Message | We would approve Article 3, but we cannot abide the other two Articles. Especially Article 2 would give too much power to our military, leading - at best - to greater tensions between the military and the populace. At the worst, it would undermine the very political fabric of this republic. We will vote no. |

Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
