Ares United
Membership

The Council.

Five ranks. One shared build. Every member gets real influence through non binding input that actually shapes the org, and from Warrior up your dues leave the same month as a gifted sub to a streamer you pick.

How it works

Dues in. Subs out. Both published.

Most orgs ask the community to buy merch. Ares United asks the community to fund the community, then shows you exactly where it landed.

Step 01 You join

Pick a rank and a billing period. Payment runs through Stripe. No investors, no equity, no board seat for sale.

Step 02 You pick a streamer

From Warrior up you choose a signed Ares United streamer at signup, and the org gifts them a sub in your name every month.

Step 03 You get a vote

Jersey colours, team names, charity picks, merch direction, roster shortlists higher up. Every vote counts the same inside a poll.

Step 04 We publish it

Every gifted sub and every payout appears in the monthly report with the creator named and the amount attached.

Five ranks

Pick your rank.

Monthly or annual, and you can move between ranks whenever you want. Annual is roughly two months free on every tier that offers it.

Straight answers

Before you commit.

If something here is not covered, ask in Discord and the answer goes on this page.

Am I buying ownership in the organization?

No. Council membership is a subscription to participation, not ownership. Members receive access, perks, and non binding input on cosmetic and directional decisions. Ares United is a single owner company. That structure keeps members clear of securities regulation and keeps the org able to operate independently.

Do higher tiers get more voting weight?

No. Within any given poll, every Council member's vote counts equally. Your tier decides which polls you can access, not how much your vote counts inside them.

What kinds of decisions do members actually vote on?

Cosmetic and directional things: jersey colours, team name shortlists, charity recipient picks, merch design direction, content series ideas, sponsor categories, and roster shortlist input at higher tiers. Signing contracts, financial decisions, and operational moves stay with the founder.

How do I cancel or change my tier?

Anytime, through the Stripe Customer Portal linked in your member dashboard. Annual memberships are non refundable after 14 days, but they can be downgraded or cancelled and will not auto renew.

What is the difference between monthly and annual?

Annual saves you money. Most tiers give you the equivalent of two free months when you pay annually. Initiate is annual only.

What is the founder's pay tied to?

The founder's compensation is a private employment matter, not an org expense. Every other dollar in and out of Ares United is published in the monthly transparency report.

What happens if we do not make it to LAN?

The journey is the product. The path is real and ambitious, but the build in public mission, the content, and the community continue either way. You are paying for participation in the climb, not a guaranteed destination.

Will my information be public?

Only your chosen display name appears on the Council wall and in Build Log credits, and only at Warrior and above. Personal data is handled per our Privacy Policy and never sold.

Enlist

Take a seat.

Founding members keep their pricing for life and get credited in the first transparency report. Start wherever you are comfortable, and change it whenever you want.

Or read the ledger first

Every month we publish the full profit and loss statement, including every gifted sub routed to a creator, by name and amount.
