Well, it's that time of the year again.

If you're interested in volunteering as a moderator to help with the usual paperwork, make a post in this subforum using the template provided in the pinned thread. It takes a fair bit of time and dedication to stay on top of the paperwork and actually help lighten the workload, so please keep that in mind if applying.

This will run for three weeks, until September 24th, and the team will discuss your applications and contact you with more questions if needed.

Good luck.

In light of recent events (no pun intended) the team decided to revisit the old FR3 and simplify the event rules so one set of guidelines covers all events, rather than splitting the guidelines between unofficial events, official faction-sponsored events and official staff events, which admittedly was bit too convoluted and also pretty outdated compared to the multiple cleanup/simplification passes rest of the rules had gotten in more recent years. We'll also be looking at a suitable replacement for FR3, so pardon that bit of outdated text in faction rights for the time being.
It's sad that we even need to say this, really...

Needless to say, it's expected of anyone arranging events to utilize this moderately and with some common sense. Events shouldn't be set up in a way that'd be disruptive to normal gameplay (e.g. locking down large portions of main systems or for prolonged periods, etc). Also, players are encouraged to open their events to more IDs in advance if approached.

Play nice and have fun.
