Message	No, he is not. But we just found out about it and we want an investigation on it. Parliament members who accept bribes are a disgrace to this country.

To	Debating the Investigation into bribery scheme
Message	Based on LP actions concerning the Defense contract, I would suspect he is an LP member.

Message	If he was an LP member, our party would'nt have brought it up. The investigation we request is to determine what party he was from.

Message	This is not joke URP. Please take this very seriously. Let's leave those kinds of comments aside for a while and work on finding out whose party Kurt Jones is from and if he received proper punishment for his actions.

Message	*** I don't think you understand - these stories crop up in the newspaper randomly. It's up to us to decide what party he's in if we're going to acknowledge it at all. For example, years ago an article appeared announcing Jonathan Roberts won the International Soccer Championship. I decided to make him a URP cabinet minister and now he serves as President of the NSCL. I think it makes sense for Jones to be an LP member especially since I recently questioned your decision to grant a huge no-bid contract.

Message	I know they do but this time I don't want any controversy in my party. It seems I am always in the middle of everything. I was looking to blame someone else this time, it can't always be me.

Message	Well as far as the rp go you cant just create a new person for another party, and if you do the other party can ignore the person you create since its not one they created to speak for there party. And it would also be official which party he belonged to, the members of the parliament are not kept secret.

Message	I know I can't create for someone but I was hoping someone would be generous to take him, don't you think? I can simply delete this debate and leave it alone.

From	United Republics Party
To	Debating the Investigation into bribery scheme
Message	Why did the LP even bring this up? As a way to bash another party? This charcter obviously fits the pattern of Liberal corruption. If the LP is unwilling to accept this, it should just drop the matter.

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.
