| Message | This doesn't sound that bad really. We do have to be able to defend ourselves in case of rouge nations attacking us with WMD's. |
| Date | 21:07:46, September 09, 2007 CET | From | Partido Laborista Socialista | To | Debating the NBC Escalation 2453 |
| Message | We should reserve the right to use chemical and biological weapons in war. |
| Date | 14:15:20, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Trabajo y Libertad | To | Debating the NBC Escalation 2453 |
| Message | We were mostly worried the parties less dedicated to Davostan's defence would use such a proposal to sink this bill. If enough parties support the use of biological and chemical weapons as a standard weapon of war then we will gladly change that proposal. |
| Date | 14:11:17, September 11, 2007 CET | From | Trabajo y Libertad | To | Debating the NBC Escalation 2453 |
| Message | Right, since no one else wants to debate it you're clearly all in favour of it? I'll move it to a vote then. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
