| Message | Let's wait until we are able to asertain the size of our military without conscription. If we do already have a military then another option would be feasible, but if we don't then what are we do to during war? |
| Date | 06:50:37, August 31, 2005 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Repeal of the Conscription Act 2103 |
| Message | Then we can always implement new measures once the game engine can handle them. As of now, we see no point in a draft. |
| Date | 09:08:41, August 31, 2005 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Repeal of the Conscription Act 2103 |
| Message | As we pointed out before, this conscription act would only be introduced in the event of war otherwise there is no conscription. We again appeal to all parties, rather than removing the wartime conscription act we would rather there be a change in the law (in bill form at least) to allow either military or civil service during such times of crisis. |

| Message | WSS!'s idea is best. However, it is not one of the current options. This could always be changed in the future if Wouter adds it. |
| Date | 13:19:07, August 31, 2005 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Repeal of the Conscription Act 2103 |
| Message | I agree with WSS!P. This law is difficult because there are limited options. It is either wartime conscription or no conscription. Currently the draft applies to wartime only. |
| Date | 17:58:00, August 31, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Movement | To | Debating the Repeal of the Conscription Act 2103 |
| Message | We will again side with our comrades the CSP and SDLP on this issue. Conscription is repressive and a violation of our personal freedoms. You can be assured of our 'no' vote. |
| Date | 11:21:58, September 01, 2005 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Repeal of the Conscription Act 2103 |
| Message | We would happly support the WSS's idea. As the current proposal is closest then we see no reason to change it and would rather that the current bill's description was ammended to include these options. |
