| Message | We would agree to Article 2 but Article 1 and 3 deter us from voting in the affirmative. Lodamun is a strong international force, we must be the example for other nations in the world. |

| Message | Our troops should not be put behind profit which is what private ownership does in regard to article 1, it also means that the Government has to keep happy the private owners and would ultimately cost us more. Our proposals gives the tax payer value for money. Article 3 is perfectly fine unless you believe the rest of the world knows better than Telamon, what is the international standards were to execute captives then that is what we would have to follow. I have faith in the sovereignty and democratically elected governments of Lodamun. |

| 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. |
