This means flying in formation, sticking with wingmen, understanding their role, using brevity, and executing their assigned role to the best of their ability. Mission Commanders will be expected to only commit to engagements forced upon them. Investors, Authorized Agents & Agents are all expected to meet the monthly economic quota. Additionally Investors agree to commit to regularly checking the Org page and to participate in a monthly board meeting to last no more than 30 minutes.

If an Investor should decide to leave the game or company, or the decision is made by majority vote of other board members to remove the investor, the investor shall be reimbursed the full investment amount of in game currency from the company treasury and thus the company buys their seat. As such, after 120 days, in the persistent universe, the company must hold enough funds in cash reserves to divest all members of ownership at anytime. Investors must give the company first rights to purchase their seat at their initial investment amount.

The company may then offer the seat for sale to existing Authorized Agents or Agents. Investors are subject to the same code of conduct as any other Agent.

While Investors are not entitled to any in game, or out of game, monetary compensation, they are entitled to issue a monthly dividend of in-game currency. The basis of this dividend will be based on the in game retained earnings. Please see Article II: Compensation & dispensatory information.
