Date | 12:43:38, March 12, 2006 CET | From | Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry' | To | Debating the Roll Back the State Act |
Message | (Just wait for the FHP to come back. With 9 parties here, we'll average 33 seats a piece. Some parties will probably get fed up.) The Bastards approve of most this bill; while we are disappointed with Article 1, the budget strain will be reduced by this. |
