| Message | OOC: The last one to pass. IC: I do agree with it but seeing how nothing was getting done, I thought one step. He wouldn't have any power the game is set up where monarchy (like us) the King (or Queen) has no real power, and that provision is for presidential democracies where people elect the head of state. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
