⚡ NAP 9 — Quick Reference Guide

A fast-access operational cheat sheet for Server 1866.

This page condenses the entire NAP 9 workflow into a single actionable document.

If you only memorize one page, make it this one.

🧭 Membership Tiers

🔵 Full Members (9)​

  • Top 9 eligible alliances by weekly power ranking
  • 1 Voting Representative + 1 Alternate
  • Full protection for all lands currently held
  • Council voting rights

🟩 Associate Members (7)​

  • Opt-in, non-voting
  • Protection for held lands up to Level 5
  • Access to evidence submission and announcements

🟥 Non-Members​

  • No protection
  • No case rights
  • Land conflicts handled outside NAP jurisdiction

🗂️ Clerks (Neutral Operators)

What Clerks Do​

  • Validate evidence
  • Assign Case IDs
  • Log cases in #case-log
  • Open + close vote windows
  • Track timelines
  • Maintain archives
  • Run appeals intake + investigations

Requirements​

  • Always neutral
  • No classification authority
  • Three Clerks from different Full Member alliances

🗳️ Voting System (Simple Version)

How a Vote Works​

  • Every Full Member gets one vote.
  • A vote only “counts” once 5 people have voted anything (YES / NO / ABSTAIN). When you hit that minimum, it is called a "quorum".

What the Results Mean​

  • 5 YES → the decision passes (normal cases)
  • 7 YES → the decision passes only for very big actions (blacklists, amendments, expulsions)

Time Limits​

  • 24h — big decisions
  • 16h — normal decisions
  • 8h — emergencies

If all 9 reps vote early → vote ends immediately.

What the Vote Options Mean​

  • YES → approve
  • NO → reject
  • ABSTAIN → “I’m here, but staying neutral” (counts for starting the vote)
  • ABSENT → no vote at all (does not count)

Extra Rules​

  • Votes cannot be changed once posted.
  • Missing too many votes triggers participation review.

🧾 Evidence Rules

Submit to:​

NAP Discord → #evidence

Must include:​

  • Screenshot/video (uncropped when possible)
  • Server Time or corroborated timestamp
  • Offender + affected players
  • ≤3 sentence description
  • Diplomacy logs (if required for that rule)
  • Loss/damage summary when relevant

Invalid evidence:​

  • edited/manipulated
  • cropped to hide context
  • unverifiable/hearsay
  • Discord DMs
  • AI-generated images
  • missing required items after correction window

Correction window:​

  • 6 hours (Clerks may extend to 12–24h for time zones)

🔄 Case Workflow (Mandatory Sequence)

Council cannot act until Step 3 is complete.

  1. Notification

    • Any platform; “heads up” only
    • Does not create a case

  2. Evidence Submission

    • Must be posted in #evidence

  3. Clerk Log Entry

    • Case ID created
    • Logged in #case-log
    • Marked ACTIVE

  • restitution
  • 24–48h Probation

Auto-escalation:

🛡️ Harboring Rule

Harboring includes sheltering:

Consequences​

Grace Window​

  • Associates protected only up to L5
  • Non-Member lands = no protection

📝 Appeals

Eligibility​

  • One appeal per player/alliance per 30 days

Process​

  1. Appeal posted in #appeals (within 48h)
  2. Clerk validates completeness
  3. Investigative Review (24h)
  4. Council 24h vote

Outcomes​

  • 5 YES → reduction
  • 7 YES → overturn
  • Anything else → denied

📉 Participation Rules

In any 14-day period:

  • Miss 2 emergency votes → review
  • Miss 3 total votes → review

Possible outcomes:

🏁 Summary Loop

Notify → Evidence → Clerk Log → Vote → Penalty/Appeal → Archive

NAP 9 functions by following this loop every time, without exceptions.
