| Message | To ban the defense industry in its entirety is the height of stupidity; an unforgivable strategic error that would leave us wholly dependent on foreign powers for our armaments. |
| Date | 19:00:27, August 07, 2008 CET | From | Alliance of Discord | To | Debating the Zoot Suit Riot |
| Message | Or it would leave us without armaments, leaving us unable to fight foreign wars for resources and differing ideologies. Here's an idea, no more is war an option when it comes to invented threats by the military-industrial complex. |

| 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". |
