| Date | 15:37:08, October 01, 2012 CET | From | Green & Liberal Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3373 |
| Message | No! Why would we decrease health and education spending and increase military spending? |
| Date | 18:55:49, October 01, 2012 CET | From | Independent Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3373 |
| Message | Lodamun's history is filled with great wars and great militaries. We need to modernize our military and reassert our position as one of the most powerful countries in this world. Government has no role in providing or regulating health care for the citizens of this country. |
| Date | 21:02:26, October 01, 2012 CET | From | Free Labour Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3373 |
| Message | Lodamun maybe has a history of warfare, but it's future lies in an era of peace. |
| Date | 23:17:15, October 01, 2012 CET | From | Green & Liberal Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3373 |
| Message | Lodamun's history is filled with killing people; not something to be proud of. The state is there to help people, if we had your way we'd be leaving people to die on the streets. |
| Date | 03:05:50, October 02, 2012 CET | From | Independent Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 3373 |
| Message | Unfortunately, wishing and reality are two different things. Though the Independent Party wishes we had eternal piece, the reality is that this world is full of war and destruction. The Independent Party believes that the best way to avoid destruction is to have a very strong military. The role of the state is to maintain order and protect the homeland. The rest is up to the citizens of this fine country. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
