| Message | Mr. Speaker, Freedom is important yes but, at what expense? Does the loss of life say another's in this regard? Well, no. Then perhaps it is a willful sacrifice made on a part of the person doing the sacrificing? Well that is also a no. So then what benefit does this freedom yield? None but, the meaningless loss of innocent life. Senator Martin Bishop (F-AD) Federalist Party Senate Leader |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
