| Message | Then the CPI would be sorely mistaken. Our health and welfare services suffer at the hands of attempting to fix the problems of others. There is no reason that Ikradon cannot be a force for great social justice in the world with a more targeted program to address specific problem areas around the globe without having to break the budget of public services. |

| 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. |
