Hi there,
As many of you have been hoping and anticipating, the CoT will soon start rebuilding. As many of you have noticed, the CoT building was opened to all public in patch 15.5 to give everyone the chance to see it from the inside.
In the mean time the events team has had close contact with both clerical staffs on both dimensions. Together with them we came up with the following requirements for joining the CoT as a clan.
one note though....this is not up for negotiation. These are the rules to follow for the CoT.
Requirements and rules
1) A clan must have at LEAST 10 members
2) Upon joining a clan will appoint 2 representatives who will be given a key to enter the CoT.
3) Upon joining a clan will pay the CoT 1 million credits annually to support CoT projects and activities.
4) Upon joining a clan will have to affliliate itself with 1 of the 9 main storyline factions:
Knights
Sentinels
Terra Firma
Eco warriors
Vanguard
The Unionists
New Dawn.
(their views will be detailed in another post)
Switching of affiliation or remainign unaffiliated is ALLOWED, BUT a clan who switched affiliation will not be able to partake in voting while the switch takes place (1 session) or cannot partake in voting until the clan has announced its affiliation.
Based on affiliation the storyline who has the most clans affiliated with itself will set the tone and the course of the CoT. This means that if the sentinels get most support the CoT will push for anti-neutral legislation and an escalation of conflict with OMNI to give an example. If for example the Pilgrims will get the most affiliations, the CoT will drive towards a peace settlement and general co-existence of all factions on rubi-ka.
5) Upon joining every clan will have 1 vote regardless of size or amount of people present in th CoT at that time.
6) The CoT will know 2 chambers, being chamber Atlantean and Chamber Rimor. Both chambers will decide over their own respective dimensions without interference of the other chamber. Only in matters that influence both dimensions will both chambers vote together and will hold an equal weight, regardless of the fact if one chamber holds more clans than the other.
7 To oversee the daily workings of the CoT, a staff of 6 is chosen from amongst the representatives to fullfill clerical tasks such as meeting planning and correspondence. If someone steps down from this staff, the staff itself will elect a replacement with endorsement from the CoT speaker (this wil e an NP controlled by the events department)
