| Message | A central bank that sets interest rates is a rather important component of a well developed economy, otherwise who else will set the rates, the Finance Minister? |

| Message | The banking community can decide that - I'm sure private interests will develop infrastructure for a commission to decide such things. |

| 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. |
