| Message | Members of Congress, After much internal debate we have decided to reverse our vote on this bill, while we still believe it is not the intention of the Conservatives to legalize slavery but this would make it easier for the few people it would. Thank you and have a nice day. Harrison Horrell, President of Baltusia, Centrist Part of Baltusia. |

| Message | I'd like to target the Working Class Party's unprofessional use of language in the congress. Using phrases such as "omg" and "lol" is simply not appropriate in this official establishment. Please, could the Working Class Party work to correct their error, so we can proceed to run our great nation without issues. Jared Chandler Free People's Libertarian Party, the party for the people. |

| Message | I think the FPLP should worry about why you chose to be in a cabinet with the conservative party. We have never used "lol" in congress. So I think you should correct your lying, it's highly unprofessional. Press Secretary Madam Edeh |

| Message | In private messages, the WCP contacted us to say that "It's a shame you're still in the cabinet with a inhuman, disgusting party." While we understand their frustration, we want to represent our people, and will take any opportunity to do so. The Conservative Party currently holds a third of the seats in congress, therefore when we were invited to do so we did not turn it down in an attempt to balance congress. The Working Class Party is more than welcome to disagree with the Conservative Party's views, but the people voted and they voted for the Conservative Party. If the Working Class Party wishes to continue disregarding the Conservative Party and branding it as "inhuman" and "disgusting" they will be branding 21 million of Baltusia's population as "inhuman" and "disgusting" as well. Even though we were attacked, we responded professionally and welcomed the party, "Nice to meet you too, welcome to Baltusia." which was luckily met with a more appropriate response where the Working Class Party said "Hello, but I'm not new to Baltusia. Just inactivated for a month. I'm actually the oldest current player playing now in this country lol." We consider communication between congressional parties congressional interactions, and as you can clearly see the Working Class Party made use of the "lol" in what we explain to be a congressional interaction. We would like the Working Class Party to apologize for falsely accusing us of lying. Jared Chandler, Free People's Libertarian Party, the party for the people. |

| Message | No, you said in your own words I'd like to target the Working Class Party's unprofessional use of language in the congress. Private messages aren't in congress. They're private messages...So stop deflecting from the fact that you made a deal with the devil. |
| Date | 23:34:58, October 23, 2017 CET | From | Speaker James Berlow | To | Debating the Treaties of evil |
| Message | Could I remind Members of Congress, specifically Congressperson Chandler, that when sending private messages there is an implicit agreement to confidentiality and thus the contents of any messages sent to a party from another party should not be shared in Congress without permission from the sender. |
| Date | 23:43:16, October 23, 2017 CET | From | United Democratic Party - Liberal | To | Debating the Treaties of evil |
| Message | OOC-Wait who are you? But I totally agree, private messages should be kept private. Good thing those messages didn't detail classified information. I would sue, but I think the FPLP have made themselves look bad already. |

| Message | OOC: While you were away we created a speaker of congress, it's controlled by me as nationmaster |

| 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. |
