| Message | We believe in conscription, as national defence is a collective responsiblity, and all men who are able ought to know how to defend Kirlawa. Article 2 we do not care either way. Therefore, we oppose. |
| Date | 08:23:31, March 30, 2009 CET | From | Gluaiseacht Shaoráil DhaonlathachIt | To | Debating the Military Bill |
| Message | We'll support. However, please note that the DFM favours the current situation. |
| Date | 14:00:41, March 30, 2009 CET | From | Kirlawan People's Justice Party | To | Debating the Military Bill |
| Message | Both the current laws and the proposed changes are acceptable (and on the nukes issue, these two options are the only ones which are OK to us). Since this will pass no matter how we vote, and we have no preference (and certainly don't want to abstain), might as well side with the minority. |

| 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. |
