Laws
Don't Be An Asshole:
a. Don't sabotage your allies in the Order. Disagreement and debate is fine. Members are encouraged to engage in respectful debate without the use of personal attacks. If an event/action goes against what the Order stands for, this should be reported to the Warden and Elders Council.
b. Be respectful of other Orderites. We're all adults here and know that insults do little to advance our cause. Members are allowed to speak as they wish but they should expect a response in kind. If arguments reach a point of creating unrest within the society, the Warden and Council will step in as needed.
c. No personal attacks against members of other societies in Order comms, public locations, or emails. Having issues with members of other societies is fine - using our public channels to create drama against individuals isn't okay. Disagreeing with the policies of an entire society is fine, though members should expect a response from the society they've insulted.
d. Own your actions. The Order will support our own. However, if there is drama in your personal life, no Orderite is mandated to aid you. Individual members may aid their allies at their discretion, provided it does not break any other rules of the Order.
No demanding meetings for things that can be handled via email or texts.
No Sadism: No delighting in the pain or suffering of others over the radio or while on Order business.
No false reports to HQ: Positive or negative reports sent to HQ should relate to things someone has actually done or failed to do. Do not send reports that are just 'I like this person', 'I do not like this person', 'I think this person is bad', 'I think HQ is wrong to give this person their authority' or similar.
No committing acts that violate the laws of the local, state, or federal government unless those acts are part of a mission for the Order or other society.
Minor rule violations may result in a warning or being required to pay a small fine. Significant rule violations will likely lead to a warning on first offense, and explusion on repeat offence. Very serious violations will be grounds for immediate expulsion or being sentenced to a period of psychic imprisonment during which your natural personality will be overwritten for the duration of the sentence.
Policies
• The Elders Council may spend resources at their discretion for the benefit of the society at large so long as local chapter resources remain above $140,000.
• Acolytes who have been accepted into one of the three main branches of the Order (Swords, Scrolls, Shields) will have their expenses covered for any supplies requisitioned at the Goblin Market; this does not include weapon augmentations or magical artefacts except at the discretion of the Elders' Council.
• Penitents may not be trusted with access to Order resources except at circumstantial discretion of the Elders' Council.
• Any advanced (+2) level artefacts enchanted using Order resources are considered communal property of the Order and made available for shared use. This does not extend to low level artefacts or weapon augmentations, which may be approved for personal use.
• Any member of the local Haven Order who is actively contributing to the Order is entitled to a weekly pay bonus.

Medal Policy
Order members can nominate others for medals, if confirmed by the Warden the nominee may also refer someone who helped them to achieve the medal to also receive it. The Warden cannot receive medals, do not nominate them.
Bronze Medal: Given for materially benefiting the Order, such as through contributing resource or acquiring assets.
Diamond Medal: Given for providing reputational benefit to the Order, living up to the Order's ideals by showing heroism, mercy, or selflessness. For planning missions, undertaking rituals or schemes in a manner befitting the spirit of Order. (This means generous, thematic RP. Schemes which are not RP focused, such as an occurrence-operation are not eligible.)
Emerald Medal: Given for providing moral benefit to the Order, lifting the spirits of other members or inhabitants of the town generally. (Hosting social events or other fun types of social RP. Success determined by if people there enjoyed themselves, not how many people showed up.)
Sapphire Medal: Given for providing supportive benefit to the Order. Helping people who are injured, or distressed or otherwise experiencing personal problems.
Any member of the Order who has earned at least one medal is entitled to a pay bonus throughout their stay in Haven, so long as they remain actively involved.
(By and large medals will only be given out for things that involve creating fun RP for others. You cannot get an medal just for 'throwing a party' or 'making an operation' unless it is evident you've put some thought and effort into making that fun for people taking part. The Bronze medal is the only exception, this can be given out just for being very mechanically helpful.)
