Welcome to Sleepy

Please carefully read through everything to get a better understanding of our Free Company.

About Sleepy...

After browsing a few recruitment posts, you decide to check the Free Company known as Sleepy. When you approached the large Ishgardian plot you find several individuals hanging outside, amongst them is a peach-haired au ra who greets you."Hello, are you interested in joining our free company?" They tilt their head.

• • •

Thank you for showing interest in joining this Free Company! We’re a FC focused on creating a small and inclusive community that helps each other during our adventures in Eitherys. Our goal is to ensure a safe and enjoyable space in which we can comfortably enjoy content together. This content includes: farming glamour, mounts, minions, doing the occasional extreme, alliance, and normal/savage raids, helping each other during the leveling grind, gpose contests, and being comfy at the FC house. Please keep in mind that we are not a raiding-focused FC. If you’re looking to do savage content, please know that our members may only be available when the tier unlocks.

The Sleepy Environment...

Our goal at Sleepy is to remain a laid-back and inclusive FC where its members can progress at their own pace and have people to run content with! We plan to stay relatively small to create a sense of community and closeness. There are no requirements to being socially active, but we do encourage members to interact with each other! If you enjoy the luxury of quantity and constant chatter, perhaps this FC isn’t the one for you.While we do have raiders in our FC, we are not a "raiders-only" FC, so please don't be discouraged or allow that to be the main reason you join. We do, however, encourage our members to be open-minded and have a growth-mindset. Nothing's more rewarding than learning and improving together.Due to the various comfort levels of our members, we keep RP out of the FC channel, say channel and Discord. Discord isn't required, but it's the easiest way for members to communicate and plan member-ran events.As for buffs, we rotate between EXP buffs, TP buffs, Food buffs, and MGP buffs!

Who we're looking for...

We're open to anyone from sprouts to vets, and we celebrate diversity and people from all walks of life. We aim to lift others in their troubles—we don't want individuals who aim to cause trouble, spread toxicity, or are constantly pessimistic. Please keep in mind that we want to foster an inclusive environment, if that's not something you're comfortable with you may want to look elsewhere.Due to the large variety of individuals in the FC currently, we're always looking to recruit those who have interests outside FFXIV such as artists, writers, MMO gamers, and more! Who knows, you might end up making a new friend in the FC.

• • •

In conclusion, Sleepy is the place for you if you're someone who...
generally plays in the afternoons to evenings.
likes attending occasional FC-hosted events.
enjoys doing their own thing / is a self-driven player.
would like some guidance when it comes to content.
is able to "vibe" with other players without the need for constant chatter.

What are our activity requirements?

Sleepy does not have a strict activity requirement. We get it if life gets in the way or a new game comes out! You aren't required to be active every day, and you don't have to be super involved in the community to remain in Sleepy. However, we do ask that you communicate if you do happen to take a long break from XIV. We plan to remain a relatively small FC – to make this possible, Sleepy does keep an eye on activity.

• • •

Checklist I follow when determining member activity...
I do occasional activity checks in the form of Google Forms – it's the easiest and least intrusive way for me to check if an individual has been online and reviewing the company board or Discord news channel .
Should a member go inactive for 90+ days without noticed , they'll be removed during the next sweep of activity checks.
If an inactive member has made significant contributions to the FC or has been notably active member in the past – they'll be immediately given the "Hibernating” role.
Should a "Hibernating” member be found more inactive than active in Sleepy, they will be removed.

Rules & Expectations

Before you can join our ranks, please keep in mind that all members of Sleepy must agree to these rules and expectations. This is to ensure everyone has a proper understanding of what behavior is permitted in the FC. While you are not required to join the Discord, it is highly advised to do so.Golden Rule: No bigotry, no racism, no sexism, no classism, no discrimination, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no harassment. Sleepy is an inclusive community, and we prohibit harassment or discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability.

Rule 1: Handle it privately first then involve me |
Sleepy does not have officers or moderators aside from me, Aki Higanbana, this is so we can foster an environment in which individuals can treat each other equally and with respect. If an individual privately reaches out to you — listen and avoid taking it personally. Confrontations are difficult for both sides, so please avoid handling it with aggression or with a knee-jerk emotional reaction. If things do not change after your exchange, please reach out to me via the 📨-submit-a-modmail channel in the Discord. I am a busy individual, so please be respectful and patient.

