Pan-Agoran Anarchists' League Ordinances
- These are the Ordinances of the Pan-Agoran Anarchists' League,
heretofore known as PAAL. If all members agree on a particular
change to these Ordinances, the Ordinances are thusly changed; the
Ordinancekeepor shall distribute the new Ordinances to all members.
All changes to these Ordinances take effect at the beginning of the
first nomic week after the new Ords are sent out.
- The initial Vizier of this group is Jtael. The Vizier may step
down by posting a message to the public forum, announcing that e
is resigning and specifying a player who immediately becomes the
next Vizier. The Vizier is also the Ordinancekeepor.
- Any Player who is not a member may join any time there are less than
four members of the group by sending a message to the Vizier and the
Notary indicating that e wishes to join. Upon becoming a member for
the first time, four PAAL coins are created and transferred to that
Player.
- When a Player joins the Group, the Vizier assigns em a Group Voting
Number, or GVN. This GVN is the least nonnegative integer not
assigned to another member at the time. A member's GVN remains
constant during eir membership. When a member leaves the group, eir
GVN is revoked and may be reassigned to a future member.
- There is a player known as the Group Voter, who decides how the group
will vote on proposals on proposals whose voting periods begin while e
is Group Voter. The Vizier casts the group's vote as decided by the
Group Voter.
- At the beginning of each Nomic Week, the Player whose GVN is the
least GVN assigned to a member and greater than the GVN of the
current Group Voter becomes the new Group Voter. If there is no
such member, the member with lowest GVN becomes Group Voter.
- If there are any extra votes in the group's treasury, they may only
be cast with the consent of all group members.
- If there is any currency besides extra votes in the group's
treasury, as much of it as can be divided equally among all
members of the group shall be divided equally among all
members. At the beginning of each nomic week, ten PAAL coins are
created and placed in the PAAL treasury.
- There is a body of text known as the PAAL credo. Initially the credo
is empty. Any player may at any time add, subtract, or alter one word
in the PAAL credo by transferring a PAAL coin to the PAAL treasury;
such coins are then destroyed. The ordinancekeepor is required to
keep track of the PAAL credo.
