Goal

The first objective will be to raise the 4ACE Expeditionary Fleet with our Kraken, Idris and multiple Hammerheads forming the core. This Expeditionary Fleet will fly to the edges of UEE controlled space and establish a base of operations with the assistance of the fleet Pioneer. This 4ACE base located on the frontier of space and UEE control will act as a “last stop” and defensive buffer from the murky unknown for allies and friendly players. Additionally, it will be our safe harbor taking advantage of limited UEE support while maintaining close striking distance against the Vanduul. Upon completion, organization divisions will begin conducting operations within their scope of expertise.

These divisions are:

• Operation Development
• Training and Strategy
• Alliance Support
• Diplomacy

• Trade and Sales
• Cargo Transport
• Mining and Transport
• Legal Business Dealings

• Territory and Base Defense
• Escort and Ground Security
• War Support (Alliances, Mercenary)
• Bounty Hunting

• Privateering for UEE
• Technology Salvage and Sales
• Goods Smuggling
• Illegal Business Dealings

• Route Reconaissance and Cartography
• Extraterrestrial Diplomacy
• Mineral Discovery
• Science, Research and Development

Individuals may select a primary and secondary division to expand their palate should they choose. An example of how these Divisions function together for the overall success of the organization is as follows: Discovery Division members recon a large Vanduul fleet based abroad and provide the coordinates for a good staging area. Leadership Division forms a tentative plan and releases an OPORD. Battle and Acquisition Divisions move to the staging area, Battle moves forward and defeats Vanduul enemies. After securing the area, Acquisitions moves forward and salvages the Vanduul’s advanced technology. Battle and Acquisitions Divisions move back to home base. Mercantile Division takes the salvaged technology, minerals and components and ships to buyers closer to inner space with Battle Division escort.

Be present in communication channels when playing and join the team during operation events.

• All members are encouraged to invite friends into the outfit. They may do so with the understanding that friends share the same gaming values and beliefs. The Four Aces is a game networking community first for quality individuals to gather and avoid unsavory public player types.

• Training, tactics and cohesiveness is what sets The Four Aces apart from other organizations. If full membership is desired, participation in training to learn the outfit tactics and standards is required.

• You are required to attend at least one organized operation per month. We understand real life comes first and if you are unable to fulfill this requirement (family death, moving, job loss, etc) please request to be placed on the away roster with organization leadership. You will be rejected from the away roster if you continue participation in other venues demonstrating that you are simply choosing not to participate.

• No members will be required to attend more than the minimum required events if not online to do so. Members online and present during the time of a scheduled event are required to attend. Failure to do so will result in immediate expulsion from the organization.

• Members may appeal any punitive decision for review. To appeal a decision dictated by a member of leadership: provide a written message pleading your case to any other Officer you trust with details enclosed for a second review.

• Any member at any time may initiate the Whiner’s Clause. Every member on at the time is limited to THREE publicly voiced complaints over communications. Any more than THREE may result in removal from channel and/or disciplinarian action. Clause is initiated by robustly stating: “THE WHINER’S CLAUSE IS NOW IN EFFECT.”

• The majority of members are adults who have families, jobs and children. Should a member have small children or sensitive ears nearby they reserve the right to announce “FAMILY CLAUSE IN EFFECT.” During this time all participants will make every effort to keep adult themed discussions and behavior to a minimum.

• If any profit garnered through utilization of outfit members, sanctioned media and events/games therein will be donated to the outfit funds to be utilized to maintain guild infrastructure. A partial exception to this is if you own a streaming channel (youtube, twitch, facebook) from which you gain income as a result of entertainment provided by outfit members, events and media it is expected that you share some of those funds with the outfit to assist in maintaining infrastructure in return for increasing your channel viewer pleasure.

• Multimedia, art and imagery created involving the outfit in any shape or function will be provided shared rights to said creation to be utilized by the outfit in a manner of its choosing. Furthermore, the reaper logo and the diamond decal are copyright protected imagery having been purchased by the outfit leader: XanderWiFi. Permission to use this imagery is dependent upon final version approval of all media prior to its release by the outfit leader when utilizing these pieces.

• 4ACE membership requires that the The Four Aces remains as your “main” organization. Affiliate organizations are permitted but membership must be publicly visible. All affiliations must be reported to an officer. Some assignments will require affiliations with other organizations. Keeping affiliations hidden will be grounds for removal. The Four Aces Outfit only maintains affiliates as allies within the ranking structure.
