- The Mission must be C Rank or higher.
- The Mission Type must not be Combat.
- The ambushers must meet the location requirement.
- A maximum of four characters may create an ambush group.
- Missions may be Ambushed up to 48 hours after the completion of the mission.


- The ambushing group enters into the mission topic. Each player must Copy/Paste their character page onto their first post.
- Once the first member of an ambush group enters the topic, the remaining members have 48 Hours to join it and cannot enter later.
- After 48 Hours, the mission group must respond to the ambush group's threat.
- If the Ambush Group has a member that is 2 Ranks above any of the mission group member, those members can abandon the mission.
- A Faction Guard may join within this period to assist the mission group, if its Faction Exclusive.
- During the first round of posting, neither group may engage in combat.
- Should the mission group realize they are outmatched, they may attempt to flee or bargain with the Ambushing Group, but escape is not guaranteed.
- WC completed by the mission group still counts towards WC Requirement but they cannot complete the Task until the ambush group's threat is dealt with.


- Each player may still claim WC they completed but gain none of the Rewards and gain no credit.
- The ambushing group can complete the mission, starting where the mission group left off in Word Count Requirement and earning all Rewards.
- The easiest way would be to offer the ambush group Jenny or items to complete the mission peacefully.
- This lead to Player vs Player (PvP) combat with the winning group given a chance to complete the mission, which may lead to death.
- Given the now increased number of players in the same topic, the "48-Hour Rule" should be enacted by both groups should it come to that.
