Amalgam Cooperative / AMALGAM

Amalgam Frontier Coalition is focused on taming the wild outlands of the ‘verse. AFC caters to all professions, both legal and criminal in Star Citizen to enable the success of all of its members and share resources across the organization. AFC focuses primarily on PVE gameplay, but will engage in PVP if necessary to accomplish a specific goal. Our driving goal is to enable all of our members to have the resources to access the gameplay they want, whether that is manufacturing, resource gathering, or combat professions, or just being a part of someone else’s crew.

AFC’s two founders Cosmic Moose, and Creamy Raccoon each embody one side of the legality coin, with Moose focusing on Mercenary/Militia gameplay, as well as crafting and base building, and Creamy Raccoon focused on syndicate operations, hacking, and heists. Moving towards Star Citizen V 1.0, we hope to have regular groups for world events, bosses, instanced, content, and building and supporting our members’ bases. We also hope to have both a shared planet-side base in protected space that can serve as a staging ground for group gameplay. If we are able to recruit enough members, and gather enough resources, we also hope to eventually build a space station that can be a safe haven for our criminal and lawful members alike, and be the ultimate headquarters for our collective gameplay.

AFC does not have a strict command structure, with Moose and Raccoon acting more as moderators for conversation and facilitators for gameplay than “Org Officers”. Org permissions (as they are added on the journey to 1.0) will be given by Moose and Raccoon on a case-by-case basis after vetting, and building collective trust.

Amalgam is a strictly queer friendly, neurodivergent friendly, anti bigotry org. Bigotry of any kind will absolutely not be tolerated. Political discussion is also highly discouraged, we’re here to fly cool spaceships and hang out, and politics entering an org is one of the fastest ways to see it fall apart. We’re really here to make friends to fly with and help each other out. As long as you are considerate of others, there shouldn’t be any issues.

Rules

• Show respect for other members of the org, this includes respecting gender identity, sexual orientation.
• Use of slurs (including those for gender identity, sexuality, disability, race, etc.) is grounds for immediate dismissal.
• Keep politics out of both text and voice chat, if someone else brings it up, either ask them to refrain from that discussion or bring it to the attention of Cosmic or Raccoon
• Endorsing or excessively discussing conspiracy theories is grounds for dismissal.
• There are plenty of reasons to criticize CIG, but we want to keep this space positive and optimistic about the game, when discussing the game absolutely be realistic, but avoid doomsaying or excessive criticism. This rule isn’t for fanpersoning, just for positivity in the group. This rule will not result in dismissal unless the behavior continues after multiple requests to refrain.

Group Gameplay Guidelines:

Amalgam does not have any sort of participation requirement, if we don’t hear from you for 6 months we may drop you from the discord for the sake of managing numbers, but will reach out to you before doing so. This is purely for organization, not to mandate participation, if you respond and say you just haven’t been on but want to participate in the future we’ll keep you on.

The following are general guidelines, not hard fast rules. The recommendation to establish leadership on a per activity basis is here to help improve efficiency of the operation, and have one person whose word goes if a high-pressure situation should arise. Also, if someone owns a cool ship, but would rather be the engineer than the captain they are obviously free to do so and appoint another person to captain the ship.

• If you are a crew member or a passenger on another member’s ship, follow the ship owner’s directions within reason, help them manage their ship and resources to the best of your ability.
• If multiple ships are participating in one activity, one person (ideally the individual with the most pertinent expertise) should be appointed by the group to manage the activity. If there is a ship that better fits the main game loop for the activity, that ship should be the ship to manage the rest of the group.
• If multiple members are participating in FPS operations, one person should be designated as the “squad leader” to manage coordinating the mission.
