Who are the Lancers?

The Lancers are a group of folks who have decided to get together and devote a large portion of their lives to furthering equality of types. We come from many different backgrounds and many different beliefs. We also happen to host, build, update, and run the Pavilion site.

What is the difference between the Lancers and Pavilion?

Pavilion is a place for people to get together and help familiarize themselves and society around them with the topic of healthy and equal plurality. You don't have to be a Lancer to be a part of it; Lancers just happen to also entertain themselves in the back room by talking about a unified interface for philosophies too.

Because, you know, it helps to at least have a common language to get along with, or at least politely disagree.

What is the Lancer's Codex?

The Codex is a set of principles, definitions, essays, and a simple code of etiquette by which Lancers guide ourselves in our day-to-day lives and in our actions to bring healthy plurality to the attention of the general public. It stores our working definitions of plurality and also ideas of how to bridge the gaps when people have trouble understanding.

We commonly use the catchphrase, 'all fires are equal.' In other words, we believe that, no matter what the source, no matter what the type, there is no inherant superiority or inferiority.

Not everything in the Codex is carved in stone. There is room for discussion and redefinition if need be. What is unchanging is our acknowledgement of:

* The universal equality of singlets, multiples, and medians in every aspect.

* A unified standard of plurality, including clear definitions of singlet, median, plural, and soulbonding as it relates to these: and a philosophy of life in terms of responsibility, as outlined in In Essence.

Members of Pavilion are invited to join the Lancers if they are willing to sign the In Essence Pledge, study the Codex and work toward the common goals. The difference between Pavilion and the Lancers is that members of Pavilion hold to many different philosophies and ideas about plurality: the Lancers are unified by the standards of the Codex.
