| Message | OOC: You do realize you cannot just make up a bunch of problems and then just justify this bill with them, correct? In my opinion the Socialist economy is doing very well and helping Dorvik..so we have a problem here. |

| Message | OOC: Vote it down if you diagree with the policy, thats how particracy works. If i create a think tank to justify my policies, create your own think tank to counter it, or simply call the findings into question... its called 'role play', and probably the single thing that makes this game interesting. You can't just pull an OOC comment and tell me how you want the game to be played. Fine if you believe that Socialism works in Dorvik, but I'm not here to tow your party's line. When I say that my party is pro-small government, then I mean to actually take on a small government agenda. |
