| Message | It is disgusting that the DSP would once again post a bill they would vote against which combined completely unrelated issues. We are forced to vote for, though we find the divorce issue unacceptable and the flag issue onerous. |

| Message | OOC: As an aside, shouldn't this be the kind of game you play to enjoy, not play to win? There's more to a game than just getting the highest score... |

| Message | OOC: Well, you can't really win, I mean I guess you could buy a nation (it's happened twice) and rule it that way and win in that way. Honestly I just dont like my positioning to be different from what it should be. |

| 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. |
