| Message | Apparantly you don't. There are three kinds of centrists - the apathetics with no views, those who believe in moderation, and those who have pleanty of views that simply put them in the middle of the political spectrum. We are the third kind and convinently selectively choosing which parts of our platform to put to vote. |

| 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. |
