Alataq Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Irrelevant Announcement Incoming A TLF Announcement Us here in TLF are proud to announce some new changes to the alliance. First off, TLF is now protected by Arrgh. We have been friends with Arrgh for some time now, and we are very happy to have a protection contract with Arrgh. We would also like to officially invite every alliance diplomat to come visit our new forums. If you have any negative feelings towards us, or any questions... this would be a good place to ask/discuss with our members/government. The webpage is http://tlf.enjin.com/. We hope to see some of you over there New Charter Below The Light Federation Charter Article I, Principles The Light Federation (hereby known as TLF) is an alliance founded upon the principles of safety, and involvement. To maintain those principles we ask every member to show respect for all nations in The Light Federation. These principles may also be extended to friendly and/or allied alliances. The Light Federation is a peaceful alliance but will defend its sovereignty until it can fight no more. Article II, Raiding Members of The Light Federation are not allowed to raid any member of an alliance with over 5 members. Members of TLF can also not raid members of an alliance with open diplomacy with The Light Federation; the raider will be warned to stop, and if they continue attacks then the raider will be expelled from The Light Federation. In the event that the raid proves disastrous, all nations are responsible for their own actions Article III, Forums The Light Federation will have forums located at http://tlf.enjin.com/forum TLF will always welcome diplomats to apply on the forums Article IV, Government Triumvirate The Triumvirate of TLF is to be the central leading figure in the alliance. As a result, the success or failure of the alliance falls upon these 3 people’s shoulders. As the face of the alliance, they are to lead with care, honesty and trust. Each Triumvir runs a department and can appoint a Regents/Beneficiaries for those said departments. Triumvir of MA Triumvir of IA Triumvir of FA There does not have to be 3 Triumvirs at all time. If a Triumvir leaves, and the Triumvirs that are left agree that nobody can fill that slot, it will be left vacant. The Triumvir can dissolve established treaties ONLY if agreed upon by the head Triumvir as well as with mutual support from the other two Triumvirs. The Triumvirate has the right to declare war after at least a 48 hour discussion with the Beneficiaries. The head Triumvir gets the final vote and can decide whether something happens or not. This head Triumvir is decided on by the Triumvirate. The Regents The Regents exist to assist and help oversee departments/Beneficiaries that the Triumvirate are either too busy to deal with, or it’s not the most important thing going on in the alliance at that time. All duties carried out by the Triumvir will be carried out by the Regent under his or her control if given certain and special permission. Each Triumvir may pick his or her Regent. The Regent positions are as follows: Regent of FA Regent of IA Regent of MA The Regent is the Triumvirate Assistant and Advisor, and every Executive action the Triumvirate takes will be checked with the Regents before taken into act. The Triumvirate can still go through with whatever executive action even if the Regents disagree. There is no set amount of Regents. The max amount of Regents is 3 (one for each Triumvir) and the least amount of Regents allowed is 1. Beneficiaries The Beneficiaries of the alliance act as ministers to carry out the administrative duty of the alliance. Beneficiaries are appointed by the Triumvir or by the Regents if given permission. Beneficiaries must manage the following divisions of the alliance administration: Beneficiary of FA Beneficiary of IA Beneficiary of MA The purpose and duties of the Beneficiaries are to be adaptable to changing circumstances and to be established by cooperative agreement between the Triumvir and the other Beneficiaries. Beneficiaries may also post announcements only if given permission by their Regent and their Triumvir. A Beneficiary may be removed by their Regent or Triumvir that oversees them at any time if they are not doing their job. There is no set amount of beneficiaries allowed. The range of beneficiaries allowed is the lowest of 1 person and the max of 5 people. Article V: Amendment Modifying/Adding The TLF Charter can be Changed/Amended with a majority vote of the government (Triumvirs, Regents, Beneficiaries). An amendment vote can be requested by the Triumvirate, any Regent, Beneficiary, or by a Representative New Government (Yes Yosodog, we're still using this flag <3) Triumvir of FA (Head Triumvir) - MrBooty Triumvir of IA - Alataq Triumvir of MA - Lysandre Mackintosh Regent of IA - Char Aznebelle Regent of MA - Erin Beneficiary of FA - Baker Harrington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayayay Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Why put your forums in the charter itself? Seems pretty unnecessary and stupid.

In the event that the raid proves disastrous, all nations are responsible for their own actions TLDR: you want to raid smaller AAs while being protected from larger AAs. Nothing hypocritical there (don't raid us pls, but let us raid you if you're smaller). Nothing at all. Also do you still allow for raiding of AAs with less than six members, but larger protectorates? Unlikely I believe. Also you claim to be peaceful, but you raid entire AAs (smaller than six members)? Please you're only looking to get rich off the backs of smaller nations and AAs while being under protection by Arrrgh! from larger ones. Triumvirate The Triumvirate of TLF is to be the central leading figure in the alliance. As a result, the success or failure of the alliance falls upon these 3 people’s shoulders. As the face of the alliance, they are to lead with care, honesty and trust. Each Triumvir runs a department and can appoint a Regents/Beneficiaries for those said departments.

The Triumvir can dissolve established treaties ONLY if agreed upon by the head Triumvir as well as with mutual support from the other two Triumvirs. The Triumvirate has the right to declare war after at least a 48 hour discussion with the Beneficiaries. The head Triumvir gets the final vote and can decide whether something happens or not. This head Triumvir is decided on by the Triumvirate. So a triumvir is chosen by the other two triumvirs. Sounds pretty circle jerk and potentially homogeneous (depending on the attitudes of the triumvirs). How is the head triumvir chosen precisely? I get that a vote is involved, but what if there is a lack of agreement within the triumvirs? What if there are differing attitudes with the triumvirs is what I am asking. How would you remove a triumvir if there was an issue of competency exactly; just the head triumvir decides all by his lonesome? I see no potential issues there.

Alataq Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 -snip- Did I really hit a nerve with an update post like this? We don't raid people with protectors or above 5 members. That's a very tight raiding policy. See other alliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteCanada Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Did I really hit a nerve with an update post like this? Solid response. Elaborate, eloquent and well thought out. 10/10 all worries and criticisms removed (not that anyone really cares about my lowly opinion(s) ). o/ We don't raid people with protectors or above 5 members. That's a very tight raiding policy. See other alliances. What I'm saying is why not have it as part of the Charter so none of your own members make a mistake through accidental ignorance, Edited March 29, 2016 by EliteCanada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also TLF does not intentionally raid members of an alliance over 5 people. And if it happens, with our new updated government, it will be taken care of.
