| 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: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
