| Message | Goodness no. War does not give us the right to persecute Dolgarians in a tyrannical manner. One can wage a war - especially a defensive war - and not force the population into such a subserviant manner for this government. This is what the fascist regime in Endralon wishes to see Dolgaria become; a state in perpetual marshall law, disregarding and degrading the ability of Dolgarians to be truly free. Let us remain vigilant in protecting the free society we hold dear - both from the enemy and from ourselves - lest we be no better than those who take up arms against us. (Besides which, our current system allows us to draft the population as we see fit, so this is pointless) |

| 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. |
