[*]The Lord of Finance will be responsible for all official aid transactions, whether they be military or monetary.

[/LIST][u]Conduct[/u]

Trikymia Dominion members are expected to be respectful to all alliances, not solely those with whom we hold a treaty. It is our belief that each member’s conduct reflects upon the alliance as a whole, and as such, in the event that another alliance brings to the leadership’s attention that a member was less than respectful, disciplinary actions may be taken at the discretion of the leadership. Those members who remain respectful and active within the alliance can expect promotions and rewards. Members are granted the right of discussing any topics they wish, so long as they remain respectful in doing so, and so long as they limit it to Trikymia Dominion property.[/QUOTE]
