| Message | OOC: More constructive responses tend to lead to better role-play, which in turn creates more fun and lasting enjoyment for the game. Plus, you should always start the debate off with: Mr. Speaker, Comrade, Herr Speaker or something like that. It's common procedure in national legislatures. |
