Because everybody is going to likely be running different rulesets, I have reserved this post for keeping track of it all. I'm a nice guy like that.
Proposed Societies:
Societies are formal collections of people under one set of rules.
Explicitly exclusive societies are marked in red, explicitly non-exclusive in this shade of blue.

SpoilerSchazer's Sexy Party would now like to release a statement of intent to transmute from a Party into a Collective.
Salient points in regards to the newly-renamed SSC (Schazer's Sexy Collective)
Salient points in regards to the newly-renamed SSC (Schazer's Sexy Collective)
- The Collective would initially wish to note that its original incarnation, Schazer's Sexy Party, was instituted before the Self-Governing Body issued its Articles of the Confederation. As the group had already formed before the S-GB declared its opposition to the formation of groups, members of the S-GB may freely associate with members of the Collective.
- The Collective permits members to participate in the activities of any other group, Group, association, or collection of individuals - where the organisation's interests do not conflict with the continued membership of members in the Collective.
- Entry into the Collective is indicated by an expression of interest, which will be explicitly recognised by the head of the Collective (Schazer). This verbal agreement will be followed up with a change to the applicant's member group on the Eagle Time forums, indicating them as a regular-priveleged user whose name appears beside forum posts with any colour other than the one presently used by Eagle Time's administrators.
- The name of this usergroup, along with its representative text colour, will be agreed upon in the event that the Collective acquires a further member. These details will be changed in future as decided by a majority vote of all of the Collective's members (save for members holding an Admin rank on the Eagle Time Forums).
- Members of the Collective will express a united opinion on all extra-Collective matters. The "party line" on any such matter brought to the Collective's attention will be decided by a majority vote, where all members of the Collective each possess one vote. The "party line" may be amended with a later majority vote with at least two thirds of the Collective in favour of amendment.[/list:u]

SpoilerPresent Party Lines held by Schazer's Sexy Collective:
Chwoka's Notes are considered highly beneficial, and are supported by the Collective.
Members of Schazer's Sexy Collective will request additional membership into Ixcalibur's presently unnamed society.
The Collective will follow an alternative interpretation of the Golden Rule and the Sanzh provision, wherein all weekends (posting local time) mandate the attachment of "cute" pictures of animals (organisms in kingdom Animalia) to posts, and posts at all other times mandate the attachment of pictures of animals in general.

TimeothyHour's Self-Governing Body
Articles Of The Confederation:
Show Content
SpoilerI propose the formation of a group, whereupon a self-governing body may form. One must merely state their intent to join the group, and they will be a part of it. However, there are some caveats to group membership:
One must oppose the formation of groups that are not this group.
Those in other groups or not in a group at all are our opposition: you may try to convince them to join our group, but do not affiliate with them otherwise.
However, you gain several things in exchange:
A constructive experience with others, in order to form a set of rules and ideas instead of hopeless anarchy. This law rule-making process may either be like a classic game of Nomic's or a more collaborative rule making process.
Possibility of a win condition, or other objectives to aspire to attaining.
Consideration of your opinion; acceptance by the group within the game.

Federalist Paper 1

SpoilerIn regards to Pinaryâ??s proposal of joining the group on conditions of the groupâ??s acceptance of URBAN JUNGLE RULE:
Yo, man, that request
Made on your behest,
Could get pretty annoying,
And really quite rude,
So in order to be enjoyinâ??
This awesome rulefest,
Would accept that we merely include?
TRANSLATION: Posting in rap-only style would be tedious for the entire group. I propose that, if we accept the urban jungle rule, that a rap would be included/worked into each memberâ??s post. Please designate if these conditions are acceptable to you, and you will be officially accepted in the Self-Governing Body.
In regards to THE GOLDEN RULE and the SANZ PROVISION:
Adorable picture of corgis and invertebrates are acceptable, but not required for those within the Self-Governing Body.
AMENDMENT TO CAVEATS IN REGARD TO JOINING THE SELF-GOVERNING BODY:
Groups without an explicit law making or governing purpose, but serve for other purposes such as a game or a narrative (i.e. a Grand Battle or Adventure) will be considered â??An Association,â? by the self governing body. Associations are perfectly acceptable for members of the Self-Governing Body to join, but are not required. If there is a question as to if a group is an Association, propose it to The SGB and a ruling will be made.
OFFICIAL ACCEPTANCE OF A MEMBER:
The SGB accepts MrGuy into its ranks. The SGB now officially has two (2) members, who will discuss the terms of rule-making within the SGB in this thread, and eventually reach a conclusion, in order to encourage healthy collaboration.

