The Underground Mafias Army (UMA) of January 2018 was a group of remaining troops (who did not swear allegiance to renegade Mason Cooper and his New Underground Mafias Army faction) as a contingency of the de facto reigning UMA authority. Oversaw by Dillon and Games, the loyalist UMA forces competed to maintain their legitimacy as the formal UMA representative during the UMA Civil War of 2018 in which the New Viking Alliance attempted (but ultimately failed) to formally depose Dillon.
The faction would not last more than a month, as Twitchy543 would broker unification between the two factions in which NUMA would cease operations and Dillon would be allowed to retain power, however Mason was guaranteed a seat in leadership. While prevailing in the end and thus the NVA's objectives to see Dillon were thwarted, Dillon would continue to cede power on the unified UMA.
This faction has commonly been given the conjectural name of EHUMA, although contrary to public legend this name was never formally used by Dillon's faction during the war and even retroactive to the war the conjectural name had no official meaning (instead implying it was Dillon's faction due to it taking the first two letters of his former username).
History
Background
On January 7th, 2018, a failed coup d'etat would be attempted on long-time Underground Mafias Army leader Dillon by his lieutenant Mason Cooper. Mason would receive formal recognition by UMA guardian Eyes521 to become leader in the internal aftermath of the War Against Ehroyals after Mason illegally negotiated with the New Viking Alliance. This recognition was the conditional, however.
For formal recognition to take effect though, Dillon would have had to been guaranteed a position on the Discord and treated with respect—something Mason did not extend to Dillon (instead informing him that he was unilaterally making a new Discord whether Dillon was cooperative or not). Mason's loyalists would depart for the renegade New Underground Mafias Army.
UMA Civil War
Main Article: UMA Civil War of 2018
Dillon would formally continue UMA de facto (albeit still grappling with the loss of some of their members and a disputed legitimacy claim due to Mason's interpretation of Eyes' conditions). Alongside Dillon, Games would lead the UMA during the civil war. The civil war by both sides was considered a cold conflict, aside from a brief engagement in which the UMA would raid NUMA.
The war would ultimately come to a close with a brokered peace by Twitchy543, an advisor for the UMA contingency. Ultimately, the UMA would be formally victorious although strategically Mason would also be victorious as he would become a formal leader in the newly unified UMA. Dillon still maintained the ultimate decision after the war as the army's premier and owner of both the website and Discord.
