| Message | Our Party does not see why any of these proposals would even be suggested. Who does it help? Especially when t comes to adultery, this is entirely a personal matter. No government should have a say in what happens in the bedroom or people's personal lives. There is no justification for it whatsoever. And again, why would anyone even consider such a proposal? Who does it help to ban adultery? If people commit adultery they will do so regardless of the law. |

| 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". |
