| Message | Alcohol causes a lot of health problems! From stomachic ulcer and problems in the liver to neurological damage - and this thing is addictive! The losses on cognitive funcion and emotional control caused by ethanol can harm not only the user, but their family, friends, partners, neighbors and even stranges which don't have any relation with the drinker. We agree that prohibition doesn't work, and, as history says, it leads to a rampant increase on crime. But regulation and prohibition are different things. - Party President Caroline Hellekin |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
