| BACK TO GOVERNMENT | CHARTER | LEGAL CODE | HISTORY | FOREIGN AFFAIRS | JOURNAL | TEMPLATES | HAYMARKET'S MANUAL | STATISTICS |



Dear Reader,

At some point in the future, someone will read this document to ask "why did they do such-and-such"? The answer is most likely lost to history, but perhaps I can provide some general insight to future speakers and rules lawyers (or actual lawyers) as to the specific question of what the authority of this document is under what is the currently a proposed Charter for this Village. The answer is simple: "The Speaker of the Council shall maintain the legal code, maintain the World Factbook Entry, compose region-wide communications as necessary to the function of government, and regulate the convention of debate and deliberation on legislation." (Charter IV.3.b) As such, I now convene this debate and deliberation for the first time of what I dearly hope is many, many times.

In this guide, I write on a variety of things I believe are crucial to a deliberative body's proper functioning. At the very minimum, the Speaker should ensure the region is always running smoothly on a legislative front, and should actively seek out people to help. This is the guide to ensuring the region is always functioning at this level at the very least. Should the region ever cease to function in this way, one may well modify these rules as experience permits. The key is transparency and an even hand. I especially highlight the importance of neutrality in Rule 11, and I implore the reader to consider the importance of fairness and equity in all affairs pertaining to the law.

This section contains a full explanation of Ridgefield's policy requiring WA membership, and instructions for obtaining an exemption.

  1. Requirement.

    1. All residents are required to be members of the World Assembly at all times (see "Exemption" below).

    2. A puppet may be used to join the World Assembly, but only that nation may remain in the region.

    3. Non-WA nations without an exemption will be issued a reminder within a week of their arrival or resignation.

    4. Nations not in compliance one week after the reminder will be ejected, but not banned.

    5. There are no rules regarding endorsements of other WA members.

  2. Reason.

    1. Ridgefield strives to maintain a certain quality of content and community. Puppets, which are frequently anonymous and of low value to their owners, degrade this quality.

    2. The only way to prevent a flood of puppets with total surety is to rely on the game's automatic anti-multiing functionality, which prevents players from cheating by entering multiple nations into the WA.

    3. A high-quality region full of active, contributing residents is preferable to a much larger region that has been inflated with inactive puppets.

    4. Finally, a high concentration of WA nations strengthens our voice in international affairs, and increases our overall regional influence by orders of magnitude.

  3. Exemption.

    1. There may be exemptions offered by joint ruling of the Governor and Mayor.

    2. The Governor nation is exempt from this policy, but the Governor will not be permitted to own puppets within the region.

This section contains all rules concerning our RMB.

  1. Consecutive posts.

    1. Do not post more than once in a row. Multiple consecutive posts will be suppressed with no exceptions.

    2. Instead, reread your post before submitting, check for typos, and hit Preview to look over your formatting.

    3. Deleted posts cannot be suppressed and therefore do not count toward this rule, but it is asked that you avoid posting consecutively and deleting the posts.

    4. When quoting a post, a resident should shorten the content between the [quote] tags to 50 words or less and in a clear and concise way that is not misleading to the meaning and intent of the original post, so as to reduce spam and posting of the same thing twice in its entirety.[/tab]

    5. If a resident fails to comply with rule d) then a warning will be issued, and, if it is not fixed in a reasonable amount of time, the post is to be suppressed indefinitely, until the necessary changes are made.[/tab]

  2. Objectionable posts.

    1. Spam is defined as completely meaningless content, or at least six consecutive posts, including deletions. Three or more consecutive posts with completely meaningless content will be considered aggravated spam.

    2. Obscene material is defined as gore, nudity, shock images, or highly R-rated text (sexually explicit or containing excessive profanity).

    3. Spamming the RMB will result in a telegram warning and suppression of all offending posts, issued by the Chief of Police. Aggravated spamming will result in summary ejection, by the same.

    4. Posting obscene material will result in summary banishment, issued by the Chief of Police.

  3. Embassy posts.

    1. Nations in regions that have embassies with ours are able to post on our RMB.

    2. Frequently, though not always, you will have the same ability to post in those regions. Be thoughtful of other regions when posting on their RMBs, as your posts reflect on our region as a whole.

This section contains our official embassy policy, which is currently subject to change at any time. Foreign ambassadors should read carefully before making an in-game embassy request.
  1. Please telegram a request to the Director of Relations, or if unavailable, the Founder. The request should include at least one good reason why we should accept your request. All regions collecting embassies will be categorically denied.

  2. Embassies do not signify alliances, but good inter-regional relations. We are a neutral region, and an embassy with another region should not be taken as a sign of ideological or gameplay alignment with that region.

  3. Keep in mind that nations in embassy regions have RMB posting ability in our region.

  4. Include the word "moose" in a telegram to us to make sure you aren't embassy spammers (yes, really).
