| Message | If the Speaker would be so kind as to split up their bills into smaller pieces, much more would be done. This is an entire policy, and as a result there are parts that some agree with, and some that we don't. I would recommend that you break this up into pieces in order to at least pass something. |

| 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. |
