Message | Alas, we could probably come to a compromise on many of these issues, were debate time allowed, but articles 3 and 4 particularly, and many of the other articles to a lesser degree, mean we must regretfully vote option 3 on the ballot paper, 'Hell No!' |
Date | 16:51:27, May 14, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the CLP Agenda |

Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
