[b]Article 1b: Membership Application[/b] – Membership in the TGO is directly obtained through filling out an application via the TGO website. Any applicant turned away has the ability to appear before a judicial review committee for a citizenship appeal.

A citizen must receive a total of three nominations, exercise the right to accept or decline the nominations and write a platform mandate based on the templates provided. [b]Article 3a: Suspension of Assembly[/b] - The Assembly of Regents can be suspended during times of warfare or when the general citizenship is too low to support a full quorum of four members to the assembly itself (this Article also relates to the beginning days of the alliance). [b]Article 4a: Declaration of Hostilities[/b] – No member of the TGO shall make any declaration of hostilities and/or first strike operations without first consulting the leadership of the TGO. [b]Article 4b: First Strike[/b] – No member of the TGO shall make any declaration of hostilities and/or first strike operations using weapons of mass destruction, nuclear or otherwise without first consulting the leadership of the TGO.

Remember you do NOT act alone, whatever you do can and will affect our standing as an alliance. [b]Article 5: Espionage[/b] – No member of the TGO shall make any declarations for the purpose of spying on another nation without consulting MilCom. If you are guilty of espionage without authorization, you’re guilty of treason and will be subject to immediate expulsion. [b]Article 6: Judicial Review[/b] - Any citizen or traveler may file a request for judicial review of any grievances and/or decisions made that warrant review (e.g. expulsion/banishment, suspension, or violation of conduct policies). The judicial review team is overseen by the combined houses of government, and if a tie vote is present the Prime Minister places the deciding vote. A decision must be a majority, 75% or equivalent votes of those present to vote. The Prime Minister reserves the right to veto any decision which is against the best interest of the alliance. [b]Article 7: Amendments to Articles[/b] – All amendments of the articles of this charter are to go through a thorough discussion; any article to be amended must be voted on and deemed final by 75% or majority vote of those present. [b]Article 8: All Other Matters[/b] – Use common sense, when in doubt ask, and when in turmoil let us help you if we can.[/quote] Please come join us for our official launch August 1st, see you soon!

[/quote] Thats not the point of starting my own alliance, just to merge with the alliance I had just resigned from. Thanks though for the suggestion.

Romulus Ceasar Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 [quote name='der_ko' timestamp='1280238331' post='2391165'] You should merge with TOOL. [/quote] HA! On another note, best of luck. It is usually very hard to start up an alliance in general, more so when you do it on your own. You might should have waited on the DoE until you had at least 5-10 members and/or 150k-300k strength; whichever came first. But, either way, good luck and I hope this works out for you.
