| Message | Mr. Speaker, None of these articles promote the constitutional and democratic rights of our citizens. The government does not have any authority over the people on how they should live their lives. We simply won't support this bill. Henry Clark, NIP Leader. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
