| Message | You would have had our full support, if not for Article 10. "Open homosexuality is not tolerated in the military. The military has a "don't ask, don't tell" policy." That kind of a policy is NOT suitable for any leftwing party. |
| Date | 15:07:54, June 05, 2007 CET | From | The Liberty Organization | To | Debating the Keymon Communist Party (KCP) - Forward to Socialism! |
| Message | "I'm afraid these proposals are very opposed to the Liberty Organization's core values. We hope there are other issues we can find agreement on." Phil Harding |
| Date | 16:54:45, June 05, 2007 CET | From | Christian Democrats | To | Debating the Keymon Communist Party (KCP) - Forward to Socialism! |
| Message | "We are appalled with this proposal. Twice in the past, communism reared its ugly head in Keymon and bloodshed came to our streets. Say no, Keymon. Remember the past. Communists do not want our democracy. They only want to use it to subvert our nation, and if the ballot box fails, bullets will follow. I urge the government to investigate this new party." -- Lain Keymon |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
