The Back Room is a MDoAP bloc which was formed on 12 March 2022 by Bourbon Street, The Commonwealth, The Wei and Carthago after the disbandment of BlackWater and Mile High Club.
Preamble[]
Hushed voices are heard whispering while smoke from cigars permeates the halls. Walking past, the patrons licking their lips for what they wish they could have whenever they desire. The need to come to the Back Room and the business allegedly conducted therein may be frowned upon by the law but when desire prevails, there’s no other wei... we make do…
Article I: “There’s a secret knock”[]
Section 1: Initiation[]
Entrance always begins with a subtle, yet unique knock. A unanimous vote must be had in-order to gain entry into the Back Room, which may be called at any time by a patron, vouching for the newcomer. Each patron has a 48h period to have their say, be it Aye or Nay, with due reasoning being provided to others, however extensions may be granted.
Section 2: Expulsion & Veto[]
A patron may be thrown out into the street upon unanimous agreement of the rest of the patrons, save for the patron in question. Patrons may veto the entrance or affiliation of a group with the wider Back Room family business, with due reasoning being provided to others.
Article II: “What happens here, stays here.”[]
Section 1: Secrecy[]
Once entrance has been gained into the Back Room, patrons henceforth swear to uphold the Omerta oath, keeping to themselves our business’ secrets. Any rats shall be dealt with swiftly.
Section 2: Intelligence[]
Patrons agree to share information and rumors at the table, to ensure their collective success, in a timely manner. Failure to do so will be discussed at the earliest opportunity.
Article III: “Family first, always”[]
Section 1: Supremacy[]
Should the extended family obligations of any patron come into direct conflict with their duties and responsibilities towards the Back Room, their pledge to the Bloc shall always take priority.
Section 2: Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression[]
If the law were ever to uncover the Back Room, shooting up the place and hurting a patron, the family business or their associates, this shall be regarded as an attack on us all.
Patrons pledge to coordinate efforts to find and eliminate all who seek to endanger the family, however, they are not obligated to protect extended family members or associates who have acted wrongly in their eyes.
Article IV: Serious Pledges[]
- Aero and HannaH are to share all Glitter accumulated during the life of this treaty with the rest of the family.
- Sweden Ball reserves the right to demand a duckie be given by a defeated adversary.
- All official public communications from the Bloc should incorporate at least 2 wei puns, and replace all usages of “way” with “wei”.
- All patrons recognize El Chach was a chill dude, rest in peace.
Article V: “Those were some Good Times”[]
If any patron decides they leave, they may do so with 72h notice and a pledge to alweis remember with whom they quenched their thirst, and who they rubbed elbows with.
Their days in the Back Room will be remembered.
