| Message | ( Ok, Im still working on the exact angle to be insane from, but I think this is a good start. Ive already professed a weird preference for killing DWC members, so why not POWs as well? I'm working on the cult angle, which doesnt really have an actual set of beliefs yet as much as some random cutltish weirdness and such. I dont really know what to do, but I know that something has to be done to prevent more thrashings like the last election. One way to do that is to set myself apart from everyone else. If Devo wants, we could RP opposing religions between us. His "money god" could be a Remnant related thing. Suggestions welcome, bill split etc. ) |

| Message | Um, probably no need to split: murderous insanity will gain little support. Also hemp is a sacrament. Or is it? |

| Message | Hemp? Sure, why not? Zaphod Beeblebrox, however, has abandoned his highly successful GM narcotics farming enterprise. The few others involved have disappeared as well, but on the whole, no jobs have been lost, as the entire operation was mechanized years ago, to avoid the danger of theft by workers. The genetically modified cocaine and marijuana which were prized far and wide have been withdrawn from the market and destroyed, and the machinery used to cultivate it has been irreversibly decommisioned. Zaphod himself has disappeared without a trace, as well as other former TiC members. In their place is a skeleton party that remains to guide the worthy who remain. |

| Message | Well if you're going to be insane, might as well do it right - wing, that is. I say more power to ya. |
| Date | 21:57:34, October 15, 2005 CET | From | Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the The March of the Faithful |
| Message | That's odd. I thought for sure that Satan would like article 2. |

| Message | Satan doesn't agree with point 1 though. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
