| Message | This would hand most of our government's Cabinet portfolios over to the extremists. We cannot support this. |
| Date | 13:35:25, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2340 |
| Message | So the Republican Brotherhood Party is now an extremist? Is this your opinion about the RBP or is it a contradictory statement? |

| Message | If you read my statement properly you would have noted the word "most". For the record, when I used the term "extremists" I was referring particularly to the Rednecks and Imperialists, and to a slightly lesser extent to the Unionist Party. As to yourselves, your party strikes us as pretty barmy too! |

| Message | I will take that as a compliement because an insult from a party like yours is considered as a compliment for me. Concerning your "Global evaluation" for the other parties, i 'll keep for them to respond, although i think that you do not deserve that some respectful parties respond to your insults. |
| Date | 18:19:05, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Christian People's Party (IA) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2340 |
| Message | We can support this cabinet. And like we have said before we do not belong to any "bloc" and we take offence to anybody that insinuate that we do. We are willing to work with anybody from the "Spiritualists" to the "Imperialists" as long we are given a fair representation in the national cabinet. |
| Date | 19:36:12, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2340 |
| Message | Although we usually gun for Defence, Foreign Affairs, Agriculture and the Environment portfolios we feel the current members of "His Majesty's Government" need to be removed as soon as possible and will fully support this then haggle for a better deal at a later stage. |
| Date | 21:09:24, January 06, 2007 CET | From | Spiritualists' National Union | To | Debating the Cabinet Proposal of April 2340 |
| Message | We call on our Republican friends to look long and hard at the parties they are about to propel into power, and reconsider their support for this Cabinet proposal. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
