| Message | Why do attempt to tear down what we have so recently put in place. |
| Date | 07:44:54, November 26, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the The New Alliance Platform |
| Message | Typical small government devolution platform. This is precisely what I talk about all the time. We are regularly visited by Parties who adopt these platforms. We like 1 and 3. So we will oppose this bill. |
| Date | 20:02:05, November 26, 2012 CET | From | Five Regions Liberation Alliance | To | Debating the The New Alliance Platform |
| Message | If its any consultation, I really was trying to avoid the devolution proposals, but reviewing the laws, I found that I liked a lot of them, but its hard to run on a platform of "keep everything the same" |
| Date | 22:35:52, November 26, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the The New Alliance Platform |
| Message | OOC: Often I find that if one waits long enough, parties come in and change everything. Sometimes it is enough to simply vote and establish positions. Omnibusses rarely make it through unless you have the votes yourself to push them through. |
| Date | 23:13:46, November 26, 2012 CET | From | National Union Party | To | Debating the The New Alliance Platform |
| Message | Although we don't mind several of the proposals, they seem not of vital importance compared to the ones we oppose, mainly Articles 5, 8, 9, and 10. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
