| Message | OOC: To the SPP - do you want to name the publication? Sorry to everybody that I kind of appropriated the name "The Gadur Times" for myself - I used to run newspaper articles under that name (since I always won Marligantos, back in the day), and it just became habit. If you guys are up for RPing the media in the nation, we could have a list of media organizations for the different political affiliations, etc. It could lead to some interesting politics, especially if there are large clashes between the media organizations. I'll do an IC article response to the comment in The Gadur Times, once voting for this bill has finished. |

| Message | OOC:Well mine is also called Gadur Times to combat the SCP’s Union Times, so I’ll rename it to either Chicciola Times or Las Nubes Times since Salnaeta and North Vintalli have been loyal to the SPP. |

| Message | OOC:I’m renaming it to Las Nubes Times because North VIntalli went to the LUP |

| Message | We expect bills to be titled correctly, and not in a way where the title has no relevance to the topic. We would have suggest the name "Isolate Gaduridos Bill" |
