I can suspend my "disbelief" for that...a JC concert would be cool to attend....I'll take a ticket...and give me a shot of Bacardi 151 and leave the bottle....
Yet another coup attempt...what is it with people? This is EUtopia, not Liberia!

And you guys always thought we--the ESRP--were the agitators. It seems lately, like we're the only ones not blowing things up....
That's because you keep sending all of your money to Cuba and North Korea instead of to corrupt army officers!
Try infiltrating the army instead of defunding it, and you might find all the weapons you need for your revolution.
Um, on second thought, don't.

*walks into bar*:"Bartender give me as large Scotch as possible, had a bad day at work and i need something to cheer me up"*drinks the entire bottle and starts singing Stars and Stripes*.
I was wondering few things and i hope someone could answer them:
1) How many members a party has to have to well.. be a party.
2)I just founded new party, Eutopian Republican Conservative Party, and no one has joined it.
How to attract new members to a party?
3)*Orders large Budweiser*.Is number of newspapers owned by one player limited.
4How many dollars is one ducat?

"It used to be that you had to have three or four members to be officially recognized as a party. Now, I don't think that's required, you just have to meet all the registration deadlines to be able to run for office. Look at the Moderate Party vs. the ELP. The MP's are about three times as large as the ELP but the ELP is on the ballot while the MP is not."
"And don't feel bad about people not joining yet. It's all about timing. That is, offering the right alternative at the right time. If everyone thinks your party is too similar to an existing one then there's little reason for them to leave a large one that may have opportunities for them to serve in the government. Building a party is tricky, it requires that you work with other parties so that you can gain some respect and notoriety (the good kind!). It also means really advertising the differences and showing why YOUR party is a good home for voters - some people do this by going on the attack on another party, others by trying to be very cooperative and waiting to pick off unhappy members of existing parties."
"As for newspaper, radio or other media - you'll only be able own one. We have pretty tight laws concerning media ownership. It MAY be permissible to "own" more than one but you can only have content and editorial control over one."
"As for dollars to ducats? Depends on the exchange rate. I think it's about 1:1 or 1 to 1:5. But someone else can probably give you the exact answer. I'm just a bartender."

Current exchange rate of Ducats to US Dollars? 1:1. Our Ducat is a remarkably stable currency, it tends to hang tough with the dollar almost constantly.

Hey, I know I'm officially against gambling and all that....but I'm taking bets on how long this RD-MP-EEP coalition will last. I'll take bets in either the Ducat or the American Dollar.

I can't say I'm too fond of gambling either, but maybe I can contribute something else?

For a religious man, you've got a nasty streak, reverend. And you sure can't handle your wine.

Nasty environments make for nasty men.
Look at what our happy island home has become?
When I was part of the government, I was thwarted at every turn by enemies and supposed allies alike.
Why not just join the crowd our there that disregards the rule of law? You guys seem to be having more fun and there's certainly no accountability for your actions.
And no, I don't mean "you" so much directly, put down the pool cue, just all of those out there who engage in less than legal activities, bash the government and do what thye want, but then as soon as they feel attacked or injured start demanding the government come to their defense.
Enough with the whining. If we want to be cowboys, let's just be cowboys. Yippekiyay.

Reverend, my dear friend, I think you oughta seek counselling. I know you're under stress lately...some vague assumptions of threats on your life and all; but you're really getting paranoid.

*Tretiakov walks in and sets his bike right by the Bar*
Hey guys, quite some gathering around here. Happy to see you all!
*turns to bartender*
I'd like some heineken please, or better two of them. Lets drink for The Soldier, the fastest growing journal in the country. I should start donating some money to charity, or people will start calling me a capitalist.
*sits by Josephus and shakes his hand*
Well anyway, who the hell came up with this idiotic military reform bill in the parlament?

OOC: Just had my hair cut. And since you all think women are obsessed with such things I thought I'd tell yuo about it.

Hey Igor, glad to see you here.
Ah yes, the military reform bill, almost forgot about that. Must vote against it next time I step inside parliament.
Here, my good friend, have a drink.
Hey, why is that Lady giving me that dirty look. I'm no bum, you know.

[edit] Oh, I see the military bill has not even been tabled yet. Good work blocking that Bram.

As i'm chairman of ERCP and i'm editor of it's newspaper 'The Republican' can i still found a newspaper or another media as 'The Republican' is party newspaper so it's owned by party and not me.
Btw large beer please
You can't be a writer for two papers at once. In the MP, we had a similar situation. Charles Morgan couldn't join the staff (even though no-one but heagarty has written for it) at the Daily Balance, as he already has a paper, and a damned good one at that.
