## History

### Suspension of the Article V

On August 3, 2021, the *Photon SMP Server Guild Classification Act* was introduced and adopted (five for, one against, with one abstention) as an amendment to the Photonic Codex II as an attempt to regulate server guild warfare on the Photon SMP II. Within a day, protests arose regarding sections of the amendment that sections of the legislation were a failure in practice and had failed in implementation.

*"§1. The regulation of war based upon the classification of a server guild on the Photon SMP added by an amendment by the Pheton and SMP Moderators has shown to be a failure in practice and implementation on the Photon SMP"* *- Photon SMP Classification-War Repeal Act.*

Later in the day, the *Photon SMP Classification-War Repeal Act* was introduced to repeal the problematic sections of the *Photon SMP Server Guild Classification Act*, which had been adopted hours prior. While attempting to a passing vote on the *Photon SMP Classification-War Repeal Act.* Phantom, then a prominent figure and staff member of the Photon SMP II, declared that supremacy of rule-making was solely reserved to the server owner and his officers, not to the Photonic Codex II. This declaration created a crisis within the Photon SMP staff, which resulted in the suspension of Article V of the Photon Codex II, the article outlining how the Photon Codex II as the supreme law of the Photon SMP II was to be amended to avoid redundant or power-abusive amendments from being adopted to the Photonic Codex II, which previous iterations of the Photonic Codex had experienced.

On August 3, 2021, at 10:40 CT, the following announcement was made on the Pheton Discord regarding the Photon SMP:

*Today, at 10:40 PM CT, Phantom has effectively suspended Article V of the Photonic Codex.*

*All authority on rules and amending the Photonic Codex has been vested into the Server Owner and his officers.*

*Glory to the new regime.*

## Trivia

Phantom was never meant to be a prominent player in Pheton. It started when he was accidentally pinged instead of Photon, as both of their names are very close in the alphabet (Pha/Pho).

Phantom has a characteristic deep voice that makes him rather recognizable.
