| Message | We would prefer this to be allocated to local governments if the option were available. We would prefer this option be set to: The government operates large, national banks, but small community based private banks are allowed. We will vote yes regardless because this policy is better than the completely privatized alternative. |

| 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". |
