We all share a common goal to help this Free Company grow and be successful. Below are the rules to help guide you. Officers must follow the same rules & regulations of the Free Company.  These have been provided below, in an easy to read format. All members are welcome. We need to support them, and expect the best out of them. When we give up on members, we lose the focus of what this Free Company was built for. Everyone deserves a chance to have fun and be successful! For more information regarding Officer Specific Duties and how Officers will be promoted, demoted, and evaluated see the agreements listed at the bottom.

1) No Drama allowed:

  1. If conversations are getting out of hand, members will need to stop conversation.

  2. Any discussions that are racist or offensive are not allowed, and must stop immediately.

  3. If members are arguing, they will need to stop arguing in Free Company chat, and take it to private messages.

  4. If members do not stop the conversation/arguing in Free Company chat, an Officer should intervene.

  5. This may consist of a warning, private conversation, or in extreme cases, removing the offender from the Free Company.

  6. If members are disrespectful, or causing troubles in Discord, provide a warning. Pull the offender into a channel to discuss the situation in private. If they don't listen after numerous attempts, kick them from Discord.

2) All G’s are Created Equal:

  1. If officers bash other G’s for being a lesser G’ Free Company then they may be asked to step down.

  2. If members bash other G’s for being a lesser G' Free Company then they will be asked to stop. If they do not stop, we will start the warning process mentioned below.

  3. We reserve the right to remove members at our discretion.

3) Be Respectful to Members & Officers:

  1. This means a zero tolerance policy for racial slurs and derogatory comments towards gender identity in our In-Game FC Chat and our Discord Text Channels, this includes memes.

  2. Depending on the severity of the violation, this could result in a warning or immediate kick from the FC and Discord server.

4) Banning Members & Blacklist:

  1. If people are banned from Discord, the person who issues the ban must put their "in-game" name and the reason they are being banned in Discord in the β€œreason for ban” section.

5) Officer Chat Stays in Officer Chat:

  1. No quoting or sharing information from the Officer Linkshells, Officer Discord channels, Officer communications, or Private messages within the Free Company chat, personal Linkshells, or any other forms of communication.

  2. Officers will be demoted if they receive 3 active warnings. Their demotion rank will depend on the severity of the warnings.

7) Do not go Rogue:

  1. Do not make changes to rules on your own. All rule changes are discussed at Officer meetings.

  4. Do not interfere with other Free Companies outside of the G Alliance.

  5. We will not relay messages for other Free Companies, nor will we involve ourselves in their drama. This is regarding free companies outside of G'.

  6. Our goal is to not cause more issues, so let them negotiate their problems themselves. What they choose to do in their Free Companies is not our business. This is regarding free companies outside of G'.

9) Use of Macros:

  1. Please relay FC Events at the appropriate times they are advertised so all members have a chance to join the event. All official events in the FC are cross-world for our entire G’ Alliance can participate.

Macros are required a minimum of 4 x weekly for Trial Operations Officers/Operations Officers. Macros are required a minimum of 4 - 5 x weekly for Trial Executive Officers/Executive Officers. You can choose which macro you want to use to advertise. These do not have to be separate days, you can use macros as many times a day as you like as long as they are spread throughout the day and are not spammed all at once, and are spaced apart from another officers macro.

10) Officer Alt Characters:

  1. All Officer ranks (not including XOs) are limit to 2 FC branches, unless specifically asked by FC leader Nimbus to help out.

11) How to Handle Officers Who are On Leave, MIA, or Returning:

  2. We have a website and Discord server as ways to communicate with the Free Company.

  3. Officers who go On Leave Status: If an officer requests to be put on leave and returns within 14 days they may return to their previous rank as long as there is an opening for them to return to.

  1. Depending on the situation, officers will NOT be able to provide assistance without any proof. Examples of proof are screenshots and text logs.

  2. If an incident happens in-game or on Discord we would like a photo of the incident (text log) so that we can address the issue. Please provide the entire conversation so we have context instead of the one sentence that is bothersome.

  3. Please submit all photo evidence to an XO or Nimbus Tupti on Discord.

  4. If you have a problem with an officer, please send the complaint to either an XO or Nimbus Tupti on Discord, or you can submit a complaint on this website.

  5. Remember that our members come first in events. This means officers need to wait 15 minutes before joining unless section 14 rule 6 applies.

  6. If an Event Runner is needing additional officers to help run extra parties, the additional officer helpers need to run the secondary or third group parties on the same world as the Event Runner (Leviathan, Famfrit, Ultros, etc.).

  7. If a member is being disruptive during an event - tell the member to stop. If they do not stop being disruptive, they should be issued a strike. Send them a message in discord or in game stating the reason they are getting a strike, and that is however many strikes out of their allotted 3 strikes. The strike will need to be documented in the β€˜Strike documentation for Event Runners’ thread of the #✨-event-runner-channel-for-questions G’ Discord channel.

  8. If a member is disruptive 3 times that has been documented in the β€˜Strike documentation for Event Runners’ thread of the #✨-event-runner-channel-for-questions G’ Discord channel then you can issue another strike, written out the same way as in rule 7.

  9. If a member gets 2 event runner strikes, then they are banned from FC events (not including the bi-monthly alliance event) until one strike falls off and they have 1 strike only (6 months).

15) The Warning System:

  2. Members who cause constant issues, toe-the-line, or are banned from our community will not be welcome back to the in-game FC in FFXIV or to our discord server.

  4. Warnings / strikes fall off after 6 months.

  5. Warning #1: The first warning will result in the cabinet / moogle mud butt / naughty list rank only if the offender is breaking our chest rules. If you are in the cabinet / moogle mud butt / naughty list rank for breaking the chest rules, then you will be in that rank indefinitely until you have acknowledged that you broke that rule in a direct message to one of the upper officers who try to contact you. Otherwise, the first warning would not be a change of rank for the offender.

  7. Warning #3: This will result in being banned from the Free Company in Game and our Discord server.

  13. Chocobo Dyes: These are given to our members for free when requested. We offer 1 scheme (color) monthly based on availability.

  14. Selling Items in the Chest: All items that are to be sold go to tab 5 and our CFO (Chief Financial Officer) will sell them items and place the gil back into the FC Chest.
