| Message | While we like the general idea more than the proposed change to the national sport, this should not be rushed. We may vote in favor of this proposal if it is left open for full debate. We have voted against at this time. |
| Date | 01:44:56, February 25, 2009 CET | From | Crimson Moon Party | To | Debating the The Hummingbird Proposal |
| Message | The Crimson Moon Party Favors the national sport Idea though the two bills are relatively unrelated. We will have to vote know given that the humming bird is small and weak whereas the Swallow is extremely protective and will defend it's nest against any intruder no matter how strong. We believe tis is a good motto for the country and therefor must vote against this bill |

| Message | The swallow might be large, but it is very comon. The hummingbird is like no other, it can fly in all directions, it can fly and feed, it is versatile all around. It is like no other, therefore, we believe that it would display our perserverance. We even the smallest force can do extrodanairy things. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
