All Syndicate Assault members are subject to these rules, regardless of
rank. The rank of "Founder" has the final word on most if not all matters. The
"Commanders/Generals" are the enforcers of this document about to follow. The "Officers" are the teachers of the rules, protocols and maintain a level of peace among lower ranks of the clan while keeping a high level of gaming activity.
Officers can also be enforcers in a situation that lacks a general. The "Warrant
Officers" are to recruit new members, however all members may
recruit, but the warrant officer's main job is to keep high levels of activity
and bring in active recruits. The "Enlisted" members are expected to keep very
active and teach even newer members important information. They are
anticipated to know the filling of this document before accomplishing the rank
of "Warrant Officer".

The selection of Generals and Officers are up to the current ranking Generals
and Commanders with or without the other knowledge of other members. Founder has the final decision in all new Generals while the General (4*) can decide all new officers. These new Generals/Officers are to be selected by a meeting of current ranking officials at least once a month for Officers and once every few months for Generals unless a problem was to arrive other indicating a need for a meeting.

A majority vote of those in attendance, of at least 75% will be
selected for promotion. However, a General/Commander in the selection of new officers may veto up to no more then two promotions and a Founder can veto any promotions to General/Commander regardless of vote amount. Other members such as current Officers and/or Warrant Officers may be allowed to attend these meetings if the Generals/Commanders agrees to this.

All changes to this document will be added to the document in the appropriate
section. In order for an amendment to gain its way on this document, members
with the rank of "Officer" may propose an amendment, which is then passed to the Generals for approval or denial. At lest 66% of Generals in attendance must approve this proposal in order for an amendment to be added. Alternatively, a Commander may propose an amendment. If, however, a General wishes to propose an amendment, he/she will not be allowed to vote "Yes" or "No" on this amendment, also regarding Commander proposals.

All demotions and/or disablements happen for a reason, there may not be a very good reason but there is a reason. At most times, first offenses will be
warnings followed by demotions and if needed disablements. If an officer gives you a demotion/disable and you feel it was out of line then you will need to contact the generals, they will then investigate and decide whether the
demotion/disablement was proper. The same treatment shall apply to generals.
Depending on the offense, punishments will vary.

after 120 days.

disablement unless they are website support only.

If we need to change these protocols at a later time we shall add the changes in the bottom of the current list, in the form of an amendment. These punishments for the actions defined above cannot go without approval of at least 2 other members, such as an Officer shall not demote a member unless he has approval of two other Officers and a General shall not disable unless they have approval of two other Generals. Members that are allowed to give approval must be of the rank "Warrant Officer WO1" or higher.

» Non-Hostile Return:
If you left SA on NON-Hostile terms in any manner the coming back rules
still applies to you upon returning to the clan. Leaving the clan is a major
issue and it should be dealt with severe punishments upon returning to Syndicate Assault.
Previous rank was anywhere from Brigadier General to General:
Upon your undisablement you will be demoted to Second Lieutenant by the site.

Previous rank was anywhere between WO1 to Colonel:
Upon your undisablement you will be demoted to Sergeant Major by the site.
NOT only that, but the period each promotion will increase a week. So you will
have to wait two weeks between each WO promotion, and three week between each officer promotion.
Coming Back rules can be exempt if and only if AT least three or more generals agree that you can exempt from it. However, the reason must be reasonable, and valid. Commanders will have the final words on it, if it seems necessary.

Section II - Coming Back Rules Hostile

» Hostile Return:
If you left SA on Hostile terms the punishment is MUCH more severe.
Previous rank was anywhere from Brigadier General to General:
Upon your undisablement you will be demoted to the lowest Warrant Officer on the site. Previous rank was anywhere between WO1 to Colonel:
Upon your undisablement you will be demoted to Private First Class on the site. NOT only that, but the period each promotion will increase once every 2 weeks... So you will have to wait three weeks between each WO promotion, and four week between each officer promotion.
Coming Back rules can be exempt if and only if AT least three or more generals agree that you can exempt from it. However, the reason must be reasonable, and valid. Commanders will have the final words on it, if it seems necessary.
Members that have left SA more then three times will not be allowed back
into Syndicate Assault.

The recruiting
policy is always changing, it will never be perfect. Recruiting is open to those
members with the rank of Warrant Officer and higher. At the time this document was created, the recruiting system was based on a "trial membership". Trial members were defined with the tag of "[SAr]" which stood for "Syndicate Assault Recruit". Trial membership is based on what a person played as a game and how many votes he could achieve within ten days of being tested. Voting was also a job of recruiters. Syndicate Assault has always liked members with good manners; however that is not the only thing a person shall be recruited for. People that wish to join must have basic knowledge in the game they play. For example, they know what units belong to a race in Star craft: Brood War and how to achieve making these units. They would also know what units are effective against other or the same races. They should know how to switch weapons when needed, the best way to kill a sniper. How to play the advantages of the map. We do however want members that have respect, little skill and are willing to improve in skill in this clan; we do not want people that just purchased a game 2 days ago and still learning the names of workers for each race and has a complete lack of respect. If the recruiting policy is to ever change it will be amended in the end of this section of the document.

Syndicate Assault does not go out looking for "allies". We do however like
to keep friendly relationships with other communties. Any communities may request a alliance if they are three years young since their date founded, have at least 50 community members, do not endorse or condone hacking, have a decent website with a forum.
Also should have stable leadership, meaning there isn't a power struggle every
other week on who is the next commander.
» Minimum Requirements to ally with [SA]
» Community must be led by a mature leader(s) (No 13 years old kid(s)).
» Community must be at least 3 months old.
» Community must not support the use of hacks and prohibited cheating.
» Community must have at least 50 active members.
» Community must have a decent website, and a forum.
» Community must not be on bad terms with one of our allied communties.

Name changing is dealt very strictly in Syndicate Assault. You are NOT allowed to change your name at all. The only possible way is to speak with and get 70% of the current members to agree with your name change. But you
must provide an explanation about it. If we found it to be false, then you will
be punished for it, punishment includes demotions, revoke of loyalty medals, and possibly disablement from Syndicate Assault.
But for Enlisted members, you will have up to the rank of Command Sergeant Major 3 to decide if you want to keep the name or not. After you have advanced beyond the rank of Command Sergeant Major 3, changing name prohibited. But name changing is possible, and you must face severe consequence for it, which is to start all over again at a private and work your way up again with your new name. Because once you changed your name you are not the same person anymore to the community members, the other members will not look at you as the same person, but someone new cause of the new name. Therefore, you must start over.
