| Message | We're on the fence. We are against the death penalty, but we do not take a hard-line stance on it; We could live with the current law as well.. |

| Message | If you're going to stick with the current law you'd better try and change the extradition laws because at present, they contradict. We, however, will not support a change in the extradition law. |

| Message | We will not change the extradiction laws, as we do not think they contradict. The currect extradiction policy says nothing about the death penalty, it states that we do not extradict to nations that practice cruel or inhumane treatment of suspects, so nations who torture their prisoners are out of the question. Should our policy state that we do not extradict to nations with capital punishment (which is another available option at the extradiction issue), while we ourself allow the death penalty, then that would contradict. |

| 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. |
