| Message | We are appalled at the proposition of a tax on essential goods, as it will quite obviously hurt and affect the poor of this nation the most. Additionally, as history has shown, prohibition does not work, and only causes more destruction to both consumers and the general community. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
