| Message | Problem is if they happen too often it becomes a pain when you have an effective foreign policy or are trying to do anything with foreign policy. I ran up against the problem a lot especially since you don't know how long it will be beffore you get a reply. |

| Message | Right, new parties think things happen much faster than they do. How long have we been struggling to Restore Zog to His Rightful Throne in Proper Pomp and Circumstance? these things take time.. |
| Date | 11:41:19, February 24, 2007 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | It's probably best that the election results count for more than a few years so parties can use what they have (and if you have no seats then this is time for you to raise visibility before the next election.) |
| Date | 14:24:58, February 24, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | How long have we been campaigning to create the Beluzian Republic once again with its Duma. ;) |

| Date | 13:43:36, February 25, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | it used to be. Maybe we can change that while restoring Zog to his throne? |
| Date | 13:56:04, February 25, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | Why was it changed anyway? Thinking back it must have been when I went on hiatus last July. |
| Date | 19:50:22, February 25, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | no special reason. I don't actually care about that issue. So long as it sounds cool. ooc: Russia has a duma, and my party is a bit like Putin, killing media critics and supported by mafia. I think it was me who proposed it for that reason. |
| Date | 20:24:54, February 25, 2007 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the Call for early elections, July 2364 |
| Message | It's getting close to the elections anyway, this sort of thing should be called upon for a decent reason and the time between elections seem fine the way they are. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
