Section III - Disciplinary Actions
All demotions and/or expulsion happen for a reason, there may not be a very good reason but there is a reason. At most times, first offenses will be warnings followed by demotions and if needed disablements. If a seraphim gives you a demotion/disable and you feel it was out of line then you will need to contact one of the Four Seraphims or the boss, they will then investigate and decide whether the demotion/disablement was proper. The same treatment shall apply to seraphims. Depending on the offense, punishments will vary. Class A is the most serious punishments, while Class C being the less serious.

Section I - Soldier
The soldiers are the heart of the family, the base of the members will be found here along with the "Captains". A soldier's duties are quite simple and as follow, respect the clan rules, be active in the game they play, be sure to keep up with clan events, follow instructions from a higher ranking member and use good manners.

Section II - Captains
Captains are given more responsibility, they have been in the clan at least two months. Captains should always remain an active gamer and keep up with clan events. They have the ability to recommending new members into the family. Their job now is to help teach soldiers about the family and keep a active flow of new members joining Millecielo Famiglia.

Section III - Seraphims
There will only be four of the Seraphims in the family at once, thus only a selected few will ever achieve this rank. People that achieve this rank have shown great dedication in improving our family. The seraphims are to keep the peace, they run the clan on a day to day basis. They have the right to overturn any action upon agreement with the other Seraphims. They have greater responsibility then the other clan members, if a Seraphim was to become out of line, his/her punishment would be far greater then that of other members. Seraphims should know better then to break the rules listed in this document.

Section IV - Underboss
The underboss has the final say in all decisions. He/she will make all important decisions regarding clan website, clan channel and all other things that are required to run the clan outside of gaming. The underboss does not run the clan on a day to day basis, that job belongs to the advisors. However, the underboss makes sure that his/her wishes are understood and carried out by the advisors. The underboss is to make sure that the Advisors are in line. The rank of underboss is rarely achieved by just anyone and are usually handpicked by the boss himself and will succeed the role of "Boss" when the current boss retires.

Section I - Coming Back Information
Members that have left the clan are not allowed back into Millecielo Famiglia.

Section II - Recruiting Policy
The recruiting policy is always changing, it will never be perfect. As of the creation of this document, the requirements of joining the family is to achieve a minimum of 20 games with the bot and at least 10 wins. Ratio of the scores would be considered on a separate basis depending on the color of the spell you are considering to join. Approval from the Four Seraphims are required before any members can join. Millecielo has always liked members with good manners, however that is not the only thing a person shall be recruited for. People that wish to join must have basic knowledge in the game they play. For example, they know what effects a certain spell will cause and how to achieve using these spells to their advantage. They would also know what units/heroes are effective against others. A person could be sweet as a peach but don't know anything about playing DotA. We do not want members like that. We want members that have some skill and are willing to improve in skill in this family, we do not want people that just purchased a game 2 days ago and still learning the names of the heroes for each side. If the recruiting policy is to ever change it will be amended in the end of this document.

Section III - Diplomatic Relations
Millecielo Famigia does not go out looking for "allies". We do however like to keep friendly relationships with other clans or families. Any clan or family may request a alliance if they are three months young since their date founded, have at least thirty clan members, do not endorse or condone hacking, have a decent website with a forum. Also should have stable leadership, meaning there isn't a power struggle every other week on who is the next shaman.

Section IV - Name Changing Information
You are not allow name changes for any reason whatsoever. On a sidenote, the key to join the family is to include "Thousand Heavens" without the quotes at the end of your application. Failing to do so will instantly disqualify your application. Only reason you should be able to get a name change is if you were "hacked" and lost your account on Battle.net. However if you are found to be lying, consequences will be grave. Possible punishments include demotions, revoking of medals and/or priviledges and possible expulsion. The only way to change an account without punishments is to reset and start as if you are a "new member", starting from scratch.
