League of Enlisted Gentlemen

League of Enlisted Gentlemen (LEG) is a small alliance on the Black sphere. It was founded on 8/24/2010.

History
The League of Enlisted Gentlemen was thought up by Altered and Antonio II, long time friends whom had served together in the military for years, and then became addicted to cybernations together as well.

LEG was officially conceived after learning that The United Front, the original alliance of many of the founding members of LEG, was merging into another alliance, FIRE. Altered and Antonio II had talked for a long time of forming an alliance together, and felt that this was the right time.

Finally, on August 16, 2010 a domain was bought, a name developed, and a long day spent cursing at a computer, and then a forum was born. Over the course of the next few days, several of TUF's members expressed interest in joining LEG, and began to come over, including Proud Soldier, ejwolanin, steelcitykid, and protoa, just to name a few.

Sept 22, 2010 officially declared existence and MDP treaty with Nordreich.

Article III. The Government Body of LEG

3.1 The Kingship

The Kingship is a 2 member team, who, as one, leads LEG, and as so, holds the ultimate discretion in the direction of the alliance. The Kingship holds the right to appoint all members of the High Court and with it the enactment of their said duties and regulations. Be it that the Kingship holds this authority; it is maintained in concert with the voices of the alliance members. The Kingship holds final authority on all alliance decisions. All decisions made by the Kingship must be agreed on by both members of the Kingship, should the Kingship become unable to agree, the Kingship can call on the Magisters to take a vote to reach a conclusive decision. The Kingship serves for life or until resignation. In the case of resignation or indefinite leave of absence of a member of the Kingship, the remaining member of the Kingship will hold interviews to replace the missing tier of the Kingship. The remaining Kingship will then hold a vote amongst the Magisters on the top choices to replace the Kingship position. A member of the Kingship may only be expelled by a member of the Kingship, however; the Magisters may call for a review of the Kingship’s performance. A member of the Kingship may be voted for expulsion for failing to live up to his/her duties as Kingship, direct negligence, resulting in harm to alliance, any actions deemed directly against the charter, or an unexplained period of inactivity of at least 2 weeks (i.e. one may have RL issues, however; one should make all efforts to let the others members know that they will be gone for a period of time.)

3.2 Advisor to the Kingship

The Advisor to the Kingship is the official advisor to the Kingship on matters pertinent to the alliance. The Advisor to the Kingship shall assist and advise all members of government to facilitate the day-to-day operations within the alliance. The Advisor to the Kingship also holds the power of judge court during criminal proceedings and shall call upon the Magisters and Sheriff to carry out sentences imposed during said proceedings. The Advisor to the Kingship has the right to create policies and regulations that are agreed upon by the majority of the government. The Advisor to the Kingship is appointed by the Kingship and can only be dismissed by the Kingship however; the Magisters may call for a review of the Advisor to the Kingship’s performance.

3.3 Magister

The Magister is a part of the top ranking central government, which act on behalf of the Kingship through their said duties. The Magister are appointed by the Kingship and assist the kingdom through their specialized sectors of Bureaucracy. They contribute to the direction of LEG by creating suggestive policy formations and contributing their specialized knowledge to run day-to-day acquisitions. They are appointed by the Kingship and hold their position for life or until they are dismissed for inadequate performance. Any member of the kingdom can call for their forced resignation, but a majority vote by all the members of the kingdom is needed to dismiss a Magister.

3.4 Sheriff The Sheriff assists the Magister in his/her day to day duties. The Sheriff is the first line in the chain of command for reaching the majority of the member of the alliance, and in so, is the major voice of the alliance. The Sheriff serves for life unless they resign, or until they are dismissed for inadequate performance. Like the Magister, any member of the kingdom can call for their forced resignation, but a majority vote of the kingdom is needed to dismiss a Sheriff.
