The raiser of a concern may assign a time limit to the debate, with a minimum of one week. If debate is not closed by the time limit, the votes will be tallied, and the motion with the most votes will either pass or fail depending on whether it met the threshold. The effects of the motion itself can also be assigned a time limit, after which it will be automatically repealed.
!!!7.2.6 Threshold
The threshold for which a vote on a motion must receive support in the form of approval votes is dependent on the precedence of prior motions that it may conflict with. A motion that conflicts with one or more prior motions must receive a number of approvals minus disapprovals equal to or in excess of any of the prior motions involved. Regardless, the number of approvals must exceed the number of disapprovals and at least two non-abstaining votes must be tallied for a motion to pass.
!!7.3 Elections
At any time any member of a council may propose an election or recall to install or remove a member from any position that is held or could be held on the council that they are a part of. There are no specific term limit requirements regarding positions, although they may be optionally included in the motion at the discretion of the Council.
!!!7.3.1 Contests
If there are multiple knights who wish to fill a councillorship, a separate election motion should be proposed for each. Should more than one of these motions pass, then the one with the highest number of yea votes after nay votes are subtracted will be considered the winner of the contest and granted the position.
!!7.4 Authority
Higher councils have the power to supersede decisions of lower councils. Councils can also affect the decisions of other councils by passing motions that exceed the voting precedence threshold.
!!7.5 Decrees
A chair of a council may issue temporary decrees on behalf of the council they chair. This is in effect a motion that immediately passes without any debate. However, a time limit must be specified for the effects of the decree, with a maximum limit of one week. Obviously, this power should be used sparingly, and only when there is a significant need for immediate action. Like all motions, they may later be affirmed or overruled by another motion. Decrees may not be issued if they would conflict with an existing unrevoked motion. In an emergency, decrees can be used to make temporary appointments to positions that have been vacated.
!!7.6 Conflicts
Should any two or more motions of equal standing conflict, the newest motion should prevail, given that in order for such a motion to pass, it must exceed the threshold requirements set by the precedence of the prior motions. If two motions pass at the same time, the one with the higher number of Yeas after Nays are subtracted shall take precedence.
!8 Membership Identification
In order to prevent duplication of votes, each voting member must create an online account in the forum with a real name that matches a real world financial payment account, which the voting member must make a recurring subscription donation to Dreamyth from to prove their unique identity and maintain the active status of their title.
!9 Missions
The standard action procedure of the team is for a council to pass a motion authorizing and declaring a mission and assign knights and/or mages to it. A mission is an activity with identifiable long-term objectives or goals. Missions can be subdivided into sub-missions according to necessity.

!1 Mission
The Grand Mission is the meaning and purpose that justifies the existence of Dreamyth.
!!1.1 Joy
Joy is true happiness. It is a universally positive conscious experience. The truth of joy is what makes life worth living. We strive to maximize the joy in all possible worlds for all possible beings throughout all of eternity.
!2 Principles
These principles form the core foundation behind everything else about Dreamyth.
!!2.1 Dream
Dreams are essential to living a meaningful life. When we dream, we imagine a state of the world that could be, rather than what is. This enables us to create the future.
!!2.2 Myth
Our culture is built on myths. These range from obviously fictional narratives, to complex notions like nationhood. In a sense, myths are shared structures of the mind. Thus, the responsible construction of them is essential to advancing our civilization.
!!2.3 Independent
Being independent means not being beholden to the interests of outside owners. We are free to act according to what we believe is right, rather than obedience to the bottom line.
!!2.4 Development
To develop is not limited to software. Developing simply means that we create tangible works that are of some actual benefit to someone somewhere.
!!2.5 Team
Working together and cooperating on projects enables us to do more than what each of us individually could have achieved. It means that our organization is structured as flatly as possible rather than creating convoluted hierarchies of management.
!3 Foundations
The foundations are systematic paradigms of thought that will support our efforts to accomplish the grand mission.
!!3.1 Glory
Glory is a kind of moral currency. It is the basic unit of honour. The ledger records the following elements.
⚑ Titles are unique identifiers for an account of currency.
★ Glory are the basic unit of honour.
♥ Grace represents honouring others.
🌠 Medals represent receiving honour.
⚔ Wrath represents denouncing others.
⚠ Strikes represent being denounced.
