| Message | Foreign Affairs before Defense. |
| Date | 21:35:10, April 21, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Presidential Line of Sucession Act |
| Message | Foreign Affairs is not as able to defend our country as Defense. |
| Date | 09:39:54, April 22, 2008 CET | From |  Gil's Green party | To | Debating the Presidential Line of Sucession Act |
| Message | To me this sounds more logical: 1- Vice-President of the United Republics of Lodamun-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament). 2- Prime Minister of the United Republics of Lodamun-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament) 3 - Minister of Internal Affairs-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament). 4- Minister of Foreign Affairs-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament). 5- Minister of Justice-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament). 6- Minister of Defense-(Appointed by the President and Approved by Parliament). the Minister of Internal Affairs knows more about the organisation of the country and can give order to the minister of Defence just as good as the president can. |
| Date | 09:40:36, April 22, 2008 CET | From | Gil's Green party | To | Debating the Presidential Line of Sucession Act |
| Message | And in case of war, the minister of Defence has to concentrate on managing the army, not the country. |
| Date | 21:02:40, April 22, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Presidential Line of Sucession Act |
| Message | Well the ministry of defence is as of now by far the biggest ministry with its 90 billion LOD budget, 20 times bigger than the ministry of internal affairs budget (Even when at peace it was 10 times as big), so the minister of defence would have the most experience with running a huge government as the ministry of defence is huge. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
