| Message | If the articles display in the same order (sometimes they get shuffled from one reading to the next), our position on this bill is diametrically opposite to that of the FPL: we definitely favor the abolition of so-called "eminent domain", but oppose the other three articles. |

| 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. |
