### Valor Members

Members get reinvited every uhc season as they are valor members, as long as they can make the date. Unless a member is kicked, or cannot make the season, they will usually participate, especially if they are in the SMP and are somewhat active within the group. Atleast one additions are added nearly every season to fresh up the roster, while keeping the same general roster identity/persona known as the Valor group. UHC Guests are invited, and are generally guests or invitations sent out to non-valor members to play the season.

## Valor Conspiracy

Main Article: Valor Conspiracies

1. SquidBopHD left Valor on September 4th, 2017. It's said that Zak was attempting to have three Valor members hack in SquidBopHD's UHC, "Flawless." However Zak claims this is not true and it would of been done anyway by the three members, who were previously not allowed to play in Valor UHC if they are in Flawless. This lead to many players leaving, such as SquidBopHD on September 4th, SaltyFish on September 4th, and DarkTroll in September 12th.
2. ThunderzYT left Valor October 21st. 2017 due to inability to organize a uhc without redoing. He left and his words were impactful on three other members who left. (Including Panz: Oct 21st) (Poex: Oct 22nd) (BluDerp: Oct 22nd)
3. GaryMC was supposively caught xraying in Valor UHC Season 4. He could either face 1 season suspension or a permanent ban depending on if he posts his perspective or not.
	* Gary as of November 15th will most likely not be banned from Valor, however is still on trial and may last until season 5's debut.
	* This has sparked debate on whether Zak made the right decision by keeping Gary in Valor, because cheaters should never be in the group at all. Zak came back noting that their wasn't any proof beyond the spectator's that caught the stripmine history.
4. On November 18th 2018 Controversy hit Valor after it was leaked that a DM group called Zak is a turtle got leaked this was a group of Valor Members who spread Drama and Gossip about Zak and a few other Topics this was the start of the Decline for Valor Many Valor members started to leave Valor and their was huge falling out between members over the following weeks. The Drama was Patched up for the most part a number of weeks later and a few members came back to Valor. The following are results of this incident.
	* The Council was temporarily disbanded
	* Many Valor Members who are apart of AcerClass threatened and did leave Valor temporarily over a falling Out between Valor Owner ZakAttackYT and AcerClass Founder JaicePyro.
		+ JaicePyro was removed from Council after this Controversy and Silent\_Nike took his place in council.
			- Jaice rejoined the Council shortly after, but not as a full member.
	* Zak gave up Organizer and Owner Position of Valor Temporarily while this Drama was happening. Pottery & TBT mostly took over, but it was up to most of old Council's job to keep the group going.
	* This Blow to Valor left the group in ruins for awhile with no real direction to take Valor. Valor is still feeling the Effects of this Controversy.
		+ By June 2019, Zak and Jaice still hold a grudge and typically refrain from each other.
5. In April 2019, there was yet another gossip or private chat for all council members, including Jaice. Zak wasn't notified about this until Jaice got angry at Zak about asking him to not be cussing in future seasons. When Zak found out about it, the trust between Zak & Council completely vanished and Zak felt completely betrayed
	* It's taken a lot to regain the trust, but the old group chemistry will probably never return, leaving a disconnection between Zak & Valor members.
