	The Universal Gaming Alliance, Unigamia, or {{UGA}} is a non-profit organization whose goal is for each of our members to form lifelong ~~friend groups~~ and to always be a place to return to for old members. Unigamia has grown many friend groups, and though most move on from Unigamia, they are always welcome back. We want to be a place for those who are socially awkward, misfits, rebels, or loners, to prevent suicides and school shootings through our efforts. We try to make sure everyone always has a game to play and a group to play it with.

	The Universal Gaming Alliance, Unigamia, or {{UGA}} is a non-profit organization whose goal is to ~~unify gamers~~, misfits, rebels, ~~and~~ loners ~~across multiple games~~ and ~~platforms~~. ~~It does this through the Sovereignty System, such that each~~ game ~~is given its own autonomy within the organization,~~ and ~~players can move within sovereignties instead of joining other organizations~~ to play ~~those games. {{UGA}} will continually expand until~~ it ~~is a dominant presence in every popular multiplayer game on PC, and expand to consoles once that dominant foothold is maintained~~.		The Universal Gaming Alliance, Unigamia, or {{UGA}} is a non-profit organization whose goal is for each of our members to form lifelong friend groups and to always be a place to return to for old members. Unigamia has grown many friend groups, and though most move on from Unigamia, they are always welcome back. We want to be a place for those who are socially awkward, misfits, rebels, or loners, to prevent suicides and school shootings through our efforts. We try to make sure everyone always has a game to play and a group to play it with.

	In ~~the {{UGA}}~~, your gender ~~does not matter; your~~ race ~~does not matter; your~~ sexual orientation ~~does not matter; your~~ gender identity ~~does not matter~~; ~~and your age will not be used against~~ you. ~~Everyone is~~ equal ~~and will be treated without unfair discrimination~~. Everyone will be treated with mutual '''Respect'''. ~~{{UGA}}~~ consists of people with various beliefs, creeds, religions, and political beliefs. Individuals who disagree vastly must agree to disagree, and respect one-another as fellow members of the Universal Gaming Alliance. It is through '''Loyalty''' not to one individual, not to the leadership of {{UGA}}, but to {{UGA}} itself that we can put aside our personal differences and view each other as members of this alliance who will support each other as individuals and each seek to grow and expand the organization so that it achieves longevity. It is through our loyalty to {{UGA}} that we can have respect for each other as allies regardless of our differences.		Of utmost importance in Unigamia is '''Loyalty'''. Members must be loyal to Unigamia so that we can put aside our personal differences and view each other as members of this Universal Gaming Alliance who will support each other as individuals and each seek to grow both ourselves personally and the organization itself. It is through our loyalty to Unigamia that we can have respect for each other as allies regardless of our differences. In Unigamia, we don't care about your gender, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or age; we care what games you play. All gamers are equal. Everyone will be treated with mutual '''Respect'''. Unigamia consists of people with various beliefs, creeds, religions, and political beliefs. Individuals who disagree vastly must agree to disagree, and respect one-another as fellow members of the Universal Gaming Alliance.

	However, loyalty to the organization breaks down if we cannot trust each other, and that trust is rooted in '''Honesty'''. Our community cannot exist without it. Honesty is more than speaking the truth, it is having the freedom to speak what you believe to be the truth. Maybe you are wrong, maybe you are right; you have to accept the possibility of both outcomes, but you can only know the outcome of your speech if you ''speak''. As such, ''Freedom of Speech'' is an integral part of Honesty. You might offend others with your speech, but what matters is intent. If you do not intend to disrespect, then you should be honest. Just as you can be honest while not being disrespectful, you can be honest while being dignified. '''Dignity''' is having maturity, patience, and pride in and as a member of ~~{{UGA}}~~. You should not be a sore loser or a sore winner. You should not be impatient when waiting for a game or decision. You keep it positive. Talk about the good times in ~~{{UGA}}~~, not the bad. There is more than one way to speak, and you can speak honestly while being undignified. Rise above it, and be both honest and dignified.

	Just as you must have dignity, ~~{{UGA}}~~ members must have '''Discipline''' both inside and outside of ~~{{UGA}}~~. Discipline is following the rules and having self-control. Inside of ~~{{UGA}}~~, when members discipline themselves and do not break the rules, there are no arguments, or the arguments can be quickly resolved. Outside of ~~{{UGA}}~~, discipline is integral to managing the time you play games, and pursuing your education. Your job and schoolwork come first before anything you have to do for ~~{{UGA}}~~. When you do have to do things for ~~{{UGA}}~~, it often requires '''Leadership'''. We believe in giving all members of ~~{{UGA}}~~ the chance to become leaders, and to learn leadership experience that they can bring outside of ~~{{UGA}}~~ into the world. Leaders will be taught how to manage other users, how to resolve conflict, and how to grow the organization.

	Last but not least, the ~~{{UGA}}~~ instills a sense of '''Camaraderie''' in every single member. Once a member of ~~{{UGA}}~~, you are always a member of ~~{{UGA}}~~. Every member will take a break from ~~{{UGA}}~~ at some point in time, but nearly all of the committed members who take a break come back to ~~{{UGA}}~~ in the future. Overall, ~~{{UGA}}~~ seeks to be one thing: a family. Do not do anything to another member that you would not do to your own family. When you join, you become part of a fellowship, a fraternity of brothers and sisters who are all orientated toward the same goal: growth of our organization and the propagation of our Core Values beyond ~~{{UGA}}~~: '''Respect''', '''Loyalty''', '''Honesty''', '''Dignity''', '''Discipline''', '''Leadership''', and '''Camaraderie'''.
