ADAN v3.1 (Alliance, MT, Open, Recruitment/OOC)

Antigr
22-10-2007, 20:55
Hello, I'm Antigr. Some of you may know me, some may not. Anyway, I'm a proud member of the ADAN. I am not the founder, but am a member of the high council and have been a member for a long time. This gives me the leverage to bring you another ADAN reincarnation.
This is an alliance in it's third reincarnation. ADAN 3.0 was brought about because we were getting fed up of the sign-up-and-forget members and poor turnout for everything we did. ADAN was brought down to about half a dozen members due to this. To be a member, you must be fairly frequently active at the offsite (http://z10.invisionfree.com/ADAN). ADAN 2.0 was a big change, and these big changes are continued here, at ADAN v3.1, different from 3.0 due to a charter change and some other stuff. Enjoy.

Aggresive-Defensive Alliance of Nations
Version 3.1

The Charter:

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, due only to the type of alliance this is and it's aims. 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 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) for alliance-wide operations. Once again, if you are below one hundred million, do not let that turn you away.

6. Nations can be instantly accepted if they are either endorsed or the High Council votes in favor of the Nation at question. However, you'll still be subject to background checks.

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 Dephire. 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.

9. 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, if the situation permits.

4. You may be a member of another alliance as well as this one.

5. 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 Dephire, 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 on the offsite.

AAN-DAN

The Aggressive/Defensive Alliance of Nations is at the point in which two stages are formed. Splitting of Aggressive and Defensive members.

Idealy, larger nations with huge military powers are to be on the Aggressive Alliance of Nations (AAN). 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'ing is voluntary. You don't need to be up to 1.5 billion to be accepted into the AAN (see below), those are only guidelines. Known from personal experience.

-=-AAN members should be larger than 1.5 billion people (Total Population).
-=-AAN members must seek permission from Dephire and/or 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, striking 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 each other, except upon the circumstances previously mentioned.

Defensive Alliance of Nations (DAN) 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 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. If you fall under this category, do not be turned away, you will be treated with just as much respect as everyone else.

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:
Dephire
Hurtful Thoughts
Asgarnieu
Antigr

Military Council (Rules/Regulations/Etc.):

This is a council dedicated to overseeing and commanding the ADAN military operations of all kinds. Again, it be consistent of up to five member nations. it is independent from the High Council, although this may have military command elements as well, especially at higher levels.

Current Members of the Military Council:
Antigr
Uldarious

AAN/DAN 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' in a sense, with the AAN proposing an action, and DAN either confirming or denying it, there may be up to two representitives for each group.

Incarnation 3-1/2 actually...
Your 2nd post may end up as roster (to prevent people from thinking that a roster change was actually a charter re-hash)

Also allows different poeple to control the roster merely by changing the link to it on the first or second post. (and linking it to whoever's is most up to date)

Motions for following changes in charter:
-Size limits repealed
-Eliminate 1st and 2nd person refferances to reader and Dephire
-Eliminate redundant and apologetic explanations

Examples:
-=-AAN members should be larger than 1.5 billion people (Total Population).
-=-AAN members must seek permission from myself and the council.
Clarify who 'myself' is, and eliminate population limits, since they mean almost nothing on NS.

-=-Further mockery will result in extreme discipline. (Details are confidential.)
-=-AAN members are also to look after each other, except upon the circumstances previously mentioned.
Eliminate: Redundant.

-=-Defensive nations are limited to ADAN peacekeeping missions, to hone their RP skills and get ready for actual offensive missions.
Eliminate OOC refferancing


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.
Redundant? First person and OOC refferance.

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, due only to the type of alliance this is and it's aims. 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 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) for alliance-wide operations. Once again, if you are below one hundred million, do not let that turn you away. We shall tell you why further down.

Too apologetic. It is nice to know, but really doesn't help peolpe understand ADAN or the charter, it also says you can essentially ignore these parts.
-----
Roster issues:
Antigr is High Council
Forgot Dephire and Carbandia
I'm Defensive.

Reject/resign/boot roster should be cleared and main roster updated on regular intervals (once every 1 to 3 months)
------
Note: It claims to want nations above 1.5 billion, then only 100 million people.

I believe it had something to do with UFAN, or was it the iFAN?
Simply, you failed background checks.

They believed your involvement would be counter productive to at least one of the alliances.

It seems you are a new member, so for the sake of roleplay we need to ask you the following:

have you read the stickies at the top of the forum page in International Incidents and Nationstates forums? If not, do so. All of it.

You must read the entire charter on the first page and agree to all of it. Don't skip it, it is important.

To: Whom it may Concern
From: Amanda Ethridge

As a large nation Diggledom has no need to fear outside influence or attacks, but having been watching the international scene for several years we have come to the conclusion that we were one of the lucky nations, being placed as we were, on an independent island chain.

We would like to join the alliance to extend our military support to any nations that need it, with our large military and relatively peaceful intentions we believe we will be a valuable member of the alliance.

I lurked for a while before posting, so my nation is 2 billion + and I read all the stickies and all ages ago.

OOC: Ah, fantastic. We don't like one-post sign-up-and-forget members here.
ADAN v2.0 had 40 members or something. 32 of them were stupid sign-up-and-forgetters. Booted them. To be a consistent member, you must be active on the offsite as regularly as you can.
A lot of our current members have large off-NS lives too...the person who usually does our background checks, asgarnieu, works 30 hours a day and doesn't have much free time on his hands. I'm not taking his place, but I did his job as a temporary.
Anyway, pleased to have you. You'll be watched the first coupl'a weeks, but that's standard and you shouldn't worry.

