| Message | I thought we really needed a new cabinet, because of the political earthquake. I guess this is the best choice then |
| Date | 16:40:46, January 24, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Sovereignty Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2175 |
| Message | I'll oppose this one, not only because you're included in it, but because ULP ought to be the one calling the shots here. ULP is the largest party, and is the boss of any coalition that will include ULP. As such, I will oppose this proposal, and would call on the ULP to propose a cabinet of the ULP's liking. I would be willing to work with ULP if called upon. |
| Date | 16:48:15, January 24, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2175 |
| Message | Well, that's OK with me too. ULP should know my major interest is Finance, and I am willing to join his cabinet if it does NOT contain ssp, and if it contains some more parties who agree with me (EDP and SNP) |

| Message | *Maybe a Quote: Quote ssp: ULP is the largest party, and is the boss of any coalition that will include ULP. I heard whole other things during the 40 years the VBS Party was the largest one in Selucia... |

| Message | This only adds to my claim. You scorned the ULP, but when it becomes the biggest party in Selucia, you not support him heartily. I, on the other hand, wanted him as the top man in a cabinet when he had zero seats. I hope this will only go to show that you will use any party to get you in a cabinet, while I have sincere wants to put parties in cabinet positions they will excel at. |

| Message | You were never in my coalition. THerefore, as not being in my coalition, you did not call the shots, and were not the boss of my coalition. You were the boss of the opposition. |

| Message | SLP is correct. The opportunism displayed here by VBS is clear, but unsurprising. It simply repeats a similar pattern that has been exhibited by that party for nearly 6 decades. Funny how he suddenly converted to the Church of White Castle about ten seconds after the election results were posted... |
| Date | 19:35:45, January 26, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2175 |
| Message | Maybe you should check and double-check something before you type it, it will stop you from telling lies The VBS Party was a member of the Parties in support of the Free White Castle years before the previous election, because we like the principles. However, without ULP here, we just wouldn't be able to realise some of this, because of you guys negative attitude, so we thought it was a great day for the organisation when the 2 largest parties in Selucia supported their ideas. Besides, I don't believe I've got instructions to take from a praty that lost about 1/2 of its voters in 2 elections(like ssp), and one that lost even more(like SLP). In stead of gossiping around about the VBS, you should look why your voters all flead |

| Message | What policies actually attracted you to white castle? Do you even know what the "White Castle" reference means? I already asked you once, and you've simply ignored it. The truth is, you don't know anything about "white castle". This is just more shameless opportunism by VBS, willing to try to manipulate whatever opportunity he can in order to satisfy his lust for power. |
| Date | 18:52:29, January 27, 2006 CET | From | VBS Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2175 |
| Message | Quote the People in Support of White Castle: Do you enjoy a nice hamburger steam grilled on a bed of onions and served with a pickle on a soft bun? Do you oppose the cruel governments that deny this pleasure to the free people of your country? If both of these answers are yes, then Parties in Support of a Free White Castle is for you. We are a brotherhood that stretches beyong national boundaries, united by our love of those delicious steam grilled burgers. In 2 words: FREEDOM (The VBS Party has expressed this since the first day) and BURGERS(maybe you didn't know that, well, you know it now) |

| Message | I will put this to a vote, just for the record; You never know what will happen |
| Date | 21:45:59, January 27, 2006 CET | From | Selucian Sovereignty Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2175 |
| Message | Once again, VBS, you've proven your utter ignorance. White Castle is a restaurant Chain the US midwest. It only has locations in the US, but I'm hopeful that they will soon expand to Canada (or, a border town close to me would be good too). They are known for tiny burgers. You can also buy White Castle food in the frozen food aisle in some parts of the US. The chain grew to prominence in the stoner comedy "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle", which is perhaps the funniest movie I've seen in the last two years. The parties in support of White Castle obviously drew on that film as their inspiration. ULP also drew on that movie, as one of his ministers is called "Harold N Kumar", an obvious reference to the movie. White Castle has nothing to do with religion. It is a restaurant and iconic movie reference. |

| Message | Looks like this cabinet is going down in flames. I'd like to thank the SNP and the EDP :) |
