| Message | OOC: By the way, before anyone cries "witch hunt", my reason for proposing this is that the URP, god-modding as he always does, manipulated the NSFA and the games when he wanted to gain an advantage and pressure us to do whatever he wanted to do. |

| Message | OOC: On procedure: we can withdraw our team only if we withdraw from the treaty. I suggest you read the fifa treaty. As for the current management - I am running the qualifiers. I do not manipulate results. Lodamun finished in the middle of the pack - stronger than usual. Also if you are concerned - Lodamun will recieve another opportunity to qualify since I have divided Lodamun into 7 divisions, there will still be 2 spots available that will be filled by a second chance tournament for third place finishers. |

| Message | OOC: We can withdraw our football team from competition whenever we feel like it without withdrawing from the treaty. I am very sorry that I do not trust you. Trust must be earned. |

| Message | OOC: And yes, I have read the treaty but our legislature has control over our national team, not a treaty. |

| Message | The treaty states: "To withdraw from any World Cups, a nation must withdraw from the treaty." By adopting the FIFA treaty, the Senate surrendered its power in this area by a 2/3 vote and confirmed the method for withdrawl. I have no problem with Lodamun not participating, but it's important that the procedures adopted by a Senate supermajority be correctly followed. A team has already been sent by the NSCL. This team will remain to compete as required by treaty. Future teams will be sent by the NSCL as required by FIFA. The NSCL as Lodamun's professional league will field teams on behalf of Lodamun if necessary without sanction of the Senate in the future. Prochorus Orion, CEO of NSCL |

| Message | We will send our military is necessary to bring our team back. The Senate never surrounded its power to control the national team. Again, the national team represents this country and we are the legislators of the country, we make the decisions. No one is obligated to participate in a sport. The time of slavery in Lodamun is already long gone. The NSCL will abide by anything the Senate says or it will be sanctioned (i.e. Prochorus Orion will be fired immediately). |

| Message | How will you do that? |
| Date | 20:05:07, October 17, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Withdraw our football team from the World Cup |
| Message | We will simply ignore the URP comments because they are promoting violence and stupidity. Upon passage of this bill, our team will be withdrawn from the competition immediately. OOC: I advice you to stop using our team if this bill passes. It will be in your best interest to stop your usual god-modding. No one likes what you are doing. |
