| Message | It seems clear to the newly formed Whig Party that it is far too simple to become a member of our nation. Those who desire to become Malivian's should be required to pass a test demonstrating that they understand the common history and culture that comes with being a Malivian. |
| Date | 15:39:16, December 10, 2006 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Citizen Test Act |
| Message | The MWP clearly does not appreciate the value of open society that Malivians have embraced for generations. We are an inclusive, not exclusive, culture, and any who desire the protection and bounty of our great nation are free to do so. |
| Date | 15:40:17, December 11, 2006 CET | From |  Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Citizen Test Act |
| Message | Malivia's history, of which the the Whig party speaks of, is that of accepting any and all into our nation to lead a new life as a Malivian. Thus such a test would be contrary to the spirit of Malivia and prevent many productive individuals from becoming Malivian. |

| 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. |
