| Message | How is anyone stealing anything? The infrastructure is already there, and the cost of maintaining it is minimal. Indeed, the current cost of replacing lines and upgrading services is MORE THAN offset by a percentage of the cost of the purchases of 'upgrade' phones - that are optional to consumers. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
