A complete collection of [[Cyrene Policy and Law]] can be found in the tunnel just outside the [[Cyrene]] gates. It covers the following areas of city life: City Policies, Gleam, Pennons, Anti-Theft Treaty, Skill use, Respect, Citizenship Policy, Citizenship Application, Subdivision of Cyrene, Theft and Shopowners.
'''CYRENIAN POLICY AND LAW'''
[[Category:Documents]]
 
This collection of Policies and Law are not inclusive, but are so that citizen and non-citizen alike might find easy assess to them, and hopefully make everyone aware so they dont unknowingly
break them. Please refer the [[Twelve Tables]] for more information.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
=='''City Policies'''==
This document details the city's policies towards various activities. See CHELP CITYSENTENCES for details of the punishments for transgression of these city policies.
 
'''Contents''':
#Disrespect
#Skill use
#Theft and robbery
#Pikes
#Graffiti
#Totems
#Harvesting
#Gleam
#Pennons
#Icons
#Traps
 
1. '''Disrespect''' - In accordance with the precepts laid out in The Twelve Tables and in CHELP RESPECT, the Senate believes that the greatest crime one citizen can do to another is to disrespect each other. They wish to ensure that our City Channel remains an open avenue of communication, a place where everyone feels comfortable going to when seeking friendly banter or
discussions in general.
 
Profanity, insulting words, and/or derogatory statements on the City Channel will not be tolerated. Please READNEWS CYRENE 998 for a detailed explanation.
 
 
2. '''Skill use''' - As stated in Tables VI and IX of The Twelve Tables, the use of offensive skills or attacks outside of self-defense situations, even in jest, is illegal in this city. See CHELP SKILLUSE for a more detailed breakdown of precisely what is and is not illegal.
 
3. '''Theft and robbery''' - Theft and/or robbery is an severe offence, even when it occurs outside the city walls, and will be punished in accordance with the Anti-Theft Treaty, to which Cyrene is signatory. READNEWS CYRENE 1427 for the full text of the treaty.
 
4. '''Pikes''' - No pikes allowed within city limits or within 2 rooms of the city. (No pikes: Road through a carved tunnel, Tunnel bend. Pikes allowed from Nearing the mouth of the tunnel outward.)
 
5. '''Graffiti''' - Not allowed within city boundaries except for special occasions and only with the express permission of the Senate.
 
6. '''Totems''' - Totems in all public rooms (including shop fronts) within Cyrene may only be tuned as follows: against enemies of the City of Cyrene, for members of the City of Cyrene.
 
Totems in private rooms, including stockrooms, may be tuned against personal enemies and for personal allies.
 
7. '''Harvesting''' - Harvesting within the city limits is restricted to citizens of Cyrene, no special permissions needed. Harvesting within the city limits by non-citizens without special permission by the Imperiate is considered an offense and punishable.
 
Cyrene forestals are encouraged to utilize last harvest and notify the Imperiate via message of any non-citizens harvesting.
 
8. '''Gleam''' - Possession, public usage and sale of gleam is forbidden. See CHELP GLEAM for more details.
 
9. '''Pennons''' - The only pennons authorized to be placed in the streets of Cyrene are those that belong to, and have been officially placed by the city. All other pennons, including personal pennons, are not to be placed upon our streets or in public buildings.
 
House pennons may be placed at or near the entrance to the applicable house, upon consultation and acceptance from either the Security or a Senator. All Cyrene houses are pre-approved to have one pennon each at the Cyrene gates.
 
Shop owners can be authorized to place personal pennons within them, as long as they are aligned with Cyrene values. Personal pennons are authorized for placement upon the pennon owner's land in the subdivision, as long as they are aligned with Cyrene.
 
Destroying any pennons other than one's own personal property is forbidden and considered theft. In such case that an unauthorized pennon within the city needs to be destroyed, it is the express responsibility of the Senate, MoS and MoW. Theft fines/sentences will be used for transgressions of this policy.
 
All pennons placed within Cyrene must be registered with the Minister of Security.
 
10. '''Icons''' - Attacking icons belonging to Cyrenian houses and attacking citizens within local icon areas are both considered enemiable offences upon request of said house leadership.
 
11. '''Traps''' - Setting up and using traps in Cyrene's limits is against the city's laws with three exceptions/conditions.
 
