Message | OOC: I know the chances are slim, but we almost had a tie vote recently...could we possibly change the # of seats to an odd number? |
Date | 19:47:50, April 05, 2008 CET | From | Royal Socialist Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Reduction of government |
Message | I could support article one, but not two. 250 is too little representation for the people |
Date | 00:04:14, April 06, 2008 CET | From | People's Radical Party | To | Debating the Reduction of government |
Message | 250 is definitely too small. The idea of an odd-numbered Diet sounds like a good one, too - even just one extra seat. |

Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
