| Message | OOC: No, of course not. This is a positioning bill, just like many of yours. They aren't related necessarily, except for driving the same way. It's incredibly frustrating, I agree. |

| Date | 05:04:33, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Independent Party | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | We are completely against the wide spectrum of articles in this bill, as well as most of them specifically... |
| Date | 05:51:21, June 28, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: Ok, yes I have done that twice, but look at the vast majority of my positioning bills, they have to do with the same subject. |
| Date | 09:41:18, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: Well, the AUP doesn't have a 'vast majority' of positioning bills. What can be said? Maybe in time, he'll be a mini-Iori in that respect. |

| Message | OOC: AFFS, I thought that's what you al thought IMF was lol. |
| Date | 19:39:14, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Sekowan Independent Party | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: IMF isn't a mini-DSP. IMF and DSP differ on several points, actually. Just the same as NPP, AFFS, CP, and AUP all have differing viewpoints on a few things. I mean, by and large they fit into the "bloc" system as I understand it, but it's not one of those "Okay, let's band together and take down the democrats/republicans!" like we see in the US. |
| Date | 20:55:57, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: Naw, you and IMF disagree too much... Besides, I would call it Mini-DSP, not Mini-Iori, if that were the case. It's only mini-Iori if he's acting like you ooc. :p |
| Date | 21:09:54, June 28, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: True, true. Hm, I wish there was a mini-DSP, that would be awesome, but alas. |
| Date | 21:10:43, June 28, 2008 CET | From | Anti-Federalists of Free Sekowo | To | Debating the AUP.2598.17 |
| Message | OOC: I'd ask for a Mini-AFFS, but that would just be too small to make any real difference. :p |
