Voting deadline: November 4228
Description[?]:
| 19. Global Role-Play Team. Moderation may appoint a small number of Global Role-Players, who will collectively comprise the Global Role-Play Team and whose identities will be listed on the Register of Global Role-Players & Nationmasters. Global Role-Players may not generally compel players or nations to role-play, to acknowledge a role-play or to role-play in a particular way, but they do enjoy a special licence to initiate role-play across the game world. They are to put the general interests of the game first and must not pursue any narrow, personal in-game agenda. The Team takes collective responsibility for its decisions and operates under Moderation's overview. Appointments shall be made in March and September of each year, with each term lasting six months. Where appropriate, the Team may delegate role-play and other tasks to players outside of the Team, but it retains overall responsibility. 19.1 The objectives of the Global Role-Play Team are: - to be an active presence in the game community. - to promote awareness of and adherence to the Game Rules. - to liaise with Nationmasters, who they should generally defer to on issues directly affecting a nation the Nationmaster is attached to. - to lead the role-play of the former colonial territories. - to initiate and encourage role-play, most especially international role-play and role-play on the forum. - to encourage discussion on the General Discussion sub-forum about role-play. - to reach out to players who are new to the game or who have not been extensively involved in role-play before. - to coach players on the intricacies of the game and on how to improve their role-play. - to advise Moderation of situations that need attention. - to advise Moderation of how the rules are working and how they could be improved. - to recommend new candidates for the Team. 20. Role-Play Accord. Nations which ratify the Role-Play Accord place themselves under the authority of the Global Role-Play Team in terms of economic and military matters. The Team may not impose political decisions upon players, such as to declare war or raise taxes, but they may define the nation's military and economic character. If the guidance laid down by the Team in this regard is not followed, a report may be submitted on the Role-Play Accord thread. If the report is either instigated by the Team or supported by the Team, then Moderation will make a ruling on the issue. A nation can ratify the Role-Play Accord by passing a bill supported by a 2/3rds majority of all players with seats (not just those with seats who vote) and over 50% of the seats in the legislature. Also, at least one of the players supporting the ratification must have been currently continuously active in the nation (ie. no inactivations) for at least 1 month. A notification should then be made on the Role-Play Accord thread, so Moderation can update the Role-Play Accord Index. A nation can withdraw from the Role-Play Accord by passing an appropriate motion with a simple majority of players with seats (ie. more players with seats vote for it than against it). Also, at least one of the players supporting the withdrawal must have been currently continuously active in the nation (ie. no inactivations) for at least 1 month. A notification should then be made on the Role-Play Accord thread, so Moderation can update the Role-Play Accord Index. |

| Message | I read about this on the thread. This needs two thirds majority to be passed but it's in a more yes than no votes format. It needs to be changed I to a two thirds majority bill format. So I'll advice that you propose a bill such as change in Parliament seat size, then remove the clause of the bill in terms of resizing and then copy and paste this along with the title in that bill. |

| Message | I would also want to highlight though that even though nations may not ratify then across , they can still engage in global role play and with global role play team without being subjected to the Accord based on the statements of a moderator http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6551&start=10#p95292 |

| Message | This is a 2/3 majority bill and it will only take effect if 2/3 of the players vote yes. |
