| Message | So we require labeling, but not in an easily understood format? |
| Date | 05:29:32, April 30, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Food and Beverage Regulation Act |
| Message | The difference here is the word "required." |
| Date | 06:41:34, April 30, 2008 CET | From | United Republics Party | To | Debating the Food and Beverage Regulation Act |
| Message | The current law includes the word "MUST," but it also includes the words "easily understood" while your proposal does not. The URP opposes labelling requirement, but we believe that if the PFP imposes regulation, it should at least be useful. |

| Message | All regulations are useful, that is what they are made for. |

| 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. |
