| Purpose of War:
The purpose of having one clan war against another is all for the sake of
settling disputes which cannot be settled through normal diplomatic means.
This could be because of (but not limited to) valuable or q eq, continued
disrespect of on clan directed against another, a roleplay
reason, etc etc.
The Purpose of War is NOT:
To be a quick fix to alleviate someone's boredom.
When someone becomes a member in a clan, they are NOT automatic
pkill targets. They DO become at risk, should their clans enter
into a war, but that does not mean that they are automatically
available to be targetted. There must be an actual reason for a war.
This is NOT a pkill only mud, so pkillers must realize that there
is a significant amount of people here on Aarchon who do NOT enjoy
the odd friendly duel, or enjoy welcoming death in any way shape
or form at all. In fact, there are many people who do not even
partake in the warfares at all either for the same reasons.
Also, reasons such as "XXX Paid me to go to war against XXX clan" are
not acceptable. If payment were a reason to go to war, then hire yourself
out as a personal mercenary, and join the clans involved temporarialy.
(in other words, that reason is far too 'i just pulled it out of my ass'
to be an acceptable justification for a clanwar)
What this means for clanwars:
In a nutshell, this means that in order to declare a clanwar,
it will take a little bit of effort, and some brain power.
If there is no reason for a war, or there is no VIABLE reason
for a war, then its existance will be voided. Thus, that means
that people are going to have to make sure that they actually think.
This means that there will not be anyone declaring war for lame reasons
such as "umm...some guy killed me, so i need to assassinate their whole
clan" or "i'm bored" or "there's too many of them online" or any
anti-imm reasons, like "I hate Parademia" or "Gani's followers must die!"
or any of a number of other similarly unacceptable reasons.
How can I start a war then?:
In order for your clan to declare war upon another, you MUST post a
roleplay note to either the roleplay board, or to IMMORTAL on the
roleplay board (for those of you who's clan's roleplay could be
compromised by posting a roleplay note on the subject). In either
case, notification of the reasons why the war is required MUST
be made available so that your war is not ended by outside powers.
If elders of BOTH clans wish to war, then roleplay rules may be
loosened, just so long as the roleplay departement is notified.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO UNDERSTAND:
When someone is made a member rank, it does not mean that they are
automatically your targets to kill for a clanwar, only if there is a
genuine reason to war their clan, can you do this. Clanwar IS a risk
that someone member ranked does put themselves in, but it does not
mean that they should (or will) be put at risk of being involved
with wars that have no reason for existing in the first place.
This is also not a roleplay only mud, or a pkill only mud, thus, for
there to be a clanwar situation, the pkillers and the roleplayers must
meet half way, and both put some effort into creating and ending a war
using roleplay and pkill. Also, please remember that blaming a clan
for the actions of one person who is already Pkill is not a reason for
attacking their entire clan, since they can individually be dealt with.
***** If you wish to go to war, but your reasons seem to conflict with
the existing standards, please approach any one of the three immortals involved
with the Roleplay Dept (-->Xzylvador, Qmtarr<--), and give them
your scenario, afterwards, they will either grant or deny your request.*****
