1. Introduction
Glad to see you want to come play at United Operations.
United Operations is an open democracy with regulars (voted members) and officers (voted staff). We have no administrative staff, ruling cabal, or otherwise governing authorities. All actions done within the community are by the regulars, and for the regulars. The officer staff, voted for by regulars, are regulars first, and officers second. We believe this democratic method of administering a gaming community allows for the best equal footing, as well as a free and open forum for everyone to enjoy a military simulation community while still having fun.
United Operations is not a clan; it is a community. There are no requirements to play here, beyond following our standards of play. If you are a new player, you will find that our players thrive to enjoy military simulation gameplay; and shun excessive attitudes and actions which you may see in other servers or games.
Author's note: So - we are striving to make the installation process and smooth and slick as possible, so we have decided to make an initial "quickstart" guide which should assist the majority of players with installation to play here for the first time. But first! Read this and take it to heart. This is the core of everything we do here at United Operations. This can be considered V2 of this quick start guide, and is more streamlined to our new current setup, as well as a compilation of information.

2. GET UP AND RUNNING HERE
We strive to keep as stable of a playing environment as possible, so we host our own custom repository, which can be considered our tested and stable versions of mods available. In order to play on our servers, our mod pack is required. We mention this because a lot of the time, we are not on the latest releases of many mods that we use. This pack consists of possibly custom versions of ACE, ACRE and a compilation of mods known as the UO Mod Pack.

United Operations is established to serve as a community for fostering teamwork, simulation and cooperation in gaming. We are a mature community bound by a set of common principles:
1. We believe that the virtues of friendship, fun, professionalism, respect, cooperation, teamwork and courtesy are more important than power.
2. Factions will not be tolerated.
3. All regulars will be respected enough to have a common influence on the direction and administration of the community.
4. Gaming involving tactical play and simulation is most fulfilling - although we welcome diversity in moderation.
5. We value merit over title and action over pretense. All of our regulars are valuable assets in their own way, and will excel within their domain.
6. We are a free community - monies will never be requested of our regulars, and those who ever do donate will never benefit from it.
7. Freedom of speech - no regular will be penalized for expressing his opinions. This is a community of mature people.
8. We value the input of regulars, and we are eager to devote our time and effort to educating and welcoming new additions.
