| Message | Comrades, The introduction of the profit motive into mass-media will have the opposite effect than the one suggested by the government. Our press will end up controlled by moneyed interests, instead of serving the public good as it currently does. Husniyya el-Masih Insieme |

| 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. |
