| Date | 01:45:00, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Kommunisticheskiy Komitet Rabochih | To | Debating the No Army For The Despot |
| Message | This bill is too extreme for us to support. We oppose the monarchists, but we feel that this is not the best way to go about removing them. After all, what is to stop a foreign monarch taking advantage of such an easy target and installing a new force? |
| Date | 02:11:40, June 17, 2008 CET | From | Family and Tradition Party (disbanded) | To | Debating the No Army For The Despot |
| Message | What on earth? Are the socialists trying to single-handedly plunge our nation into chaos? This legislation is one of the most proposterous in this party's history. Absolutely baffling. |
| Date | 17:31:10, June 17, 2008 CET | From | East Trigunia Company | To | Debating the No Army For The Despot |
| Message | Vascania has a very large army by the way. Trigunia is just guarding it while they retrain and ire fresh troops. After all, they are demoralised after the civil war. New Adelia and the Iles de paradis are a different matter though... |
