  2. TheZoo opens its doors to the very first visitors!

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    Posted

    I would like to deny allegations against Olympus of stealing particular animals from the Zoo, these wonderful woolly critters have always been here, and the only additions are those that freely migrate over our boarders.

    In other news, I can see in a recent reconnaissance mission into the Zoo, I can confirm that the Dolphins are in fact from Miami, so they are in fact #1

    Whats more, the tuna served in our visitors cafe is certified Dolphin friendly!

  3. Come and Visit us at theZoo

    in Player Created Alliances

    Everyone needs to spend some time just laughing at the animals while poking their fingers into the cage in the hope they wont get bitten off, and now is your chance for exactly that.

    theZoo is a new alliance on planet bob residing on the purple sphere and are always looking for new members to join our team of staff looking after the animals.

    46311379.png

    Alliance Charter:

    TheZoo sets out upon Planet Bob to bring together a place for people to come and have fun while enjoying a trip around various animal enclosures. We look to live peacefully with our neighbours but bond together in times of conflict and show we are ready to fight eagerly. TheZoo wishes to offer its members stability and protection, encouragement and growth and a place to while away the hours with ice cream in the shape of penguins.

    1) Chain of Command

    A Board of Three Directors each charged with specific areas of daily alliance management controls TheZoo. The Board of Directors both works with and answers to the Chairman. The Board of Directors will be elected by the membership every three months.

    The Chairman will have overall say on all matters relating to TheZoo. The Board of Directors is there to help with the management of both the alliance and its member nations. The Chairman is a permanent position, which at first will be filled by the alliance founder. The Chairman has the power to both create and remove positions within the Board of Directors to help best maintain the alliance. In times of absence, the Director of Strategy will fulfil the duties of Chairman.

    The Board of Directors will consist of the following:

    a: Director of Strategy. The Director of Strategy will work to ensure that TheZoo’s military is always prepared and ready for any eventuality.

    b: Director of Finance. The Director of Finance will work to ensure the financial betterment of the alliance and its member nations, both during peace and during times of conflict.

    c: Director of Marketing. The Director of Marketing will act as TheZoo’s PR guru and establish diplomatic relations around planet bob in the name of TheZoo.

    The Board of Directors will appoint a Head of Human Resources. The Head of Human Resources will have no executive powers within the alliance. He will oversee recruitment and membership applications. The Head will also conduct all elections to the procedures set out in Section 4.

    2) Membership

    a: TheZoo accepts members of good standing that are currently engaged in no wars and are not on the wanted lists of foreign alliances.

    b: TheZoo does not allow dual membership of alliances.

    c: Applicants to TheZoo must correctly fill out an application, providing all details requested and will be bound by the charter. Violations of the charter will result in punishment up to and including dismissal from TheZoo

    d: Nations applying for membership shall spend seven days as an applicant. During this time, the Head of Human Resources will send the applicant a questionnaire; on completion of the questionnaire, the Board of Directors and Head of Human Resources will discuss the application, where only a unanimous no vote will deny an application. The Chairman reserves the right to deny any application as he sees fit.

    d: The Chairman can dismiss members of TheZoo from the alliance after a majority vote among the Board of Directors to support the action.

    3) War

    a: TheZoo is a somewhat peaceful alliance and wishes not to cause waves upon planet bob. However, it believes that tech raiding is a vital part of both growth and experience. As such, TheZoo allows tech raiding only upon unaligned nations and only after approval from the Director of Strategy or the Chairman.

    b: TheZoo encourages the development of nuclear armament for the purposes of defence only. TheZoo does not subscribe to any first strike policy. Any nuclear warfare must first be authorised by either the Director of Strategy or the Chairman.

    c: Any attack on a member nation of TheZoo will be deemed an attack on the entire alliance. This will result in, where possible, a declaration of war upon the attacking nation whilst diplomatic solutions are sought.

    4) Elections

    a: The Head of Human Resources shall oversee Elections.

    b: Elections shall be conducted over a five-day period beginning the first of the election month. The Head of Human Resources will inform the alliance membership of the elections a minimum of one week before the elections are due to begin. They will also arrange for the alliance membership to be informed of the beginning of the elections. The elections shall be run as follows:

    Day 1: The Head of Human Resources shall post a list of all members expressing the desire to run. On this day, all candidates are to post their election platforms. Anyone not doing so shall be deemed to have forfeited his or her place in the elections.

    Day 2: Debates begin. The Head of Human Resources shall open a debate thread for each position. In here members of the alliance have a full 24 hours to post any and all questions they wish to pose to the candidates.

    Day 3: This 24-hour period will be used by the candidates to respond to all questions posed to them during Day 2. Any new questions will be removed.

    Days 4 & 5: The Head of Human Resources will create a poll thread for each position, listing all remaining candidates.

    c: Candidates with the majority share of votes cast will be elected.

