MUNs are special experience for many of us where we not only get to hone our debating skills but also get to meet many new people along the way. But there are some types that you are likely to meet over and over again at most MUNs you attend. Here are the most common types.

Normally found seated at the corners or at the back of the committee, they spend more time sleeping then actually participating in any session. You can’t deny they have some real talent when it comes to sleeping, being able to hit a snooze under any circumstance.

Some of them can be talented debaters, and when it is their turn to speak, they let out a speech with such flair that it makes other delegates drop their jaws .After finishing their speech, they proceed to go back into sleep mode to recharge their batteries.

The Scholar

These are the type of delegates usually found carrying tons of notes and papers around with them. During a committee session, they will spend more time scribbling down points then actually taking part in the debate and when they do speak, they are reading what they have written.During breaks, as you might have guessed it, these delegates will research and jot down even more notes.

The Hitler wanna be

These guys don’t shy away from taking any opportunity to speak but rarely contribute anything, often deviating from the topic that is given. They are confident and they are loud but they themselves don’t have any idea what they are saying and neither do other delegates .

They will often go around the hall way back and forth like the own the whole building, swinging their arms widely with their eyes all crazy when they are given the floor. Other delegates are often unsure what has just transpired but think it is best to keep the case close.

Normally these Delegates are sited way back at the end of the committee, away from the eyes of the dais, chit chatting with the opposite gender or passing notes around to other delegates and during the breaks, catching up with the rest of the squad to talk about everything irrelevant.

For them, MUNs are all about making new friends, clicking endless selfies with palls and regularly updating statuses on their phones. Attending the committee sessions is just a formality, it’s the socials that they are really after. And after the event has ended, they will write up long status on photos, tagging all his(or her) new found buddies in them.

They do raise motions in a committee however, motions for an entertainment session to take place. :P

The Underdog

Never judge a book by its cover. These are first time MUNers who, despite the odds, manage to not only stand out from the crowd but also bring home the best delegate award.

What they lack in experience, they make it up with their share talent and tenacity, becoming a force to be reckoned with by the end of the first day!

The Paper Tiger

These type of delegates will usually be guys , dressed from top to bottom to impress and walking with an aura of aplomb, intimidating other delegates. And when they are called to the floor, you would be expecting a roar to echo through the hall but the only thing that comes of their mouth is ,“meow…” and they proceed to sit back in their seats and remain quit for the rest of the session.

A real fan of Niccolo Machiavelli’s work. They are able to take control of the entire committee without any of the other delegates noticing that they have fallen victim to their ploy.

This rare breed is normally found in the crisis committees’ passing note, lobbying during unmods, switching blocs, using every trick in the book to further their agenda. They will not speak much and this hurts their chances of winning but they don’t care. For them it’s not about the award, it’s about sending a message.
