[http://www.lowcaliber.com/Initial%20L%20Red.jpg](http://www.lowcaliber.com/Initial%20L%20Red.jpg) et it be fixed in the annals of Club History that on this day, January ninth, the year two-thousand-two Common Æra, seven hundred hours Eastern Standard Time, the Low Caliber Club came into existence, founded by the Triumvirate of then presiding Officers:

\*\*Unter den Uebrigen (Treasurer), Massachusetts\*\* \*\*Odin, aka Colonel Steele (Chief), Nevada\*\* \*\*Aegus (Secretary), California\*\* Precepts of the Club

Art. 1. Fighting

> § 1. It is the duty of each Member to perfect the first three degrees of each weapon class.

- § 1.1. The order of each weapon within each class according to preference:

- § 1.2. Combat should prefer, in the main, the first two degrees of each class.

Art. 2. Deportment

> § 1. Honor shall govern the actions of each Member, the particulars of which are subject to the discretion of each Member and the scrutiny of his Co-members:

- § 1.1. The Good Fight is at stake, and never the quick frag.

- § 1.2. Let enemies feed freely between matches, as this furthers the Good Fight; but smote your enemy to the ground and insult him should he snack mid-fight.

- § 1.3. The ground is preferrable to the air. Our example is the Greek Phalynx, impervious turtles of the earth: let rather the enemy take the air in flight.

- § 1.4. Never disgrace your manhood so much as to flee. If you find yourself amongst trough-murdering barbarians, or therein limbless, submit while taunting or suicide to deprive the murderer of a frag at your expense.

- § 1.5. A stowed weapon (“sword up”) implies spectatorship, and spectators shall be treated as civilians.

Art. 3. Governance

> § 1. Duties

- § 1.1. The Chief shall be responsible for overseeing the general membership of the Club, and scrutinizing prospective Members.

- § 1.2. The Secretary shall be responsible for the moderation of Club correspondence and the scheduling of intra- and inter-club rendezvous, including but not limited to a bi-weekly Club night and public Tournaments.

- § 1.3. The Treasurer-administrator shall be responsible for the maintainance of the web presence and everything attendant thereto.

- § 1.4. The Minister of Peace shall be responsible for the silent enactment of discipline on the server, and shall not broadcast himself as such to the public.

> § 2. Membership

- § 2.1. Election

- § 2.2. Dismemberment.
