| Message | Apparently "Piss green" is all the rage in the brand new up-market Clearwater condominiums. Part of an NSP modernisation process perhaps? Maybe the future will bring a less hard line approach to the faith question? The people didn't vote FZL at the last election on a whim you know. |

| Message | OOC: We gather the atheist vote, you the religious and we can be guaranteed at least one of our parties will have a 100 seats minimum each time rather than split the vote between us. |
