| Message | OOC: I'm voting absolutely no on this because this is a huge part of Dorvish culture and is also part of an RP Law. |

| Message | OOC: A bit odd national service being a part of the culture here... |

| Message | OOC: Not entirely actually. The Dorvish have been a warlike people for ages and to undermine something such as this when it's very likely you're own party members served and got their start due to their service in either one of the many Dorvish government agencies or I'm one of the branches of the military. It's also attached to the Landsturm Decree which is an RP Law so you'd have to overturn that with a 2/3 majority I believe is the ruling. |

| Message | OOC: Due to our party's stances, overall I'd say the majority of ex-soldiers would be in your party, the ones in mine would most likely be people who wish they were given more of a choice instead. Looks like we'll have to be getting to work on that Decree then ;) |

| Message | Farsun, please read the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6363 ). RP laws cannot contradict game mechanic laws (22.3.2). I would also point out that your "Landsturm Decree" (see http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=443170 ) was not passed by the customaryl 2/3rds of seats majority required for constitutional laws. So in short, no player should feel obligated to vote against this bill on account of the Game Rules. Aquinas (Moderation) |

| Message | I also want to clarify the Cultural Protocol rules would not obligate players to vote against a bill like this either. Aquinas (Moderation) |
| Date | 23:37:42, June 24, 2016 CET | From | Schwarze Adler Verein | To | Debating the Law on National Service |
| Message | As it was previously told to me by Moderation that it was 2/3 of players required I'll base it off that. Thanks though Aquinas. |
| Date | 23:45:15, June 24, 2016 CET | From | Moderation | To | Debating the Law on National Service |
| Message | I am not aware of any Moderator telling any player that, but whatever happened here, I'm glad we're all clear now. Aquinas (Moderation) |
| Date | 23:48:50, June 24, 2016 CET | From | Schwarze Adler Verein | To | Debating the Law on National Service |
| Message | I apologize, I'll find the thread and post it. However that rule was created and in place before the current iteration of the "Game Rules" and no provision states about RP Laws made prior to the current rules and how they are to be handled thereafter. RP laws previously required that 2/3 of active players (as noted in the bill to be expressively clear) was required and therefore was in good faith. |
