The Ars Virtua Temporary Autonomous Zone experiment continues on the evening of February 14th 2008 to incorporate a list of by-laws to follow as a guide to future projects. The rules of order for the gathering follow Consensus in order to ratify this constitution. This meeting will once again be held in the Demon Soul realm of WoW. Anyone who wishes to participate is encouraged to contribute their ideas to form an Autonomous Political Manifesto.

Ars Virtua's experiments in TAZ have been an education; both in game and social dynamics. The chief result of this research and trials have yielded one simple and encompassing conclusion: Politics. What does it mean to belong to this Party? How do you know you belong? Or in the words of James Morgan,founder of Ars Virtua, "What can you take away?"

The Political position of this Party is more important perhaps than any other aspect of what we do in-game. Despite whether any participant believes that the TAZ iniative is to prank the game or simply introduce the rich complexity of the world outside the magic circle, we desire a purposefully labyrinthine reading and engagement with the Synthetic Social Terrain.

To this effect we are calling a "Thing" so that our citizenry of pranksters, philosophers, and "heroes" can record the political manifesto of this complicated collectivism.
