Membership Tiers

NAP 9 recognizes three states. Your state determines protection, voting, and land rights.

🔵 Full Members (NAP 9)​

  • Who: Top 9 alliances by weekly power ranking that opt into NAP 9.
  • Representation: 1 Voting Representative + 1 Alternate.
  • Rights: Full NAP protection, L1–L6 rights, Council vote, rotation eligibility.
  • Expectations: Vote on time, honor penalties, enforce land rules.

🟩 Associate Members (Max 7)​

  • Who: Opt-in alliances seeking protection without voting.
  • Rights: L1–L5 protection, may submit evidence, may attend meetings.
  • Restrictions: No Council vote, no L6 rights, no rotation eligibility.
  • Cap: Strictly limited to 7 alliances.

Admission (First-Come, First-Serve)​

  1. R5 posts petition in NAP Discord → #associate-applications with alliance name, R5 + Discord ID, and acceptance of NAP rules.
  2. Clerk verifies: not blacklisted, not harboring blacklisted players, meets eligibility, slot available.
  3. If space is open, admission is automatic—no vote required. If full, alliance enters the waiting queue by timestamp.

Loss or Removal​

  • Voluntary opt-out → immediate loss of all protections and 7-day cooldown to reapply.
  • Removal by Simple Majority for non-response, refusal to follow rulings, interference, or harboring blacklisted players. Vacancies fill from the queue.

🟥 Non-Members​

  • No NAP protection and no governance rights.
  • Cannot submit evidence or create cases.
  • L6 must be released immediately; NAP may seize if not.
  • L1–L5 may be held but are unprotected—others may take them without penalty.

Status Changes at a Glance​

  • Drop from Top 9 → lose Full seat; next ranked alliance may enter.
  • Opt-out → protections end instantly; L6 must drop.
  • Expulsion → Supermajority vote; mirrors opt-out consequences plus 30-day rights loss.
  • Reinstatement → petition + Simple Majority + compliance with outstanding rulings.***
