Faction Play: FvA Launch!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, Illyrians!
I am pleased to announce that FvA (Faction versus Alliance) is now live! 

What is FvA? 

Bascially, FvA is Faction Play. It is a gaming system wiithin Illyriad (a game within the game) that governs how Faction Players and Alliance Players can interact with one another. FvA is not an event or tournament -- it's going to be happening all the time.

I am not going to publish all of the rules here because they are volumnious and are subject to additions, deletions, and changes in the future. Here are links to the Google Docs -- I recommend bookmarking these links and/or putting them on your profile:

FvA Complete Rules -- This document is organized in an "FAQ" format and has a Table of Contents for quick reference: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-j6kJzo1VhjW-kmuEqlDPa-aCe6C3Nsv5UzeTaHxHyo
FvA Faction Player's Guide -- If you are a Faction Player, think of this as a "Quick Start Guide:" https://docs.google.com/document/d/11VMHpFJTY0lyLqt-SPV7HLn7I5OdluG13HnfeseBxRE/
FvA Opt-in Badge -- Want to opt into FvA? Stick this badge on your profile: https://assets.illyriad.net/filter?url=https://i.ibb.co/D7T7TPF/Faction-Play-Opt-In-Badge.jpg
Faction Play Alliance Rankings -- check your alliance's rankings with the Factions in real time: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uoMq3KZQDhywSucwA-9tmb_NfO3tIFDz-OU6_gdPL5w
FvA is designed to be the closest thing to "Faction A.I" in illyriad. It is not PvP. Factions and their Players are not looking to "win" or "dominate" other players; think of Faction Players as "actors" or "cast members" -- we are trying to create an experience for other players in the game, much in the same way that we imagined what NPC Factions would do. The only difference is that FvA is powered by "Faction H.I." (human intelligence).

Some key things to remember about FvA:
Everyone who is involved is opted in and 100% consenting to the action. No one will be targeted against their will.
Factions will engage and react to you based on your alliance's current rankings with their Faction -- just like Faction AI.
Role playing is not required, but encouraged.
All in all, Faction Play and FvA is designed for you, the player, to have fun. The Faction Play circuit is committed to making the game more fun and less toxic through role play-inspired interactions that allow you to experience the full range of Illyriad without the interpersonal drama.

We hope you'll give it a try! Any questions, feel free to IGM Jejune. Thanks!
