Corpus Iuris Curia

[Kristian]

This document is still in the works and has been an ongoing process for a while now. I am going to post this unedited version regardless because it has come to my attention that there seems to be a lot of confusion about the role Curia and it's members have in Ordo. This is an internal Curia document but it might clear up some confusion for the general public as well. Again, it's not finished. Please don't mind the grmmar, i will sort that out as well.

Corpus Iuris Curia

The Corpus Iuris Curia is a document that serves as both a clarifying handbook regarding the regulations , rules, precedents and decisions made by the official of Curia or other additional officials that have been given the power to enforce law, as well as a general guideline for those that possess this power. The Corpus Iuris is not meant to be a permanent document , it requires updating, adjusting and modifications every time the Ordo enters a stage where a new rule is invented or where time and overall culture have a rule leaning towards getting old or slightly outdated. It covers aspects the normal handbook doesn’t and gives guidelines and regulations regarding procedures within the administrative and legal branches of the Ordo Imperialis

[ideology of Justice]

Justice is one of the key elements in any society. Justice serves as the oil in a machine. It’s ment to solve problems regarding many aspects of ones membership in the Ordo Imperialis. That may vary from having an problem with someone else where parties are in need of an impartial referee or because someone is not sure if he or her understand or applies a rule properly. The Officium is there to fulfil these needs, justice in general is there to fulfil those needs. The solid ground people can rely on in uncertain times. In a society with no justice or law enforcement we would find ourselves in a state of war as described by Thomas Hobbes, a state where the survival of the fittest is brought to entirely new level, where the strongest rule, but even the strongest get old and weaker. Ordo can relate to this, as does any society. Physical strength may be less important but the powerful, the intelligent or people that are gifted in another way should be prevented from exploiting their abilities at the cost of others. Curia ensures fairness, equal chances for everyone to fulfil those within their capacity. The Officum is therefore not a subject to the basic ranking structure of the Ordo Imperialis, it is not affiliated or part of any division, it’s not sub ordinary to anyone but the Imperator and although the Consuls may dual enlist, their primary branch will be the Officium .They will be given with the jurisdiction to judge over any Ordo member from C-1 to O-3.

Punishment serves 2 purposes, the actual punishment for the offender in order to get him or her to know the consequences of his or her actions, as well as presenting the victim parties the feeling that a satisfactory redemption has been made for the orginal actions. Justice and punishments should never exceed the standards of purpose. Excessive punishments for minor violations serve no purpose other than that the officials that have been given this power can show this power and Curia will look like an office that emphasises on the punishments, raising the bar to get people to notify Curia of problems that arise. This should be avoided at all times. Curia is there for everyone, from the small to the big problems and not every situation always requires a sanction. Justice is measuring. It should be measured by nothing more than the one major interested that is represented in the case. The Interest of the Ordo . The person that accused the victim is considered part of the Ordo interest because Ordo would suffer from another Ordo member that lost faith in our justice system, on the other hand the Ordo also prefers to keep members and therefore prefers to adjust the behaviour of the violator without him or her feeling that the punishment was to excessive in order to achieve that, another Ordo interest is the public image that shows that certain actions can’t go unpunished. However, when applying this system one should be cautious that Ordo’s interest isn’t always dominant. If every case where to be judged simply by enforcing standards and interpretations that are deemed best for the Ordo one would neglect acknowledging the original roots of the Ordo. The orginal roots of Ordo’s success are the individuals that helped it becoming great, that ranges from long standing veterans that already gave their fair share to the ones that have passed the recruitment procedures and are willing to still join the first category in that aspect. The general belief that Ordo cares for it’s members and is willing to take care for them instead of simply sacrificing them for the greater good at every opportunity is highly valued .It is considered a key element in our organization.It keeps Ordo alive, it underlines the general belief that an Ordo member is more than just another face in the crowd and it serves as the foundation for a fair trial, therefore this is also Ordo’s interest.

[sOURCES OF LAW]

To understand the Corpus is to first and foremost the system of law. A basic understanding of the regulations is sufficient for an average enlisted Ordo member to function in the Ordo according to the general belief of well-behaving. Officials of Curia get the power and responsibility to apply law, to adjust law, to destroy law and to create it.

In the Ordo we have 4 official sources of law. The sources are, in order of importance:

[1.0 The Ordo Imperialis Handbook]

1.1 . This is the primary source of law we have in the Ordo. It is a document that is considered to be the highest valued document the Ordo has and all other regulations and decisions have to correspond with the regulations stated in this document.

