| Message | And why? Why shouldn't people have equal rights? Why shouldn't they have a right to a progressive system? Why should they liev under the repressive thumb of the state? |

| Message | Well, they weren't clear about it. They were being very ambigeous with their all-round generic "no" response. But, nevertheless, I have changed it to ensure that torture is NOT an option. |

| Message | I like that last phrase. The nice thing is, we don't say "no" to capital punishment, which will keep the right-wingers happy. (even though we do oppose it) |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
