(Roleplay) Poll: Patent office
I would like to propose that we establish a patent office in Apolytonia, where everyone who has discovered something new can register it as a patent to safeguard their intellectual property.
I myself have made many breathtaking inventions which I would like to register as patents, including the kettle, the fork, the house carpet, the Multi-Threaded Fiber-Optic 64-Bit Supercomputer, the car and my ultimate invention: the spiked club. However I believe I am not the only one who would require the services of the patent office. For example, the first person to discover a means of growing oranges in jungle tiles would most likely wish to register this as a patent as well.
Vote yes for the founding of an Apolytonian Patent Office!

I have a few things I'd like to register. What, you ask?
-- the dancing vorpal greatsword of swiftness +5
-- a catapult made entirely out of bananas. (Only the Del Monte variety will do.)
-- Biochemonuclear weapons.

Great minds think alike! I had PM'd our government officials last week with the same idea!
When/if opened I need to patent Sugar, Chocolate, Cocoa, Coffe, and Tea.
And our exclusive banana technique for tempering metal.

This is absurd.
Inventions should be able to benefit all Apolytons. What if the inventor refuses to share his inventions with the rest of the nation? If a cure for jungle fever is found, then it can be legally kept out away from those who need it.

If this office opens, I will proptly place a form for a apatent on my religiously inspired Smoothie recipe, and on the notion of a 'legislature' also. I plan to reap thousand of Lytons from the first anyway

Patents... Inventions
YOU ARE ALL OUT OF YOUR MINDS!!! 
You are at least 200 years ahead of yourselves. Patents are to protect inventions
We do not even know what invention is.
This all sounds paranoid
I vote no
Do not give in to the hysteria
