Our Rules
Below you will find the rules for our Free Company. These rules are intended to ensure that everyone in this FC has a fun, enjoyable experience. If you have any questions about these rules, please do not hesitate to contact an Archon!
Be respectful towards your fellow FC members.
Follow the FFXIV User Agreement.
Maintain appropriate discussions.
Officers have the final say.
IMPORTANT! Our FC maintains an expectation of in-game activity. Click the button to the right for more information about activity requirements.
Rule 1: Be respectful towards your fellow FC members.
We encourage you to socialize with your fellow FC members so that you can find new friends that you enjoy hanging out with. However, sometimes another FC member might rub you the wrong way. We understand that, in a large FC, not everybody is going to get along. And that's fine! However, you must still be respectful of your fellow FC members, even if you don't always agree.This means that no harassment of any kind will be tolerated. This includes, but is by no means limited to:• Swearing, cursing, or other being nasty towards other FC members in-game or on the Discord• Stirring up false rumors about other FC members• Intentionally creating drama between membersIf you have a problem with a specific member, you are encouraged to speak to an officer in the FC as soon as possible so that we can resolve the issue.In addition to this, we ask that members refrain from excessive negativity. We understand that sometimes, life sucks, and it can be helpful to speak to others as an outlet for those problems. But if you're only bringing up negative things on a regular basis, that can dampen other people's moods as well, and hurts the social aspect of the FC. We encourage anyone who is struggling with excessive feelings of negativity and depression to seek professional help.
Rule 2: Follow the FFXIV User Agreement.
We do not endorse any form of Real Money Trading, botting, or any other serious behaviors that would violate the FFXIV User Agreement.While we do not forbid the use or discussion of any third-party apps, you should remember that their use is technically forbidden by Square Enix. You take sole responsibility for any addons you choose to install, and any risks associated with their use.
Rule 3: Maintain appropriate discussions.
As an 18+ FC, we are generally permissive of all sorts of discussions. However, there are limits to this.• We do not permit political discussion in any form. Everyone has their own points of view and we try not to get into that, as such discussions tend to get heated.• We ask that you maintain a "No Spoilers" rule outside of the designated Discord channel for spoilers. This also means in-game.• We do not permit any excessively grotesque, graphic, or disturbing conversations. While some lewd discussion is acceptable, for example, there is a limit. This also means that posting NSFW content is expressly forbidden.• In addition to the restrictions above, any photographic content containing lalafell in any sort of questionable or lewd situations will be deleted without warning. This is due to Discord's rules of conduct.
Rule 4: Officers have the final say.
While we have tried to make sure that these rules cover an extensive variety of situations, there are always going to be situations that fall beyond the purview of these rules. We ask that our members do not actively seek out "loopholes" or try to find ways around the spirit of these rules. A good rule of thumb is that, if it feels like something you're going to post would break a rule, it's better off for you not to post it.This also means that in cases where a potential rule violation has occurred, the officers' judgment is final. Officers will consider both sides of the situation and make their judgment as fairly as they can with the information they have been given. We ask that our members abide by these decisions.If you are uncertain about something, or feel that something needs to be changed, please speak with the officers using the appropriate means (such as our #ðŸ’-feedback channel).
Activity Requirements
Our FC maintains an expectation of activity, according to the following rules:Adventurer can be inactive for no more than 30 days.
Crystal Braves can be inactive for no more than 60 days.
Scion can be inactive for no more than 90 days.We perform purges of inactive members every two months at the start of the month. We do this to ensure a continual influx of new members. If you end up purged from the FC due to inactivity, you are always welcome to come back when you return!If you know in advance that you will not be able to play the game for an extended period of time, and wish to make sure that you are not purged for inactivity, please follow the directions below to inform us that you will be going on hiatus.1) In the #â›±-hiatus-requests channel on our Discord, create a Thread by selecting the "Threads" button (the one shaped like a hashtag "#") at the top of the channel, followed by the "Create" button.2) Make sure that the checkbox which reads "Only people you invite and moderators can see" is checked on. This will make the thread private.3) Be sure to post your In-Game Name in the thread (so that we can look up your rank and change you to the hiatus status) and whether or not you have an FC room.4) Ping the Archon rank in your newly created thread so that all of the senior officers can see your thread.A character on hiatus will be placed in the "Bill's PC" rank in-game, and will remain there for up to 150 days. When you return from hiatus, please inform the senior officers immediately by posting in the thread that you previously created, and pinging the Archon rank again.Alt characters cannot be placed on hiatus unless they have an FC room.

Contestants must adhere to the contest theme to receive consideration. Details of this contest theme are coming soon!
Contestants may not use cash shop items in their glamour. This is to avoid giving unfair advantages to those who might be able to buy more fancy store-bought glamour items, and to encourage creativity with the items already available in the game.
FC members may also enter to participate as a judge in the contest. If you wish to be a judge for this contest, please inform the event coordinator via Discord DMs as soon as possible. Judges will be selected one week prior to the contest date. If you are not selected to judge, you may still choose to participate in the contest, but those chosen as judges may not participate in the contest themselves.
If you are unable to attend, but still wish to participate for photo purposes, you must complete the following requirements in advance of the contest date: First, you must still sign up using the form link above. Second, you must assemble your glamour as far in advance of the date as possible. Third, you must contact the FC photographer (Marina) and arrange to get your character model for photos. Be warned that while we will make an attempt to include you in group photos, we cannot promise it.
