Bill: Stop the insanity!
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2588
Description[?]:
| Easy choice, destroy Lourenne's military or not. Cause a collapse in the economy or not. The previous bill in this area threatens to destroy our country. Your choice gentlemen about the choices you'll make. OOC: To be honest one of the major pet peeves I have about the game is the amount of influence bills like this one have on voters. In RL such a bill would have seen the proposing party and supporters a bit on the... let's say downside. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
