| Message | Yes. Abstrain and lower visibility. You don't need to reduce the game down to THIS in Aldegar. Nice thing about Aldegar is it is not one of those countries where your position or one or two issues determines whether you get any votes or not. This simply is not necessary. |
| Date | 03:21:05, September 13, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Civil Rights Bill (an anti bill) |
| Message | Part of the problem is that when your party supports the status quo on some aspects of the law-Civil Liberties for instance-and no one else has proposed any changes to the status quo, you have to find some way of communicating your stance on these issues. |
