| Date | 23:35:43, December 21, 2006 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Zulu Nation Bill 2 |
| Message | We oppose the first and the second article. The third we could perhaps have agreed on. Concerning article 4 we're already happy with the status-quo. And we have no opinion (yet) about article 5. At the moment, we're not sure what direction we're going to vote, or if we're even going to cast a vote.. We also regret there was no time to discuss... |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
