GAYANASHAWOGA

The Binding Law as of this day Feb 5th 2006

Tribes and Elite Units

1)	Any and all members of the Indian Alliance(IA) may choose any existing tribe as their club tribe, with the exception of The Six Nation tribes. A tribe not listed on the IA website can be selected, but would have to be approved with the concurrence of the IA Chief and the Lords of the Council. If a member selects a tribe that already has a member assigned, then those two IA members must select a tribal clan. The IA chief may need to deploy sub-commanders from time to time. These sub-commanders are part of a small group of tribes and their responsibility is to communicate on a quarterly basis to the tribes that are part of their command group. The communication may be done more frequently and they will receive a monthly stipend of OBD points as compensation for this communication
2)	An IA member can become a �Prophet� once they reach 300 OBD points. This is optional and not a requirement when the IA member reaches the 300 OBD point level. If someone elects to become a Prophet, they carry that title on the IA website; they immediately are eligible to be a Council Lord as a Pine Tree Chief. You may not be a Council Lord from one of the Six Nations and a Prophet at the same time. A Prophet does not have to have a club match in progress to be considered active. However, a Prophet must either join the Club's training staff and be involved in the training of all new IA members,  or choose to produce a quarterly newsletter for the IA. The only gaming criterion of a Prophet is that they must have participated in a MPG during the last year of IA membership. All Prophets must be sanctioned by the Council of Lords
3)	An IA member can become Chief of a Six Nations Tribe. To become a Lord of a Six Nations tribe and sit on the Grand Council, you need to have 500 ODB points. If a member wants to become Lord of a Six-Nation tribe, he makes that request to the IA Chief who submits his name to the Council Lords for approval. As is the case for other tribes, if an IA member selects a tribe that already has a member, then both chiefs must select a clan. If approved, the member is now a Council Lord and carries the appropriate title for that Tribe on the IA website. A Six Nations Lord is automatically a member of the Council of Lords and they are not required to have an active game going in the IA to be considered active as long as they are an active participating member of the Council Of Lords. All requests to become a member of the Six Nations must be sanctioned by the Council of Lords.
4)	An IA member can become a War Chief of one of the Six Nations tribes under the following conditions. Attain 150 OBD points, there must be an existing Council Lord for the Six Nations tribe in which the applicant wishes to become War Chief, the applicant cannot be both a Prophet and a War Chief and approval by the council

Council of Lords

The Council of Lords is an advice and consent body that supports the efforts of the IA Chief. Members of the Council of Lords include the IA Chief, any Chiefs of the Six Nations, the Six Nations being defined as Mohawk, Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida and Onondaga, and any chief designated by the IA Chief as a �Pine Tree Chief�. Any IA member can be designated a Pine Tree chief at the discretion of the IA Chief. A Pine Tree Chief is usually an IA member who has distinguished themselves with their battle record, service to the club, or other above average activity that warrants a position of leadership. Terms of Service for a Pine Tree Chief on the Council of Lords is for one year, but with a majority vote of the current Council of Lords and acceptance by the club member, the Pine Tree Chief may sit on the Council for another term. Once removed from the Council either voluntarily, or by majority vote of the council, the Pine Tree Chief can no longer carry the title of Pine Tree Chief. Any Six Nations Chief is a permanent member of the Council of Lords, until they leave the club for whatever reason, become non-participatory as a Council Lord, or elect to leave the Six Nations to join another tribe. An IA member cannot be a Pine Tree Chief and a Six Nations Chief at the same time, nor may a Six Nations Chief be a Prophet at the same time

Participation Incentives
5)	Any member of the IA who wins a club bounty will be awarded a Golden Eagle feather which will be displayed on the IA website

6)	Any member of the IA who starts a MPG with another IA member, or starts an online game, not maneuver, will be awarded a Red Tailed Hawk feather, which will be displayed on the club website. The IA term for this activity is called a �Warparty�. A Warparty should be formed with a posting in the Haudenosaunee, or Longhouse Forum
