The Rangers (Official Constitution)

In The Rangers, we are a democracy! We are founded on the principals of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. We give everyone a voice and expect them to uphold these values.
Almost every decision is made through a vote, quick decisions are later reviewed by a vote, and officers are elected and can be impeached if you feel they aren't doing their job! Members are never kicked with out good reason and a proper vote and we don't get rid of inactive players without a proper vote. No more going on vacation and worrying you might come back to being on your own!
We gift, trade, assist and have casual conversations on the legion comm and on our Facebook group. We have some great CT-lab discoveries, for higher ranks we alert NPCs daily and we have a great group of active and friendly people here. Thanks to our close allies, we regularly partake in level 4+ base battles, allowing more members to get base raids!

Legion Base:
The Fortress
Currently level 7 with a CT-lab! (plasma and demon world artifacts, shield and defense module discovered, along with many more!)

***ALL MEMBERS MUST JOIN!***
If you are in an allied legion, or a friend of The Rangers, still join The Rangers Facebook page!

If you are a member of The Rangers, make sure to add your GL ship name and your real name to our document on the legion Facebook group.

Our structure:
Leader (me): act like the U.S. president, with extra powers
(commands in times of war, orders troops, and leads votes and business, is the final say)
can be impeached

Co-Leader(s): act like the Speaker of the House, and Vice President (if any)
(vice-commander in times of war, and leads votes and business)
can be impeached

Officers: act like the Senate and Supreme Court
(votes on more important issues and foreign issues, closer to the leader, and judge all actions and determining whether they are acceptable based on this Constitution)
can be impeached

Other Members: act as the People and the House (vote on issues and can impeach)

***The Leader(s) can declare a state of martial law, where the Leader(s) of The Rangers assume emergency powers! This will only happen if there is a major crisis that requires quick response and the Leader(s) can still be impeached after for misconduct during this time.***

**all members can be elected to a spot and everyone can be voted out of the legion**

Election Process:
Members are nominated for a position by 3 people before an election, if all are in favor, the first few votes appoint him, if anyone has an objection a full election takes place.

Impeachment:
To impeach any elected official, a member must start a vote to impeach. If the vote passes, the legion will vote on whether or not to remove the official.

Rules for Officers and Leaders:
Members will only be kicked after a vote has been called and a majority has voted to kick.
In emergency situations members can be kicked with a vote after to confirm, but only if that member is causing problems. Leaders may demote anyone is there is an issue, re-promoting will be handled by a vote. Officers have to confer with at least one other officer before accepting a NAP. Changes to the legion in any way must be approved by The Leader (me) or voted on.
By accepting a promotion to officer, you hereby agree to protect the legion from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and uphold the Constitution to the best of your ability.
(Elected officials must agree to the above before being promoted.)

Voting:
All members are allowed one vote. All members can propose changes to the Constitution at anytime. Most (if not all) voting will be done on the legion Facebook page.

Code of Conduct:
In The Rangers, you will work as a team. As part of this team, you will be expected to be active on the comm when you are online and to check it regularly when you log in. Regularly check the legion facebook group and all members are encouraged to take part in discussions and vote.

Alerts:
No member will alert a ship for a simple badge hit, however alerting for repeated hits or planet stealing is acceptable. If a player is alerted, no member will attack much lower ranks repeatedly or respond to alerts that are canceled by the victim or officer/leader. Please check the legion comm if in doubt.

Planet Shares:
Before taking a planet, check to see if it was alerted for someone else. If you take a planet meant for someone else, the person who's planet it was meant to be will decide how to handle it, ranging from you repaying them to a temporary removal from the legion in order for the planet to be retaken. If a planet is alerted and the intended recipient fails to take it or no longer wants it, they must say so and it will be considered by all as a free planet.
Free planets will be honored as first to colonize has full rights.

NPCs:
When a NPC is alerted, members are encouraged to hit it. If you do not lock on it is perfectly acceptable for anyone to knock you off. However, if you can not lock on due to ship damage, lack of energy, etc. you may request a space on the NPC. If this request is approved by an officer/leader then this request MUST be honored by all. When attacking any NPC, members are encouraged to do their share of damage, or as much as they can. Doing one hit on an elite NPC will not make other members happy and may not be tolerated, although there will be no set legion rule against it.

Legion Base (The Fortress):
The base is designed to help our members in the best way it can. The Repair bay is free to use, if it is available, and members are encouraged to research CT-Lab discoveries and use the Ct-Lab as much as they want. Base production type can be changed by a vote, but it may take awhile to transition over.
All members are expected to contribute what they can, however, do not set yourself back just to add to the base. Officers and Leaders can withdraw credits from the base (if available) and buy/sell modules. Only withdraw credits if you need them, and only buy and sell modules if you have checked with the Leader (me) or the majority of officers agree. No one is allowed to sell the CT-lab, no exceptions!

Base battles:
All members are encouraged to join in base battles. All members can scan for a base, but first must check to see if prior arrangements have been made with allied legions. Please try and keep the scanner on the next highest level of rewards for smaller, easy base battles. All members are expected to do as much damage as possible if they want the rewards, one hit on a base will most likely not get you any rewards for that base battle.
Lower level bases:
Officers will announce a damage cap when the base is locked. All members must stay under this cap until all the slots are filled, or the timer is under 1 hour remaining, then it goes to free for all damage to kill it. Officers can announce FFA before that time however.
Higher level bases:
All damage is free for all.

