Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: When Oalapo first at Heaven's command Arose from out the emerald main Arose, arose, arose from out the emerald main This was the charter, The charter of the land, And guardian angels sung this strain: Refrain: Rule Luthori, Luthori rule the waves, Luthorians never never never shall be slaves. The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall: Must in, must in, must in their turns to tyrants fall. While thou shalt flourish, Shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. (Refrain) Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke: More dreadful, dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke. As the loud blast, The blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. (Refrain) Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame: All their attempts to bend thee down, All their, all their, all their attempts to bend thee down Will but arouse thy, Arouse thy generous flame; But work their woe, and thy renown. (Refrain) To thee belongs the rural reign; Thy cities shall with commerce shine: Thy cities, cities, cities shall with commerce shine All thine shall be the, Shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. (Refrain) The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair: Shall to, shall to, shall to thy happy coast repair Blest land! with matchless, With matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair. (Refrain)

And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best And... Always look on the bright side of life (whistle) Always look on the light side of life (whistle) If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing And... Always look on the bright side of life... (whistle) Come on! Always look on the bright side of life... (whistle) For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow So always look on the bright side of death (whistle) Just before you draw your terminal breath (whistle) Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the right side of life (whistle) Always look on the bright side of life (whistle) Always look on the bright side of life (whistle) |

| 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. |