1.2 The Imperator can make adjustments to the Ordo handbook, he doesn’t require consent from the Administratio to do that. However he can to give a more democratic foundation to the adjustment.

1.3 No one except for the Imperator and the Consuls (seconduous and primus) are allowed to interpret or clarify the rules beyond the scope of the obvious clarification. This includes but is not limited to : making exceptions or applying it to cases the rule wasn’t meant for.

1.4 Laws as described in the Ordo handbook apply to both Ordo’s as non-Ordo’s unless the rules are specifically directed at Ordo personell

[2.0 The Decretum]

2.1 The Decretum are all decisions made by the Imperator (I-1)

2.2 The decisions in the Decretum cannot be overruled by anyone

2.3 The decisions in the Decretum are to be applied as if they were rules from the Ordo handbook unless the situation occurs as described in sub 2.4

2.4 If a decision of the Decretum does not correspond with a rule in the Ordo handbook the decisions results as described in the Decretum will be executed however, these will be limited to the incident , circumstance or event the decision was made for and is not to be applied outside of that case or cases that are similair to the point where only the subjects of the incident differ ( aka, different persons). This does give the Decretum a precedence over the Ordo handbook but due the limited reach of it’s effects the Decretum can be considered inferior to the wide all embracing reach of the Handbook

2.5 The Decretum can overrule the Handbook even to the point where a regulation in the handbook will be consider forfeit if the Imperator changes/removes/orders Curia or intends to change or remove that Handbook rule.

2.6 Laws of the Decretum serve as mandatory for non-ordo’s if the regulation states or implies this.

[3.0 Precedents of the Officium]

3.1 Precedents of the Officium Curia are interpretations and clarifications of all existing regulations we enforce in Ordo. This is to ensure that rules are being kept up to date and are being applied in an appropriate manner This consists of both the written ones ( Handbook/Decretum/) as the non-written ones ( fundamental laws)

3.2 Precedents can interpret a regulation beyond the scope of the immediately obvious explanation in order to achieve the most appropriate results that correspond with the general believe of justice as described in chapter: Ideology of Justice

3.3 Precedents always have to correspond with Ordo handbook laws but don’t have to correspond with the Decretum unless the Decretum law fills in a grey area that is not covered by the Handbook regulations

3.4 Precedents serve as a source of law for the entire organization and every member of the Ordo Imperialis and address every member of the ordo imperialis but not the people outside the Ordo unlike the Ordo handbook. No rule of Officium Precedence can be held against a non-ordo.

3.5 The Imperator can decide to elevate an Officium precedent to Decretum or Handbook law level.

[4.0 Fundamental laws]

4.1 Fundamental laws are common laws or courtesy laws. They are unwritten laws that are enforced because they are either simply assumed or because the other regulations have not filled in that grey area. As long as judicial area is not filled in, the Officium can still enforce law here based on the fundamental laws. These could be described as decency laws.

4.2 Fundamental laws will disappear once they have been added to any of the other official sources. When you disregard the other sources of law, the fundamental laws remain.

4.3 Every member of the Ordo has the right to bring up an issue that may be subject to fundamental law in order to elevate it to another source of law as described above under the following circumstances:

1: The situation as described must be serious and real enough to consider. Far fetched theories cannot be subject of one of these tests

2: The person that brings it up must be directly or indirectly involved in the situation that has led to bringing up this question. Hearsay is not enough to bring a case to Curia’s attention

3: The case or presumed incident that would be subject to fundamental law must not be a potential subject of any of the other sources of law. If the situation could possible be shared under one of the other law sources it will not be considered .

Example: Someone is looking for someone else to take over OIC desperately, Veteranus Bob declines because he is supposedly busy but 5 minutes later he’s found dancing around with a couple of milites. This is a violation of courtesy standards, where Ordo regulations don’t provide any rules that cover this subject and the case meets all the requirements as summed up in 4.3

[sOURCES OF SECONDARY LAW]

We have 3 Secondary sources of law, one internal one and 2 external ones. Because these 3 cannot be combined with each other they are in no particular order.

