The Offical Articles of Colonization.




The Articles of Colonization:
Article 1 – Intentour intenet is for the purpose of bringing together various individuals who enjoy role-playing and/or simulation gaming on the Internet. The Colonial Fleet, as an entity, is constituted as a military organization with its several members holding different military style ranks. The following Ranks are created by this charter. The Council of executive officers of The Colonial Fleet (Hereinafter "Council" or "Council of executive officers") do hereby run the fleet in a democracy fashion, Each Council member is entitled to one vote on all matters placed before the Council, the Fleet Admiral's vote counts for three. The Council itself shall consist of six members when there are adequate members with the rank of major. The Fleet Admiral, and the Fleet Executive Officer are automatically elected to the Council. Any other vacant Council seats may be filled by a Majority vote from within the council itself, such vacant seats can only be filled by the rank of captian or above. to remove someone from the council of executive officers, the fleet admiral must have good enough reason, and a unanimous vote from every other council member. The Fleet Admiral shall appoint the Fleet Executive Officer; however the officer must meet the rank requirements stated above. The remaining seats (3-6) will be decided by Rank. If 2 or more Council members have the same rank, the seat will go to the one with the most time in The Colonial Fleet. Retired officers who have returned after less than 6 months will have their previous The Colonial Fleet duty time considered for seniority issues. The Fleet Admiral shall be responsible for the day to day operation of The Colonial Fleet as set forth in the CoC. The Fleet Admiral is empowered to take all actions he may deem necessary to protect the integrity and health of The Colonial Fleet. This includes the power to declare War on another Fleet without vote of Council. In this event The Fleet Admiral will immediately notify the Council via council forums and IM explaining all actions taken. If , in the opinion of the Council, It is decided the Fleet Admiral has over stepped his/her authority in the issue, Any member of the Council can call for a vote to "Veto" the action. A unanimous vote is required to pass a veto. The Fleet Admiral is bound by his office to inform the council of every decision made under this article. In order for a council member to be removed from office, the Fleet Admiral must have good enough reason and get a majority vote from every other council member. The Fleet Executive Officer shall have the same authority as the Fleet Admiral when designated as "Acting" Fleet Admiral in the absence of the Fleet Admiral. All other Officers shall have such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned either by the Fleet Admiral or the Council of Executive Officers. The Fleet Admiral and Fleet Executive Officer are empowered to promote and or demote to all ranks, only a Council vote, however, can remove the Fleet Admiral or appoint a new Fleet Admiral, all other powers to promote or demote are handed down by the current Fleet Admiral and his/her Executive Officer. By this, they can at their discretion allow if they choose, division leaders, or other Admiral's to promote or demote officers up to the rank of Captain. The Vice Admiral is empowered to promote officers up to the rank of Captain, however, any and all promotions or demotions can be over ridden by the Fleet Admiral and or the Fleet Executive Officer. If in the event that a dispute arises in regards to demotions or promotions the Admirals Council will have the final say. All officers above the rank of Captain are empowered to discipline officers below them, provided such discipline is fair and in accordance with the Chain of Command and Code of Conduct, this does not include the power to demote, unless the officer involved falls into the category above. Finally, with The Colonial Fleet existing separately of its members., no member, regardless of his/her rank, shall have the authority to disband The Colonial Fleet for any reason. The sole authority to disband The Colonial Fleet resides in the Council of executive officers. The Motion to Disband the Fleet must be submitted to all members of the Council and must receive the affirmative vote of four Council members, two of whom must be the affirmative vote of the Fleet Admiral and Fleet Executive Officer. If both requirements are not met, the Motion to Disband fails.

All officers and non-commissioned officers of The Colonial Fleet shall adhere to a code of rigorous honesty in all of their affairs. All contest results shall be reported honestly and no officer is to publicly accuse another individual (whether a member of this Fleet or not a member of this Fleet) of cheating, hexing the game involved, or having taken advantage of adverse gaming conditions (i.e. "lag") unless the officer can prove his assertions or, in the case of "lag", unless the officer respectfully advised the opponent of his concerns immediately upon noting them while IN THE GAME. aimbotting is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. so is using sight jacker to gain an unfair advantage in a game. the only time a The Colonial Fleet officer is to engage in such acts is if we are at war with a particular clan. if this is the case the Fleet Admiral must engage code6690. this is the offical code for all Fleet member to use aimbots, and or sightjacker. as they say "all is fair in love and war." again this is an order only senior officers may even suggest.

Article 9 - war time policy we

have a war time policy which goes as follows.in times of war if an outranking officer issues an order, and someone refuses the order. then the said person will be brigged on charges of TREASON. if indeed this said person is found to be guilty, they are immediatly dishonorably discharged. however the charging officer must have ample proof i.e a screen shot, xfire text chat log of the person to be defiant of the order. no matter how crazy or innapropiate the order is it needs to be followed through, so that we dont seem weak in a time of war. i.e say if we are at war with another clan in halo and an outranking officer tells you to "teabag someone" while this is indeed against our CoC, DO IT! that way it keeps you out of trouble. you may make an actual complaint after the war, with proof i.e screenshot of the order and you actually carring out the order, with those as proof we can charge the officer with violating the CoC. --code6690. this is the offical code for all Fleet member to use aimbots, and or sightjacker. as they say "all is fair in love and war." again this is an order only senior officers may even suggest. the fleet admiral has all rights to accept or deny the order request. the fleet executive officer DOES NOT have a right to iniate this order, unless is "acting" as fleet admiral. if we go to war all peoples on leave are to come off leave to assist in the war, unless given permission by the Fleet Admiral or the council of executive officers.

Article 10 -JAGyou have a right to defend your self. --a “court martial” will be held via xfire with the accused and either Fleet Executive Officer OR the Fleet Admiral. The council of executive officers WILL NOT be involved; instead, the accused officer’s fate rests with the giver of the court martial. Unless the accused can defend themselves beyond a reasonable doubt that they are not guilty, then the judge shall give the sentence. But, if they can defend themselves reasonably well, then the accused shall be let free and the accuser of the officer will be held and be given a court martial as well…… though, this second court martial will rarely happen instead, they will be reprimanded severely for giving a false accusation. *consequences include but are not limited to the following:-- banned from the forums for x amount of time-- a dishonorable discharge-- a public apology to the entire fleet for your actions--utterly denied any clan involvement what so ever(disavowed)Really, all this is saying is use your head, don't do anything that would bring negative relations or such to our fleet.
