Quote:(8) Bribery shall be defined as the receiving or offering of undue patronage support by or to any individual in order to influence behavior that the recipient would otherwise not alter. An individual who accepts such a bribe is to be considered complicit in bribery.

(9) Extortion shall be defined as the threatening of any individual in order to influence behavior that the recipient would otherwise not alter.

(9) (10) Vexatious Charges shall be defined as the filing of criminal charges against another player despite the filing party's knowledge that that said charges were meritless, frivolous, repetitive, and/or burdensome.

(10) (11) Conduct violations shall be defined as breaking in-game NationStates rules.

Don't mind me, just consolidating my own suggestions Tounge

Given the definition of bribery given includes 'receiving', I don't think we need the last sentence of (8). Otherwise, I like the changes.

Just generally, it might be worth looking at the discussion when we initially passed the Bribery provision.

Regarding Naka's changes: the use of the word "patronage" rather than "support" was deliberate, because "support" means it could prohibit something like political parties trading endorsements. I would prefer the original word. Otherwise, I approve.

Isn't the last line in 8)the same as Corruption? As such, is it necessary?
#27

I request my version not to be brought to vote. The addition of the last sentence in (8) is unnecessary - my reading skills failed me temporarily - so I'll put up a new draft at some point soon. Or someone else can.
