| Message | This is complete fallacy. It is also dangerous because inefficial local governments are widening the difference in the standrad of living across the country. Moreover, it is wrong because the proposed act is giving more power to busybodies and irresponsible local governments which are not in the position to decide what is best for the country on the whole because they only look after their own area. Increasing useless local governments is a danger to our nation and a danger to all the poeple up and down the country. |

| 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. |
