Grand Association of Relics and Oldtimers

The Grand Association of Relics and Oldtimers (GARO) is a small alliance on the Red sphere. It was founded on 27 Jul 2010.

History
First there was nothing, and then there was Kevlar. Born into Darkness, Forged by Steel, and Filled with delicious Nougat, the Grand Association was formed from a ragtag group of ancient relics intent on bringing peace to the Cyberverse through superior wit.

Charter
Long, long ago, there lived many ancient deities dedicated to the near-forgotten art of awesome. It is said that there once existed a scroll that detailed how to obtain something greater than religious Nirvana, though not as great as Al Pacino. Countless attempts and innumerable lives have been lost in search of this Lost Treasure, the rigors of time leaving the trail dead cold. But one day it was found by a group of men of questionable moral standing. It went a little something like this:

Chris says (7:57 PM): The SecGen is elected bi-monthly, with a running mate who shall act as deputy. The deputy is acting-SecGen whenever the SecGen is unavailable, or leaves office. No emergency elections. Chris says (7:58 PM): The Secretary General appoints heads of department (defense, domestic and foreign). Chris says (7:59 PM): Each head may write up legislation, and it shall be passed into law if the SecGen doesn't veto. Membership (or senate? not sure which...maybe membership at first, add senate in when we're larger) can overturn it with a simple majority. Chris says (8:01 PM): The judiciary will be the Secretary General, or a lifetime appointment by the SecGen. Oh. Amendments must be a 60% supermajority. Chris says (8:04 PM): We should also state that while the heads of department are essentially just the top advisers of the Secretary General, and the Secretary General has ultimate control over the alliance. And I guess removal from office can be a 60% supermajority.

And that’s where babies come from.
