| Message | Imperial Consul harkens back to our pre-monarchy era, when the Consul ruled the congress. The proposed motto has less blind patriotism, but it is still meaningful, as it speaks of the people, and not the system of governmment. |

| Message | what does the motto mean? |
| Date | 04:30:30, October 08, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Luthorian Culture Definition Act |
| Message | Fertility and Faithfulness. The first part goes well with our science (fertile mind), agriculture (fertile lands), and industry (might be stretching the metephor for this one). The second part is sort of extending the current motto, so that it is more than just faithfulness to the nation or king, but faithfulness to each other. |

| Date | 09:39:43, October 10, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Luthorian Culture Definition Act |
| Message | We like our motto and disapprove of prefixing names with job titles in this manner. A courtesy title, or style, as we have now, is far more appropriate. |

| Message | What if we changed it to Imperial Chancellor? |

| Message | They're all great job descriptions: but the game will prefix Dr Paisley's name with them, and that will look silly! Titles that do work in front of the name include Prince, Duke, Baron, Viscount, Lord... That's it: how's "Lord Chancellor" grab the rest of you? |
| Date | 02:16:21, October 11, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Luthorian Culture Definition Act |
| Message | I'd go for that, how about the rest of you? |
