| Message | Don\'t create omnibus bills unless they have to do with the same thing IE all economic policy matters or all civil rights. We only support the cost of legal aid article, otherwise we are opposed to the entire bill. |

| Message | Oh, and create descriptions for bills, even if it\'s short, but DON\'T just put \'...\' or \'sekowo\' or things like that. |

| Message | Well, it is not against the rules really. I know it is annoying as many end up voting against something they might even support, but it is the fastest way to gain visibility. But everyone does it, even you, as I for one don\'t see that much common ground with proposals trying to deny Child Labour (which I would support) and Industries Being run by DWC\'s (which I wouldn\'t). |

| Message | It\'s against our policy, and if you plan on playing in Sekowo, you follow our policies which have been inc place for quite along time. If you need visibility do the bills, that\'s fine, but don\'t mix areas together. Also, if you notice, child labour and DWC\'s are both part of the economics section. What I\'m saying is don\'t add proposals from multiple areas into one. |

| Message | OOC: It is still just a policy and even though it is a good one, it is not up to other players to dictate how others should play this game. But don\'t get me wrong, I\'ll play by the book, that is one of the reasons why I jumped to Sekowo after all. Kafuri Virus took over my previous nation and Sekowo\'s more serious game is much more interesting. I just don\'t take it kindly that other players are acting as they are moderators and istutute their non-existing rules on me. It\'s not like I\'m the \"newbie\" here, atleast when compared to you, Iori. As I said, proposals like these are annoying, I know, but when you are in a hurry and wan\'t to get most of your quota into visibility, you just don\'t have the time to do several proposals, especially when you don\'t have a good picture of the full legislature yet. As you might have noticed, I\'ve played by the policy after this one, even before reading your post, as for I like policies like that and respect them. |

| Message | OOC: Sorry, it\'s just we\'ve had a rash of new (as in both player and party) parties that have simnply shown no respect for the established customs, so it\'s sort of a knee-jerk reaction. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
