, Garin speaks up.
"Er, the Acting Speaker has a very solid point. Due to time constraints, we'll have to skip a step and perform the democratic process here. Besides-" he says, leaning back into his seat- "If a nation's people is not pleased with the future Speaker, they can provide a new candidate and we can consider a change. Agreed?"

Delegate Björn Wolf (Clifta)

"I feel the Speaker should simply be selected based on the approval of one's delegate peers. I suggest we nominate the most qualified candidates for election right here."

Acting Speaker Edward McAllen

"I agree, Delegate Wolf. I think that we should begin to vote. And before we begin, I would like to say a few words about my candidacy.

I helped build the Union. I view it as my greatest accomplishment. I have always fought for peace and international unity. And I always, in all cases, oppose war."

McAllen looked at Peter De Weiss as he said that last bit. Peter looked down for second.

Delegate Garland Gunderson (North Gralend)

Gary stood up and buttoned up his jacket. "The Confederation votes for Edward McAllen." Personally he couldn't care less about McAllen but it would almost be a matter of course now.

Delegate Peter De Weiss (Southern Gralend)

"I vote for anyone but Edward McAllen!"

Delegate Brian Hansen (Geramundo)

"Geramundo will be voting for McAllen. I mean, he pretty much already has the job. Might as well make it official and move on to actual business. Seems like a good enough guy, anyway."

Delegate Casmac Oreyna

Having strode into the meeting extremely late due to travel issues, the Talvian Delegate had remained silent up until now, listening to several other Delegates putting themselves forward for Speaker. Not one for humility or passiveness, Oreyna had desired the position himself; his tardiness, he realized however, had already cast him in a less-than-positive light, and any such bid for the position would be doomed from the start. Instead, he resolved to vie for Speaker if the spot opened up in the future, and duly cast his vote when came his turn to speak.

"The vote of Talvias goes toward Mr. McAllen," he declared, and took a sip from his coffee mug.

Delegate Fedya Garin (Pile of Clay)

"At the moment, I agree with Delegate Hansen. De Weiss, you seem to be strongly against McAllen, would you care to present your points?"

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren (Yaim Rusur)


As Wren pulled the last of his concealed boot weapons he chimed in, "So far I have to agree to vote for Mr. McAllen. He seems to have this whole speaker thing down already, and from what I have seen is most qualified for the position." Wren sat down and mentioned to the security gentleman "If you could put those in the tracked vehicle outside I would be most appreciative."

Acting Speaker Edward McAllen

The Security personnel looked confused as they turned to McAllen. He nodded and they turned to secure the weapons.

"With that, I think that its safe to say that I have been elected to be your Speaker of the Nations. thank you for your support, I hope I wont let you down."

Speaker Of The Nations Edward McAllen

There was a whole ceremony that needed to happen but as he had already done it, there was no need.

"So, now that the first item on the agenda has been settled, the second..." He was interrupted.

Delegate Peter De Weiss (Southern Gralend)

"I hope its concerning the atrocities being committed by YOUR countrymen, Mr Speaker!" The sheer contempt dripping off his tongue palatable.

Speaker Edward McAllen

Edward leaned forward, pursing his lips. "Actually, it is to be decided by the chamber. Does anyone have an issue to raise? I know Delegate De Weiss does."

Delegate Cin'ciri Wren Yaim Rusur


Wren raised an eyebrow at the gentleman screaming at the speaker and spoke up, "I do believe that as soon as Mr. McAllen became active speaker, he has denounced his own citizenship, if I am not mistaken. Therefor any aggression towards this mans birth nation should be shifted, and not inflicted on him, as this matter would be out of his hands."
