Daldaen beat me to posting, so:

4) the guild has 60 min to engage the raid target. if they wipe, or exceed the 60 min limit on engaging, the raid target then becomes FFA and these footrace rules do not apply.

[Fri Oct 07 15:15:44 2016] Braknar shouts, ‘So we’re clear. Lady Nev should be considered FFA at this time. The FTE by Rustle and pull to ent wiped. Any incidental FTE after that should be considered invalid. Thanks.’

Using the first quote, it is obvious that "FFA" means that the mob is FFA for FTE'ing. What isn't clear is what rules do not apply.

1) At what point can a mob be locked after a wipe? Braknar states that incidental FTEs do not count. Does the mob need to reset? If it doesn't need to reset, which FTE of the 20 going off during a wipe is the new one? Can the guild that is wiping really claim a new FTE while wiping?

Our assumption is that the mob cannot be re locked while still in a raid's camp. It must leave the camp to be no longer considered "incidental". As for how far out of camp it must be, that is a mystery.

2) It was always understood that after a wipe, the guild which wipes is still locked on the mob for the remainder of the hour, or until it dies. With allowing other guilds to lock into the mob after you wipe, you are signing away the wiping guild's rights. If Guild A wipes on a mob, and Guild B locks the mob, Guild B can hold the mob for an hour, keeping Guild A locked from other mobs.

Our assumption is that the wiping guild is no longer locked into the mob, since it is owned by another. Diving deeper, *my* assumption is that the wiping guild is only unlocked once the mob is locked by another. A wipe does not negate your lock, but once the mob is owned by another, it cannot be owned by two guilds.

The assumptions made above are how Awakened interprets these scenarios. If these are incorrect, I would be happy to hear what the intent is from Sirken.
