| Message | I just tweaked the lyrics of the Acadian anthem. I find their anthem is very slow and nice, and the fact that it starts and ends in Latin adds something that other anthems do not. Here's a link to the melody of the Acadian (soon-to-be-plaguerized Dolgarian anthem): http://www.national-anthems.net/web/find.webpage?from=real&what=acadia&id=AD |

| Message | ^ Unfortunately, the link only provides the melody for the first two verses... And you will note the Acadian Anthem was originally written in French, so it loses something in English... lol. |

| Message | I also dislike the current national anthem. while I dislike fact that your current anthem is french in origin, and wish that you proposed an anthem that "kicked ass" (literally, you know, something like "KILL THE ENDRALONIANS AND MINORITIES") yea its cool, lets change it. |

| Message | I just found out the anthem is not French in origin. Acadia has two anthems, French and English. I adapted the English one. And here's a nice recording of the first verse in Latin: http://david.national-anthems.net/aca.rm |

| Message | Not 'Imperial' enough for my liking, needs some reference to trampling the barbaric hordes or something.... |

| Message | "Ave Maris Stella, Dei Mater Alma" Isn't that a reference to god ? |

| Message | uh oh you said the "G" word in front of IPD |
| Date | 05:27:19, December 23, 2005 CET | From | Movement for White Supremacy | To | Debating the "Our National Anthem Sucks" Act |
| Message | But yea, we definitely need references to "destroy the barbarian minorities" or "Mein Kampf" |

| Message | What, my struggle? Its certainly has been a bloody struggle, I don't mind telling you.... Oddly enough the anthem that we have at the moment was originally in French. I wouldn't mind seeing the whole lot in Latin, I mean we are meant to be 'Roman' in theme are we not? |

| Message | Can we get 48-ish more votes? If we don't, this wont pass... <_< |

| Message | ^ nevermind, election happened. The people who voted "yes" last time now have exactly 2/3rds of the seats, so this should pass =) |

| Message | What the? 750 devided by 66% (2/3rd) equals 495. Thsi should have passed... |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
