| Message | We would usually approve of any seat number reductions and disapprove of any increases, but we do approve of tradition, also. 350 would be more traditional, but 250 is close enough, I guess. |
| Date | 22:57:12, November 19, 2008 CET | From | Party for a Federal Meritocracy | To | Debating the Seat Number Reform Bill |
| Message | We, on the other hand, cannot see a circumstance under which we would approve of any increase in the number of seats as we view it as an unnecessary expense. |
| Date | 00:03:39, November 20, 2008 CET | From | Scientific Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Seat Number Reform Bill |
| Message | Of course, the JNP did vote against our term limits amendment, which has put us in a less charitable mood. |
| Date | 00:10:15, November 20, 2008 CET | From | Birleşik Demokrat Parti | To | Debating the Seat Number Reform Bill |
| Message | True, but I saw no need for a longer term of just 99 seats; perhaps if this passes and the bill is re-proposed. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
