| Message | Wuss. IC: A pamphlet distributed by Revolutionary Armed Forces operatives, and quoted in "The Warrior" magazine: "Every day the week and greed driven aristocracy of our country steals more and more from the people. Every day, they whittle away at the very foundation of our country. They dismantle the armed forces and police, leaving them only shells, keeping only enough to keep themselves and their own safe, to protect them from the will of the people, and to assault those who work for justice. They cave in to foreign and corperate pressure, while ignoring the pleas of the people. They sit safely, trespassers in the Capitol Building......... .....We must not allow these traitors to run our country into the ground. We must rise up, and face them. The people are what they fear most. The people are the only force that can destroy them............. Fight the Elites. Join the RAF." |

| Message | Three years, actually. I came to power mid term. Just for the purpose of to be role playing, how would you be convey this message? See me, is pamphlet, right? Can't talk back to a pamphlet. Can talk about a pamphlet, but to a pamphlet, insane, you see what I mean? I'm assuming it's a politician talking about the RAF, here, for purpose of the game. IC A pro-Militarist radio show host talks about the Bill: "Now, we've got to remember, the Militarist Party, them, it was them who restored order after the civil war. While the RAF was in charge, people didn't murder each other in the streets like today. It was them that put an end to the death squads, the looting, the rape, the anarchy, not the Social-Democratic Party. It was the stability that the Militarist Party brought to the country that allowed the RAF to be formed in the first place. And now look what they do. Going around, claiming to be all full righteous, dismantling and undoing left and right the work of true patriots, and claiming it's for the good of the people. I seem to remember, while the RAF was restoring order and trying to end the civil conflict, the Sociald-Democrat Party was involved in founding, supporting and directing an armed militia to disrupt the LEGAL MPS government and to murder it's agents. Where was their righteous opposistion then? Sheer idiocy...." |
