Ranks within the Allied Confederation of Planets are used only within the SIM context.  Outside of the SIM, they are purely fuctional.  Ranks within SIMulations are subject to the GM of the SIMulation, and only the GM.  While any member can have whatever rank they wish to play, GMs are responsible for making sure that ranks are handled within reason.  Ranks on the Allied Confederation of Interstellar Planets website will only be mentioned when they have some In Character significance, such as in the Plotlines section of the website.

Game Managers include, but are not limited to the Commanding Officers of the Allied Confederation of Interstellar Planets. These people are the ones solely responsible for the running of a unit, such as a ship, starbase within the Allied Confederation of Interstellar Planets.  It is recommended that GMs over units such as ships and starbases do a weekly report.  GMs in positions such such as Fleet Commanders, R&D Director and Academy Commandant are asked to do a bi-weekly SIM Status report.   These are asked to be done so that information regarding ACIP can be kept as current as possible and to keep everything as consistent as possible on an In Character level.

No GMs have any authority over any other, but all GMs are expected to work together as a team.

If the Commander in Chief makes any decisions on policy, and there are objections from the Commanding Officers, a vote must be called by the CinC and held to determine the course of action. For a vote to pass, it must achieve a 66% majority.
