			==Tabula Rasa (Weekly Reset)==
			At the start of every week (Fridays at 8pm EST), a '''"Tabula Rasa"''' will take place. When a Tabula Rasa occurs:

			* Each Faction Flag will be returned to their faction's Flag Room (even if was in the process of being Stolen or Carried by a player)
			* All Wayposts will set to Neutral status
			* All Faction Doors that were Damaged or Destroyed will be returned to Full Repair
			* Any Potential Faction Score that had been tracked for players (but not earned) will be cleared
			* The current Faction Dungeon will rotate (explained later)
			* Scoring and Rewards will be resolved for Faction Players

			'''<i>Note: The Waypost/Flag resetting feature of Tabula Rasa is intented to ensure that a single faction doesn't permanently maintain an exceptionally strong or weak position for weeks on end, such as holding either no flags, or multiple flags: it is intended to give each faction a "clean slate" each week to start their activities</i>'''

			[[File:factionstabularasa1.jpg\|link=]]


			==Faction Ranking==
			* During Tabula Rasa, each entire faction will receive a Last Week Tally based on how well that faction as a whole performed over the course of the previous week in regards to Waypost Control and Flag Captures, and will be ranked from 1st (best) through 4th (weakest)
			* This ranking will be used to determine the Handicap Bonus that each faction will experience for the coming week, as well as prevent players from Joining the faction that was in 1st place for Last Week Score (i.e. the strongest faction)

			[[File:factionsranking1.jpg\|link=]]


			==Faction Titles==
			* Players will gain access to Faction Titles, which are earned on a Seasonal basis
			* If a player has a Faction Title earned for this season, having "Display Faction Title" toggled will display it, and will override any Achievement Titles currently selected for the player; i.e. Faction Titles will take display priority over Achievement Titles
			* Faction Titles will NOT show up in the [Titles menu, only in the Factions Menu
			* Faction Titles are earned on a per-character basis (not per-account)
			* The Faction Title available to a player will be determined based on a Faction Title Tier assigned to them based on their seasonal [ServerRank results for Factions
