| Message | We voted yes, although we'd have preferred a more moderate change, such as subsidizing the telephone bills of low-income families and regulating telephone rates. However, this proposal was better than leaving low-income families unable to afford phone service; and thus we support it, with some reservations. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
