Whereas currently we have no dereliction law, I propose to change Article IX, Section B, from

B) Derelict plots fall under the administrative control of the Chancellery, via a process determined by the General Assembly.

to

B. Dereliction

i. Property that has shown no signs of improvement in at least 7 days shall be considered eligible for dereliction.

ii. Those seeking ownership of a derelict plot will: Place a sign at the property with their in-game name, the current date, and the word “Dereliction”. Make a post on the subreddit /r/CivAgora declaring intention of dereliction. The post must contain [Dereliction] in the title, and a link to at least one screenshot of the plot, showing relevant structures, the dereliction sign, and the coordinates of said plot.

iii. For 7 days after the initial [Dereliction] post is made, any member of the General Assembly may object to the dereliction by commenting on the post stating their objection, and their reason for it. iv. If the initiator of a dereliction believes a specific objection to be frivolous or unjustifiable, the objection may be contested and subjected to review by the Kaiser who will decide on whether to sustain or overrule said objection.

v. Objections by the owner of the property undergoing dereliction cannot be overruled.

vi. If there is no legitimate objection within the 7 day waiting period, the derelict plot, along with the structures and items within it, shall become the property of the initiating individual.

vii. Should a property be known to be abandoned, and should both the Kaiser and Chancellor consent, the 7 day waiting period may be waived.

viii. If a property owner will have an extended absence from Civcraft and/or reddit, the posting of a sign or a post to /r/CivAgora will exempt their property from dereliction for a period of 1 month.
