Operations

Shark Island

Shark Island is a small island off the west coast of Shartak, and was claimed by Morgan Freelance for the expedition on the 26th of February, 2006. The island is used as a base and staging post by the Expedition. However, the dastardly Discordian Cargo Cult also claim the island as theirs, and a bitter war rages across the island as a result of this. Although we remain in control of the island, this fighting nessecitates frequent patrols and skirmishes to maintain the influence of the Crown.

To avoid the escalation of hostilities and the destabilising effect this would have on the colonisation of Shartak, the two sides have agreed to confine the conflict to Shark Island, and not attack each other on the mainland.

Currently, negotiations regarding the future of Shark Island are underway. A no-violence zone has been established and clearly marked at [-70.547,+26.414], to allow foreign diplomats and ambassadors to stay on the island.

Field Hospital

The Field Hospital in York offers free healing to all who need it, to aid the spread of civilisation across this dangerous and untamed land.

Derby North Road

The first road to be cleared on the island, the highway ran north from Derby and then turned west towards Wiksik. Forged by a small team of heroic Expeditionaries with the help of several civilians, the road reached Wiksik but then ground to a halt as the brave men came under attack from local headhunters. The maintenance of the road is now the responsibility of the Civilized Highway Society, who have incoporated it into their island-wide road network as the Wiksik-Derby Highway.

Rules and Laws

The following are bills that have been debated and voted on by the members of the expedition, and form the rules and guidelines by which the clan operates. All new bills must pass before the senate, so that the clan develops in a fully democratic fashion to reflect the desires of all our members.

Bill 1

Full Individual Membership in the Royal Expedition

  • To join the clan, players must have an Outsider character (not including pirates)
  • Members cannot be a member of any group which is in conflict with the Royal Expedition
  • Members must swear not to kill other outsiders, except in self-defense, or on the orders of a Captain.
  • Possesion of a Native account is acceptable as long as clause 1 and 2 are respected

This bill was proposed to the senate on the 4th May 2006, underwent two major revisions, and was passed on the 11th May 2006 by 4 votes to 0.

Amendment 1

  • All prospective members of the Royal Expedition must be judged to be of Good Moral Character by the senate before their application is accepted.

This amendment was proposed to the senate on the 23rd July 2006 following a suspected plot to infiltrate the Expedition and thus capture Shark Island. The bill was passed on the 15th August 2006 by 6 votes to 0.

Bill 2

Identity Protection

Please note that this bill was rejected by the Senate, and is recorded here simply for historical reasons.

  • Unless otherwise instructed, full members will have their names removed from the wiki list to protect their identities and not publicly publish our member list
  • There will be a quick contact list on the wiki with the IMs of the foreign affairs and/or the public sercurity departments

This bill was proposed to the senate on the 11th May 2006, and was rejected on the 18th May 2006 by 3 votes to 1.
