| Message | SLP and MLA you really want to legallize dueling? We are really shocked at the proposals of the RVP and we are even more shocked that such illiberal bills find consent under AL members. We will firmly oppose. |
| Date | 00:09:00, March 15, 2016 CET | From | Conservative | To | Debating the Regionalism II |
| Message | Conservative seconds the NAP. Some resolutions are fine, but others like duelling and powers of police will set dangerous precedents. We are forced to oppose. - CPA |

| Message | CPA: Weren't you forced to oppose or did we miss something? |
| Date | 20:02:06, March 16, 2016 CET | From | Conservative | To | Debating the Regionalism II |
| Message | NAP: Our constituents gave us a clear message that they were dissatisfied with the direction our party was taking and so we felt it necessary to defer to their wisdom on such matters. They want more regionalism and so they shall have it. We do hope, however, that some of these proposals will be overturned in due course. In particular, we oppose the ones pertaining to dueling and powers of police. - CPA |

| 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". |
