| Message | More totalitarism and fasco-communism. Nothing new though really. And as always: In accordance with the Pledge of July 2258, we vote against this piece of legislation proposed by fasco-communists who conspire against the core ideals of Telamon. |

| Message | If you hadn't moved this one to a vote, we could have come to a compromise. Article 1 is good, but I think Article 2 leaves the public to un-safeguarded. We shall propose a counter measure. Nevermind, I just saw the not. Anyway, you will be seeing a bill that will do the opposite of what you advocate: big surprise, huh? |

| 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". |
