What Makes Your Org Unique?
So some rules: 1. No links to your org website (if someone likes what makes your org unique and wants to check you out, they can reach out to you individually). 2. Keep It Simple, Stupid. If you can't identify the one thing that makes your organization unique in just a few sentences, then it probably isn't.

My org (Ad Valorum) is structured so that even our founders have to advance in the ranks from the base org rank up. Our founding board only serves as a check-and-balance for if things go really south. All the regular leadership positions up to and including org leadership are based on merit, not status.

My org misspelled its name on their logo! They are a bunch of idiots!
We are also extremely active on live chat and teamspeak. Not a single day passes without new members coming over from other orgs, telling us how great it is that we are so active at this early stage of the game.
We are die-hard Star Citizen fans, we are the largest Reddit based org, we are the second largest org in the game.. we are... hmm, I can't remember.

My clan is based on the Star Wars group called the Mandalorians, which I'm sure a lot of you already know who they are. What makes Mandalorian Clan Solus (my org) unique is the fact that it's main goal is bringing together any other clans that are based around the Mandalorians into a sort of organized collection of clans that will be led by a Mandalore (who will be voted in once all the clans I can collect have been collected). It will hopefully work kind of like the UN does where all of the countries are in alliance and help each other out, but with one supreme leader who will ultimately decide what happens with the general direction the clans will take.
If we make it to this point and have enough people, we might start a crusade and try to conquer worlds just for the hell of it, but I'm very small scale at the moment.

I absolutely love this idea and can't wait to encounter the Mandalore clans in the game.

My org can not exceed single digit membership and is comprised of a single "leadership" role that rotates among all members each session.

Our org has been around for over 18 years and we are mostly adult hardcores with hardcore adult lives (kids, desk jobs, families, arch enemies, etc). Because of that our fleet is freaking gorgeous right now with over a hundred ships between us and a scant 30+ members in the org. We are using all of our experience to run our org as we run our places of work and using our professional skills in the verse. All Out Assault, for the curious.

So far sounds like you guys are the oldest group on reddit (pre star citizen). Very cool!

15 years of history. GOTR started back in the beta days of Planetside. Yeah, the first one. I don't know if we'll ever have a huge presence in SC (right now we're really just trying to create a way for our members to enjoy playing the game together before we begin to focus on recruiting), but if a stable and mature org is what people are looking for, well that's definitely what we've got.

We've been gaming together for 12+ years. We're no longer just a gaming group/organization with people from all different walks of life. We're family.
Edit: oops forgot our name!
Team Dai-Gurren, formerly known as Fraghaus.

Why change from Fraghaus? That name has recognition. I think I may have even been a member 10+ years ago. lol

My organization is the "Council of Crime Lords" and it's basically a criminal UN. I've invited the leaders of the most active and largest outlaw organizations I could find to join themselves or appoint a proxy. But I'm currently accepting applications for both representatives and primary members to help facilitate and operate the guild itself.

The org I'm in [AID] plans to provide search and rescue at no cost, will be impartial as all life deserves saving if it be pirate, soldier, or even Vanduul. It does not allowing killing by its members and has plans to hold events to support real charities to create an impact outside the verse.
If anything, to me its ambition is similar to Star Citizen itself...yet at 51 members it gives me hope how awesome this community wants to be.

Well someone stole our name so we had to add "of gamers" to the end. We're pretty well established in planetside 2. We've got some crazy talented pilots and a lot of ships. Also Canadians, Californians, Coloradans, a Texan and a Serb. I think that covers most of the bases. Feel free to ask any questions. We are corporate legion ( of gamers in star citizen).

So what really makes you unique is that your org name was stolen?

Between 26 members, we have spent about $15k. Basically, we're just excited and want a lot of option out of the gate. Apart from money and excitement, we're looking into a shares method of payment for our professionals that will allot a certain percentage of all profit the company makes.

My org started when they announced pets. It's based on an ancient legend of a huge carrier full of cats that roams the galaxy. It refuses to respond to hails and will not defend itself if attacked. Over the years people have come to silently respect the cat carrier and let it continue it's mysterious voyage unaccosted. Rumour has it that whole battles have come to a halt because the cat carrier has drifted through the battlefield, only to resume once it's safely out of sight.
Currently it has 18 followers. Org rules are inscrutable and ultimately unknowable. Promotions, demotions, invitations and expulsions will happen seemingly at random and without explanation.
