| Message | Mr. Speaker, Isn't it ironic that these proposals are from the same party that complains about our current political system as "a Socialist bureaucracy" ? http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=424014 And it's it hilarious that this is the same party that proposed the Free Market Act? http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=423550 As I have warned over and over again, Wolfe Stanford's party doesn't know what it stands for. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |
| Date | 23:27:57, December 16, 2014 CET | From | National Socialist Fatherland Party | To | Debating the First National Socialism Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, National Socialism and Socialism are two distinct things. We proposed the Free Market Act to deconstruct the socialist industries that had built up. ------ Party Leader Wolfe Stanford |
| Date | 23:36:40, December 16, 2014 CET | From | Great National Republican Guard | To | Debating the First National Socialism Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Regardless of what Wolfe Stanford says, he is advocating for more state bureaucracy in the economy. Also, he just admitted that he deceived the Presidium when he proposed to have a free market, when he wanted the exact opposite. It's funny how he complains about bureaucracy and distrust in the Presidium - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=424014 - when his party is advocating for more state bureaucracy and his party can't be trusted by the Presidium. -- Andre Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
