| Message | A hidious proposal, by a party not even in parliament! Oh boy, you red boys should have learned by now how things are run around here. If it were two years earlier we would have you arrested by now. I doubt the dorvish would allow for such a thing! We're bound by international law anyways. Paul auf Pappen, NAS Appointee |

| Message | The NAS is a stooge of the Dorvish capitalists. I call on all honourable appointees of the assembly to fight for the rights of the people. Arise comrades! Arise and throw off the yoke of the colonialists. The right wing scam has gone on for far too long. Let us fight for a better future that has the people's interests at heart.

| Message | OOC: ´"Karl Renner" 5.1 Prominent real-life persons. This includes references to philosophies featuring the name of a real-life person (eg. "Marxism", "Thatcherism", "Keynesianism"). Don't take it as a personal attack, its just game rules. |