Only officers can invite other legions to a base battle if it is agreed on by the other officers.

Member Behavior:
All members are to be respectful and honest in all their dealings, including with other legions.
In other words, no member of The Rangers shall ever swear at, insult, deceive, etc. any other player.
Members are expected to be friendly and helpful to other members. As part of our team, we are all here to help each other out.

Member Terms of Service Agreement:
No member of The Rangers is to violate the Galaxy Legion Terms of Service at anytime. All bugs, glitches or other exploits are to be reported immediately!
GL Terms of Service: http://galaxylegion.com/terms.html

Alliances:
The Rangers will choose allies carefully and send the appropriate pacts to the allied legion. Members are allowed to preform all hostile actions permitted by the pacts we have with the allied legion (special exceptions will be stated on the legion group page). We will defend our allies as needed. Officers must agree on all alliance requests before accepting any pacts.

War:
In order for The Rangers to declare war on a legion or individual, a majority of officers must agree. The decision must then be posted clearly for the legion to see. Any arguments against the war must be heard as they are presented.
If any legion or individual declares war on The Rangers, the official response is to have a declaration of war sent to the offending party. Further actions are to be directed by the officers on a case by case basis.

Inactivity:
If a member posts that they will be away, that member will NOT be removed due to inactivity, unless the officers vote the excuse null and void. If a member fails to inform the legion that they will be away or unable to play, they can be kicked once they become inactive by a vote.
Inactivity does not only mean not logged on in the past week, members that are not active on the comm, did not join the Facebook page, and do not rank up or share NPCs and planets can be considered inactive!
Post on the legion's Facebook group, on the proper document to informing the legion about an absence.

When Leaving the Legion or Going Inactive:
When any member is to leave the legion for any reason, they must announce their departure to the legion. Please include a reason why you left, and an estimated return date when appropriate.
When a member is planning on going inactive, they are required to properly alert the legion to their absence. Procedure is to use the proper document on the legion Facebook page.

Enforcement of the Constitution:
All elected officials in The Rangers are required to protect and defend this Constitution. Anyone who violates this Constitution will go before the officers of The Rangers who will decide how to handle the situation in a case by case manner.

Amending:
To amend this Constitution, an amendment must be proposed by a member of The Rangers, and voted on. If the amendment passes without change, it will take effect. If a change to the proposed amendment occurs, the vote is reset.

I'm also in The Rangers, and just wanted to add how we have friendly discussions all the time, and when I was first starting out they helped me out a lot! I'd love to have new people join up and help us grow

I really should point out:
we are a friendly community, we are friendly; we help out, gift, reveal planets and enemies; we love to joke around and have fun; we are casual and are quickly gaining a reputation, we fight to protect our members, and we do protect them by any means necessary.

Just joined the Rangers and the officers were very friendly and open to offering advice and help. Looking forward to becoming an active member of the legion.

Rich

I'm also In the Rangers, we're really great at working together, everyone gets along great, and we are REALLY active and talkative

I am one of the officers, and let me say that we are all very friendly and enjoy helping each other. you wont regret joining The Rangers. If u need help or just feel like talking to active players and having a fun time you should join us.

What is a democray? Is that some kind of shellfish?

Please tell me you're not living in America...

EDIT: I'm an idiot, disregard...

I think he just doesn't like your spelling.

haha wow, I just realized I spelled it wrong in the post title, I thought he just spelled it wrong, sorry Kaos.

is there a way to change the title of a post? or should we make a new post? It looks bad when we misspelled the very thing we stand for, but i understand it was just a typo, I mean look at all the other times he spelled it right.

I just fixed it Alex

Elections are closed, members can be nominated from this point forward

Edit: fixed in Constitution

We are always expanding and changing with the game, so I am proposing that the ability to make treaties is up to the leader, but must be approved by at least 3 members with no objections, and a full vote if there are any opposed. Also, NPC shares will be dealt with as they come up, we will NOT keep you on the top damagers is you did minimal damage to it just because you found it, however we will try and let those who found it stay for the rewards.

Rangers, let me know what you think of this so I can add it to our structure system

Can I first say we are gaining a name for ourselves, and second, I think the leader should have more power over treaties, maybe vote after it has been approved or consult an officer?

Can i just say i have been with the rangers for a little over 2 weeks now.

I started with them around level 20 and now im level 48.

Every step of the way they have helped me advance, been there for me whilst
i tried to invade a planet, offered me advice, constantly offered supports in gifts, as well as offered me planets that would help my resources (good ones! like terras and oceanics!). I owe alot of my progress to them.

If your looking for an active team, to be there for you in-game when you need help, as well as have a good chat and laugh along the way, then this is the right place for you.

I think there is a lot to be said for fascism.

I think attempts at democracy in these types of games don't actually provide a benefit. It's like playing a civ game where all your actions are restricted under a democracy, but then you don't really get the production/morale bonus you would in a civ game.

I have been with The Rangers for a few weeks now, i joined when i was level 14, and now i am level 58.
We are a great legion, we are very active, and we will defend our players, if necessary. We are very helpful legion, and one that strives for fairness.
I am currently a member, and will hopefully become an officer.

This IS a great legion to join.

Wow a few months and only that many levels gained sounds awesome lol

Also i see you have only 3 places going in your legion i mean 47 players already in your legion and you are still hardcore recruiting im the leader of a legion and when i see legions doin this it just seems stupid anyway good luck recruiting 3 members jeez
