In cases of emergency, the King may make a decision without consulting the Regents but he must confer with them both as soon as possible. If the King is absent, the Regents may make a decision without consulting the King so long as they both agree and confer with the King upon his return.

Article 2: The Seat of Chancellor

There shall be 3 Chancellors to oversee the daily activities of the alliance. While they have no official power to influence the alliance's policies, each Chancellor will be given control over their area of the alliance. They are required to host regular counsel with the Regents and seek guidance before implimenting any new programs to ensure their focus is aligned with the over all focus of the alliance.

Article 3: The Title of Lord

Each department within the alliance shall have its own Lord. Lords are to be the eyes and the ears of the Chancellors, helping to impliment their programs and steer their department towards the Chancellor's goals.

Article 4: Removal and Replacement of the King

If the performance of the King is found lacking due to mismanagement or lack of presence, a vote may be held to replace the King. The participants in the vote will be the Regents and all 3 Chancellors. In order for the King to be replaced, both Regents and 1 Chancellor must vote for it.

Only the 2 Regents have the right to claim the throne. If both Regents feel they should be King, the Chancellors must hold a vote. The Regent who receives 2 of the 3 votes then inherits the throne. If only one Regent wishes to claim the throne, the vote may be passed over.

Article 1: Privledge of Membership

Getting a membership to DOA is a privledge and should be treated as such. All members are required to follow DOA rules and regulations as well as stay active on the forums to maintain their membership.

Article 2: Rights as a Member

All members are guaranteed the right to protection provided by fellow alliance members and allies. If the member needs protection due to their own action which breaks any DOA rules or regulations, this right is null and void.

Every member has the right to take part in all programs ran by the alliance as long as they meet the program's set requirements.

All members are guaranteed the right to express their opinions, whether positive or negative about the alliance's inner and outer workings so long as they do so in a respectful manner. Name calling or use of abusive language makes this right null and void.

If they disagree with the Triumvir's decision, they may appeal to the Chancellors. All 3 Chancellors must agree against the Triumvir's decision for it to be revoked.

Section 4: Allegiance

Article 1: Alliance Comes First

All Disciples acknowledge and accept that the alliance as a whole comes before any individual nation.

No treaties may be entered into that could put DOA's sovereignty at risk.

Article 2: Allies

All allies are to be treated as if they are one and the same as DOA. The well being of their nations is just as important as the well being of our own. If called upon, DOA will go to war to defend an ally as if DOA itself has been declared upon.

DOA promises to keep in close contact with their allies and work to build a friendly and long lasting relationship at all times.

Section 5: Decleration and Execution of War

Article 1: Acceptable DOW Reasons

Attacks made against a Disciple with the opposing alliance refusing to resolve the issue peacefully. An alliance poses itself as a threat to DOA's sovereignty over its own nations. A nation is caught sending spies to a Disciple's nation with the approval of their alliance's government. An alliance is caught actively poaching DOA members. A rogue nation has declared on a Disciple.

Article 2: Approval of War

Individual wars may be approved by any member of the Triumvir. Alliance wide wars must be approved unanimously by all 3 members of the Triumvir.