SpoilerAMENDMENT 3/9/23: ON THE USE OF OTHER COMMUNICATION MEDIUMS IN REGARDS TO THE SELF-GOVERNING BODY, REFLECTIONS UPON THE GOLDEN RULE/SANZ PROVISION, AND ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EENCONOMY, DRAFTED AND WRITTEN BY MRGUY AND TIMEOTHYHOUR, MEMBERS:
Use of other communication mediums in regards to The SGB:
All members of the SGB may use various mediums to communicate and interact with each other, including, but not limited to, Forum Posts, IRC, Private Message, Email, Text, Google Documents, Quicktopics, and Skype or Skypesque programs.
For posterity, the encouragement of discussion, the freedom of information, and transparency within the SGB, from now on a record of all non-private discussion must be presented on this thread. Please appropriately label and structure records as such:
DISCUSSION OF [Topic of discussion or proposed law]: [brief description of topic of discussion or law], [medium of communication], [date]:
[spoiler containing complete log]
The SGB considers private discussions as:
-Trivial questions or questions that can be explicitly understood from the SGBâ??s rules and regulations.
-Private transactions, such as the transferring of Eendollars. (Eendollars are elaborated upon below, in ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EENCONOMY)
-Personal disputes between SGB members.
SGB considers non-private discussions as:
-Legitimate questions in regards to the SGBâ??s rules that may have to be discussed further in order to reach a verdict, discussion of a complex question that reached a verdict.
-Discussions of a proposed rule, the proposition of a rule, or the discussion of an already existing rule.
-Disputes between SGB members in regards to SGB rules and regulations that may have to be discusses further in order to reach a verdict.
If there is a question about the privacy/non-privacy of an interaction, the issue may be brought up before the SGB. This amendment also reserves the right to creative a specific thread, Google document, or quicktopic for the purpose of archiving if the volume of the archives become excessive.
Reflection on THE GOLDEN ROLE/SANZ PROVISION:
Official statement from the SGB:
We accept the wording of the Sanzh Provision to imply the following: 12 PM-12 AM shall be considered Invertebrate Time, and 12 AM-12 PM shall be considered Corgi Time. This rule is not required, however, among our numbers.
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EENCONOMY:
Therefore, to establish a system whereupon prosperity and value could be added to our society, these foundational laws will be paramount to the Eenconomy, named in commemoration of Een, inventor of Eenconomics.
The Eenconomy is based upon a structured currency system, whereupon members of the SGB can buy goods and services, either within this Nomic or the outside world. This currency will be called Eendollars, colloquially to be known as Eens.
As of September 23, 2011, the main purpose of the Eenconomy is the buying and selling of creative internet works, such as writing, art, or a combination of the two. A member of the SGB may sell a work to another SGB member for Eendollars, or a member may commission another number for a certain number of Eendollars.
Members may barter creative works directly, without the use of Eendollars, foregoing the currency entirely.
Although transactions between individuals may differ, the following is the SGBâ??s official acceptance of the worth of an Eendollar, compared to a creative work:
Fanart or small drawing: 1 Eendollar
Small piece of writing, poem, mini-grand post or song lyrics: 1 Eendollar
Large Drawing: 2 Eendollars
Adventure Update: 2 Eendollars
Larger amounts of writing, such as a short story or Grand Battle post: 2 Eendollars
Audio, Video, Massive Artwork or Piece of Writing: 3 Eendollars.
All members of the SGB are immediately given 3 Eendollars and a free, non-massive piece of writing from TimeothyHour.