[5.0 Officer Decisions]

5.1 These are not included in the official sources of law because they don’t have a permanent effect. The effects of OIC orders are temporary and don’t have a serious influence on the Ordo regulations

5.2 Decisions made by the Administratio need to have Imperator approval and are therefore considered as Decretum decisions

5.3 Decisions made by the High council need to have imperator approval and are therefore considered Decretum decisions

5.4 The Imperator may appoint an officer to look after his duties during temporary absence. In that case the Officer is to be considered as member of the Office of the Imperator and has full authority over the Ordo Imperialis spare 3 rules

5.4.1 The temporary appointed officer that fulfils the duty of Imperator is not allowed to assume full command of the Ordo, effectively overthrowing the absent and actual Imperator

5.4.2 The Administratio can veto decisions of the acting-Imperator with a 2/3 majority in voting if these decisions apply to “Major Diplomacy, Internal regulations, Changing/Removing/Adding Handbook Regulations, Financial Aspects, Simbuilds, Structure overhauls and decisions to invite or eject members.

5.4.3 The acting Imperator will be subject to Curia sanctions as if he were an ordinary member. He cannot be prosecuted for any violations he made in the light of his position as acting-imperator. Any other violations that are not implied or could reasonably occur while fulfilling his or her temporary position are still subject of Curia’s authority

5.4.3.1 The Officium Curia is limited on its authority in this situation if it comes to ejecting said officer.

5.4.3.2 The Officium has the right to relief the Acting-Imperator of his or her position when the acting imperator has made major breaches of conduct or regulations, when him or her seriously damages or threatens to damage the Ordo and the Administratio has unanimously agreed that the acting-imperator should be relieved his or her position ( minus the vote of the acting imperator). All of these components must have been met.

5.4.3.2 The new acting Imperator will be the next in line of succession. [Praefectus of the guard]->[Legates of Astra]-> [Legates of Terra]->[ Primus of Curia]-> [(Internus) Primus of the Frumentarii]

[6.0 Treaties]

6.1 Treaties are primarly considered as a secondary non official source of law for Ordo

6.2 Internal regulations may elevate Treaty regulations to any level of precedence except for higher than the Ordo handbook. This because the Ordo handbook is our highest document and it’s not entitled to give any other document the right to take precedence over itself. It’s power is only limited to his own maximum power.

6.3 Treaties where the Ordo gives away parts of its sovereignty are considered Decretum decisions so the Imperator remains the right to end or destroy those decisions.

6.4 The representatives of the Ordo Imperialis remain the right to accept a treaty with certain exceptions regarding its contents. The other members of the treaty party cannot hold these parts that are subject of the exception against Ordo, Ordo also loses the right to hold those exceptions against anyone else in this case.

6.5 The excluded parts of the treaty cannot be the core elements of the treaty.

[7.0 Foreign Regulations]

7.1 Foreign regulations are rules made by other militaries or orginal official habitants of simulators Ordo enters, resides in or combats in.

7.2 Foreign regulations take no precedence over Ordo regulations when representing the Ordo Imperialis although when one has not been instructed to follow the Ordo regulations one must assume that he or her should obey the Foreign regulations without violating the Ordo ones unless stated differently. This typically means that one has to restrict the rights one would enjoy in Ordo to correspond with the foreign military rules but is not allowed to expand it’s rights according to the foreign military rules if Ordo does not give him or her said rights. Example: If it says no flying but nuking is okay, it means you can’t fly although ordo allows it, but you can’t nuke either because Ordo prohibits it

7.3 When directly approached by a foreign representative regarding regulations one should inform their respective OIC. That OIC is permitted to act as he or her deems to be the most appropriate in that situation as long as he or her does not damage Ordo relations with said military more than could be expected from said officer in said situation. He or her should try to maintain the current situation or improve it if said officer knows that the Ordo actually seeks a different relation with said military or group.

[FUNDAMENTALS OF THE OFFICIUM]

1.0:The Officium is split up in 3 equally important subdivisions with an emphasis on a different subject

1-1: The Primus Consul leads the first department which consists of policy making and general investigation, he is permitted to give said permission to a Secondary Consul for specific cases or policy making in general. The Primus has the right to end this situation at any time for no specific reason.

1-2 A secondary Consul leads the department of Application investigations and Recruitment affairs. This Consul has some cross branch authority because he/her is entitled to look into Schola affairs ( both applications and training), move Schola affairs to Curia’s department, undo Schola decisions if there are grounds to support that action. All of these decisions have to be properly motivated to the Schola Commandant or Frumentarii Primus ( primus only has to be informed when it concerns security reasons the Schola commandant is not entitled to take knowledge of)

This Consuls directly oversees the Curia staff members that carry the lictor position.