!!!3.1.1 Titles
A Title is a sequence of words constructed from case-insensitive alphabetic characters. This can be stored as a list of strings, or a string with the space or underscore as the padding character. Anyone can make a Title for themselves by downloading the ledger and performing a speaker recognition task, which consists of saying the Title. Voice prints are stored to ensure that the Title creator has not created another currently existing Title before, as well as to function as a backup password to ensure a Title cannot be lost easily.
!!!3.1.2 Honours
When you honour a title, you transfer an amount of glory, which also increases their Medals and increases your grace by the amount of glory transferred. In addition, the glory is multiplied by the ratio between your medals and strikes and between your wrath and grace.
!!!3.1.3 Denouncements
Glory can be destroyed by choosing to denounce a title, in which case you spend some amount of glory to destroy their glory. This also assigns them that many strikes and assigns you that much wrath. This is multiplied by the ratio between your medals and strikes and between your grace and wrath.
!!3.2 Magic
The concept of magic is that it can be created out of nothing. We strive to bring magic into the world through imaginative creation.
!!!3.2.1 Artifacts
A magical artifact is a created good or service that can be provided to users with no marginal cost, generally creative intellectual property. A magic spell is a manner of conjuring a magical artifact that can be repeated. In practice these refer to digital media such as computer files.
!!!3.2.2 Spell Market
This is an online auction house based on the glory system. Any mage can put a magic spell up for auction with a name, description, duration of sale, an ask price, and buyout price. Any mage can then offer to either establish the bid at or above the ask price or increase the bid by the amount offered. If the buyout price is reached or the bid remains for the duration, the author is offered a contract, which is signed by uploading the file. If the author signs, the spell is considered bought collectively at the bid price and the spell becomes available in the spell academy curriculum.
!!!3.2.3 Spell Academy
This is an online file distribution network operated by Dreamyth. Any mage can learn a spell, which downloads the file from the archives of Dreamyth.
!4 Society
Dreamyth is structured as an online forum, social networking community, and linking service where the Glory system is used for reputation tracking. A member can create a persona, which is like a personal profile. In addition, a member can create and join any number and combination of rooms and associations. Room and association specific facets can also be added to the persona.
!!4.1 Rooms
A member can create rooms that are defined by their degree of privacy and any associations they have. Rooms can have side rooms, but they must inherit at minimum the privacy of the main room.
!!!4.1.1 Open
These can be seen and participated in by any member.
!!!4.1.2 Locked
These are exclusive. The members of the room may invite, accept, or remove members by vote.
!!!4.1.3 Secret
These are invisible to anyone not invited.
!!4.2 Associations
A member of a room can be declared to have certain types of associations. These are not mutually exclusive.
!!!4.2.1 Guilds
A guild is based around a certain common professional role, field, or classification, and should be named accordingly.
!!!4.2.2 Houses
Houses represent geographical regions. A House should consist of members who all live within close physical proximity to one another, such that they could conceivably meet together offline in real life. To distinguish them, their name should contain a physically unique geographic feature or identifiable landmark that exists within the boundaries of the House.
!!!4.2.3 Parties
Ideological regions are represented through Parties. A Party should consist of members who share common ideological beliefs that can be identified by some kind of distinct banner or name.
!!!4.2.4 Alliances
A relationship can be established to other organizations, groups, or even individuals by forming an alliance with them. This type of relation exists to support these other entities in some manner.
!!!4.2.5 Clubs
These are basically a catch-all for any other possible association.
!!4.3 Hall
A Hall is a listing of all non-secret rooms by their associations.
!!4.4 Councils
The structure of decision making is a hierarchy of Councils that make decisions democratically.
!!!4.4.1 Local Councils
Each room is democratically coordinated by each member of the room in good standing being able to vote on matters relevant to their room. In addition, they each can elect a councillor to the association to represent them on the council of any association they have.
!!!4.4.2 High Councils
They have the power to override associated rooms in matters relating to them. In addition, they each can elect a councillor to the captain.
!!!4.4.3 Captain’s Council
The respective associations each are represented here, and this council should be expected to make most of the major strategic decisions.
!!4.5 Positions
A member of Dreamyth is a person who holds one or more positions. A person elected to a position is not required to accept it, and may choose to resign at any time.
!!!4.5.1 Mage Knight
A mage is any member who makes or uses magic. A knight is any member with glory. Being both means you are in good standing.
!!!4.5.2 Mage
For those who do not wish to participate in the glory system.
