TRIUMVIRATE OF YUT FIRST AMONG EQUALS COUNCIL
Document Reference TFAE-05836873

Triumvirate of Yut Application Procedures


In recognition of the current interest being expressed in joining the Triumvirate of Yut, the First Among Equals council has formalized an application process as follows:

1. Applicant Nation contacts a current Member (not Scolopendra, Karmabaijan or Berserker) and asks to be sponsored.

2. The Sponsor Member will conduct a background/history check.

3. Sponsor Member will approve/disapprove sponsorship request.

4. If approved, the Sponsor Member will bring the applicant's name to the Triumvirate Council for a 2/3 majority vote. A representative of the Applicant Nation will be present to answer any questions the Council may have.

5. If the Applicant Nation passes the 2/3 vote, final approval rests with the First Among Equals Council. A veto from any of the three members results in termination of application.

6. If the Applicant Nation recieves final approval they will be placed into a probationary period. During this period, the Approved Nation will be permitted to attend Triumvirate functions but will not recieve a vote. This period will last roughly 2 weeks RL, with final full membership granted at the First Among Equals Council's approval.

Only after final approval will an applicant be entitled to the benefits and responsibilities of the Triumvirate of Yut Charter (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19994/).

However, Suunto is not I. Never was, never will be. I just got his spot.

The actual story behind Suunto:

They were an original founding nation of the Trium. However, they as a whole, dislike politics. For some reason, 98% of the Citizenry of Suunto is content to mine or work in the heavy manufacturing factories. We actually have an ongoing scientific inquiry as to why this is. We are still awaiting results. Anyway, they ceded their place on the Council to Berserker, a very long time ago.

Formal Request for Sponsorship

Following the announcement of the formal application process the Republic of Sunset would like to formally begin by asking for the sponsorship of the Federated Segments of Scolopendra.

President Thorgardson
We will sponsor the Republic of Sunset. We expect their history to be honorable.

Can we get a list of things you shouldn't be to apply?

I applied in the past and was rejected for specific political reasons...ie...high membership in The Dominion (GDODAD). What else will get you automatically rejected?

sounds like a nice process

(oh, for tag's sake!)

Oh hell! Every time I think I've found an alliance of some kind they throw in the "Must have civil rights" clause. Back to the drawing board.

DNS lodges a formal request to be considered for membership.

OOC: Oh for chrissakes, did you read this post at all? get thee to a Trium Member. RP it out. Get thee a sponsor as directed here. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting sick and tired of all the silly requests that haven't been thought out entirely, usually consisting of a mere line or so that you see all over the forums anymore. Lets take it up a notch or two, shall we? This IS supposed to be RP, is it not? Do you honestly think, if a nation were trying to get membership in a well-established, respected alliance that a little blurb like that would get it?

Now - to answer some of the rest. Me, I'm the new kid on the block Trium-wise. I'm still learning the ropes, and the past histories here in a lot of cases. I'm sure you've noticed that my ideology differs somewhat from a good many fellow members as well, so I often have a different take on things.

I can't speak for the rest on what may or may not constitute grounds for a denial. Please read through at least the first entry of the Charter for the Triumvirate of Yut (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19994&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=5e685b84bbcdea2108e8a2712caacfab). It covers quite a bit, as well as lays out guidelines and requirements.

Now that I've ranted, I wish you all luck in your endeavors. Seriously. I'd just like to see the quality of RP improve, and am in no state of mind at present to couch it in frills and lace. I know it doesn't come naturally to everyone. If you have questions, or need advice on how to more skillfully RP things out ... ask people who you see doing so for advice. I've found more often than not, that folks are fairly receptive when approached in a pleasant manner.

