| Date | 17:18:36, April 21, 2017 CET | From | Kapitalistyczna Partia Hobrazia | To | Debating the KPH - Agenda for Government |
| Message | Party Leader Edgar Strausser remarked: "These sensible and pragmatic reforms will return Hobrazia to its natural status as a capitalist economy. The KPH needs to be freed from the constraints of coalition so that we can govern alone and not be restricted from pursuing our aims by a left-wing caucus. This bill is a promise to the people of Hobrazia to show what we will achieve with a majority KPH government under my leadership." Mr. Strauser also posted on HobChat: @RealEdgarStrausser - tell your Senators to #BackTheBill and get behind the #KPH! |
| Date | 18:24:00, April 21, 2017 CET | From | Progressive Partia of Hobrazia | To | Debating the KPH - Agenda for Government |
| Message | The PPH strongly opposes this bill, with the exception of article one. Hobrazians have not given the KPH a controlling majority in 14 years. We believe that this is a clear sign the Hobrazia has embraced the policies of the Left Wing Coalition. |

| 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. |
