| Message | OOC: There are many players from all different nations watching our arguments, we seem to entertain them. And right now I can't help myself, but I have to put salt on the slug. ...Right after commericals... |

| Message | OOC: You may not see the reason why we'd like to start an argument. But I'll explain in a way even you low-class people can understand: 1) § A4 Would prosecute your own party, we don't approve of you, oops we're the government. 2) State owned monopolies retard technological developments 3) Banning international media would be the most irrational and anti-liberty act ever, free flow of information enables us all to know. Information and knowledge is power. Without access to international media, we'd be culturally stuck in 4100s, lose all chances to compete with foreign companies and it would destroy tourism 4) You're all scumbags and ironically this would become the offical position of the government, shall this bill pass. |

| Message | OOC: By the Way, great name, Dubious Egoist Union of Total Scumbags Chronically Hating Love, Antisocial Dundorfians. You should shorten your name into: the Union of DOOF. With your magical campaign slogan: So doof! (It works in 3 different languages ;) ) |

| Message | OOC: Oh yeah, and yes §A4 Would somehow affect me, but I did not think I actually criticized your government IC and even if it did it would make for great roleplay right? Also it is to really finally finish my compass soo yeah. |

| Message | OOC: Why are you discussing how much sense a bill makes in OOC? Do it in IC ffs. Nobody wants a serious personal, political discussion with you, and nobody cares about your views in OOC. Just play the game how it is supposed to be. |

| Message | OOC: Okay, things are clearly getting out-of-control here and you're leaving me with no choice but to step in. A reminder of the very first line of the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6363 ): "1. Respect. All players and Moderators must be treated with respect and courtesy at all times. 1.1 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." Insulting behaviour towards other members will NOT be tolerated. If you want to be insulting, there are other places on the internet which tolerate that - but we will not tolerate it here. Wobach: You have received an official warning for your insults. Socialistqat: You have received an official warning and are temporarily banned from playing in Darnussia until further notice. This is due to the severity of the insult in your last comment, the way you are using your party name and description to insult another player and also some other disrespectful behaviour which has been noticed in other bills. Please do not let me see anything like this happen again. Aquinas (Moderation) |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