1-3 A secondary Consul oversees the conflict management division. This Consul has the right to investigate possible conflicts by him/herself or respond to the request of an Ordo member to do this. This Consul has the right and responsibility to look after the well being of Ordo members, preferably prevent problems from occurring, if they occur, solving them in a preferably peaceful manner and sanctioning parties in one of the conflicts that is the subject of the departments attention. He or her oversees the Officium staff that carry the Consilator title.

[2.0 Additional positions and tasks for the Officium]

2.1 Members of the office of the Imperator or members appointed by him but not really part of the day to day staff of the Officium may be part of the Officium because the nature of their job is either legal , administrative, involves conflict management or can be shared under Curia’s flag for any other reason.

2.2 Additional departments can be added to Curia’s jurisdiction, these may find their roots in internal creation or are the result from Treaties. The Primus Consul or the Imperator can share these under the jurisdiction of either the Primus or one of the Secondary Consuls

[PROCEDURES FOR THE OFFICIUM]

[3.0 Acknowledging Cases]

3.1 The Officium has the right to make every member of the standard divisional Ordo structure subject of one or multiple of its verdicts because of the original intention behind creating the the Officium as well as multiple regulations that state the jurisdiction of the Officium.

3.2 The Officium has the right to make members of the Praetorian Guard subject of one or multiple of its verdicts by Decretum law. (this means, Curia must have permission from the Imperator). The Praetorian Guard serves as a part of the office of the Imperator and the Officium curia is a subordinate to the office of the imperator. This document attaches itself to the general belief that no one/document is entitled to exceed it’s own power and refrains from placing Praetorians within her jurisdiction whereas the original intent of the Guard was that they only answered to the Imperator or the person or department he has given authority to do that.

3.3 The Officium does NOT have the right to make decisions regarding it’s own Consul staff members, the Officium is obligated to forward any document or case that asks them to make a verdict that will be directly and individually aimed at one of the Consuls to the office of the Imperator. The

3.4 The Officium does acknowledge of any cases that involve a Non-Ordo as a subject of the possible verdict.

3.5 The Officium can acknowledge cases where the subject of the verdict is an Ordo , even if the incident has been brought to Curia’s attention by a non-Ordo. The Non-Ordo will not be involved in the internal procedure, nor will he/her be made aware of the verdict.

3.6 The Officium is not required to acknowledge cases between Ordo members that are in the personal atmosphere outside of the Ordo group and it’s soil as long as it does not affect the performance, overall atmosphere and camaraderie in the Ordo

[4.0 Position of the Curia representatives]

4.1 The regulations in this article go for all Curia representatives, from Lictors to the Primus unless stated otherwise

4.2 Curia Representatives are neutral and should never express their personal opinion on Curia related matters in a public environment.

4.3 Consuls are considered as officers and can state their opinions within the Administratio sections as if they were another voting member.

4.4 Curia Representatives don’t speak on their own behalf but on behalf of the Officium so they should refer to themselves as “The Officium or The Ordo” in cases.

4.5 When a case intends to have an effect for more than just one person and therefore is considered a precedent or should be considered as something that could be used to restrict or give rights to others as well, the curia representative should refer to the person as “subject” or other general terms as “people, Ordo’s , non-ordo’s, hostiles”

4.6 Requirements to join the Officium are backwards compatible, which means that any member of the Officium that is subject of a Curia sanction can be removed from his or her position because of the general belief that Curia members should have clean records. Curia is allowed to raise disciplinary standards in comparison to the normal disciplinary standards in order to ensure that it maintains the professional image it needs to be considered as a proper institution to judge others.

4.6.1 Exception for Consuls based on 3.3 under [3.0 Acknowledging cases]. The Imperator has to deal with cases regarding the Consuls and sub Consuls because of potential conflicted interests.

4.7 The Consul staff has to keep a professional distance from the lower staff in order to avoid conflicted interests when incidents with Officium staff members arise. Specifically, the lower staff members are NOT allowed by discretion of the internal Officium decides to deal with Consul duties. Decretum decisions can allow this. This is because that the lower staff of Curia is primarily considered as divisional ranked members and not as Curia staff members, therefore they are subject to Curia’s jurisdiction as if any other normal Ordo would, unlike consuls who enjoy immunity when it comes to Officium verdicts

4.7.1 The Imperator can decide to temporarily suspend or dismiss a consul from his position during an investigation against this consul.

