Starcitizen Dads AUS Manifesto
We are Starcitizen Dads AUS.
A group of fathers, united by our love for the stars and the responsibility we carry here on Earth. We are not just players, but fathers, husbands, workers, and, above all, supporters of one another in balancing the universe of gaming with the everyday demands of life.

Our Mission:

Gaming with Responsibility: We understand the challenge of being a dedicated gamer while juggling work, family, and other adult responsibilities. Starcitizen Dads AUS is a place where fathers can come together to game in a low-pressure, understanding environment. Whether you have a few minutes or a few hours, you are always welcome.

Aussie-Based, Global Community: As a group of Aussie dads, we embrace our timezone and culture, while welcoming fathers from all around the world who share our understanding of life’s responsibilities. We are a diverse and inclusive community built on mutual respect and shared experiences.

Family First, Always: Our families are our priority. We don’t just respect that balance—we live it. In Starcitizen Dads AUS, you’ll find a supportive community that recognizes the importance of making time for your family, all while enjoying the adventures of the Star Citizen universe.

Chill, No-Pressure Gaming: No one here needs to prove anything. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned veteran, we understand that everyone’s journey is different. We play for fun, for escape, and for camaraderie. The only pressure we face is from the black hole of our to-do lists.

Supporting Each Other: Being a dad is no easy feat. But in this org, we support one another not just in-game, but in life. Whether it’s advice on parenting, juggling work schedules, or simply a listening ear, we’ve got your back.

Our Core Values:

Respect: We treat each other with kindness and respect, understanding that our personal lives are as important as our gaming experiences.

Inclusivity: Everyone has a place here, no matter where you are in life. We celebrate diversity and appreciate different perspectives.

Flexibility: Gaming isn’t a race. We understand that life happens. If you can’t make it to a mission, no worries—we’ll pick up where we left off when you can join.

Community: We are a family, bound not just by the game but by shared experiences. Our community grows stronger because we support each other both in-game and out.

Fun: Above all, this is about enjoyment. We’re here to create memories, have fun, and form lasting bonds while exploring the universe of Star Citizen.

Join Us in the Stars!
If you’re a dad who loves Star Citizen and understands the balancing act of family, work, and play, Starcitizen Dads AUS welcomes you. Together, we’ll conquer the cosmos, support each other through life’s challenges, and make the stars feel a little more like home.

Starcitizen Dads AUS – Charter
Preamble:

We, the members of Starcitizen Dads AUS, unite under the banner of fatherhood and gaming. With the ever-present challenge of balancing family, work, and play, we seek a community where dads can find camaraderie, respect, and fun. Our mission is to explore the universe of Star Citizen while making space for the more important things in life: our families.

Article I: Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to build a supportive, no-pressure, and inclusive community for dads who love Star Citizen. We aim to:

Provide an inclusive space where fathers from all walks of life can come together to game, share experiences, and enjoy the universe of Star Citizen.

Foster a friendly, relaxed environment where gaming is fun, and the only “quests” are the ones we create together.

Article II: Core Values
Family First
Life comes first—missions, loot, and space battles are secondary to family. We understand that our families require our time and attention, and we respect the family-first approach.

Community and Camaraderie
We are stronger together. Our organization thrives on supporting one another, sharing laughs, and helping each other navigate both the stars and life’s challenges.
