An Announcement from the Sphere of Win: The Emerald Economic Community


Goldie

Recommended Posts

Green's had an interesting history, to say the least. Once a very harmonious team, and hugely represented in CN, forces decided to conspire to destroy that harmony and constrict that representation. While the past glory will be impossible to replicate, the alliances of the sphere have worked hard to create a truly utopian sphere, where alliances of various backgrounds and styles can co-exist and embrace the spirit of what team-building is actually about.

Many colors represent spheres, places people hover around without any true unification or shared direction, and who have members who do not want to work together, and in some cases, wish ill upon each other. Green is not a sphere in this sense. Green is a team, the Green Team, the Sphere of Win.

A team is composed of equal players on the field. Every member of the team has an effect on how the team succeeds or fails, and every member of the team deserves the respect that comes with that essential role.

On green, we seek to exemplify that ideal. We don't want anyone taking ownership of the team, or managing the team and dictating policies to the others, we want the teammates having their voices heard and respected, so that the team can prosper as a whole.

These senate proposals can be handled in a couple of ways. They can be decided on from high by an alliance that controls a sphere and then broadcasts their decisions to the rest. They can be handled by a select few who hopefully are acting in the interests of those unrepresented. Or they can be democratically decided on, with equality and respect for all alliances who wish to play a role in the progression and success of the team.

Green has chosen the latter option.

In contrast to those who wish to lord over their spheres, green will handle its business as a team of equals, regardless of if they are one of the select few who can run a senator or not. An alliance with 100 members and an alliance with 10 members, should they both decide that they want to be a part of a successful team, can have their equal say at the table. A six year old, or six month old, or six week old alliance, should they want to embrace the ideals that green has for itself, can have their equal vote on the issues that affect the sphere.

There will always be a sphere open and willing to anyone who doesn't want to live their lives in service to others, or having their policies decided for them by those who have no care about their welfare or well being. Green is here for you, and we will be the ones setting the standard for which other teams should strive to.

With that, I present the Emerald Economic Community.

Emerald Economic Community

Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity.

 

 

 

Preamble 

We, the united alliances of the green sphere, hereby come together in order to forge an inclusive community that seeks to benefit all members of our sphere. We seek to establish a team that welcomes and respects alliances of all sizes and ages. We hope that this document will help us better pursue that vision.

 

Article I - Senators
To safeguard the Green Senate and keep any alliance from achieving hegemony, the signatory alliances agree to have no more than two (2) Green Team Senators at any one time. Alliances agree to instruct the people they put forward as Senators to vote according to the articles of this Agreement.

Article II - Proposals
In the spirit of cooperation within the Green Team, all senate proposals are to be discussed amongst signatory alliances to try and reach the optimum outcome for all signatory alliances. Every member of this Agreement will be equally represented when it comes to making the decision on that optimum outcome. This discussion will be allotted a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours per proposal. In the case of a repeat proposal, the required discussion time may be waived by majority vote.

Article III - Membership
Any alliance which primarily resides on the Green Team is eligible to join as a member of this Agreement. To officially ratify a new member to the Agreement, a simple majority of current members is required. Any alliance may withdraw from the Agreement at any time, and should there be an impasse beyond reproach, a simple majority vote can remove an alliance from the Agreement.

Article IV - Neutral Parties
Any alliance that meets the above prerequisites may sign this Agreement as a neutral member. They forego the right to vote on motions to remove or approve a member from or to this Agreement apart from themselves. To ensure their neutrality, their senators may abstain via refraining from voting for proposals; this judgement is to be left to the discretion of the neutral member.

Give me your tired, your poor,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Nice, good job green! I wish I was still on the green sphere so I could be a part of something as magnificent as this. Oh wait..... By unity on the green sphere you mean alliances hand picked by VE, not all of the alliances on the green team. My mistake, carry on.

 

Ken you can still join, but just they have to agree to let you in and get brownie points for looking benevolent.

Anyone is welcome to join, and we'd be happy to have them.

This has been in the works for some time. Thanks to everyone that made it possible, and especially to Goldie which took it at heart and which IMO made a very good job at it.

It's also nice to see the GPA signature on another multilateral pact which will help promote mutual understanding and good relations. Diplomacy works.

There's basically no reason for any Green alliance to be excluded, but the treaty had to start at some point. It still can't be considered exclusive, as no Green alliance has been refused admission.

I'll admit that I am not familiar with your alliance, but the more representation of Green, the better. We're all one family.

Seems that you've been out of the loop but Demonic left this planet a while back. It's a real tragedy.

 

Nope, I knew he was gone, I'm just still bitter about it.

 

 

We all still miss that drunken little basterd.

 

Also, YAY GREEN TEAM! 

 

I'll have to drop by your boards soon. It's been far too long.

I'm glad to see this finally happen. Green has been my home for many years now, and I fully support green coming together for the good of the sphere. Thank you to VE for being the driving force behind this. You guys are awesome.

Kind of surprised GPA would limit itself to just two senators when it probably could make a run at 3 at some point in the future.  Especially when VE and allies don't have the same limitations to control the green senate.  GPA being top tier heavy would benefit from proposals better than others and now limits it's ability.  Not really much upside for GPA imo.

That being said they would never try to make a run at 3 anyway and the tension it would create would outweigh the potential benefits of trying for 3 senators.  I just don't see how this benefits the GPA.

 

But it's a color treaty so who cares.

Well the treaty was made to help stop top tier AA's from taking control and hindering the game for the low/middle tier players. So, yeah, Hegemony is bad yo.
