Mr Rosenberger Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Planet Bob, I am coming to you to share a few of New Era's Announcements that we have been stock piling for a little bit now. I also want to take this time, on behalf of New Era to thank all of our supporters out there, from your single comment on New Era, to any conversation we have had together. Thank You Very Much. Now, on to the announcements - - - Protection Words: As most of you know The Order of Light is the sole protector of New Era, we would like to thank them, again for their participation with us, and signing the protectorate treaty at the beginning of New Era's adventure. So far, with out doubt, TOOL has lived up to their word and has been very active with New Era and its members. Thank You o/ TOOL New Era's Path: Most like everything in life, there is always a struggle. New Era isn't any exception. We have had our bumps in our path, some bigger than others, but we are still traveling through trying as best as we can to keep or heads up, and thrive in the Cyberverse. To show you some of our struggles, I have outlined a few below. -Newbie nations attacking nations on color spheres that are off limits -Newbie, un-allied nations attacking Newbie, New Era nations -A close friend of mine, stabbing me in the back an making New Era look like a fool -Dealing with the common disease of Inactivity We have learned from many of these problems, such as screening new applicants so no other problems will surface, making strict rules on Tech Raiding, and attacks, and developing ways to increase activity without straining out members. Because we have had a few of these "problems" we were forced to revise, clean and change a few things in New Era's Charter. New Era's Revised Charter:(Revisions in Red) Article 1: Membership:1. Must not be on any type of current ZI lists. New Era Gov will do checks on nations. 2. Must have no current wars. Tech raids are accepted unless they are on a Red or White nation. 3. Must correctly fill out an application located in the application center 4. Alliance Affiliation must be set to "New Era Applicant" Article 2: New Era Training Program 1. Must successfully complete the New Era Training Program. -In order to successfully complete the New Era training program you must complete 3 Training Phases. 2. Nations that are experienced in CN will only be required to complete Phase III Test. -Only Gov members will decide the experience level of the member. 6. After Completion of the Training Program Alliance Affiliation must be set to "New Era" Article 3: Resigning from New Era 1. Any member of New Era has the choice to leave at any time they choose. 2. That member must post a resignation post in the correct area on the forums. 3. The resigning member will be expected to pay a double debt back to New Era upon leaving. -New Era Gov will contact that member and talk about the debt old back to New Era. Article 5: Expulsion from New Era 1. Any member of New Era may be expelled at any time with the approval of both Prophets and a vote of 75% of the current New Era government. (Voting will be 48 Hours) 4. Government may also consult the citizens of New Era to decide on the fate of the person being expelled. It will require a 85% citizen vote for the person to be expelled. (Voting will be 48 hours) 3. If a member of New Era attacks another member of the alliance the aggressor will immediately be removed from the alliance and sent to a state of zero infrastructure at the hand of the alliance.(Unless both parties agree to the war) Article 6: Alliance Merging 1. New Era merging into an alliance: In order for the New Era to merge into any Alliance we will require the approval of both prophets, 80% of the New Era government, and 75% of the citizen population.(If one prophet declines it will go to the citizens of New Era for a vote. In order for the merge to pass it will require 85% of the citizens of New Era to want the merge.) Voting will be 72 hours 2. Alliance Merging into New Era: In order for the New Era to accept any alliance willing to merge with us we will require both prophets to accept, 70% of the New Era government and 65% of the citizens of New Era.(If one prophet declines it will go to the citizens of New Era for a vote. In order for the merge to pass it will require 80% of the citizens of New Era to want the merge.) Voting will be 72 hours Article 7: Foreign Policy 1. New Era will take a calm and peaceful approach when dealing with foreign affairs. 2. We are a peaceful alliance but any act of war will be taken as a threat to New Era. We expect every member of New Era to fight in time of war. Article 8: Tech Raiding If a member of New Era is attacked by an aligned nation they will not attack back under any circumstances if they do they are subjected to punishment by the gov. Instead they will contact a gov member and make a post that they have been attacked and let a government member deal with it. Tech Raiding Policy: 1. Members of New Era have the right to attack a unaligned nation that is not on the color sphere of Red or White. 2. Members must seek approval from either a Prophet, the current Director of Defense or Generals. -No one else has the power to approve a Tech Raid. - If a member attacks any nation without the approval of a Prophet, DoD or Generals, they are subjected to expulsion from the alliance. 3. If you are attacked back by the nation you are raiding New Era does not have to defend you. Article 9: Wars 1. New Era will only participate in a war if it is absolutely necessary. 2. New Era will uphold all treaties with loyalty and honor. 3. If an issue leads to a dispute between two different treaties, there will be a New Era government vote on the best route to take. (Voting will be 24 hours) Article 10: Government Prophets: Prophets are the leaders of the alliance. They are responsible for making sure the charter is upheld each and everyday. They are also responsible for directing the alliance in the right direction. They have the final say in everything but can be overruled with a 60% or higher vote of the citizens of New Era. There term is life or until they resign. If a prophet happens to resign, the government will nominate a new prophet and he must be voted in by a 50% or higher by the government/senate vote. Generals: Although mainly in position for the Department of Defense, the Generals are Perma-Gov members that help out in all aspects of New Era. Their main priority is to keep the Dept. of Defense in good working condition. Directors: Directors are responsible for directing and guiding there department to greatness. They have the final say in there department but may be overruled if both prophets wish. They can pick up 1 Assistant Directors for there department to help run things more smoothly. There term is life or until they resign. If a Director happens to resign, both prophets must agree on a replacement and must be followed by a 50% or higher vote by the Senate(Prophets will run that department until a replacement is found) If a director is absent for more then 72 hours the prophets have the right to appoint a temporary Director until they get back. DoD- The Director of Defense is in charge of the safety and well being of the alliance. He/She is responsible for finding ghosts and keeping the military organized and always ready in case of war.