To: Diggledom
From: Antigr

While you are not a member yet, as we need input from other members on this subject, we will be proud to consider you and hope you become a member of this small alliance. Once we have more members, we will eventually rise to the peak of the original ADAN, it's fourty members, and it's power and respect. You should be proud that you will hopefully be one of these, and we look forward to your acceptance.

Congratulations, Diggledom, you have been accepted into the ADAN due to a decision at the offsite (http://z10.invisionfree.com/ADAN). Please sign up there now and stay active.

In compliance with the charter, you would usually be placed in the AAN. However, it is your choice, we await your reply.

Thanksgiving break (another 3 day weekend)

Winter break (1 week, can't call it Christmas anymore in public schools)

Spring break (1 week, can't call it easter)

Summer break (air conditioners are expensive)

Kinda funny since the 1st ammendment doesn't say "separation of church and state", it just says the government may not infringe or enforce religion.

So, as long as nobody toting an M16 crams the bible down someone's throat, or starts rounding up and killing people because of their religion, it's constitutional, as banning religion from the government in general is now legal due to a supreme court ruling.*
*And overturning a supreme court ruling is nearly impossable.

The two rulings from US Supreme court I hate:
"Seprate but equal"
"Separation of church and state"

It was up there with putting a prohibition in the "Bill of rights"

America's education system is a far cry from the multi-purpose townhouse that served as an office for the mayor, the school, and the church, sometimes even as the bar/pub, homeless shelter, hospital, and town mortuary.

Well, in America I understand politics is - or was - sharing very, very stong links with religion and faith. In the UK, less so. Anyone who decides that mass immigrants living off taxpayers' money has a small bad side is rascist. Religion is on it's own in England-land.

Yay, new meat.

You seem like a new member (new guy, not HT) so first, I shall ask you:

How active are you?

Will you just sign up to this place and forget about it or make contributions toward it?

Have you read the stickies?

Have you been in any armed conflict, and if so, which ones? (We need links to them, if so)

Do you know the difference between IC and OOC and can you do each fairly well?

And, we need an IC application. Long list, but hey.

*you and your axe and tongue...*

He's pretty active on an IC anti-terrorist thread he started (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543075) that seems to be doing OK. So I can assume he memorized the stickies verbatim.*

He's also got some involvement in some espionoge/spy (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=544262) threads, so thats a few bonus points from me in his favor.

How's he at non-military RPs of his nation?

That leaves IC application (the initial one was a tad weak), and registration on offsite.

You are right, I am new to RP. I am quite active, (about 4-5 times a week as an average). I will make contributions since I often connect and find that there is nothing to do. I am currently in an armed conflict, but I don't know how to link my thread (its called -War on Terror-). And I will post an IC request, just tell me what information you want exactly.

There's examples of IC in the stickies - I think the RP ones - if you can find them.

No info is really required in the IC, just a regular letter-type thing. Make sure you read the whole charter - seriously - and if you're a sign-up-and-forget-guy, you get ejectificatified. We requiore no info on you 'cos we carry out checks, and inspect yer history.

We're still carrying out the check and deciding. *nudges HT to TG/PM me for opinion*

Checking start of hostilities... (Nov 24th)...
Comparing to acceptance to ADAN... (Dec 13th)...

Officially there is no ADAN obligation to do anything, however it would be in ADAN's best interest that the conflict end in UP's favor.

Though I would note that, as in RL, declaring a 'war on terror' isn't the brightest thing for a young nation to do.

Most of my rapid deployment forces resserved for adan are already deployed, as are a number of my nation's own military resserve, but I could most likely scrape together a few divisions from the bottom of the barrel and deploy a few extra air strikes.*

A 24 hour study followed by school/work without sleep.

Sounds like Deph joined a club/team.

Some have moments like in debate where they develop a unique form of 'girble speak' and form run on diolauge so dense with information that unless you have perfect memory a tape recorder or are really fluent in shorthand you'd be unable to keep up.

This is mostly because when repeating quotes on the clock, they ignore most if not all punctuation and just go for words per second.

The other fun part is taking quotes and warping their context to fit your needs without getting caught, this is usually achieved by messing with implied punctuation.

But I doubt he joined debate.
He may just be staying out late before a test.

Wait a second...
"Pulling an all nighter", That's Canadian/Ontario dialect!

Hello, on behalf of the Thallassocratic Oligarchy of Prevania, I would like to apply to join the ADAN (D-section) in the intrests of defence (OOC: and to improve my RPing!!!). I have already applied on the off-site forum.
All the info on my nation can be found here: http://www.editthis.info/nova/Prevania
I hope to be able to bring a new theatre of operations to the allaince (I have about 288 military airships).
Thanks,
[INDENT]Direktor Boris Berenovski of the Thalassocratic Oligarchy of Prevania, Protector of the Nation, High Admiral of the Combined Fleets, Grand Marshal of the Army, Victor of the Seventh Prevanian Air War, Protector of the Albatross, etc.[INDENT]

PS: I do not have any nuclear weapons as such, however, many of my ships and all my large military airships use nuclear propulsion, and 78% of Prevania's electricity comes from nuclear power stations. I hope this is not a problem.
