| Message | I can assure all political parties of Lodamun that these bills will not surface again. The CPL will adhere to the 1 proposal = 1 bill rule. But, the CPL still will not give up valuable debate time. |
| Date | 17:46:18, June 22, 2007 CET | From | Free Lodamun | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | OOC: jesus look, Do you know why Lodamun is a happening place now? Most of the parties care more about roleplaying than visibility and playing this game. We're having a hard enough time with the urp doing what every poll tells him to do. This nation really needs a strong communist party, but it also needs to stay fun for the vast majority of us that are roleplaying. Please don't do anything like this again. This isn't even believable from an RP point of view, no politician would propose all these changes at once. Also we've sort of decided that the description becomes part of the bill, so you can list changes to each article that are too vague, please don't speak OOC there. |
| Date | 19:00:10, June 22, 2007 CET | From | Lodamun Distributionist Party | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | OOC: This is unacceptable. Free Lodamun is exactly right. Lodamun is a great place because we talk and debate and compromise and occasionally name-call. THIS is simply playing the numbers. Each and every one of us roleplayed and debated with 0 seats (some of us over 2 or 3 elections) - I promise it won't kill you to do that same. Here is Lodamun visiblity is what you get when you vote on things the way you believe, not when you waste our time throwing up absurd amounts of proposals. We've been angry at the URP for playing numbers in the past, but in his defense...he's never done this. Please stop. |
| Date | 20:21:13, June 22, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | perhaps the CPL should look for more moderate change and pursue less sweeping reform. By only including 1-3 proposals, it increases the liklihood of your bills passing. |
| Date | 20:23:42, June 22, 2007 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | I think FL and LDP are wrong about the CPL, I've never known a Lodamese to support these radical measures. He may be playing the numbers if he wants 10% of the vote at most. |
| Date | 23:13:31, June 22, 2007 CET | From | Radical Nationalist Party | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | I have spoken to the Communists and this should be limited now, They can only propose so many bills untill they cant propose anymore xD. |
| Date | 02:16:12, June 23, 2007 CET | From | Free Lodamun | To | Debating the CPL Economic Initiative I |
| Message | Let's hope this is solved, now let's focus on the mountain of viable legislation in front of us. |