Rules & Expectations (Cont.)

Rule 2: Be respectful & flexible |
The internet is a vast place, and since we all come from different backgrounds, we will encounter people unlike ourselves. Everyone has differing opinions, try to avoid fighting others to change theirs. If someone is saying something you disagree with, try to resolve it maturely by communicating with them in private. If it is something that specifically breaks the golden rule above – submit a ticket in the 📨-submit-a-modmail channel in the Discord.

Rule 3: Be mature and use common sense |
Maturity and common sense vary from person to person, but let’s avoid annoying others and intentionally causing conflict. No one has time to handle needless arguing, so if there’s an individual that particularly annoys you, you can either utilize the block/mute/ignore feature or speak to them privately. If either of these methods do not resolve the matter, please 📨-submit-a-modmail, and I will review it as quickly as possible.

Rule 4: No serious topics & debates |
To avoid needless friction and potentially offending other members, I kindly ask that you avoid debating and discussing controversial topics (politics and what not). FFXIV and, by extension, this FC may serve as an escape for others from these things. You may talk about real-life scenarios, but please do so with caution, and please utilize the spoiler tag for potentially triggering subjects. If asked to remove your message, please do so with grace. This rule applies to both in-game FC chat and the FC discord.

Rules & Expectations (Cont.)

Rule 5: Post in the appropriate channel |
The Discord channel category, channel name, channel topic and pinned messages are there to help you. If I ask you to move to a different channel or thread, please do so gracefully. You won’t get into trouble, this rule is to ensure that the channels are used appropriately. Some members have specific categories and channels muted to avoid certain topics and notifications.
While the above rule applies specifically to Discord; a similar, same rule applies to in-game. Do your best to avoid using the FC chat as your public diary, and avoid discussing major plot points as to avoid spoiling content for other people in the FC.

Rule 6: Keep personal discourse private |
Don’t let your personal opinions about a specific individual determine the manner in which you treat them. If you can’t interact with them maturely or with respect, consider utilizing the block/mute/ignore feature. If you feel that the Golden Rule has been broken, please 📨-submit-a-modmail in the Discord.

Rules & Expectations (Cont.)

Rule 7: Sexual content is prohibited |
To keep rules consistent across all platforms, NSFW content is also not permitted in the FC in-game chat (FC Chat) or in FC public spaces (the FC house). Also keep in mind, other members have not consented to seeing NSFW content. While we welcome your love for certain XIV-related characters, please avoid going into sexual-detail about them. In layman’s terms, don’t be horny on main.

Rule 8: Roleplay and sexually-driven discussion are prohibited in public channels |
While Sleepy welcomes individuals with roleplaying interests, we have designated our FC chat and Discord server as RP free zones. If you’re looking for an FC that engages in RP, Sleepy may not be the right place for you.

Rule 9: For Third-Party-Tools |
For obvious reasons, please ensure that all discussions regarding these tools are not in-game, as XIV does not permit the use of these tools. If you are caught discussing something that could be referring to said topic, I will ask you to change the subject.
Please see the FC Discord for further elaboration on this rule.

Rules & Expectations (Cont.)

Rule 10: All of the above stated rules apply to both in-game and in this discord |
All members of Sleepy are required to review these rules. By submitting an application, accepting an invitation to the FC, and joining this Discord you agree to follow these rules. If you feel that you cannot abide by these rules, I encourage you to find an FC/server that is more suited to your interests and level of comfort.

• • •

For current members, if a member happens to break a rule please avoid mini-modding (assuming the position of a moderator) as it can cause needless tension. You may gently change the topic of discussion, suggest the a solution, or contact Aki Higanbana via in-game or in the Discord for more input. If an interaction with another member has wronged you (and does not break the golden rule), please discuss it privately first and if it is not resolved 📨-submit-a-modmail. If it directly breaks the golden rule, immediately 📨-submit-a-modmail.
