From the Office of the President
Executive Order on Rule Enforcement and Complaint Procedures
E01
By the authority vested in the Office of the President, and for the purpose of ensuring fairness, order, transparency, and proper chain of command in the enforcement of server rules, the following procedure is hereby established.
Section 1. Purpose
The purpose of this order is to create a clear and fair process for handling accusations of rule violations. Rule enforcement shall not be handled through public arguments, personal disputes, or direct appeals to the President, except in matters involving Enemy of the State.
Section 2. Initial Reporting
If a player believes that a rule has been broken, that player shall first report the matter to their own R5.
The player shall not bring the complaint directly to the President.
Section 3. R5 Review
The reporting player’s R5 shall review the claim and determine whether the complaint appears to have merit.
If the R5 determines that the claim does not appear valid, the matter may be dismissed at the alliance level.
If the R5 determines that the claim appears valid, the R5 shall proceed with direct communication.
Section 4. R5-to-R5 Resolution
The R5 of the complaining alliance shall communicate directly with the R5 of the alliance accused of breaking the rule.
Both R5s shall make a good-faith effort to review the facts, discuss the issue privately, and reach a fair resolution.
If both R5s agree on what occurred and agree on a solution, the matter shall be considered resolved.
Section 5. Escalation to Complaint Room
If the two R5s cannot agree on whether a rule was broken, or cannot agree on a proper solution, the complaining R5 may bring the matter to the official complaint room.
Once brought to the complaint room, the issue shall be reviewed by the other R5s.
Section 6. Majority Decision
If a majority of participating R5s determine that a rule was broken, the R5s may decide an appropriate punishment, correction, or resolution.
The decision of the majority shall serve as the ruling on the matter.
Section 7. Role of the President
The President shall not serve as the arbiter of ordinary rule disputes.
The President’s role is not to personally judge every complaint, settle every alliance disagreement, or replace the authority of the R5s.
The President shall act as arbiter only in matters involving Enemy of the State, or in other extreme matters directly affecting the security and stability of Server 395.
Section 8. Final Directive
All alliances are expected to respect this process.
Players shall go through their R5. R5s shall communicate with each other first. Only unresolved matters shall be escalated to the complaint room.
This order is intended to protect fairness, prevent unnecessary conflict, and ensure that server rules are enforced by proper leadership process rather than emotion, public pressure, or personal accusation.
