| Message | Same as before, pushed to the fore again, it may pass this side of the last election |
| Date | 22:24:30, January 17, 2006 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the ISM Nationalisation of Energy Production Bill |
| Message | And again, no. There is no reason to remove the private sector involvement in the production of energy. None of the dire predictions made during the debate which led to partial privatization have come to pass; and power costs have dropped for all citizens due to the competation between public and private plants. |

| Message | This would create a monopoly and allow for massive gauging at the state's 'discretion'. It is healthier for the economy to leave it regulated but in the hands of the private sector. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
