| Date | 01:15:06, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Vanuku Freedom Party | To | Debating the Energy Act of 2571 |
| Message | The most recent poll on this subject demonstrates overwhelming public opposition to the status quo. We would be willing to agree to some other option - some manner of complete and universal private ownership - but the status quo is unacceptable. |
| Date | 13:48:59, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Vanuku Sinatranoan Party | To | Debating the Energy Act of 2571 |
| Message | The Vanuku Sinatranoan Party feels that of all the options available, this is one of the best. We would support this Bill, provided there is still a minimum standard of service, transparency of operations, and similarity of pricing between States. |
| Date | 01:27:41, May 03, 2008 CET | From | Vanuku Freedom Party | To | Debating the Energy Act of 2571 |
| Message | That is something to be determined by the voters of each federal state. |
| Date | 08:53:43, May 05, 2008 CET | From | Vanuku Sinatranoan Party | To | Debating the Energy Act of 2571 |
| Message | We're sure that the voters would be extremely excited by the idea of four years of blackouts before they have a chance to vote on whether their local government is handling their powergrid satisfactorily. Minimum standards of service should be applied to the industry - indeed, any industry, and transparency of operations is a must for any government organisation. |

| Random fact: It is possible for a player to transfer ownership of a character or a royal house to another player. This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