I hope the link helps those who have questions, and am sorry I can't answer more better myself at present time. Needless to say, if you've a history of hyperactive militaristic tendencies, you're going to have some troubles. Certain alliances will also not be looked on as kindly as others. Tendency to get into flame wars, and stoop to unbecoming behaviour on the forums is, I believe, another thing that will probably earn you a 'no' vote. As for other things, bear in mind, we are an alliance of varied nations. As such, we may not always agree on things - ie: you may very well have through your experiences run afoul of someone, and as such, will suffer the consequences of that. It happens. RP out patching things up. One never knows, eh?

At any rate, I've gone on long enough here I think. Please feel free to tg me on anything I've said here, or if you've questions I might still answer. Good luck with it, have fun, and play on.

semi-ooc:Let me clarify something. The sponsorship process is not you just randomly requesting sponsorship. It is something that should be done behind the scenes with a specific person in mind. i.e, use TGs, email, whatever, to contact a specific member for sponsorship. It is a three tiered process. You convince a single member, then the Trium council, then the FAE council. Making an open cry for sponsorship just brings us right back to what killed the old system. Please do not send requests for sponsorship to myself, Scolopendra, or Berserker, work through the Trium Membership at large. This thread is for questions about the new process, not the actual application of the process.

Well that was a relief to hear, I'd hate to see the Trium. cluttered with time-bomb probationary nations.

OOC: Let me clarify it then.

DNS lodges a request a Triumvirate of Yut member to sponsor us. Based on the list I looked at, I haven't really RPed with any of you yet(mostly due to not being total spacetech yet). Therefore it's an open request, because I know none of you well enough to single out a nation.

This thread is for questions about the new process, not the actual application of the process.


Read carefully. Even if you don't know any members personally, that is the point of the process. It is up to you to build a rapport. Convince them that you are Trium material.

You have to go find a sponsor yourself, not advertise your need for one.

Also, all of the nations in the Triumvirate have strong connections with each other. That includes the Machine States of Zero-One and Angelus. Your stance against the Machine Peoples is also viewed with a great amount of disdain.

I am sure there are other reasons, but these are the only two that matter to me at the present time.

semi-ooc: I have long since accepted that I am not to be a Trium member, a group which at one time I longed to be part of. Amazingly though, I am confused by your reasoning.

I did not make my way up the ranks of GDODAD by military might...or ignorance. Correct me if I'm wrong...but I have never really fought one war in the name of GDODAD or the Dominion. Threatened, yes. Thrown my weight around, yes. Fought...no. That being said...I haven't fought any war for a long time.

I achieved my high ranking in the Dominion by simply demanding it. I started the message boards, I take charge of things, and I lead people/nations. (ie...I'm good at bossing people around...doing it to those who need it...laying off those who don't.)

Alas, it is not my leader who is firmly against free thinking machines, but my people. It was not long ago when over a billion people died over a time period of 25 years due to the uprising of droids and other Electronic "life". They are not yet ready to live amoung those who killed their great-grandparents. Soon they will...but not yet. Perhaps then...at least an alliance can be achieved.

I cannot deny my involvement in GDODAD/Dominion, nor my distrust of EI and other electronic lifeforms. But "instigator" and the assumptions of "other reasons" are pushing it.

So as far as anyone should be conserned no one knows about that except for The Kali Corp. and The People's Anthill.

ooc:

As a note, I seriously doubt Kali will be sponsored. And if, by some miraculous intervention of a higher power, Kali DOES get sponsored, Scolopendra has already stated quite clearly that they intend to veto the application if it somehow gets to the First-Among-Equals Council.

As a note.

The Empire believes it speaks on behalf of the Triumvirate when it says that no sponsor will be forthcoming, as a large majority of the Triumvirate finds the actions and diplomatic record of the Kali Corporation to be unfavorable. We had thought that our silence on the matter would be evidence enough of this, but upon consideration we deemed that perhaps The Kali Corporation preferred an official response.

Of course, other Triumvirate members are free to disagree with me, but we are fairly certain that this will not be the case and that their silence on the matter should be taken as agreement with our statement.

