@_ss_33 when i told u to relax, i didn't mean i didn't freak out back then. my first model was actually traumatizing bc i was in a mixed school committee, which means there were people with like 10 models of experience too, not just rookies, so i was genuinely terrified lmao. but as the debate goes on, u will start to get more into it, catch its rhythm, and figure out how to do ur own interventions. i recommend preparing some interventions beforehand so u have something to rely on when u get there. u will also have to do research throughout the debate itself and learn to prepare longass interventions on the spot, but it's honestly not as hard as it seems, i promise. about the single topic thing, i haven't been in a model like that, but it should be pretty much the same, just maybe shorter days. anddd, i'll just give u the list of 10 countries i've represented bc the other 5 models i've done were as part of the secretariat or as a president, so yeah. well, i've represented the united states twice, which is such a great country bc even though u carry a huge responsibility, u get to talk A LOT, and it's super easy to stand out in the committee. i've also represented china, mauritania, the uae, germany, belgium, russia, israel, the uk, and ukraine. if u get a european country, u will have more freedom to say whatever tf u want bc they're usually neutral in most issues. obviously, it depends on the topic and the committee, but i loveee those. middle eastern countries, on the other hand, can be harder bc u have to stick closely to their beliefs, but they're super fun too bc everyone's probably going to attack u for whatever reason, and if u defend yourself well, u can really stand out. i'm here if u need anything, i'd honestly love to help u with whatever u need