Traps come from the Woodlore skillset and may attack anyone on a personal enemy list of the trap user's. The effects of traps vary, from throwing someone out or hitting them with venoms. Like totems, they may be permanent and stationary. Unlike totems, they cannot be tuned for and against organizations' allies/enemies.
 
The three conditions to being lawfully able to use traps in the city are:
 
1) Cyrene City Guard Members who ARE approved by the Minister of Security may temporarily use traps in assistance of the defense of Cyrene. Approved CCG members may assemble the traps at the request of a Captain, Senator, or the MoS during a time of emergency or problem. The traps will have to be immediately disassembled after the emergency passes. The CCG members who do this MUST ensure no one is on their personal Enemies list other than city enemies during this trap-setting.
 
2) Shop Owners:
 
A. Only Catapult Traps are allowed in shop fronts, providing the following conditions are met:
 
1.  They must be set to eject that person into the street.
2. They must be set to act only against someone going in a down direction (i.e. into the storeroom).
 
B. Other traps may be built in the stockroom (not the shop front or other public areas). The shopowner is responsible to ensure their personal enemy list does not include innocents and that their stockroom is closed/private as not to injure anyone.
 
In Both Cases:
 
A. The shopowner must notify the Chancellor of their intention to put in a trap defence, including type and location, and must affirm that they will ensure that the enemies list of the trap setter is acceptable (see below).
 
B. The shop owner/trap setter must agree to report any problems or difficulties with the trap to the Chancellor and Imperiate, so the policy may be evaluated.
 
C. The shop owner/trapsetter must ensure no one is on their personal Enemies list other than city enemies while the trap is active, and clear the list immediately after arena events. Members of the city and CCG should not at risk to be hit by this trap. (However, uninvited access into a shop storeroom is grounds for enemying outside of reponding to a theft of said shop.)
 
3) Homeowners may place their own traps in their homes in the city's subdivision. Like shopowners, they are responsible for their personal enemy list and must make sure the house is closed and safe from public access. If the doors are open/unlocked and a non-city-enemy gets hit by the trap, it is a violation of the traps, city skillsuse and other relevant policies.
 
Again, in all those conditions, NO members of the Cyrene City Guard or city may be on the personal enemy list of any trap-user. This is in case a city enemy invades and the guards have to respond. No traps should be harming them while they do their job.
 
CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATIONS:
 
FOR CITIZENS: Falls under the Skilluse Policy  
 
NOTE: This policy does not cover intentional violence towards another citizen with malacious intent, which is grounds for ousting and enemying.
 
FOR NON-CITIZENS: Falls under Attack/Murder (Allies will receive education and warning first, as will those who set a trap in Cyrene but it is discovered before it impacts anyone negatively.)
 
NOTE: If MoS requests someone to set a trap, it is their responsibility to ensure the trap is dismantled properly and that the ally is aware of our policy if not a citizen of Cyrene. If traps are not dismantled, the matter will be investigated and addressed as appropriate to the situation. If it is malicious or done outside of these parameters, they are enemied. However, in the case of allies, the MoS is responsible to request traps, and to ensure that whoever is asked to do it knows the need to dismantle and that they are dismantled. If an ally fails to dismantle more than twice even with education and warning, that person's CCG status would be under review.
 
'''City Sentences'''
This document details the sentences enacted for transgression of the city's policies. See CHELP CITYPOLICIES for a more detailed description of the policies.
 
Habitual criminals may be made permanent enemies of Cyrene by majority vote of the Senate.

Explaination of Enemy status (Taken from old chelp enemypolicy)
 
Regular enemy status - Same as the majority of our enemies, a time limit and fine are applied and once all conditions are met, the person should be unenemied. This should be automatic.
 
Indefinite enemy status - There is no time limit applied to such and it will require a Senate vote for a person to be removed from this status, as well as all fines paid. Exceptions can be made as in the case of Aistas fine, as long as a majority Senate is in agreement.
 
Permanent enemy status - Those who are assessed with this status will bepermanent, without exception and should only apply to cases of treason, oathbreaking (HMs must send request), and severe habitual criminals. This designation should be used sparingly and only in the most extreme of cases, as there will be no reversal allowed, ever. Majority vote of Senate required in all cases.
 
Note - If Permanent enemy status is not asked for by the HM on Oathbreaking and the person is placed as Indefinite, the HM must still be consulted prior to ever being unenemied.
