| Date | 02:18:31, April 14, 2006 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Introducing conscription |
| Message | No support. -The Republic has never been at war. -The Republic has many allies all over the globe. We have help in times of war. -Conscript soldiers are inadequate when compared to a professional army. A large number of conscripts would not be as effective as a smaller, better-trained force. |

| Message | Couple of things in the description i did not agree with. Civilian service should be longer than military service as it is unfair that someone risking their life for Hobrazia should serve the same period as someone who is away from all the action. The length of time in the reserves should be much longer as 5 years is not such a long period. |

| Message | Remember that if we accept to have a basic military structure we should accept this, as this law: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=62124 demands a certain amount of soldiers. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
