The Vision
To create a community center for gamers in every city in the nation:
To give small groups a place where they can go to gather, plan events, and socialize without fear of social ridicule;
To help teens and young adults integrate into society, and to overcome basic adversities and trials of life;
To increase awareness/education about professionalism, business and independent living, including life management and overall financial independence, for teens and young adults;
To share our core values throughout Harrison County, surrounding counties and throughout the nation;
To increase social awareness of suicide prevention, social anxiety disorders, autism, PTSD, and other factors that affect the lives of gamers and the youth of America.
The Values
Everyone has a place in the world. (No one should be left out.)
Everyone has the right to know how to be successful.
Everyone has the right to knowledge.
Help is here, if you want it, need it, and are willing to accept it.
The small choices you make today effect the big decisions you will make for the rest of your life. Make good decisions.
The 3 P’s – Positive, pleasant, and polite to everyone that is an active member.

A primary goal of the Corydon Gamer Association is to be inclusive to the largest number of contributors, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds possible. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof).

4. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community organizers may take action. Reponses may include:
o Doing nothing if we determine no violation has occurred.
o A private or public reprimand/warning of violating the code of conduct.
o A request for an apology, private or public.
o A temporary or permanent ban from our community events (and without refund in the case of a paid event)

o Reporting to law enforcement or other appropriate authority.
5. Reporting Guidelines
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify a community organizer as soon as possible. All reports will be handled with discretion.
When notifying an organizer, please include your contact information, the names of those involved, and if there were any additional witnesses. Tell us your account of what occurred, if you believe the incident is ongoing and any additional information that may help.
After notifying an organizer, they will review the incident, with another organizer, if possible, follow up with any additional questions and decide as to how to respond. If the person who is harassing you is an organizer, they will not handle your incident.
Additionally, community organizers are available to help community members engage with local law enforcement, or to otherwise help those experiencing unacceptable behavior feel safe. In the context of in-person events, organizers will also provide escorts as desired by the person experiencing distress.
6. Addressing Grievances
If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should notify Aqeel Cetawayo or Tony Mitchell with a concise description of your grievance. Community organizers will review the grievance and notify the reporter of a resolution.
7. Scope
We expect all community participants (contributors, paid or otherwise; sponsors; and other guests) to abide by this Code of Conduct in all community venues – online and in-person, as well as in all one-on-one communications pertaining to community business.
This Code of Conduct and its related procedures also applies to unacceptable behavior occurring outside the scope of community activities when such behavior has the potential to adversely affect the safety and well-being of community members.
The Code is not a rulebook or exhaustive. It serves to distill our common understanding of this community. We expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter.
