| Message | Awww, I like the long time between elections. It makes it so that you don't suffer as much when you're away (and since I'm going on vacation for 5 weeks, I'm only going to be on once and a while, so that's important to me). |

| Message | I'd consider five years, but not three. Three years is a joke so it is. |

| Message | I always liked the three year term. Think of it this way, Dundorf only has two years between elections, and it doesn't suffer. |

| Message | Doesn't suffer? It takes 8 months to pass a bill! The last 6 year term wasn't even long enough for us to pass a new cabinet. |

| Message | I think your inability to pass a new cabinet might me down to your insistance of giving the defence portfolio to the UCP. |
| Date | 14:40:33, December 07, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Government Terms |
| Message | My insistance? I was acting as an impartial Monarch and merely proposed the majority party's requested cabinet. |

| Message | "[longer terms] makes it so that you don't suffer as much when you're away " It doesn't! when you miss elections you don't suffer at all, in fact elections give you 15 months that bills don't pass in(8 up to election month then 7 more to vote for bills that are put to vote on election month), that's 60 hours! |

| Message | That's sixty hours wasted for us active players. |
| Date | 22:14:03, December 07, 2005 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Government Terms |
| Message | No one can be active all the time, I want more of those 60 hours so I don't have to suffer just because I can't/don't go on for a day and I'm pretty sure everyone else does too |
| Date | 01:33:09, December 08, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Government Terms |
| Message | I don't want to waste 15 months any more often than is absolutely necessary. |
| Date | 17:39:04, December 08, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Government Terms |
| Message | I'm active alot, actually. I REALLY have no life, you see... |
