Pan-Agoran Anarchists' League Ordinances

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. If there are any extra votes in the group's treasury, they may only be cast with the consent of all group members.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
