| Message | The PCC supports this legislation as more representation for our nation's diverse ideals and more choices for young adults cannot in any form be a bad thing. |

| Date | 08:29:18, June 15, 2018 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act 4408 |
| Message | This bill is unnacceptable. 360 is a superior highly composite number |
| Date | 14:46:53, June 15, 2018 CET | From | Soul & Spirit | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act 4408 |
| Message | People not knowing why 360 is a better number just goes to show nobody knows what they're doing and aren't doing any research at all. They just want more seats because fuck it. |

| Message | At least having an odd number of seats would enable us to break any potential stalemates. While we know the Royalists and the NMA support a small parliament, surely more representation is not a bad thing and may even be needed, even if not by the NMA who couldn't risk losing control. |

| Message | SUPERIOR HIGHLY COMPOSITE NUMBER |
| Date | 20:02:49, June 16, 2018 CET | From | Soul & Spirit | To | Debating the Greater Representation Act 4408 |
| Message | PCC is over here trying to tell me I am trying to not lose control because they don't seem to understand what a superior highly composite number is. "More representation can't be a bad thing" with your kindergarten logic. Do you even know what you lot are doing down there? Do you honestly have any idea? |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
