| Message | With due respect, our honourable colleagues, we do not think that caring for our people and our herd by providing a reasonable standard of living, so that one can live with dignity one deserves no matter what, comes to be a surprise. In such case, then, we believe such pleasant surprise is favourable. *smile* -Takanashi Priestess-Noble |

| Message | OOC: whom* Since it is not addressed clearly, I think the most reasonable assumption would be towards the proposer of this act, namely me. |

| Message | OOC: But you're a somewhat statist welfare giant, so I don't see why this would surprise him. |

| Message | OOC: Neither do I, but since it is not stated clearly, I believe it is a reasonable assumption. Besides, we can spread more propaganda on the council floor using that chance, so why not? :D |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
