| Message | The moves to prohibit homosexuality is vile, and makes our working with the Order of St Parnum impossible. We will be resigning from the government and aiming to overthrow this system. |
| Date | 21:57:33, March 03, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | If forbidding immorality is "vile", then we might as well just ban churchgoing and recognize Dolgava as a demonocracy. |
| Date | 22:04:27, March 03, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | Homosexuality is not immoral. You are just a hateful nut-job. |
| Date | 22:33:47, March 03, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | On what authority do the Whigs decide what is moral and what is not? Have they ascended to the status of Gods without the rest of us mortals noticing? Is it not God the most high and His Holy Spirit that made us man and woman? Or are the Whigs now in open rebellion against God and His Holy Church? |
| Date | 23:21:36, March 03, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | We will restore the secular state. Religion has no place in public life. |
| Date | 00:58:09, March 04, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | You cannot divide human life into public or private. We all have only one life, given by God, to live in obedience to His command. By banishing religion into "private life", you let licentiousness and depravity rule "public life". Religion must permeate all layers of human life, so that man lives according to his purpose, to serve God. |
| Date | 14:51:54, March 04, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | Let us abolish this childish notion of a creator. |
| Date | 16:09:37, March 04, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | Only under demonic possession could one utter such madness as calling the existence of God a "childish notion", therefore the Order shall petition the Church to grant permission for performing exorcism on the Hulstrian nobles before their execution. |
| Date | 20:06:41, March 04, 2013 CET | From | Vigs Partija ('Whigs') | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | The Hulstrian nobility, loyal servants to the constitutional monarchy which the Order of St. Parnum wiped away shall not bow its knees to messianic peasants! Even if it means civil war, the hulstrian and minor nobles shall resist any force which would seek to dominate us. We of the nobility are the sole, legitimate, political force for Dolgava. Let the peasants, serfs, and even monks now bow to us; we who are born superior. |
| Date | 20:38:07, March 04, 2013 CET | From | Valsts Brālība Dolgavas | To | Debating the Cleansing Dolgava |
| Message | The constitutional monarchy was already dead when we arrived here, buried under unrepentant sinfulness. We have been granted rights over this land by the Vicar of Iliya himself, His Highest Holiness the Pápež. Whoever refuses to bow to the Pápež, refuses to bow to God. There is no legitimate authority but that which comes from the Heavenly Sovereign. |
