| Message | We can more than agree to changing the motto, however we aren't particularly fond of the one proposed. We'd like to see something more tied in with our Romantic model of nationality. |
| Date | 01:22:32, June 26, 2008 CET | From | Dranland First Party (CC) | To | Debating the Motto Act |
| Message | We agree with the Nationalist-Libertarian Party on this issue - we certainly agree that the motto needs to be changed, but the words discipline and loyalty may have bad connotations. We certainly welcome further recommendations. |

| Message | Well, Cullen Hightower has a nice quote: Discipline without Freedom is Tyranny, Freedom without Discipline is Chaos. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
