| Message | Ever heard of leaving things in debate rather than just rushing to vote? Or maybe even giving a bill description? It's not hard to do and does help so much in improving game play. |

| Message | @First: You are a hypocrite. You want to permit all advertising, yet not for religions? If they are taxed as businesses, then they should be treated as such. Furthermore, leave things in debate longer, add more description, and at least take the .01 seconds it takes to hit the "Shift" key required for capitalization. |

| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
