| Message | MC I'm wondering do you just vote against everything to set yourself apart or are you really against everything because it seems like you and the socialist never vote together even on the most basic bills |
| Date | 21:43:44, September 26, 2006 CET | From |  Front Canrillaise | To | Debating the Justice Bill |
| Message | The party is against 3 of the 2 articles and therefore we must vote against it. This bill has 5 articles, in no way is it "basic." |

| Message | just wonder what 3 are u against and article 5 gives a prisoner the ability to make some type of money so they can get back on their feet when they return back to society who is hurt by these programs (chances the jobs they are doing pay below minimum wage so the tax payers aren't hurt much) |

| 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". |
