An important note about the JA
The JA's will only be involved in extreme cases. For the day-to-day punishments, it will be the GAME LEADER's discretion as to what gets punished, etc. The JA has the authority to step in if need be, and can also regulate our upper rank, however we must give GAME LEADERS & ADMINS leeway to handle business on their own if possible, and only come to JA as last resort.
Judge Advocate Department Involvement
• Extreme issues for regular members that the Major/GM/Admin Support feels they cannot handle properly themselves.
• An issue with a GM/Major, HG/Captain or anyone else above field rank ASSUMING the Admin Support of that section can not handle the issue himself.
Administrators
Any issue from warning points, dishonorable discharge or appeals for Administrators will not be handled by the Justice Department. Instead these cases are handled strictly by the Generals.
How it works:
Only Game Leaders/Elite Development/Elite MP's and above can submit a punishment to the Inner Sanctum.
• *ANYONE* can initiate an appeal as long as they have been a member for 30 days or more.
• An appeal must be submitted within 7 days of the offense to be accepted.
• Appeals should include as much information as possible. Clearly state everything that happened, include witnesses names to be questioned. Links, screenshots, logs are vital to helping you win an appeal.
The Judge Advocates will review all evidence and may question all witnesses. Once the review is completed the Judge Advocates will cast a poll and vote as to whether you are innocent or guilty.
• If you are found innocent all charges will be reversed.
• If you are found guilty, the JA's will review whether the requested punishment is acceptable. The JA's have a right to increase or decrease the original punishment. If no original punishment was set, the JA's will decide your initial punishment.
• Once your appeal is completed, you may not appeal again on the same offenses.
• Periodically 5 Star Generals will review random appeals. If they so decide, they may veto the ruling. In doing so all 5 Star Generals must vote majority.
If people initiate trials over stupid things, then they themselves will be reprimanded. This is only to be used as a last line to stop problems.
Note that the council is only to be used in extreme circumstances. if its being used to frequently, then this means that the game leaders are failing in their positions
*NOTE that unless an official trial is initiated, that the Judge Advocates have NO SAY over punishment or who is guilty, innocent, etc. - the punishment and dealing with problems falls upon the GAME LEADERS of the section. |

Developers
• In charge of leading newly released sections and appointing a permanent leadership when the section exits development.
• In charge of creating new game reviews and/or encouraging others to do so.
• General and Colonel of Development oversee the Developers and all sections in development. They also decide upon matters involving the workings/procedures/future of development.
• Elite Developers who have elite moderator permissions oversee all sections in development and do administrative work (approving recruits, updating rosters, approving scriptorium, …) for those sections.
• Developers can oversee a section by supervising the Game Champions, moderating the section forum and updating their roster. They also write p/reviews on a regular basis.
• Game Champions provide leadership in the section they are Game Champion for.
• 8 1st Lieutenant Max
Authority:
They oversee the new sections until a game leader is chosen, they are the leads over the Game Champions who are all competing to become the game leader.
Duties and Procedure:
• When a section is introduced in development, a Developer can ask for the responsibility of supervising it.
• Game Champions are appointed after discussion by the entire development staff.
• Developers are responsible for updating the member roster.
• Once a game leader is chosen the Developers are pulled out and the new game leader takes over. Only after a game leader is chosen, can a Pentagon member take on that game to oversee it as Admin Support. Pentagon members may assist in game play and help out, but the Developers are the main authority during its initial development stage.
• When the Developers are pulled out after a game leader is chosen the Developers go back to writing p/reviews and/or the next section on the list.
Game Champion
Game Champions are the primary leadership ranks for new games. They recruit, post information on their forum, help anyone who needs it and refer any problems which they cannot deal with themselves up the chain of command. Usually there will be at least one Development Recruiter assigned to their section who will be able to answer any questions and give help where needed.
• A Game Champion is chosen by development staff to support the building efforts of a new section. Game Champions are directly under Developers in authority over their game, and both must work together for the good of the section as a whole.
• There can be 2-7 selected and all are competing for the rank of game leader.
• There will be no backstabbing, down talking or gossiping bad rumors of any participant or you will be disqualified.
What it takes to be a Game Champion
You need to have proven your dedication towards Warrior Nation
You need to have basic leadership qualities, previous experience in a leading role is a benefit.
You need to be mature, polite, friendly and helpful. |
