Hurtful Thoughts
03-08-2007, 17:53
After Dephire stepped out (and for some reason had me as 2nd in command, making me ADAN's de facto leader) I decided to 'prune' the ADAN roster, promoted those that were still active to Admin status. Then I noted we needed to recruit some more people, and, what with Dephire gone, we couldn't use/edit his front page to update his roster.
In short, I drop kicked all the freeloaders out of ADAN (but not banned, and they are more than welcome to enlist again).
-------
Changes from ADAN V2.0:
Rules are basicly the same as Version 2, except that every 3 months there shall be a pruning of the roster, and every 6 months, the high council will be up for grabs to the Admins (decided by a general poll)
This was all approved by the active members of ADAN, since they are all admins and have the ower to eject me if I ever step too far out of line.
(Likewise, it's a double edged sword)
The administration, currently due to lack of members, has been 'steamlined' to 3 to 5 people.
Members must be active at the offsite:

I can't stress that enough.
Oh well, as a refresher, Ill repost the charter:
The Aggressive/Defensive Alliance of Nations: Version 3.0
Pre-Submittance rules:
1. In order to be accepted into this alliance, you must first apply for the alliance. Submittances to the alliance can be posted below, or on our off-forum site. Each nation that has submitted will then be under a pending status where they will undergo a quick background check to see if you are really who you claim to be.
2. Applying nations must be fully committed to follow the standards and regulations of the Aggressive-Defensive Alliance of Nations. If you cannot, then do not waste your time applying.
3. You must agree to a background check to ensure that you are trustworthy.
4. The ADAN is an alliance of Aggressive and Defensive Nations. Thus a high military ratio may allow you more leniance for acceptance than a nation with a rather low ratio. Do not, however, let this turn you away if you are a new nation, or a nation that doesn't believe in large Military Forces. This also does not guarantee that if you have an extremely large military force, that you will be accepted instantly. The ADAN is supposed to be more open for All nations to be able to join without complications. (More details further down.)
5. We are looking for nations at or above one hundred million people (total population wise). Once again, if you are below one hundred million, do not let that turn you away. We shall tell you why further down.
6. Nations can be instantly accepted if they are either endorsed or the High Council votes in favor of the Nation at question.
7. The ADAN is not a nuclear weapons loving alliance. All usage must be granted permission by the Military and Governing Councils and then further approved by myself. Any usage without consent will result in severe actions upon thee.
8. In addition to the Pending Status, outside intelligence may also be used in your judgement. So please, don't submit if everyone in the bloody world hates you.
Note: Applications are subject to be revoked if conflicts arise.
Post-Submittance Rules:
1. No Military action is to be taken amongst a fellow Alliance Member unless permission is granted by the High Council to be so. Permission may be granted upon request, but not every request is accepted. If Military action is striken upon a fellow nation without the High Council's approval, your nation would then be Expelled from the Alliance. Higher Level violations, such as more than two fellow Members, may result in Higher Leveled Consequences. Of course, this Alliance will not Forcefully remove all Members if the Conflict achieves a status of over fifty percent participation of Members. In that case, the conflict will be deemed an Alliance Disagreement, and would be considered unecessary to see to action be brought upon the Aggressive Members.
2. With the previous Rule being stated, any conflicts involving a fellow member against another fellow member may be monitored by the High Council.
3. You may NOT flame nor talk badly about a fellow member. Violations of this Rule will result in INSTANT permanent BAN from the Alliance. Higher Levels of Violations will result in notification of Moderators.
4. You may be a member of another alliance as well as this one.
5. I say again, the ADAN is not a nuclear weapons loving alliance. All usage must be granted permission by all representitives and the Governing Council. Any usage without consent will result in severe actions upon thee. To apply for permission: post on this thread, telegram any Council member, telegram myself, or post your application on the private forums.
6. Application to our many different classes, such as the councils or divisions, are to be made on the private boards.
AAN-DAN
The Aggressive/Defensive Alliance of Nations is almost at the point in which stage two can come into play. Splitting of Aggressive and Defensive members.
Idealy, larger nations with huge military powers are to be on the Aggressive Alliance of Nations. These nations will pull through the Alliance-wide operations, such as total war against an opposing alliance or to counter a nation that has attacked a fellow member. However, there are limitations to these nations.
-=-AAN members should be larger than 1.5 billion people (Total Population).
-=-AAN members must seek permission from myself and the council.
-=-Pointless warmongering will not be tolerated.
-=-The inclusion of the ADAN for your personal wars will not be tolerated.
-=-Do not start wars just to have the DAN fight for you.
-=-If you embarrass the ADAN, you will be subject to discipline.
-=-If you make a mockery of the ADAN, stricking a non-member nation without proper authority, you will not have the assistance of the ADAN.
-=-Further mockery will result in extreme discipline. (Details are confidential.)
-=-AAN members are also to look after eachother, except upon the circumstances previously mentioned.
Defensive Alliance of Nations are members whom 'protect the motherland' so to say. They, instead of going out to war, prepare the homeland defenses incase the war comes to our home's borders. These nations are, for the most part, smaller nations that are not part of the AAN. In times of war, the DAN stock up on counter-measures, weapons, and other arsenal to help fuel the war effort of the AAN. However, the DAN are not to be 'slaves' or 'oppressed' by the AAN. In fact, the AAN and DAN are to co-exist peacefully. The Defensive Alliance of Nations also has their limitations:
-=-Must assist in the defense of the Alliance.
-=-Defensive nations are limited to ADAN peacekeeping missions, to hone their RP skills and get ready for actual offensive missions.
-=-They can be used in civil wars, terrorist attacked zones, or areas of civil unrest.
-=-These member HAVE the right to disapprove of any AAN action.
Nations with total populations of 2 billion or higher are more so going to be asked to be a part of the AAN. Nations with total populations of 100 million to under 2 billion are more likely to be asked to be a part of the DAN. Any members under 100 million are more than likely going to be placed on 'Observation' or 'Observer' for them to learn how things are done, and will also be used as a last resort on the front lines.
Also, as a punitive action for larger nations, we also reserve the right to demote a AAN nation to DAN status.
High Council (Rules/Regulations/Etc.):
The High Council is a system of governing for the Alliance as a whole. It shall be consistant of five member nations, one being Dephire of course. They will be in control of anything regarding Politics and Security, Law Enforcement and Society. Diplomacy and anything else. The High Council is the highest governing body of the entire alliance. The members of the High Council shall be decided by the fellow members of the Alliance.
Current Members of the High Council:

A/D Representitives:
ADAN is divided into two sub-groups: Aggressive and Defensive nations.
Their representitives are there to represent the whole of each group, and act as a military council, with the ANR proposing an action, and DNR either confirming or denying it, there may be up to two representitives for each group.
