| Message | OOC: All I have to say is that Ice Hockey is stupid bullshit. At least let's have some color to our nation. Fucking Christ, people. |

| Message | Any sport is better than a thing that is not a sport at all! I chose hockey to discredit the argument that I know is coming, "To keep the traditional." Hockey was the older sport. I looked through bill histories. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

| Message | And besides that, I think that the Pie Munching add color to Aloria, something we could do with. We're nothing special. Deltaria is pretty damn outlandish and, look at that, they're well known and special. Aloria needs to be more than just a libertarian/socialist/other paradise. The Confederacy party HELPS, but it doesn't quite do it. |

| Message | ACPA, you've convinced me. I mean.. Deltaria are friggin' nut jobs, but they're one of the most well known nations, i'd like us to be a well known nation, so i now vote against this. |

| Message | Being silly won't make us a known nation. Being more internationalist and active in RP and on the forums will make us a known nation. We could be the sillyiest nation ever and yet we won't be recognized if no one notices us. |
