  10. Declaration of Existance from the Black Order Of Knights

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    Posted · Edited by Pharaoh Bradshaw

    Book_Flag!.JPG

    Greetings to the population of Planet Bob, I am Pharaoh Bradshaw and this is the official declaration of existence of the alliance henceforth known as the Black Order Of Knights (BOOK) of which I am the Marquis of Foreign Affairs, we are a small alliance dedicated to the personal growth of our members both as nations and people. I would like to thank The Templar Knights for their 30 day trial protectorate, and to those other alliances that I have been in talks with.

    Preamble-

    We the nations of Black-Order-Of-Knights mutually agree to aid and defend one another in times of peace and war. Our mission is to grow and prosper as individuals and alliance with a sense of respect to other nations and alliances within CN, and be loyal to one and other and to any allies that we have. We look to help anyone who joins us in growing and prospering. We work together to insure that all nations feel welcome and secure. We will work towards being a safe haven for nations that are looking for a solid alliance that they can depend on in times of need.

    Article I

    Membership

    There shall be two classes of membership, the full Knights who are full members, and the Squires who are prospective members.

    Knights have full voting rights in elections and may make proposals to change policies and rules. Squires as new members do not have the power to propose new policies and rules, and do not have the right to vote with the exception of certain issues which would affect them directly.

    In order to become a member you must fill out a membership application in the Entrance Hall, you will then need to be accepted by one of our officials. Once accepted the new member shall be classed as a Squire and shall be assigned to an existing member, the existing member shall guide their Squire through the rules, etiquettes, factions and other parts of life within the Black Orders of Knights and Cyber Nations itself. At any time the Squire may take a test to become a full knight, once they pass this test they shall be classed as fully fledged knights.

    Any Knight or Squire is free to leave the alliance by posting in the resignation thread as long as they have not accepted aid, if so they may be required to pay part or all of the aid back as decided by an official from the treasury department.

    Article III

    Government

    Black-Order-Of-Knights is a Dictatorship alliance ruled over by The Dark Ones. The Dark-Ones are in a position for life, though The Dark-Ones can give up the position freely and will appoint a successor if they choose to do so. All Upper Council positions will be assigned by vote or, failing a successful vote, they will be assigned by The Dark-Ones from the list of candidates. The Upper council members have authority over their departments but will never make lone decisions on war.

    The Dark-Ones - The leaders of the alliance have supreme powers in ALL alliance affairs but will seek advice of Upper Council members on most matters arising due to the Upper Council member’s specialization.

    Marquis of Foreign Affairs (MoFA)- Will deal with all foreign matters including assigning diplomats to other alliances, accepting foreign diplomat’s applications, setting embassies for foreign diplomats, trying to ensure peace in situations where war is threatened and writing treaties that will be signed by the Dark-ones and his Upper Council if acceptable by all parties involved.

    Marquis of Internal Affairs (MoIA)- Is in charge of internal matters such as: membership, recruiting, forum moderators and internal communications. But will not over see applications from foreign diplomats.

    Marquis of Defence (MoD) – being the head of our military He/She has authority over military matters including: authorizing individual wars on single unaligned nations (but not aligned until speaking with MoFA and not alliance wide conflicts), and organizing Divisions, Companies, and Platoons, as well as anything else deemed proper for the MoD to control.

    Marquis of the Treasury (MoT) – Is in charge of all banking, aid, and economic matters.

    Ensuring any aid packages/chains are done in good order. Also will decide any amount to be paid back by a member wishing to leave who has received aid.

    All Marquis may appoint Lords who will be their deputies, they may also appoint Knights to certain positions under them (for example diplomats, bankers etc)

    Article IV

    War

    Black-Order-Of-Knights is not an aggressive alliance, but will attack if required to do so by a treaty being activated or in the case of an act of war being committed against them.

    Nukes- no first strike will be made by the Black-Order-Of-Knights. Nuclear Rogues are viewed as traitors and will be disowned by this alliance and not protected under any condition by us.

    Tech raiding is NOT permitted; we will NOT protect tech raiders.

    Out of Game Spying is not allowed, and any members caught doing so will be ejected from the alliance and no protection shall be given to them, if the alliance they spied on doesn’t wish to attack them Black-Order-Of-Knights reserves the right to ZI them. Also if a foreign alliance is caught spying on Black-Order-Of-Knights it shall be viewed as a direct act of war and unless the alliance deems the act unlawful and ejects their member for ZI by Black-Order-Of-Knights. Aggressive action or threats made by other alliances or individual nations will be deemed acts of war.

    Article V

    Banking/aid

    All nations are asked to give (if they are lager nations and have ample income) to others in Black-Order-Of-Knights for the advancement of the alliance, however it will be up to the Marquis Of The Treasury to set up: Aid Chains, Banker Nations, Trade Circles, and Tech Deals. As mentioned in Article I, if you wish you resign from the alliance you may be required to pay part or all of the aid back as decided by an official from the treasury department.

