Bill: Culture Act I
Details
Submitted by[?]: Slaytanic Wehrmacht
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2133
Description[?]:
| This bill proposes to protect the rich culture of Lodamun. #1 and #4 are pretty self explanatory, and we feel it is necessary to nationalize media content, as the program of the private stations is unbearable and nowhere near "culture". As international media is unrestricted, our citizens would still have access to non-governmental media access, so our tv stations can't be abused as propaganda machines. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
