🛡️ Welcome to NAP 9

The governance system powering Server 1866​

NAP 9 is the new diplomatic engine of the server. It is a structured, predictable, and transparent system built to replace the improvised chaos and stalled decisions of the old NAP 15 era.

It gives alliances:

  • clear protections,
  • consistent rules, and
  • a functioning Council that actually votes and resolves disputes.

NAP 9 isn’t just a pact! It's an institution with Clerks, Delegates, procedures, evidence standards, and defined expectations for participation.

The Covenant appears expansive at first glance, but it is very manageable when one focuses only on the parts that pertain to an individual's specific role in the NAP.

If your alliance wants stability, fairness, and a calm diplomatic environment, this system is built for you.

⭐ What Makes NAP 9 Different?​

🗂️ Neutral Clerks = fair, consistent process​

Clerks run the procedural backbone of the NAP. They handle:

  • evidence validation
  • case creation + IDs
  • vote windows
  • archives
  • timeline enforcement

R5s no longer need to manage Discord logistics or argue over formatting.

Clerks make the process uniform so every alliance is treated the same.

👥 Delegates = no more silent seats​

Every Full Member alliance designates:

  • 1 Voting Representative
  • 1 Alternate Delegate

This guarantees coverage across time zones and real-life schedules.

NAP 15 collapsed because half the Council was asleep, missing, or busy.

NAP 9 fixes that through simple, flexible representation.

🕒 Asynchronous Voting That Actually Works​

NAP 9 uses time-zone-friendly vote windows:

  • 24 hours – amendments, appeals, major actions
  • 16 hours – standard cases and diplomacy
  • 8 hours – emergencies (active aggression, land crises)

With:

  • Quorum: 5 of 9
  • Simple Majority: 5 YES
  • Supermajority: 7 YES
  • ABSTAIN counts for quorum
  • Votes lock once posted
Early Voting

If all 9 votes arrive early → the window closes early.

The result is fast, consistent decision-making without burnout.

⚖️ Clear, Tiered Case System​

Every incident falls into a behavioral tier:

  • Minor — accidental, low impact
  • Moderate — disruptive or repeated
  • Severe — high impact, coordinated, or malicious
  • Escalation — evasion, tampering, or repeated offenses

Each tier has predictable rules for escalation and review.

No guesswork. No vibe-based penalties. No secret back-channel deals.

🎯 What NAP 9 Delivers​
