= Article I - Definitions =
The Active Players are all players who have not yet forfeited. An Eldritch
Personality is a character roleplayed by a particular Active Player. In this
rule, "attendee" or "attendees" refers exclusively to Active Players in
attendance; those present who are not Active Players are not "attendees."

= Article II - Timing and Content = 
A voice chat session will be scheduled and held following every complete circuit
of turns and before the next circuit begins. Attendance is not mandatory, but
the voice chat session must be explicitly scheduled.

If desired, any attendee may propose to ignore or supersede any part of the
meeting structure described in this rule. This proposal may be accepted by a
simple majority vote between all attendees. If no such proposal passes a vote,
default to the structure and content described here.

There will be two distinct components to each voice chat session: (1) the
Preamble, and (2) the Eldritch Assembly.

There is no required length for the Post-Circuit Voice Chat, but a guideline is
10 minutes plus 5 minutes per attendee. Typically 5 minutes will be allotted to
the Preamble, 5 to conclude the Eldritch Assembly, and 5 minutes allotted to
each attendee for speeches, roleplay, etc. It is expected (though not strictly
required) that all attendees will say at least a few words.

= Article III - The Preamble ==
== Article III-A - Purposes of the Preamble ==
The Preamble of the voice chat session will serve three purposes:

(1) To commemorate and reflect upon the overall player experience of the
previous circuit of turns,

(2) To generally discuss Nomic (including, but not limited to, clarifications
and personal opinions) and its manifestation in the world of TNS,

(3) To discuss the current legislative process, its effectiveness, clarity, and
fun, and possible revisions which might be made to improve player enjoyment.

== Article III-B - Preamble Conduct and Priority ==
The Preamble is designed to solicit player feedback and keep things fun for
everyone. Accordingly, attendees are expected to participate out of character,
and not as their Eldritch Personalities.

When time is a concern, the Preamble has priority over the Eldritch Assembly. If
it is necessary to extend the Preamble, but the meeting has a limited duration,
the necessary time will be taken from the Eldritch Assembly.

= Article IV - The Eldritch Assembly =
The Eldritch Assembly is dedicated to roleplay, in-character speeches, etc. This
is an opportunity for players to air in-character grievances, celebrate
in-character victories, gain a greater understanding of their Eldritch
Personalties, and strengthen attendees' confidence in roleplay for the upcoming
circuit of turns.

The Eldritch Assembly is, in-universe, assumed to take place within some sort of
building or other meeting space. Eldritch Personalities are not permitted to
leave this space during the assembly. Furthermore, the Eldritch Personalities
are assumed to be the only significant characters in the room; players may not
improvise the presence of other important characters. Likewise, players should
avoid referencing events which would significantly affect the game's universe,
if such events are not already an established part of the lore.