!!!4.5.3 Knight
For those who choose not to create or use magic.
!!!4.5.4 Captain
The captain is the overall leader of the team and must also be a knight. Their role is to chair the captain’s council and speak on behalf of the members to the public. The captain has the power to issue decrees on behalf of all of Dreamyth.
!5 Decisions
Dreamyth is governed by Councils that make decisions through an asynchronous system of online voting and online forum debates.
!!5.1 Motions
!!!5.1.1 Proposal
Any member of a Council may propose up to one Motion at any given time. If a member of a Council proposes another Motion while their previous Motion is still in Debate, the previous Motion will be considered withdrawn. A proposed Motion that is in Debate may be withdrawn by the proposer at any time.
!!!5.1.2 Debate
A proposed Motion is considered in Debate after it has been proposed but the votes have not yet been tallied. The Debate must occur in an online forum that all Council members have access to post arguments in.
!!!5.1.3 Tally
Debate is closed and the vote tallied automatically when the Threshold of the possible Debate participants have voted either Yea or Nay on the Motion, in which case the Motion either passes or fails depending on the Threshold. Otherwise, the Debate will be closed and the vote tallied if and when the Debate Time Limit is reached.
!!!5.1.4 Time Limit
The proposer of a Motion may assign a Debate Time Limit to the Debate on the Motion, with a minimum of one week. If Debate is not closed by the Time Limit, the votes will be tallied, and the Motion will either pass or fail depending on whether it met the Threshold. The effects of the Motion itself can also be assigned a Time Limit, after which it will be automatically repealed.
!!!5.1.5 Threshold
The Threshold for which a vote on a Motion must receive support in the form of Yeas is dependent on the precedence of prior Motions that it may conflict with. A Motion that conflicts with one or more prior Motions must receive a ratio of Yeas to Nays equal to or in excess of any of the prior Motions involved. Regardless, the number of Yeas must exceed the number of Nays and at least two non-abstaining votes must be tallied for a motion to pass.
!!5.2 Elections
At any time any member of a Council may propose an Election or Unelection to install or remove a member from any position that is held or could be held on the Council that they are a part of. There are no specific term limit requirements regarding positions, although they may be optionally included in the Motion at the discretion of the Council.
!!!5.2.1 Contests
If there are multiple Knights who wish to fill a councillorship, a separate Election Motion should be proposed for each. Should more than one of these Motions pass, then the one with the highest Yea to Nay ratio will be considered the winner of the contest and granted the position.
!!5.3 Authority
High Councils have the power to supersede decisions of the Local Councils. High Councils can also affect the decisions of other High Councils by passing motions that exceed the voting precedence threshold.
!!5.4 Decrees
A chair of a Council, may issue temporary Decrees on behalf of the Council they chair. This is in effect a Motion that immediately passes without any debate. However, a time limit must be specified for the effects of the Decree, with a maximum limit of one week. Obviously, this power should be used sparingly, and only when there is a significant need for immediate action. Like all Motions, they may later be affirmed or overruled by another Motion, with the special case caveat that the threshold requirement is set at 50% + 1. Decrees may not be issued if they would conflict with an existing unrevoked Motion. In an emergency, Decrees can be used to make temporary appointments to positions that have been vacated.
!!5.5 Conflicts
Should any two or more Motions of equal standing conflict, the newest Motion should prevail, given that in order for such a Motion to pass, it must exceed the threshold requirements set by the precedence of the prior Motions. If two Motions pass at the same time, the one with the higher Yea to Nay ratio shall take precedence.
!6 Identification
In order to prevent duplication of votes, each voting member must create an online account in the forum with a real name that matches a real world financial payment account, which the voting member must make a donation to Dreamyth from to prove their unique identity.
!7 Activities
The standard action procedure of the Team is for a Society to declare an Operation and assign Members to the Missions of the Operation.
!!7.1 Operations
An Operation is an activity with identifiable objectives or goals. Generally an Operation is divided into Missions.
!!7.2 Missions
A Mission is an activity with a single primary objective or task. They are generally grouped into Operations.
The Grand Mission is the meaning and purpose that justifies the existence of Dreamyth.
!!1.1 Joy
Joy is true happiness. It is a universally positive conscious experience. The truth of joy is what makes life worth living. We strive to maximize the joy in all possible worlds for all possible beings throughout all of eternity.
