"I learned several important lessons from the simulation:

• Sometimes being called the antichrist is a compliment;
• Knowing parliamentary procedure is not as important as convincing someone else that you know parliamentary procedure; 
• Definitions are important, especially the definition of definition;
• When in doubt, stall, stall, stall, and then make a quorum call;
• Once they get mad, they're all yours;
• Simulation or not, victory is sweet."

-- Christiana N. Dominguez, 1999

• "A chairman has dual roles: shepherd and sheepdog.  Sometimes he must tend to his flock, and sometimes he must bite them in the buttocks." -- Kevin Walkow, 2007

• "It is easier to whip early and nice than it is to whip late and mean." -- Rylan Weythman, 2006

• "No matter what position you take, there is sure to be a position you can fill."-- Andrew Lee, 2006

• "There have been so many moments now in my various political jobs post-CMC where I've said, `Ah, this is just like simulation,' and my colleagues will look at me with very confused looks." -- Byron Koay, 2004, 2006
