| Message | And nuking the 'enemy' means victory? |
| Date | 21:56:31, August 11, 2007 CET | From | Retro-Futurist Party | To | Debating the Military Bill |
| Message | The benefits of atomic power to our nation's defense cannot be overlooked. Keeping the option of a 'first strike' on the table acts as a deterrent against those who may try to annihilate Dolgaria before a reprisal can be mounted. It is the opinion of the Retro-Futurist movement that all citizens should be required to serve a period of time in either an active or reserve capacity in the military, to strengthen their sense of patriotism and responsibility to their homeland. |

| 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. |
| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
