NOIR ODP Bloc

NOIR

Preamble
The name NOIR, literally translated as Black, is both an obvious and a subtle suggestion as to the intentions of the signatories. We, sovereign and noble alliances of black, sign this treaty to better our sphere through culture and trade, and better ourselves in the pursuit of furthering the interests of all black alliances and nations.

Article I. La Legion Noire:
Non-Aggression and War
Section 1.
Aggression, as defined by a declaration of war, aiding nations who are at war with or belong to an alliance which is at war with a signatory, or encouraging a declaration of war, is not permitted between signatories of this treaty.

Section 2.
Any nation(s) found to be in violation of Article I, Section 1 must cease hostilities immediately and offer reparations equal to or greater than the damages wrought. In the event that peace is not reached and reparations are not provided for damages, the offending nation shall be expelled from their alliance.

Section 3.
A declaration of war by a third party upon a signatory to this treaty shall serve as a casus belli for all other signatories. NOIR members are encouraged, but not required, to come to the defense and aid by any means possible.

Section 4.
No signatory shall raid Black Nations, aligned or unaligned.

Article II. Film Noir:
Intelligence
Section 1.
Signatories agree to share any and all information which they feel may be vital for the security of the undersigned.

Section 2.
Signatories must not engage in any kind espionage against another signatory, nor support such actions by a third party.

Article III. Folk Noir:
Hospitality
Section 1.
Signatories agree to support the growth of the black team by welcoming alliances to black and assisting, when possible, in the transition process.

Article IV. La Roche-Noire:
The Black Senate
Section 1.
Signatories agree to maintain a senate which is open to any candidate.

Section 2.
Signatories are encouraged to coordinate their votes in order to establish a stable and reliable senate.

Section 3.
Signatories represented directly by a senator agree to respond to sanction requests made by fellow signatories as though the requests were made by their own respective alliance.

Article V. Tech Noire:
The Black Market
Section 1.
Each signatory shall select at least one representative to serve as a Black Market Tradesman.

Section 2.
The Tradesmen are responsible for organizing trade circles as well as technology and donation deals.

Section 3.
Each signatory shall encourage their members to obtain trades as well as technology and donations deals through the Black Market in order to foster community and economic growth.

Article VI. Montagne Noir:
The Conclave
Section 1.
The enactment of this treaty is to be overseen by a council of representatives from each signatory, forming the Upper Conclave. These members have the authority to speak and submit a single vote on behalf of their respective alliances in all official matters. An alliance may choose to elect a maximum of two people to the Upper Conclave.

Section 2.
The Middle Conclave shall be an assembly of representatives from the governments of the signatories. These members are to speak on behalf of their respective alliances. In the event that no Upper Conclave representative from their respective alliance is available, a Middle Conclave member has the power to submit a vote in their stead. Each signatory may determine the number of its own members that it deems necessary to be masked in the Middle Conclave.

Section 3.a.
The Upper Conclave shall render decisions by a seventy-two hour vote in which a two-thirds majority has been reached. Abstentions shall not be included in the final tally, and any alliance failing to cast its vote within the seventy-hour period shall forfeit its vote in that decision. All votes are final and cannot be altered after the 72 hour voting period.

Section 3.b.
The Middle Conclave shall not put the subject of a failed vote to second vote until 14 days after the closing of the initial vote. A third vote on the subject may be called 28 days after the conclusion of the second vote, if it too failed to pass. A fourth vote may be called 56 days following a third failed vote on the same subject. Additional votes on the same subject may be taken by the Middle Conclave 90 days from the closure of the previous vote. The waiting period between votes may only be waived by unanimous consent of the Middle Conclave.

Section 4.
The Upper Conclave members shall each hold administrative privileges on the NOIR forums to allow for their oversight. They are responsible for maintaining proper masks and the organization of the NOIR forums.

Article VII. Pinot Noir:
Membership
Section 1.
Any black alliance in good standing is encouraged to apply for membership. Membership is conferred by the Conclave.

Section 2.
If a signatory is found to violate this treaty, they may be expelled by the Conclave after being given a period of forty-eight hours during which they may respond to any accusations brought against them.

Section 3.
Any signatory may withdraw from this treaty after giving notice on the NOIR forums. They shall be considered a third party to this treaty seventy-two hours after notice was given, during which time they are still bound to articles I and II.

Article VIII. Mondeuse Noire:
Amendment
Any proposed amendment may be adopted following a seventy-two hour vote by the Conclave in which all votes cast (excluding abstentions) approve the proposal.

We, the esteemed alliances of the Black Sphere, hereby pledge our dedication to the above document, and the betterment of the Black Sphere.