*Ahem*

The Steward wishes it to be known that, and I quote, "I wouldn't have Eniqcir sponsor or vote for that evil morass that is Kali, even if they miraculously ended every current war and offered an instant solution to the genetic instability problem."

I'd say that's a pretty good indication that Kali ain't gettin any support over here.

We find your presence disturbing, Kali Corporation. We do not feel the need to go into details.

Angelus withdraws its sponsorship of the Vortex Corporation.

*bump*

Angelus would like to put forth a sponsorship of the Angelic Sisterstate of Kaenei.

While We have done extensive research on the nation of Kaenei, the only military action that they have taken is the assistance of Us during the Sketch offensive, minimal assistance given to the rebels in Arani, and in the distant distant past, minimal assistance to Demoness.

Their history is rather quiet of late, though in their past they were the power behind the ACA before CACE and the ascension of SeOCC. For quite a while, Aeolis Caelistis (the First Citizen of Kaenei) was the Minister of Defense for the ACA, and then the Assistant Administrator and true power behind the delegacy of the ACA.

Several years ago, however, there was a major schism with the hierarchy of the ACA. Free Socialism, working in concert with SeOCC performed a successful coup of the ACA government, and Kaenei was forced to leave in disgrace.

Since then, Kaenei established closer ties with the Deus Ex Humana Consortium, and with the Consortium's military power, Angelus.

They have maintained a strong presence on the WorldDisc, and have remained relatively quiet for the past couple of years.

However, We believe that their recent assistance during the Sketch offensive once again catapulted Kaenei into the international scene, and placed Kaenei in the upper eschelons of RP greatness.

We believe that their RP is sound, their IC and OOC personalities are honorable without question, and We ardently believe that they would bring fresh and wonderous blood into the Triumvirate of Yut.

<Communications to the Council of Yut>
{
<< As much as I dislike increasing our already long list of potential applicants we must work through, it has come to my attention that the Empire of Treznor is seeking admittance into the Triumvirate of Yut. Treznor is a personal ally of the Dominion, and a nominal acquaintance of my own; in repeated personal conversations with their leader, Emperor Devon Treznor, and from working closely with the same, I have found this nation deserving of my sponsorship.

<< It is currently the de facto leader of the Non-Democratic Alliance, which has been--unlike foolish alliances such as GDODAD--a stabilizing influence among the world community. While I know full well the Triumvirate has no opinion when it comes to form of government, it is to be known that the NDA in general--and Devon Treznor in particular--is primarily responsible for the diplomatic cessation of the conflicts in Iraqstan, and pivotal in gaining the TYCS permission to conduct its current extraction operation of the Um Lizaan people.

<< Yes, Treznor is currently allied with our good friend Carlos Quil'raya of Iraqstan, but this belies an adherence to ideals. Quil'raya is an ally of his and thus will not abandon that ally. While potentially misguided in this case, it shows an honorable idealism which would suit the Triumvirate of Yut well. I have Emperor Devon's personal assurance that he will do as much for the Triumvirate as he has for the NDA... and, given our past history, not much he does personally for me comes lightly.

<< Thus do I, Sentient Optimized Data Access Network, Master Control Program of the Queendom of Zero-One, formally announce my sponsorship of the Empire of Treznor.

<< I will inform you if my background checks change my opinion of this applicant in the slightest.

I think there is no doubt in anyone's mind where I stand on this issue, still, in the interest of fairness, I choose to withold my vote for now. I would like to see the Empire of Treznor get in on its own merits and the votes of unbiased members. I can't help but think Emperor Treznor would prefer the same.

As for the matter of Kaenei, the Dominion votes 'aye'.

We have had little direct contact with either nation up for vote. However, what we have heard of each is mostly good. Unless new information is brought to light to change our minds, Eniqcir votes "Aye" on both counts.

I have been given Firefury-sama's vote on the subject of the memberships of Kaenei and Treznor. Barring any new material against either, her vote is a resounding "Aye!" for the inclusion of both.
