| Message | We're not unhappy either way. It makes nor eal difference to us, and there are advantages each way. A shorter interval means a more fluid government that could be argued to better reflect changing moods... but: That's not necessarily a good thing. A government that has a five-year-plan may only be two thirds of the way to fruition when elections roll round.... |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
