| Message | Seeing as though there are no provisions of war in particracy, and I believe that the concept of war in a game such as this is beyond stupid.. the MDP is proposing these articles. If or when the game managers feel that war is an important part of particracy, and implements it into the game, then we can perhaps revisit this. |
