Britishdude Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 [center][img]http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2154/smurf3.png[/img][/center] I'm proud to announce the birth of a great, new alliance: The Smurf Village. Link to forums: http://s1.zetaboards.com/The_Smurf_Village/index/ IRC Channel/Server: #TBS on coldfront Our Charter: [quote]Section 1. Preamble: The Smurf Village is a union of CyberNations rulers dedicated to the values of community, activity, cooperation, respect, growth, excellence, and honesty. We are not just an alliance, but every one of us is part of the Village. Each of us will strive to uphold these values in our daily interactions with fellow Villagers as well as with all CyberNations players no matter their alliance affiliation. Each of us is obligated by our charter to uphold these core values and to strive for the protection and good of our community in all we do. Section 2. Membership: Nations are welcome to join our community. By applying, you are pledging to be active in the community and to uphold our values and laws. Applicants may not be engaged in any active wars at the time of their application and we cannot admit anyone who appears on another alliance’s ZI list. If a nation is accepted and we learn later that they are targeted by another alliance, they will be asked to change their AA immediately. The Smurf Village has the following levels of membership: Baby Smurf: This is our time to get to know a little about new applicants. Baby Smurfs haven’t been approved for access to The Village yet, but are protected under our alliance banner. Once approved they move on to The Smurf Academy. Academy Smurf: This is the time for new members to learn about us. Academy Smurfs are approved applicants and will have the least amount of forum access. This is a time of training about The Smurf Village and about the game and a time for the Academy Smurfs to prove themselves as active Villagers. Member Smurf: This is the next level of membership. Member Smurfs engage in community discussions and programs and help to guide new Baby and Academy Smurfs. Member Smurfs are encouraged to work in various governmental offices and on official events. Assistant Smurf: These are Villagers who have proven they are active, valuable members of the community and are ready to step into a leadership role in the alliance. Assistant Smurfs work on nation growth, guiding newer members, becoming military commanders in times of alliance wars, and monitoring and advising the alliance leadership. Government Smurf: The Government Smurfs are comprised of four elected Smurfs and the Papa Smurf. The Elected Smurfs manage their separate ministries and act as advisers to the Papa Smurf. Section 3. Government: Assistant Smurfs: Assistant Smurfs are Assistant Ministers. Any Member Smurf, Assistant Smurf, or Government Smurf is allowed to be an Assistant Smurf. Assistant Smurfs will have different duties and responsibilities depending on the job to which they are appointed. An Assistant Smurf may act as a Government Smurf during the announced absence of a Government Smurf if approved by the remaining Government Smurfs. Government Smurfs: The Greedy Smurf, Nosy Smurf, Harmony Smurf and Hefty Smurf are the elected leadership tasked with specific duties in the alliance. Any Member Smurf, Assistant Smurf, or Government Smurf are eligible to hold these positions. Government Smurfs will be appointed until the alliance reaches a size of thirty Villagers. At that time the Government Smurfs will be elected by Member Smurfs every three months. Papa Smurf: The Papa Smurf makes executive decisions for The Smurf Village and shall have absolute power until the Village reaches thirty Villagers. After this the Papa Smurf will also become an elected official and shall share power with the Government Smurfs. Once the Village reaches thirty members the charter will be edited to reflect these changes. Minimum Government Smurf structure: * Nosy Smurf has oversight on all external matters including determining the alliances we need to treaty and presenting any Foreign Affairs issues to the Papa Smurf. * Harmony Smurf is responsible for management of member tracking, forum maintenance including controlling additional forum perks, and special projects and events determined by the Papa Smurf. * Hefty Smurf manages our military arm, organizes readiness drills and monitors our alliance defense systems. * Greedy Smurf manages all alliance aid and tech deals and assists nations in securing emergency trade agreements Note that there is not a Government Smurf in charge of recruitment, of training or of trades. Those functions belong to every member of the alliance. Papa Smurf responsibilities: * Sign treaties on behalf of the alliance. * Declare war, peace or surrender on behalf of the alliance. * Negotiate peace terms on behalf of the alliance. * Create announcements on the public CN boards on behalf of the alliance. * Give governmental orders to banking nations. Government Smurf Responsibilities: * Act as the High Court in cases of violations of the member’s code of conduct. * Restrict specific public areas from posting or restrict specific Villagers from posting in public areas. * Give governmental orders during times of war if deemed appropriate for the alliance. * Authorize or order nuclear strikes in offensive wars. * Adjust the number of Government Smurfs based on alliance needs, but never reducing the size to less than four Government Smurfs. 4. Amendment procedures: * Amendments must be presented, and seconded by a member in good standing. * Seconded amendments will be discussed and debated for 72 hours. * Ratification vote will be open to all Member Smurfs, Assistant Smurfs, and Government Smurfs and to pass must be approved by 75% of the voting membership.
