| Message | Oppose. We refuse to recognize any legitimacy of the gaijin government. The country must be united under one banner and one government. |
| Date | 05:45:55, May 13, 2010 CET | From |  Imperial Pluralism Party | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | OOC: This is a good idea. The "East and West Empire" concept might need to be reduced so that we don't end up with three competing nations. Could the "Holy Empires of East and West Sekowo" be replaced with the "Imperial Dominions of Greater Sekowo" This new nation would be ruled by a single Emperor, as it is a unification of the former Eastern and Western Empires. |
| Date | 18:54:59, May 13, 2010 CET | From | Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | We request that the Imperial Pluralism Party names it's Emperor. While we sympathise with the position of Kyousan-tou ideologically, the alternative to the setting up of the Imperial Dominions is remaining part of the Orthodox state. |
| Date | 23:08:08, May 13, 2010 CET | From | [KU] 国立村 (Kokuritsu-mura) 🏘️ | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | Those of the Orthodox state and of the Imperial Pluralism Party must come to the realization that Sekowo is a land of Gao-Showa majority. What has happened to the calls by Taisei Yokusankai to expand our nation once again!? Now you are willing to cede part of the nation to minority-rule, giving us, the natives, only a portion of OUR country! It is our feeling that the ministries of Defence and Internal Affairs must put the Orthodoxy in line and show them that Sekowo IS one, one under the banner of Kumiko Ishida, the Gozen Kaigi, and the true Sekowan people! |
| Date | 13:34:04, May 14, 2010 CET | From | Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | This is a temporary solution to the problem of national unity, the size of the Imperial Pluralists within the legislative assembly means that any attempt to create a united state under either group is unconstitutional. Either we separate or continue to serve the Holy Empires. OOC: For practical reasons, could Kyousan-tou vote yes simply to get the RP moving, while we all agree to continue RPing as if Kyousan-tou voted no? |
| Date | 15:24:36, May 14, 2010 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | The Gao-Showa Fascists and the Orthodox Junta seem to have discovered they are not so different after all, and are now willing to divide this nation among themselves in utter contempt of the majority of Sekowans. We find this power sharing deal an insult to the will of the nation and shall use any means necessary to reassert the sovereignty of Sekowans over their own country. OOC: A compromise solution would be to RP this as an armistice between two factions rather than recognition of equal sovereignty. This could be reflected in temporarily renaming Sekowo as 'Sekowan Civil War' or something of the kind. |
| Date | 19:59:04, May 14, 2010 CET | From | Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | We remind the National Liberation Front that it is up to the elected parties to represent the will of the civil war. OOC: How does "Warring States of Sekowo" sound? |
| Date | 19:59:38, May 14, 2010 CET | From | Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | I mean, will of the people ^^ |
| Date | 21:18:34, May 14, 2010 CET | From | [KU] 国立村 (Kokuritsu-mura) 🏘️ | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | OOC: We will vote Yes for moving the RP, but as you stated, shall RP as if we voted No. IC: The non-loyalist parties are continually forgetting the fact that the Orthodoxy has no legitimacy for rule. History clearly shows that this is a Gao-Showa nation, not Orthodox. No decentralization, no partitioning! |
| Date | 12:40:42, May 15, 2010 CET | From | Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | OOC: K, putting to vote. IC: The ministers of defence and internal affairs have ordered the Imperial Army to remove all members of the Kyousan-tou from the Joint Session of the Imperial Synod of the Imperial Dominions and the Gozen Kaigi of the Eternal Harmony and Empire Magnificent for the duration of the voting. Nothing must be allowed to put the future peace of the region at risk. |
| Date | 17:44:11, May 15, 2010 CET | From | [KU] 国立村 (Kokuritsu-mura) 🏘️ | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | Let it be known to all that Prince Kobayashi and Kurodo Shogo are traitors to the Sekowan people! They have silenced the opposition of partition and have strengthened the goals of the Orthodoxy; they are now nothing more than tools of the gaijin. We call on the immediate removal of Kobayashi and Kurodo from Taisei Yokusankai as they have clearly broken the Oath the their party pledged. They have not done their duty to defend the Empire, the Most High and Great Emperor, of the Great and Mighty Ishida Dynasty, Ruler of the Celestial Palace and the Eternal Harmony of the Empire Magnificent, Living Descendant of the Sun Goddess and God Supreme to the Sekowan People and those of the Wider World |
| Date | 20:37:44, May 15, 2010 CET | From | Saiken Renmei | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
| Message | This we shall tolerate no more! The people of Sekowo shall rise in arms against this treacherous deal and take the country back for themselves. We reject the legitimacy of these two new governments, for which the will of the Sekowan people counts for little, and which use bourgeois democracy as a facade for their brutal dictatorship. OOC: Since it won't really affect the result of the vote, we'll vote no for RP reasons. |
| Date | 21:38:09, May 15, 2010 CET | From | People's Party | To | Debating the The Partition of Sekowo Act, 2937 |
