| Message | Mr Speaker, The DLP wishes to cut 6.8 billion in Science and Technology and yet they wish that this government maintains a vast University network on expense of the national government. I don't know what what the people of the DLP have eaten for lunch today, but it surely doesn't have a positive effect on their thinking. Hannes Percy Chairman NAP |

| 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. |