4.7.2 Exception to 4.7 is when a Consul knows/intends/or is likely to step down from his or her position within a time limit of 3 months him or her is allowed to appoint another Ordo or lower staff member to assist him or her in the Consul duties in order to train this person to become said Consul’s successor. This sub Consul will enjoy the same Officium Immunity as the normal Consuls unless the sub Consul has not properly started the Consul observations/training or has started those but only to the point where it’s neglectable.

[5.0 Internal Expectations]

5.1 Curia officials have to properly motivate every decision they make either by presenting the facts that have led to the decision and how those take precedence over other facts that may have led to a different conclusion if they would be considered to have more influence or/and by sharing the line of thought and considerations the Officium made in order to make a judgement.

5.2 The Officium is required to acknowledge and deal with every case brought to her attention if that’s within the boundaries of significance and in correspondence with the general regulations in this document and within a reasonable amount of time and while maintaining a reasonable thoroughness

5.3 The Consul staff or/and the Imperator can ensure that the expectations in 5.1 and 5.2 are being met with sanctions or additional options for the internal Officium staff or those involved.

5.4 Every case regarding applications, Incident reports and administrative threats to the jurisdiction and function of regulations automatically fall within the boundaries of significance as long as it’s brought to Curia’s attention by those that are entitled to do so.

5.4.1 For applications and recruitment affairs only the Schola Administratio and the Frumentarii/ Agentes in Rebus are permitted to bring cases to Curia’s attention

5.4.2 For Incident reports every member of the Ordo Imperialis and Schola are permitted to bring a case to Curia’s attention as long as it corresponds with the regulations laid down in this document.

5.4.3 Everyone can bring administrative threats to Curia’s attention. Curia has the right to forward those to the Administratio, Agentes in Rebus or the Office of the Imperator of it considers that more appropriate.

5.5 The Officium is required to ensure that all parties in cases get the chance to defend themselves, share their opinions or make Curia aware of any Information they have to offer.

5.6 The Officium is under no circumstances allowed to prosecute or make anyone a subject of its verdict if the requirements in 5.5 have not been met. The verdict would be invalid

5.7 The Officium has to offer everyone the opinion to challenge the verdict by presenting a member of the Office of the Imperator

5.7.1 The Imperator can declare decisions of the Officium invalid

5.7.2 The Imperator can appoint a legal representative that oversees the legal decisions in the Ordo. This person can declare the decisions of the Officium invalid in the case of:

1- The Officium has neglected to maintain the proper standards of motivation, fairness and other core rights that have been summarized in this document

2- The representative feels that the Officium has interpreted the regulations in the wrong way

5.8 The legal representative will not look at the actual facts as have been investigated and considered proven by the Officium. He takes those for granted and simply looks at the process of deciding as mentioned in 5.7.2 no matter if these facts are challenged by any of the parties in the case.

5.9 The Officium is obligated to reconsider its verdicts if new facts arise that may reasonable lead to a different conclusion

5.10 The Officium has to accept every individual as a valid witness or reference in cases.

5.10.1 The Officium can declare the facts the individual/witness has to bring to the table as invalid if him or her:

1- Has a reputation that him or her has a habit of making major ToS violations

2- Has a reputation that him or her actively seeks the destruction Ordo or disturbance of public order within Ordo

3- is presenting facts that are proven to be wrong or untrue

4- If the person is consider (temporarily) emotionally unstable

5- if the person has a conflicted interest that may trouble him or prevent him from potentially speaking the truth. (Note: This can only be used in cases where conflicted interests are not presumed such as vouching for an application of a friend of yours)

6- if there is a risk of bias

5.11 The Officium is not allowed to force anyone to serve as a witness or reference in any case

5.11.1 The Office of the Imperator and the Agentes in Rebus can force someone to serve as a witness or reference if they deem this necessary in the light of their daily activities. For Agentes in Rebus this would mean that the Ordo is being threatened.

5.12 The Officium has to make all his verdicts and decisions publicly known to all Ordo’s by publishing these or by any other means necessary. This is because it gives Ordo members insight in the daily procedures of the Officium, giving them the security that they know how the laws and regulations are being applied.

5.12.1 The Officium can decide to modify the contents of the verdict to address a general public and ensure privacy for the actual subject of the verdict, however this is not mandatory but up to Curia’s discretion if they feel that the reputation of the original subject may be damaged to much comparing to the actual offence.