    Article VI

    Elections

    Elections shall occur every three months for every position other than The Dark Ones. In the case of an empty office, elections will be held no less than two weeks after, and while the position is empty the The Dark Ones will be in charge of said position. An elected official may be removed from office for breaking the law of this Charter, or being inactive for 2 weeks without giving prior warning. The impeachment process consists with a majority vote of The Dark-Ones and the elected officials. In the event of a tie, the breaker will be a vote by the people of the Black-Order-Of-Knights, but only after all relevant information is given to the people

    Article VII

    Amendments

    Amendments to this Charter will be subject to consideration if enough members should agree upon the proposal of said amendment. Then it shall be set to vote by the Upper Council, but final say will rest in the hands of The Dark-Ones. If said amendment is gone through previously mentioned process then it shall be applied to the Charter as soon as possible and enacted immediately upon insertion.

    Article VIII

    Government

    Government officials have a place of honour at Black-Order-Of-Knights. Government officials make everything work smoothly and they are role models for new players. Being so it is up to the elected government officials to portray the alliance in its best light and to guide members to be the best they can be, both in Cyber Nations and real life. That said being a government official is a privilege and if you abuse your power you shall be removed from office, and possibly the alliance.

  14. Alliance War Resignations/Surrenders

    in World Affairs (IC)

    Posted

    I am hereby surrendering to UPN as a POW, not as an act of self-preservation, but as an example to other Illuminati members.

    I have been a loyal member of The Illuminati since the 27th of February 2007, and have served in the foreign affairs department. I recently took a period of out time, due to several RL issues and stuff. I regret this as if I’d been around I could have helped prevent this war. As it stands I feel partially responsible and incredibly guilty. I cannot apologise enough as due to my absence I let my brothers down.

    For now I intend to surrender and encourage others to as well, as I know we, as an alliance cannot survive for in our current state.

    I'm disappointed in GPA for this aledged abuse of their surrendered comrades. We in the Illuminati are in a similar situation, we are fighting a war we cannot hope to win, and many of our members are surrendering. We have let them, and recently encouraged them to. They would stand no chance if they fought on, and to be honest neither do current GPA members...

    They are responsible for the alliance though. And the 300 members are responsible for them. If they do crap they should get kicked out.

    It is a way too late now.

    Those 300 members are only responsible if they know whats going on, and as the thread that sparked this war was in a private government forum they didn't have a clue..

    Also the surprising number of people who seem to suggest a coup would have been the best idea, this confuses me as in nearly all cases coups are looked down upon and should the evidence not have got out everyone would have claimed that the coup was immoral...

    With out being too harsh your Illuminati's MOFA?

    Yes, I'm also diplomat to IRON... although that said most of my dealings with you have been through DM.

    I will (as suggested) make it clear to those still fighting that surrender may be the best option. But will not make it an order as many would resent it, and I feel it is best left up to personal choice.

    Thanks to Caesar and Dukerrules I remember you both and held yopu both in high esteem when you were alliance members.

    To Gen. Lee, having not seen or heard the surrender terms I apologise for assuming they'd be hasrh, but in my experience surrender terms force the looser to leave their alliance, destroy certyain amounts of millitiary which could effect their economy if organised badly etc etc... No offence meant to these, it was a comment about the general surrender terms set in most alliance wars.

    I appreciate all those who have posted applauding my honour... and hair.

    I also wish to let it be lnown that I won't leave my alliance, unless it is officially disbanded, I want to ensure the safety of those who haven't a clue what's going on and are fighting for survival.

    Also the offers of individual surrender aren't given to all, I myself haven't been given surrender terms (fair enough I'm gov.) and I'm pretty sure some other alliance members haven't be given offers.

    For those out there who hate our guts remember that it was the mistake of a few, not the alliance as a whole. We all have close bonds as an alliance and therefore will not nesecarily give in as we (I speak for many here) would feel that we failed our friends.

    Quoted for truth. They could surrender and be let off the hook. If they want to stay and fight it out, they're fighting in defense of what Terry stands for, and anyone that supports that guy's gotta go. Of course the lower nations are probably ignorant of your folks' plotting and planning, have them surrender, and they'll be fine. But again fighting in defense of his ideals tarnishes them, and makes them guilty by association.

    They're not nesecarily fighting for terry's ideals, their fighting for the alliance itself. For it's long history and deep seated ideals of honour, unity and trustworthiness.

    While I'm sure terry follows all of these, the lower members aren't fighting for his statements, they're fighting for the alliances survival.

    You almost lost me there.

    I'm not widely known, but I've been a MoFA for a few months (semi retired now)

    You really lost me there. Seemed like your entire Grand and Lower Council was in on it. Or didn't do anything substantial to prevent it. Guilty by association.

    Having not been there while all this was happening, and due to the fact that the evidence is impossible to find I wouldn't know exactly what was said and by whom. But by a few members i meant the GC and LGC, they are a minority in an alliance of about 300

    That is what Individual Surrenders are for. Thats exactly what individual surrenders are for.

    I know, but as a member of The Illuminati I know many of our nations won't consider surrender an option, and as such need mercy rather than harsh surrender terms.

    I'm also trying to point out that the majority of the illuminati aren't bad guys as we're being made out to be.
