| Message | I think we ought to cut the defence budget, we really don't have that much need for it. Also, we need more money for police (Internal Affairs) and we should cut the Food and Agriculture budget. |
| Date | 08:18:30, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Secular Humanist party | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | The food and agriculture budget subsidises farmers who grow food for telamon. It pays for regulators to ensure food is fit for human consumption. We do not think that should be cut. Food and agriculture funding is already relatively much lower than other areas. The others seem agreeable, and I will append this bill later on. |
| Date | 08:52:03, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Telamonese Cultural Alliance | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | Farm subsidies are sort of pointless. The free-market system will give adequate compensation to producers. |
| Date | 14:53:10, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Democratic League | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | I think we must enforce more money into the internal affairs for now as our country is in despair |
| Date | 18:32:55, October 03, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | This proposal makes sense to the PSP. We support this bill but we would encourage the Secular Humanist Party to raise the budget for Trade and Industry 7,000,000,000. |
| Date | 06:51:58, October 04, 2007 CET | From | United Labour Party of Telamon | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | TTIEU supports this new budget. |
| Date | 10:58:00, October 04, 2007 CET | From | Secular Humanist party | To | Debating the Tournament Funding |
| Message | We can do things incrementally. Values can be adjusted later. These seems to be no argument against these increases. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
