| Date | 22:48:51, March 15, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Broad Reform Act, 2726 |
| Message | We fervently oppose this legislation - it deliberately and directly undermines the traditional institution of marriage, with no regard for the importance to civilized society of this most basic and fundamental human association. We could support article 3 in a different context, but, for obvious reasons, we must oppose this legislation. |
| Date | 01:07:06, March 16, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Restoration Party | To | Debating the Broad Reform Act, 2726 |
| Message | We shall support this bill. We believe in individual's freedoms to choose, and those freedoms include the right to marry and we also support most any form of devolution. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
