| Message | No it's not, because Cobura is what it always has been, a shithole for everyone but those who worked for what they had and are now enjoying the fruits of their labor. Is it the fault of the super wealthy that the rest of the country was lazy and didn't work when they had the chance? No. so why should we be Coerced into charity for people who will only waste it? |

| 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. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
