History
Few days before the November 2010 Congressional Elections, the New Age Party was formed by nurica. At the time, there were fears that the New Age Party was another PTO threat, due to it's very secretive and not-so-exposed members. After winning 5 congress seats the Philippine community became unrest. nurica began persuading people that NAP was a party with pure intentions and even after a certain time with NO PTO activities whatsoever, the President Jelly9473 was still not so sure of that claim. In order to prove (or disprove) this doubt, he granted permission to Miku Hatsune 01 to become the Party President. However, she declined the offer and passed the place to Erion Clow Reed.

After the tight elections, Erion Clow Reed claimed control over the fate of the NAP. He soon proved to be the right choice for the task and surpassed the initial expectation of the crew that created this party.

NAP licences and passes
ACOlyte Licensure EXaminations (ACOLEX)
To ensure that legitimate and real players were joining the party, Erion Clow Reed formulated the Entrance Examinations for aspiring NAP members. It included basic information, background check and activation of the aspiring member. Its aim was to eliminate bots and zombies without defiling our Halls of Sacred Temple. However, it wasn't completed and remained under construction and never implemented, alongside with the CCP and the party forum.
Implementation
ACOLEX was however finished and was used by the members of NAP. Though it was not facing more opposition than before, it was only ensuring that the character was a genuine human (not a zombie or bot).
Congressman Candidacy Pass (CCP)
Unlike the ACOLEX, the CCP was a more rigorous test for those members that wanted to run for a Congressmen seat. It was meant to have a higher degree of "interrogation" in order to prove the knowledge about Congress.
Validity of the protocols
Fate Averruncus and Alden John Binaday argued that the ACOLEX and CCP weren't a viable measure to block PTOers, because the ACOLEX could be answered by anyone (including PTOers) and the CCP (just like the ACOLEX) only provided meager protection for the party. The Magister Archon had no other option, but to reconsider the ACOLEX and the CCP Program.
