| Message | OOC: Are there proposals attached to this to make it enforceable? |

| Message | OOC: There are now |

| Message | While 24 months would lead to a much greater level of accountability, our concern is that it might prove counterproductive the other way - in that much less would get done in between elections. |

| Message | OOC: It is still 4 days of real time, not that much of a cut from 6. If a party only turns up every 6 days they are harming the activity of the nation as it is. |

| Message | OOC:Yes,would be better. |

| Message | OOC: I've been in nations with the minimum before, it really didn't work and is in fact even less conducive to activity than slightly longer terms. 6-7 days does usually seem to work out best. |

| Message | Well we can try no? If it goes wrong we can always change back no? |
| Date | 13:23:27, February 17, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the Fluidity Bill |
| Message | OOC: Would splitting the difference (30 months) make sense? That's 5 days, which is still a nice brisker pace than the current, but not so fast that someone falls terribly behind if something happens. |

| Message | I think it would be best to test the extremes, then compromise once we decide which is best |
| Date | 18:48:24, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Christian Communist Party | To | Debating the Fluidity Bill |
| Message | Well personally I'm not willing to "test the extremes" as I've been there before and it doesn't work. |
| Date | 01:15:18, February 18, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the Fluidity Bill |
| Message | I think the extreme is slightly too extreme in this situation, although a reduction in term lengths is almost certainly a good thing. |
