Message | That is exactly what the current law stipulates, we do not research or create bio-weapons, however we do the research on them to come up with cures and antidotes should we ever be attacked. |
Date | 16:38:28, June 17, 2009 CET | From | Mugenkai | To | Debating the SUN.011.2772 Safe Science Act |
Message | If cures are the only reason for research, we don't need an exception in the law for bioweapon research. Research of treatments will continue to be legal since a treatment is not a bioweapon. We prefer however to close this loophole. |

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. |
Random quote: "'The illusion of Pontesi nationhood'. The Serpent speaks. How can they say these things? How can they call our country an illusion? You can see it clear as day, these people won’t stop until they’ve destroyed us all." - Morgan Einar, former Pontesian general |