    5) Amendments

    a: All amendments to the charter must be submitted to the Board of Directors for discussion. Any amendment gaining majority approval from the Board of Directors will go to a public vote.

    b: When an amendment goes to the public vote, it must gain a 75%+1 approval of votes cast to pass.

    c: The Chairman may veto any amendment submitted before going to public vote.

    6) Succession

    a: When a Chairman decides that it is time to step down and pass on the running of the alliance, he will do so by appointing a successor. A shortlist of successors shall be compiled by the Board of Directors from which the Chairman will select the next leader of TheZoo.

    b: Every 12 months the position of Chairman shall come under review of the Board of Directors. They must give a majority approval for the Chairman to continue in his position. If the Board of Directors cannot give approval, then the decision shall go to a membership vote. To stay in office the Chairman must gain a 50%+1 majority of votes cast to stay in office. The Head of Human Resources shall conduct a 48-hour poll for this matter.

    c: In the circumstances that a Chairman is voted out by the alliance membership, a new Chairman shall be elected from the Board of Directors currently in office. The Head of Human Resources shall conduct a full election process in this circumstance.

    d: The out-going Chairman may not run for any position on the board for one full election cycle after leaving office.

    46311379.png44755711.jpg

    The "Vikings go to the Petting Zoo?" Protectorate

    Preamble

    In the interest of friendship, protection, and guidance VÅLHÅLLÅ is extending its hand to theZoo and both agree to the following protectorate agreement. Both parties shall honour and help each other grow.

    Article I: Sovereignty

    VÅLHÅLLÅ will not diminish or infringe upon the sovereignty of theZoo. VÅLHÅLLÅ and theZOO recognize each other as sovereign and separate alliances.

    Article II: Peace and Respect

    VÅLHÅLLÅ and theZoo will coexist in a state of peace. Neither alliance will attack the other militarily or verbally. Both alliances will remain respectful towards each other at all times and any differences will be handled via private discussion.

    Article III: Protection and Defense

    An attack on theZoo will be considered an attack on VÅLHÅLLÅ, and will be met with all available strength in defense. If the attack is found to be provoked by theZoo through political faux-pas, insults, flaming, trolling, spying or just general asshattery etc, VÅLHÅLLÅ although still reserving the right to defend theZoo is under no obligation to. Should VÅLHÅLLÅ find itself engaged in war, theZoo has the right, but not the obligation, to assist in any way possible, including but not limited to financial and military support.

    Article IV: Aggression and Treaty Signing

    TheZoo agrees to alert VÅLHÅLLÅ if they have decided to go on the offensive towards another alliance at least 48 hours before doing so. theZoo will never declare war on another alliance without first discussing it with VÅLHÅLLÅ leadership. theZoo will inform VÅLHÅLLÅ in a timely fashion about any discussions ongoing between them and a third alliance concerning any treaty. Should VÅLHÅLLÅ feel a great risk for their own security due to the potential treaty, they can terminate the protectorate. Any failure to communicate can also be used as ground to terminate this protectorate.

    Article V: Cancellation

    Both parties agree to give each other 48 hour notice before canceling this treaty, during which all articles will be upheld.

    Any acts of asshattery can result in this treaty to be canceled immediately upon notification.

    Article VI: Timeline

    Upon the growth of the friendship of the two alliances, this treaty is enacted for 30 days after which time it shall be reviewed. If upon review both parties wish to continue this agreement it shall come up for review every 60 days or until one of the signatories decides to cancel this pact. Meanwhile, a possible upgrade can be done at any given period of time. Should either party decide it is not in their interests to retain this treaty, it may at any time by canceled as per Article V and VI. Violations of this agreement are grounds for dissolution of this agreement without prior notice.

    Its been an absolute blast fighting this war against people that can fight back, props to all those i fought (Except Sqrt,, who wouldnt accept my bet when he was SO confident :P)

    We came because of our honour and we stayed (for a while at least) for the casualties and pixels slaughter.

    No matter what your stance on the terms we got, its been fun. Valhalla and the alliances fighting us all exit this with a mutual respect for each other.

    Raydin and James.. shut up already <_< your acting like utter idiots

    I didn't even mention me. There's a difference between the words "we" and "me" or "Nemesis". We refers to the entire group of alliances that gave BAPS peace.

    And Small Man complex, also known as the Napoleon Complex.

    Now I don't know much about psychology, as I am not a psychologist, however I would say the person who feels the need to attempt to instigate trouble when his allies have been given good and honorable terms is the one who has anger issues. And being that you are a member of Valhalla, short temper and power trips obviously apply.

    Continue your paranoid thoughts and pathetic attempts to insult me, its rather entertaining.

    you've been drinking the wrong cooler..

    Valhalla is all fluffy bunnies, knitting and helping sick puppies
