	APOLYTON clan rules: draft Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

This is the draft of the clan rules, feel free to give advice/comment/criticism/objections/whatever.


These are the rules of the APOLYTON clan, to be followed indiscriminately by every clan member.

1. Every clan member is obliged to file a status report in a for the purpose created thread.
Required information:
- country name and number
- military strength
- status of alliances
- distribution of land
- tech points

This report should be updated once every 48 hours. (if there's a valid reason you cannot do so please contact me)

2. Every clan member is obliged to follow the APOLYTON code of conduct .

3. GDI membership is mandatory to every clan member. (Note: this rule will be reviewed after the reset)

4. Every member posts unprovoked, ordinary attacks on their country on the retaliation list, unless they already retaliated before filing their daily report.

5. Multies (creating multiple accounts in one game) are strictly forbidden.

6. Follow up the clan leaders' orders made in their field of responsibility (military orders from the general etc) provided, of course that those orders are in line with the clan rules and code of conduct.

Aside from the rules we also expect several things from every clan member:

1. To view this forum as often as possible, in particular the retaliation list, the kill list, the farm list, the foreign relations list and the news.

2. To check the clan rules and code of conduct regularily for changes.

3. To be a constructive, active clan member, my door and those of the other APOLYTON clan leaders are open to anyone with proposals, comments, complaints etc.

4. To ally as much as possible with fellow clan members.

5. To respect your fellow clan members, don't put down weaker members or newbies and certainly do not attack a clan member.

6. To maintain the reputation of the clan, which means not only that you follow the clan rules, but also refrain from pursuing personal vendetta's, provoking wars and to refrain from provocative, rude or otherwise despicable language in messages to other countries, and to report to the FA in case such a message was received from another country.

Whenever possible, spread a positive image about the clan.

7. Try to recruit as many people as possible to join the clan, but please mind about their trustworthiness and teamwork abilities.

8. To contact and inform me or anyone else of the clan leadership whenever you'll be absent for an extended period.

Although it's less easy to control whether clan members are living up to the expectations than it is whether they're following the rules, they shouldn't be considered any less important. A person who consistently fails to live up to the expectations can be punished as severely as someone who violates the rules.

First, I don't think the rules should be followed "indiscriminately," I suggest a less haphazard adverb

In-game alliance ("Relations" on the side bar) are important because they greatly increase your military strength. The only ally slots that you don't have to fill at all times are the research (fill only if you are a techer) and the trade pacts (fill only if you need to recieve/give foreign aid).
When you have an offensive alliance, you get some of your allies unit's automatically sent along with yours, thus increasing your firepower.

Defensive allies come into play when you are attacked.

Intelligence allies automatically help you with some of your allie's spies.

Beefhawk, I used the adverb "indiscriminately” to indicate that the rules apply to everyone equally.

Everyone, do have in mind that if you don’t express any objections I’ll consider that as an approval which means that you’ll be expected to follow these rules.

Just making that clear. (so don’t come whining afterwards that the rules are unfair )

With the additions that Rib suggested, I think this is a great frame work for which to build ourselves on... additions may be made in the future, if something abnormal arises, but I think that is rare and the above should hold up... I agree with making the rules apply to everyone... nobody is above the clan. Nice job.

I’ve added the foreign relations list, but I included it with #1 and I’ve added your other suggestion to #6, because they seem the appropriate place.

Tomorrow, I'll make an official clan policy thread, so this is your last chance to raise objections or whatever.
