Article VII

Only those events, plotlines, missions, stories, rosters, etc., posted in the Treatise Imperialis will be considered officially "approved" for the Imperial Order. No development idea, Battle Plotline, pivotal character, event or Roster revision shall be released to the other Fleet Members unless the Emperor has approved them. The Emperor retains the right of final decision in these matters. Any unapproved or premature postings to the organization run the risk of being withdrawn. In addition, ALL Members submitting plotlines or articles for consideration MUST include their ID Line designation for later referral by the reviewing Command Officer. All Member submittals to the Imperial Order Treatise Imperialis and Manuals become the property of the Imperial Order. However, member Internet sites and webpages remain the property of individual Members. Although the Emperor makes every effort to cite the source and/or author of a TI or member submission, the free, unrestricted use of these submittals may be required in order to promote the club, post these items freely on the Internet or in negotiations with other online entities.
