| Message | Why ban freedoms such as the right to strike? Aren't those who go to strike usually unhappy? |
| Date | 22:47:11, July 01, 2008 CET | From | Seldonist Cognitive Party | To | Debating the Seldoni Strike Ban |
| Message | Yes but Unhappiness can be treated with Yoj or other material indulgences that can distract oneself from Unhappy thoughts. Trust the State, We Know What Is Best! |

| Message | "Trust the State, We Know What Is Best!" We are not sure what you meant by that. We trust the State because we are in the government. The part about you knowing what's best, I kind of doubt that one. |

| Message | In a manner, yes but we also believe that Yoj (plus the other products of the Estasi Corporation) can and should be used to maintain a level of euphoria at all times for all purposes. Seldonism is the only system of political thought that is designed to give people Happiness. |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
