| Message | If I were going to commit a crime, I doubt I'd carry my ID on me. For this reason, the SDP believes this would have a negligible effect on crime rates, and thus would be of no benefit. |

| 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. |
