| Date | 12:46:11, February 07, 2008 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Health freedom |
| Message | Freedom is the deadliest disease afflicting the minds of men today. ~from Volume II of the Edicts Saiserica Healthcare must be the total and sole property of the State. For the people are inherently intwined with their healthcare, and if healthcare is bound to the State the people are bound to the State. Any nation without this measue of security against the fickleness of its own citizens exists upon a knife's edge. ~from Volume IX of the Edicts Saiserica |

| 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. |
