Proposal 45 - Defining "Active Player" for Future Legislation: An "active player" is a player who has posted within the last three turns and/or the last week. If a proposal includes the phrase "active player", it is using this definition, unless another is supplied within it. For clarity, it is strongly recommended that proposals with an alternate definition use a different phrase—"current player" and "recent player" are both workable, if slightly awkward.

Proposal 49 - Alliances: At any time while this game is still in progress, a player may state "I wish to form an alliance with [PLAYERNAME].", replacing [PLAYERNAME] in said statement with the name of the player he/she wishes to form an Alliance with. If the player whose name was put in place of [PLAYERNAME] in that statement says, in this thread, "I accept your alliance proposal, [PLAYERNAME2].", where [PLAYERNAME2] in that statement should be replaced with the name of the player who stated "I wish to form an alliance with [PLAYERNAME].". After doing this, an Alliance will be created with those two players as members.
The highest number of players an alliance may have as members is 5, the lowest, 2.
Whenever a player in an alliance wins, all other players in that alliance also win, at exactly the same time.
A player may leave an Alliance at any time by stating his intent to do so at any time in this game thread, and having that statement witnessed by the Judge.
A player may be added to an Alliance by all the players currently in said Alliance stating their desire to have said player added to the Alliance in question, and then said player stating their desire to become a member of said Alliance. They will then become a member of said alliance.
If a majority of players in an Alliance state their desire to have a player removed from an Alliance they are in, it will be done, causing said player to no longer be a member of said alliance.
A given player cannot be a member of more than one Alliance.
Alliances will be individually referred to with different names. A given Alliance's name shall be determined by a majority of that Alliance's members stating their desire for said Alliance to have a given name.
An Alliance's name may be changed after it is set by a majority of that Alliance's members, in the same manner as choosing an Alliance's name for the first time.
Whenever a player in an Alliance earns money(also referred to as $) by means of start-of-turn income, an amount of $ equal to 10% of the amount earned, rounded down, will be added to that player's Alliance's Alliance Account. All Alliances have Alliance Accounts by default, and when an Alliance Account is created(which will happen when an Alliance is created), it will start with 0$.
If at any time a majority of the players that are members of a given alliance state their desire for the money/$ in their Alliance's Alliance Account to be relocated to a given player's own bank account, it will be done immediately.
If the Holy Emperor is a member of an Alliance, the maximum number of members allowed for that Alliance increases by two. If the Holy Emperor leaves an alliance, the maximum number of members allowed for that Alliance will decrease by two, and if the maximum number of members for said Alliance is less than the allowed number, the players in the Alliance will be required to remove players from that Alliance in standard fashion until the number of players in that Alliance reaches the standard maximum number of members for an Alliance.
Amendments, otherwise known as modifications, to the rule created by this proposal cannot be done without a supermajority(two thirds) of the players in this game wishing said amendments to be made.

Proposal 49a - Alliances, Modified: At any time while this game is still in progress, a player may state that they wish to form an alliance with another player; no exact phrasing is required, but the name of the other player must be in
bold. If the other player responds, within the same turn, with acceptance—again, there is no exact phrasing, but the offering player's name must be in bold—an alliance between the players is formed at the end of the turn, along with an .
The highest number of players an alliance may have as members is 5, the lowest, 2.
Whenever a player in an alliance wins, all other players in that alliance also win, at exactly the same time.
A player may leave an Alliance at any time by stating his intent to do so at any time in this game thread, and having that statement witnessed by the Judge.
A player may be added to an Alliance by, after they have asked to be added in a post that includes the Alliance's name in
bold, being accepted by the entirety of the Alliance, who must include the player's name in bold. The judge should post in the thread to confirm the player's acceptance as quickly as reasonably possible.
If a majority of players in an Alliance state their desire to have a player removed from an Alliance they are in, it will be done, scheduling the player to be removed from the Alliance at the end of the turn.
Being removed or added to an alliance happens at the end of the turn,
before Alliance Account-related steps happen.
A given player cannot be a member of more than one Alliance.
Alliances will be individually referred to with different names. A given Alliance's name shall be determined by a majority of that Alliance's members stating their desire for said Alliance to have a given name. By default, an alliance is named "The [player]-[player] Alliance," for two-player alliances, or "Alliance of [player], [player], [more players, if necessary] and [player]" for alliances of more than three. Samples are displayed in Figure 1.
An Alliance's name may be changed after it is set by a majority of that Alliance's members, in the same manner as choosing an Alliance's name for the first time.
Whenever a player in an Alliance earns money(also referred to as $) by means of start-of-turn income, an amount of $ equal to 10% of the amount earned, rounded down, will be added to Alliance Account of that player's Alliance,
instead of that player's account. An Alliance's Alliance Account is created, with a balance of $0, when that Alliance is created
If at any time a majority of the players that are members of a given alliance state their desire for
some or all of the money/$ in their Alliance's Alliance Account to be relocated to a given player's own bank account, it will be done immediately.
Amendments, otherwise known as modifications, to the rule created by this proposal cannot be done without a supermajority(two thirds) of the players in this game wishing said amendments to be made.
