Proposal: Generalized Warfare

Add a rule Attack Audiences:

At any time a Warlord may attempt to make his own Alliance Attack another Warlord, by requesting an Audience with that Alliance, with a subject of "Attack: [Warlord]". This Audience must be not be tallied for Approval or Rejection if there are any Audience request at any Alliance which subject is "Defend: [Warlord]" and the named Warlord is the same as in the Attack request.

Once in the period of 24 hours after the posting of this Request, the Warlord named as victim of the Attack may include the Petitioner in his list of Casus Belli.

No Audience requesting an Attack may be posted if there exists another pending Attack request for the same Alliance. This includes Attacks announced under the rule Alliance Warfare.

If the Audience is approved, all Warlords pertaining to the named Alliance Attack the victim, once, in the period of 24 hours immediately after the Approval.

If the Audience is rejected, the Petitioner loses 15 Reputation, but he and any other Warlord that voted FOR the audience may still Attack the victim, once, in the period of 24 hours immediately after the Rejection. In the period of 24 after the Rejection of the Audience, the Petitioner may choose to leave his Alliance without incurring any other penalty for doing so.

Either in case of Approval or in case of Rejection, the Warlord requesting the Audience shall be considered the Attack Coordinator.

Add a rule Defense Audiences:

At any time, if there’s a pending Audience request at any Alliance which subject is "Attack [Warlord]", any Warlord in the same Alliance as the victim may attempt to make his own Alliance Defend the attacked Warlord, by requesting an Audience with that Alliance, with a subject of "Defend:[Warlord]". If this Audience is Approved, then the corresponding Attack request must be tallied at once, regardless of having reached quorum.

Only one Audience may be requested for Defense against any Attack request.

If the Audience is approved, all Warlords pertaining to the named Alliance Defends the victim against the corresponding Attack.

If the Audience is rejected, the Petitioner loses 10 Reputation, but he and any other Warlord that voted FOR the audience still Defends the victim. In the period of 24 after the rejection of the Audience, the Petitioner and the Victim may choose to leave the Alliance without incurring any other penalty for doing so. Warlords leaving the Alliance this way may include, at once, the Leader of their former Alliance in their list of Casus Belli.

In either case, the Warlord requesting the Audience shall be considered the Defense Coordinator.

If the Audience was VETOED, the Leader also loses 5 Reputation, and any Warlord may leave the Alliance in the period of 24 after the rejection of the Audience without incurring any other penalty for doing so. Warlords leaving the Alliance this way may include, at once, the Leader of their former Alliance in their list of Casus Belli.

This creates a mean of non-Leaders asking for an Alliance Attack.
