Raider - Proposed Guidelines

[The Heights]

• Termination of all espionage activity among and between raider regions and defender organizations. This requires mutual removal of spies, sleeper cells, intelligence agents and all forms of clandestine, internal surveillance from the home and satellite/colony regions of raiders and defenders within 48 hours of adoption of this agreement by participating alliances.
  
  
• Defender organizations will refrain from using desparaging terms to describe raider regions, raidernations or raiding activity within the game. Defenders may continue to state their public disagreement with the practice, but must acknowledge that raiderplay (consistent with the rules of NS and this agreement,) is a legitimate part of the game.
  
  
• Definition of "sufficient activity" of acquired target regions to be defined as follows:
  
  Targets with a membership of fifty (50) nations or less must demonstrate activity from at least 1/3 of the total UN membership of that region. In the event that the target region has two (2) or less UN member nations, at least 1/2 of the total membership must display activity within 48 hours of the proposed exit date (i.e., the required proportion of native nations must be active within the two (2) days leading up the proposed date of relinquishment of the target by raider forces.)
  
  For target regions having fifty (50) nations or more, the native nations must select a delegate for endorsement and come within five (5) endorsements of the raider delegate to secure "self-liberation." For example, if ABCA aquires a region and appoints a raider delegate with 25 troop endorsements, the target region must endorse a candidate with at least 20 nations to secure the region's liberation.
  
  If the 50-member plus target does not have a sufficient number of UN members to meet this requirement, then at least 1/2 of the total membership must display activity within the 48 hours leading up to the proposed date of relinquishment.
  
  If the above activity goals are met by the target region, raider region's controlling the target will voluntarily remove forces from the target and surrender control to the native delegate upon expiration of the above-described 48 hour period.
  
  
• Target regions which do not meet the "sufficient activity" requirement outlined above will be allowed to develop as raider colonies without interference or attempted infiltration, liberal or other conduct designed to secure the target's independence by defender organization.
