Precepts of the Club

Art. 1. Fighting 
 § 1. It is the duty of each Member to perfect the
							first three degrees of each weapon class.  § 1.1. The order of
								each weapon within each class according to preference:  § 1.1.1.
									Viking Short Sword; Roman Sword; Viking Broad Sword.


									§ 1.1.2. Rusty Mace; Bone Club; Trial Pit Mace.


									§ 1.1.3. Hand Axe; Goblin Axe; Viking Axe. 
								§ 1.2. Combat should prefer, in the main, the first two degrees of each
								class. 
Art. 2. Deportment 
 § 1. Honor shall govern the actions of each
							Member, the particulars of which are subject to the discretion of each Member
							and the scrutiny of his Co-members:  § 1.1. The Good Fight is at
								stake, and never the quick frag.

								

								§ 1.2. Let enemies feed freely between matches, as this furthers the Good
								Fight; but smote your enemy to the ground and insult him should he snack
								mid-fight.  § 1.2.1. Smote your enemy to the ground, should he
									flee and hide in the weapons zone.  § 1.2.1.1. Exception: if there
										rules a barbarous Murder at the Trough, one may, not only out of convenience
										but also to retain one's rightful place between engagements, enter the weapons
										zone. § 1.3. The ground is preferrable
								to the air. Our example is the Greek Phalynx, impervious turtles of the earth:
								let rather the enemy take the air in flight.  § 1.3.1. A thrown
									weapon springs from an unstable situation or creates one where there was none
									before. Throw therefore for a palpable advantage.  § 1.3.1.1. If
										you are caught without a weapon, who can prevent you from a worser death? 
								§ 1.4. Never disgrace your manhood so much as to flee. If you
								find yourself amongst trough-murdering barbarians, or therein limbless, submit
								while taunting or suicide to deprive the murderer of a frag at your expense.
								

								

								§ 1.5. A stowed weapon ("sword up") implies spectatorship, and spectators
								shall be treated as civilians.  § 1.5.1. Taunt on your own time,
									and expect no in-taunt impunity with a naked sword ("sword out"). 
							
Art. 3. Governance 
 § 1. Duties  § 1.1. The Chief
								shall be responsible for overseeing the general membership of the Club, and
								scrutinizing prospective Members.
								

								

								§ 1.2. The Secretary shall be responsible for the moderation of Club
								correspondence and the scheduling of intra- and inter-club rendezvous,
								including but not limited to a bi-weekly Club night and public Tournaments.
								

								

								§ 1.3. The Treasurer-administrator shall be responsible for the
								maintainance of the web presence and everything attendant thereto.  §
									1.3.1. The Treasurer-administrator reserves the right to invest or suspend
									administrative access, and to determine the jurisdictions of such investments. 
								§ 1.4. The Minister of Peace shall be responsible for the silent enactment
								of discipline on the server, and shall not broadcast himself as such to the
								public.  § 1.4.1. Banning shall be used with the utmost care; do
									not ban somebody because of personal differences with them, but because they
									are an objective public nuisance and willfully do not respond to lesser
									measures.
									

									

									§ 1.4.2. Likewise use kicking with care; do not kick in order to assert
									naked authority, but because someone has wilfully demonstrated poor ethical
									behaviour in accordance with our Constitution and has not submitted to verbal
									indications.
									

									

									§ 1.4.3. Importantly, the Minister of Peace should bare his office
									lightly, that is, with discretion; he shall fulfill his role with few words,
									and, when called to action, shall act moderately and in due haste. 
							§ 2. Membership  § 2.1. Election  §
									2.1.1. An Officer submits an applicant for membership, who then comes under the
									scrutiny of the Chief and the advisement of the Officers. The Chief shall
									designate training and testing rituals and submit his recommendation to the
									Officers for a vote; the Officers may then elect to hold a trial by fire. A
									majority vote is sufficient to a elect a Member, but a unanimous ratification
									is required to elect an Officer. An Officer must have already been elected a
									Member. § 2.2. Dismemberment.  § 2.2.1. An
									Officer submits a Member or an Officer for dismemberment, who takes his case
									before the other Officers. A Member may then be called upon at the discretion
									of the Officers to come to his own Defense; an Officer has the unalienable
									right to Defense. A majority vote of the Officers suffices to dismember a
									Member; while a unanimous ratification is required to demote an Officer to a
									Member, and a further vote may be required to dismember him.
