| Message | And verifying the identities of our visitors doesn't do this already? The way it works now, we run the passport over a computer database, and ID is confirmed. They may be refused entry if there are significant "black marks" against them. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
