| Message | We support Article 3, and find the rest of this bill vomit inducing. May Jennifer Garner in Her Infinite Wisdom smite you! |
| Date | 06:49:41, September 27, 2007 CET | From | Unio enim si quis Motus Populi | To | Debating the Kundrati Reform |
| Message | Way to push a bill with so many proposals to vote right away, especially one with so many varying proposals, without opening it up for request for splits. It won't pass, so we have no problem voting yes, but be aware that unorthodox behavior such as this will not be tolerated in the future (destroying political opinions in one fowl swoop can really piss people off) |
| Date | 09:51:36, September 27, 2007 CET | From | Kundrati Confederacy Party | To | Debating the Kundrati Reform |
| Message | I'm not forcing anyone to vote yes or no, if it pisses you off so much just abstain. The Kundrati confederacy does not take orders from the phalange party, we will propose bills as we please. |

| Message | What pisses me off is when inconsidertae players push bills like this. Voting yes scres up my stances, voting no screws up my stances, and abstaining screws up my stances. I don't like my hard work getting scewed because you can't wait on a bill. That is what pisses me off. And no, you don't take orders from me, but that doesn't mean you're free to be a douche bag. |
| Date | 09:48:04, September 28, 2007 CET | From | Kundrati Confederacy Party | To | Debating the Kundrati Reform |
| Message | I am actually free to be whatever I want, douche bag or not, if it pisses you off, it pisses you off, that's your problem. And hey, if it screws you up, a job well done for the Kundrati people. |
