| Date | 09:26:07, November 07, 2006 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Election Reform of 2311 |
| Message | This reflects the new tendency put forward by Aaron Regdal, chairman of HPP and his allies in this question. We search for a unitarist state with a strong centre. For now we will vote no. |

| Message | ooc: Who cares about a strong unitarist state when the game is no fun to play anymore? There is little that goes on; at least frequent elections keep it fresh. |

| Message | ooc: we might consider changing the time between elections back, but not the chacellor/HoG structure. As was there was little to no point in being the chancellor (except for the pretty crown). Now at least there's a reason for the election. It just adds another level of game play. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
