![]() The purpose of this charter is to ensure that no matter how large ETHIC grows and how many different ideas new players bring to the alliance, we will never stray from the founding principles this alliance is created to represent. We want ETHIC to be a democracy, however, we make this charter to ensure that the values the founders instilled will never be lost during growth and future changes. ETHIC which stands for "Everlasting Truth, Honor, Integrity, and Courage", was created to provide a home for players who are dedicated to both their fellow teammates and the game, valuing sportsman-like, friendly, fun competition and teamwork. ETHIC is an alliance bound by its charter to take the moral high road regardless of the cost. We may not win every battle or every war, but in the end we will be winners by having played with sportsmanship and honor. PUBLIC RELATIONS: We believe that being open and honest about our alliance, our dealings and our intentions is a positive thing. We have an open book policy because we have nothing to hide and strive to avoid speculation and suspicion. While we remain transparent, military planning, strategy and troop movements during war are not covered by that policy. Additionally, we do not condone gossip. MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES:
SENATE: The role of "leader" is filled by the senate body instead of any single person. This is to avoid needing one person being active and around night and day for the alliance to function smoothly. With a senate body doing the job traditionally performed by a single leader, it allows for a much faster, responsive, and efficient attention to matters. Major decisions and policy changes are to be made by a three quarters majority (75% or more in favor) vote of the senate. Normal decisions are to be made by a simple majority vote (51% or more in favor) of the senate. Day to day operations and basic decisions will be made by the officer or senator responsible for that area. The Senate has final say in all matters but is bound by the core of the ETHIC Charter which cannot be amended without unanimous vote by the senate. New amendments can be added to the charter by unanimous senate vote but can not conflict with the charter core. Any founding senator can veto new member applications. Members that violate the above code of conduct, cheat, get banned or consistently fail to meet their responsibilities of ETHIC membership, will be subject to an ETHIC Senate hearing where the majority will vote proper on actions to be taken, evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Actions taken can include warnings, probationary status, or even removal from the alliance. Any sitting senator can nominate a new senator for a vote that, if passed with three quarters majority, creates a new senator. A unanimous vote by all non-senate members can remove a senator, thus giving the average members power to remove a senator not acting in the best interests of the alliance.
