How to: Crisis

A crisis position paper can be in any format you'd like! Common forms include letters and journal entries. In this you want to detail what you want to achieve in the conference and how you'd like to do it. This should include your crisis arc, or "secret agenda." By doing this will help our backroom team ensure we have a fun crisis. If you need a bit more help, feel free to reference the example position paper below.

Point of Inquiry - At any time, raise the placard to ask clarifying questions.

Point of Personal Privilege - At any time, raise the placard to request a break.

Decorum - A basic call to order, quiet down and pay attention.

Second - A delegate agreeing with a motion.

Simple Majority - Need over 50% to pass the motion.

Blocs - Groups of delegates that agree on similar motions.

"Honorable Chair, Esteemed Delegates..." - A common way to start speeches.

Moderated Caucus - Need the overall time, individual speaker time, and the topic of discussion. Generally should not exceed 10 minutes.

e.g. a 9/45 moderated caucus would give 12 individuals 45 seconds to speak, totalling 9 minutes in total.

Unmoderated Caucus - General time to discuss the matters at hand.
