Jarl Matt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The Supreme Gentlemen Statement of Rights and Responsibilities Article I - Preamble The purpose of this document is to provide a written statement declaring the state of government of the Supreme Gentlemen, hereby known as TSG, and to express the rights and responsibilities granted by our great Alliance. It shall make known the laws by which we, and all others under our protection and guidance, should abide by to ensure the principles of the alliance may be embraced by all nations. TSG stands to uphold this doctrine and the laws we set down to promote the safe expansion and growth of all nations under its vast cloak, including those of our allies, extending, but not limited, to financial, military and diplomatic aid. TSG will uphold the right of all nations to govern as they please as long as they are within the remits of the Alliance Law. Article II - Membership II.A - Requirements TSG do not require a formal set of skills to be applicable to join, stating simply that only true gentlemen may join, and may do so of their own volition. We recommend all joining nation-states have the national colour of black to ensure the maximal economic growth. II.B - Applications All applications are to be handled by the Gentleman of Recruitment, with aid from the Supreme Gentleman and other Gentlemen of Office should the need arise. II.C - Expulsions Expulsions from TSG will only occur in very rare occasions where the Nation member in question has proven to be of a most dastardly sort and has resorted to acts of dishonor towards fellow Gentleman or to those allied with TSG. These inglorious acts include but are not limited to the following: Declarations of War against fellow gentlemen or allies. Unreasonable declarations of war. (Such as declarations against alliances with which TSG have NAP’s or treaties. Espionage on behalf of rival alliances.

Our dapper gentleman leader has not got any specific duties as such, but may take on the role of another position in office, or aid other GOO's in their field as he can interact with all aspects of the Alliance. This is the only position that is not up for regular election. The only time and election for this position will take place would be if the current Supreme Gentleman were to step down from his position.

III.C - Elections Elections for positions of Office are held every month allowing for the voice of the member states to make an impact on the running of government. The process is run as follows; 1 week prior to the end of the month an announcement is to be released asking for candidates for the forthcoming election. 2 days prior to the end of the month any candidate who put themselves forward for a position in office is voted upon by all member states should they wish to attend the election. This allows a 48 hour voting period. On the 1st of the month the results are given and the elected winners take on their roles as Gentlemen of Office. Should there be no new candidate for a position to current Gentleman of Office continues in their position until the next election. The only office not applicable for election is that of the Supreme Gentleman.

Article IV - Military The member states of TSG reserve all rights to retain a standing army with no restrictions of size or composition. In the event of being attacked the incident must be reported immediately and the full force of TSG military might is authorised unless stated otherwise by the Supreme Gentleman, the Gentleman Commander or the Gentleman of the Exterior.

George W. Bush Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yaaaaay Quote You're no longer protecting the II? We have still teamed with II and TAC (and others) to rival The Covenants. This is getting complex. #FA_Problems Big problems for TSG. Really, not kidding. If Casey and Cyradis are King and Queen does that mean they're married?

Hereno Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Members states are allowed to commence wars on who they see fit as long as there are no standing treaties or NAP’s in place. It is also recommended that guidance be sought prior to starting wars against powerful alliances. This here is going to get you in a lot of trouble.

Donald Sterling Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This here is going to get you in a lot of trouble. If you read closely you would have seen it said "guidance be sought" and there is a motto that I commonly use and that is if you need to ask than the answer is no. Also you noticing that means you read the whole the thing. Why? I didn't even do that. Jesus man what do you do in your spare time.

Also you noticing that means you read the whole the thing. Why? I didn't even do that. Jesus man what do you do in your spare time. I just skimmed over it and wanted to point it out. Why did I want to point it out? Because I genuinely don't think it's a policy that will benefit you in the long-term. Why do I think that? Because people are !@#$s and no doubt there will be some jerk-off member of your alliance, if not now in the future, who will try to use that against you when you tell them to stop raiding people who can kick your !@#$. It's just something I've experienced in the past and on other planets. That's why we still don't have a charter, and when we do, it will be pretty bare-bones. I'm a big fan flexibility in alliance policy to do what needs to be done. Edited August 31, 2014 by Hereno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
