| Message | We come to you with somber news. Months ago, prior to our disappearance, 17 armed radical anarchists invaded the homes of a vast majority of our parliamentary delegates and kidnapped both the delegates and their families. They had been held in captivity until the passing of the Economic Regulation and Space Regulation acts. Even now, a 'round-the-clock staff of ex-servicemen and armed guards are watching over the homes of all representitives of the Hammerian Capitalist Party. Our delegates, although emotionally and mentally shaken, have returned to parliament, physically unharmed. Upon investigation of the radical forces, we have uncovered a voting record - an unwaivering support for the Freedom Party! Obviously, these radicals want nothing less than complete disorder in Aloria. Preserve the order, preserve the freedom, preserve the capitalism! We cannot allow such actions to continue! Unite Aloria under a coalition that works for the good of the people, and for the safety of our citizens, our children, and our future - we must unite under the Aloria Coalition! |

| Message | OOC: That's godmodding. You cannot associate them with me without my permission. I demand a retraction of that statement. IC: Get off the crack. We have never supprted armed insurrection, and if we opposed everything that anarchists favour we would have to support fascism. Do you support fascism, HCP? |

| Message | Well, you are the closest to anarchism. We assume they are for you. You haven't published a condemnation, have you? |

| Message | This bill might lose by one seat. The Freedom Party has betrayed their capitalist voter base! |

| Message | (OOC: It's not godmodding. I never *said* that they were associated with you, I just said that a voting record shows that they *vote* for you.) |
| Date | 02:42:35, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Hammerian Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Repeal Economic Regulation Act and Space Regulation Bill |
| Message | IC: The Freedom Party's waivering support of many opposing views makes us wonder. Obviously, the interests of this "Freedom" party are more centered around their own seat count than they are center around the interests of their voters! It is our opinion that the Freedom Party wishes for nothing more than to overturn political parties in Aloria, in a mad quest for power! |
| Date | 02:44:10, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Repeal Economic Regulation Act and Space Regulation Bill |
| Message | We didn't publish a condemnation because we didn't know about it. Why didn't we know about it? Because we didn't plan it and it wasn't in the newspapers ( http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewnews.php?nation=2 ). Furthermore, we haven't betrayed our capitalist voter-base. We object to articles 1, 4 and 5. Now stop trying to slander us. |

| Message | Well, you voted no to the original bills. Besides, you haven't been in the practice of voting no on bills when you disagree with one clause. You voted to rename Aloria the "Aloria Coalitional Confederacy of Aloria" because you agreed with a few of the clauses in it. Generally, the larger the bill the more likely you are to vote for it. Though perhaps you are a fake capitalist? Only voting for capitalist bills you know your vote doesn't make a difference in. That sure makes sense. I can only hope that the voters will know the truth about the party. And, the explosion of the parliament that we all know happened in 2145 wasn't reported in anything but your newspaper, btw. We *all* know how accurate the national one is on anything but elections. |

| Date | 16:44:19, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Democratic Liberal Party | To | Debating the Repeal Economic Regulation Act and Space Regulation Bill |
| Message | We are opposed, this act gors too far in many aspects. |
| Date | 19:58:41, January 17, 2006 CET | From | Independent Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Repeal Economic Regulation Act and Space Regulation Bill |
| Message | DLP, it doesn't go too far. All it does is repeal a bill that the HCP representatives missed by a month and would have made fail. But whatever, at least the voters can know your true visibilities as regulators. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
