| Date | 20:54:18, August 05, 2007 CET | From |  National Party | To | Debating the Prayer in Schools |
| Message | The National Party respects the rights of the religious to pray anywhere they choose, but does NOT see why any individual public school has the right to enforce religious beliefs on its students. Leave this practice to the private schools. |
| Date | 10:25:08, August 06, 2007 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Prayer in Schools |
| Message | A PUBLIC school has a religious principle and a liberty worshiping majority. See where the problem starts? Religions can pray in their churches, not in public schools. Lets not give teachers the power to force religion down the throats of their pupils. |

| 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. |
