| Message | The GWP approve of the above repeals except for Article 2. We support many of the freedoms of love won by the Likatonian people over the years; among the most important of these is the right of consent. Unless some means of gauging consent among animals can be devised the GWP must take a hardline stance against bestiality in any form. Given that the SLP will pass the repeal regardless, we will vote "yes" for this omnibus measure but will be drafting legislation to reinstate the reforms of Article 2 following the 4222 elections. |
| Date | 05:41:51, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Tea Party | To | Debating the Repeal of Immoral Acts Reform 4221 |
| Message | The TP though new and without seats heavily protests the above bill as not only a disgusting disgrace to humanity but also as a affront to religions of all. 'This is an abomination!' Screamed radical protester Daniel Traegar 'We will not bow down to these disgusting politicians and they're fetishes! We need to put our foot down and fight for humanity!' Though radical in what he said Chairman Jonathan Archer of the TP essentially supports Traegar. |

| Message | To all parties that vote against this bill, the SLP does not understand how the sexuality of other people can be a business of yours. Here we aren't forbidding nor forcing anyone to do anything against their will; on the contrary, we are allowing everyone to do whatever they want with their sexuality while it does not damage anyone. Traditions and "morally correct" behaviour are still available for anyone whishing to follow them. |

| 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. |
