| Message | Four compromises. |

| Message | Nope, keep it the way it is. |
| Date | 12:27:41, March 26, 2009 CET | From | Darnussian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Compromise Act |
| Message | The reason being, that compromising on such issues is the first step towards full legalisation, and a step towards a liberal, leftist society which will ruin the nation if it ever becomes so. |
| Date | 22:35:25, March 26, 2009 CET | From | Darnussian Justice Party | To | Debating the Compromise Act |
| Message | I really wasn't asking you. It is very obvious that you will never vote for anything even a little good for the nation...or what you think will ruin the country. |
| Date | 01:32:36, March 27, 2009 CET | From | Surprise Party | To | Debating the Compromise Act |
| Message | The elections are going to prevent this bill from being voted on. I'll consider whether to go forward with this after elections. If I didn't have a challenger on my right flank, I'd go ahead and give you these - they're not unreasonable, and in two cases (#2 and #4) I like the compromise version better than the current law. But the bigger issues in play, namely keeping Nova Terra away from command of the army, put a big constraint on that. |

| Message | I did say that. I meant it when I said it. And two of the other positions are objectively better for the nation. |
| Date | 08:58:54, March 28, 2009 CET | From | Darnussian Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Compromise Act |
| Message | I cannot believe how these liberal ideas are poisoning otherwise sensible people! And to pass such an act, I shudder to think what would happen in the future... |
