| Message | So the assembly didn't pass it despite having the votes to do so. Cripes, only one election promise (ratify the bloody CBW disarmament treaty at last) and we broke that. The people better not vote Green again, we promise virtually nothing and deliver even less. If this passes, we'll have to disband the party as completely useless! |

| Message | I'll see if I can create another episode of game downtime or something to get this passed. If the GA is serious in their promise to disband, that is. |

| Message | if we legalize CBW, the Greens have two options. One is a vicious take-no-prisoners international campaign againt the government of Lodamun, but we've played that record before. The other is to disband the party, which might take less time.... That downtime sure screwed over a lot of things i had planned, at any rate. |
