| Message | Of course that if this act is approved by the House of Commons the use of natural drugs will have a specific regulation and all those interested in selling or buying drugs will have to register themselves within the Ministry of Heath and Social Services. And of course that the Ministry will have powers (like an administrative police) to fine and request the shut down of those places that disobey the law. Were we clear enough or do you still have questions? |

| 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. |