Elections will be held monthly. The senate represents the citizens and will always fight for what is the best interest of the citizens of New Era. They serve the citizens of New Era before they serve the government. Prophets and Directors may not run for Senate. Senate Election Process: 48 Hour nominations 72 Hour Debate/Platforms 48 Hour voting Vote Of No Confidence: The New Era members have the option to try and remove any current member of the gov with a VoNC if they feel they are not performing to the best of there ability. A VoNC must be posted in the HQ and voting follow directly. In order to remove a current government member the citizens must vote 80% or higher. (Voting will last 48 hours.) Citizens: Every member of New Era is a citizen. They are the heart of New Era. Every citizen is equally important as the another one. Citizens are expected to represent the alliance and the charter each and everyday they are on CN. New Era Applicants: Applicants are members trying to become Citizens of the alliance and are expected to be treated as a member of the alliance. They do not have all the features as full member. Any attack on a student of New Era will be taken as an attack on New Era as a whole and will be dealt with properly. A student may be removed from the alliance with the approval of a Prophet without any hesitation if they are showing disrespect to the alliance or anyone in it. Article 11: Amendments Any Citizen of New Era may propose an Amendment to the charter. Once a Amendment has been proposed it will be debated for 48 hours. Voting on the proposed amendment will last another 48 hours. In order for an amendment to be passed it will require a 75% or higher vote from the Senate. Signed By: Prophet- Rosen Director of Defense- Uroboros Director of Internal Affairs-Fuhrer - - - New Era's Goals and Plans: With a revised charter, and a New Era lifeline lasting 46 days so far, we had no choice but to set goals and lay down plans that we will follow. Our Goals and plans are based off of our purpose which is development, and growth of each of our nations, and New Era as a whole. Goals: -Reach 100k Alliance Nation Strength by July --We understand the difficulty but setting Goals will give us something to work towards. -Start an Aid Program for our new members --At this point we rely on Tech Deals to aid our members, which has been working fantastically. However, Aiding is a better alternative. So we will be working towards creating Banking Nations by July. -Have 100 Members by July --We would like to have a solid number. Plans: -New Era still plans to uphold our protectorate treaty, and charter 100%. We also plan to accommodate each new member who steps foot into New Era. -New Era is also ready to become more Foreign Affairs active. We have connected with a few alliances through IRC and Embassy's but were ready to move, and meet more people. At this point we have our Embassy Row open to any alliance willing to learn more, and to share a friendship with New Era. - - - Speaking of friendships, I would like to move on to the more important part of this announcement. Friendship can start out by a simple hello, and that is just how this one started. For a while now, Coalition of Blue States and New Era have been in a friendly relationship. We share great conversations on IRC, and in each other's embassy's. For the most part we are the same age, and share a close Alliance Nation Strength. We thought taking this step would further our friendship as a whole, and bind us a bit closer together. New Era Announces Treaty of Amity with the Coalition of Blue States Best Friends for Freaking Ever! (ToA) Preamble: This treaty is signed and agreed upon in good faith, with a foundation of friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect. Both signatory alliances will work together to pursue a better future putting cooperation and diplomacy before aggression. Sovereignty: In the signing of this treaty both alliances remain sovereign. Completely retaining their individuality and political ideology. Non-Aggression: No member nations of either alliance will declare war on, or knowingly aid or help in any manner, an enemy of the other alliance. Nor will any member of either alliance spy or commit espionage against the other. Friendship: All members of the signatory alliances will treat the other as if they were one of it's own. When addressing grievances, all members will use proper respect and seek proper diplomatic channels in resolving the issue. Information If either of the signatories find themselves in possession of any information that might impact the security of the other, they will pass on that information through proper channels. Assistance: The signatories are under no binding agreement to provide military or financial aid to the other alliance; if such aid is needed the requests will be made known via the embassy of each alliance or directly between the alliance leaders. The alliances involved will also work on Trade circles, Tech deals, and growth aid. Each of the alliances will make their trading forum viewable and accessible to the necessary members of government from the other alliances to help coordinate trading circles to the benefit of all parties involved. Withdrawal: It is recommended that all diplomatic options are used to preserve this treaty. However if either alliance wishes to with draw from the treaty they will give 48 hours notice, that will be posted in both Embassies. No act of aggression will take place between the two alliances directly or indirectly till the 48 hours have passed.