[ 6.0 Decisional Jurisdiction]

6.1 The Officium has the power to enforce regulations within the Ordo by using disciplinary measurements as long as the components of a proper trial and motivation have been met, as laid down in this document

6.2 The Officium has the right to force parties to make an agreement and attach sanctions to failure to meet the expectations that are the result from the agreement

6.3 The Officium is permitted to demote, eject, suspend or rankfreeze someone. These actions don’t require explicit Imperator approval so the Imperator can refrain from getting involved if he so chooses but he must be informed prior to make such decision to give him the chance to veto or approve said decision. The next chapter [7.0 Details of Disciplinary measurements] will cover these in detail

6.4 The Officium is NOT allowed to hand out disciplinary measurements that are considered as ordinary punishments such as running laps.

6.4.1 Consuls are allowed to order disciplinary actions as mentioned in 6.4 but they would do that individually as Officers and not as Curia representatives.

6.5 The Officium has no diplomatic , political or foreign jurisdiction and is therefore not allowed to deal with any cases that are not internal Ordo

6.6 Exception to 6.5 is when the subject of the case would apply to Ordo. Applicants are considered as Ordo’s in this case as far as jurisdiction goes, however the mentioned disciplinary measurements cannot be executed against this person. Instead the Officium can decide to accept or deny said applicant based on that

6.7 The rule as described in 6.7 is backwards compatible. Ordo members can bring up cases to the Officium regarding the applicant even if the applicant was not in Ordo at that time. This is limited to one year back. Cases over a year old will not be considered unless the case also involves Linden Labs and possible banishment

6.7.1 This year is counted a actual playing year, being away or inactive for a year does not count. Inactivity for 2 years would have this effect tho, unless the case also involves Linden Labs and possible banishment

6.7.2 The cases brought to the Officiums attention regarding article 6.7 should not be the result of reasonable hostility between opposing factions but should overly aggressive or not fitting in a normal situation. The boundaries of normal behaviour between hostiles is given a rather wide interpretation

[DETAILS OP DISCIPLINARY MEASUREMENTS]

The disciplinary measurements that can be given out by the Officium will be summed up here in ascending order.

[1.0 The Official warning]

1.1 The Official warning is an unique option because the Officium has the right to not punish an action that otherwise would have been punished but decides not to and give an official warning instead.

1.2 Official warnings can only be given out once for a particular incident within a period of a year.

1.3 Only 3 official warnings can be given out maximum, regardless if the rules that have been violated differ in those 3 cases

1.4 No more than 5 Official warnings will be given out to anyone in his or her entire Ordo career, no matter if someone has resigned in between.

1.5 Official warnings have the effect that a punishment will be heavier/lasts longer/or will be from a higher category if the situation occurs again or exceeds the amount of 3 warnings within the given amount of time.

1.6 Official warnings can only be given out if the Officium can confide in the fact that the offender regrets his or her actions and will refrain from doing it again.

1.7 The Officium is required to give out an official warning for minor regulation violations if the offender has a perfectly clean record.

1.8 The Officium is not required but can decide to give out official warnings regarding incidents of Friendly fire, insubordination , general disturbing behaviour and purposely un-cooperating with fellow Ordo’s where this falls within their job description

1.9 The Officium is NOT allowed to issue an official warning in cases of treason, suspicion of espionage, rampage ( shooting multiple ordo’s on purpose) and major disturbing behaviour. The Officium is obligated to sanction these actions with a sanction from one of the higher categories.

1.10 The Officium can decide to consider an Ordo member or cadet a persona non grata unlike the actual definition this allows the subject of that decision to stay within Ordo but has immediately forfeit the right for Official warnings and will be immediately face punishments from the higher categories if the situation occurs.

1.10.1 Persona non grata declarations can only be given out to people that have a reputation of disturbing behaviour.

1.10.2 The persona non grata must be informed by this decision prior to making it, specifically for applicants who have to agree with this as a condition for their acceptance.

1.10.3 A persona non grata declaration can only be given if at least 3 people have voiced serious concerns about this person unless 1.10.4

1.10.4 A persona non grata is also someone that exceeded the amount of official warnings in 1.3 and 1.4

[To be continued..]

[Nrom Normandy]

I had an opportunity to read through this a couple weeks ago and it really is a good representation of what this group is capable of providing to the Ordo Imperialis. I also believe that after you have read this you will lose a lot of misconceptions about what it actually does. It's not complete, but it has really changed how I go about my role as Lictor daily and how I interact with personnel throughout the organization.

[Agares Tretiak]

We also posted major offenses, I think, in the Policy section of the forums, if anyone is curious what sort of broad based heretical and treasonous acts the unworthy can participate in...
