Rules
The Basics
1.) Treat each other with respect. The golden rule applies everywhere. We should not have to list out everything that is disrespectful. Use your head, and you'll be fine.
2.) Do not troll, spam, flame or get into any sort of controversial, political, or religious debates/discussions in any public FC channel. There are other chats/forums for that talk, or you may discuss it in private.
3.) When representing the FC in game, please try to set a good example. Do not be rude to PUG groups, crash other FC's or public event roleplay inappropriately, or be a general nuisance in game. If an officer hears of this kind of behavior from any of our members, be aware that it will be immediately addressed.
4.) Hokkaido Wolf Pack «WP» is respective of all types of people, including those of differing sexual orientations, gender identities, religious views, and other assorted sensitive issues. If you can only refer to things as "gay" or compare poor raid runs to being "raped", you will not find a home here.
5.) As implied above, we are an LGBTQ+ friendly FC. Please do not refer to people as "traps", "transvestites" or any other outdated slang/offensive term for any member of the LGBTQ+ community.
6.) We are an 18+ guild only. No exceptions.
Free Company Rules
1.) In game, new members with the "PSI (a.k.a. Subordinate)" rank should not buy a room in the FC house until they are made a "Hokkaido Pack Member." Thank you for your cooperation.
2.) Do not beg for gil or game items.
3.) Do not attempt to sell items to members. If you want to sell something for gil, use the market board for its intended purpose.
4.) We are an adult guild, so swearing is allowed in all channels. However, we are also friends, so if someone is sensitive to a certain word, please be respectful.
5.) While no one is perfect, please try to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It makes a difference, especially during roleplay. Folks that do not follow this usually have a difficult time finding roleplay with us, in most cases.
6.) In game FC Chat is for OOC talk. Discord channels are all labeled for their uses.
7.) Do not spam images, videos, or memes in Discord. Linking an occasional video or whatnot is just fine! But spamming is never fine.
8.) Keep ALL pornographic/lewd/NSFW content in the #nsfw channel. Also, obey all rules within said channel. It's not a free-for-all and some kinks are meant to be shamed.
NOTE: Do not post ANY pornographic/lewd/NSFW content of Lalafell or any child-like/diminutive fantasy race. According to Discord devs they are considered minors, and our server would risk deletion.
9.) Absolutely do not post, link, or talk about spoilers for FFXIV, any other games, or movies. Please, be considerate of your FC mates. Spoilers are literally the worst.
Character Rules
1.) Standard unwritten roleplay rules are in practice here. No godmodding, killing or severely injuring another character without player consent, etc. If you have a question about something going on in RP, do not hesitate to ask either in FC chat or privately.
2.) Do not assume another character's participation in your plot or event without OOC communication first. If something drastic is likely going to happen to another character in your roleplay, please give the player as much OOC heads up as you can. Better to spoil the story than to sour a friendship!
3.) We are an FC that abides within the parameters of the FFXIV universe and its lore. Logical head-canon is welcome and very accepted, but blatant outliers that are not supported at all by this game's lore (ex: vampires, werewolves, angels/demons, cyborgs, androids) cannot find a home in this FC. This rule includes alts. If you have a question, ask!
4.) Having multiple RP linkshells and/or FCs on alts is allowed, of course. However, please make sure you have ample time to devote to your character within this FC.
5.) All characters must be listed on the FC document. Officers like to and need to know who is who so everything stays organized. Please keep this information up to date; unlisted characters risk removal from the FC in game.
Event Rules
1.) Participation in events, whether RP or dungeons or otherwise, is highly recommended. There is no quota that you have to meet on a weekly or monthly basis or anything like that. But, as a guild and your friends, we want to see you around!
2.) FC events can take place both in game and Discord Channels. If you wish to participate with the FC fully, having those two options available is essential. Contact an officer if you have questions.
3.) Check the #announcements channel, #events and/or the FC Calendar when inquiring about events/dungeons/happenings in the FC before asking! The officers work very hard to be transparent and informative by posting these things so members can easily find what they need at any given time. Please use them and stay informed!
These rules are subject to change at any time. Please ask an ANY high ranking pack member if you have questions.
