| Message | Consul is fine. Much better than Philosopher. |
| Date | 12:56:19, October 17, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | We do not feel that 'Consul' is quite appropriate, however, we are still very much for a change of the title of 'Philosopher'. |
| Date | 00:42:10, October 18, 2005 CET | From | Communist Party of Gaduridos | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Any suggestions? President? Premier? Prime Minister? Chairman? |
| Date | 08:21:38, October 18, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | We don't like 'Premier' nor 'Prime Minister'. President and Chairman possibly. We have also reconsidered 'Consul', perhaps if you added a decent prefix to it. A suggestion of ours is 'Supreme Executor', although we feel the general interpretation of 'Executor' (ie. someone who is in charge of a will) will possibly, pardon my French, 'gay-ify' the title. |
| Date | 09:18:55, October 18, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | There is no decent prefix. Consul is fine on its own, and it is much better than Supreme Executor. |
| Date | 15:45:53, October 18, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Find a decent prefix. Must we think of everything. |
| Date | 09:08:19, October 19, 2005 CET | From | National Democratic Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Supreme Chancellor |
| Date | 15:46:48, October 19, 2005 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | The NDP's suggestion is agreeable, although it causes searing flashbacks of a horrible prequel trilogy that the National Fascisti at this time have still, for the most part, successfully repressed memories of. |
| Date | 16:19:38, October 19, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | The Totalitarian Party can support Chancellor, without the adjective. |
| Date | 17:08:46, October 19, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | I just realised Chancellor is a Head of Government title. I no longer support it for the Head of State. |
| Date | 14:24:12, October 21, 2005 CET | From | Anarcho-Capitalist Front | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Consul is fine, there is no reason to declare the head of government "supreme." |
| Date | 16:30:48, October 21, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Consul it is. Add the proposal and move to vote, NFP. |
| Date | 14:57:46, October 22, 2005 CET | From | Nuovo Partito Di Machiavellian | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | What an imperial title! Next thing we know you will declare yourself empereor. |
| Date | 16:53:58, October 22, 2005 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the Head of State Title |
| Message | Actually, Philosopher was a shortened version of Plato's "Philosopher King". We are moving away from those sorts of titles. |
