Description[?]:
Mr Speaker, it is time that we end the era of central planning and socialism in agribusiness. Instead of the unscientific practice of outlawing GMOs, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, we should legislate transparency and let the consumers decide themselves which products they are willing to buy and consume on this basis. We also propose to abolish land redistribution, a policy open for all kinds of corruption and favoritism. Fred Lamont MP Member for Ulbrach RFR Agriculture Spokesman |

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. |
