WAR CLANWAR
Syntax: clanwar - Your clan's diplomatic status clanwar <other_clan> war - Go to War! clanwar <other_clan> truce <hours> - Seek out a truce clanwar <other_clan> peace - Make peace clanwar <other_clan> treaty - Sign a peace treaty clanwar <other_clan> status - shows the other_clan's clanwar status In the world of Aarchon, if two clans have a feud which cannot be resolved by diplomatic means, they may declare WAR upon each other! This action is not without teeth, as it suddenly opens up the world of player killing to those players who are normally reserved from such matters. Although low- ranking individuals are usually spared, full members of warring clans may be attacked and killed by those in the opposing clan! (See HELP RANK for additional information on this.) For warring clans who wish to parley with each other and discuss terms, a temporary TRUCE may be called for a number of game hours. During this time, the enemies may interact freely. A good soldier will continue to look over his or her shoulder often during these circumstances however, since an elder of either clan may suddenly end the truce, opening the doors for an ambush! During peacetime, two clans may wish to form a more lasting friendship. The topmost clan ranks may negotiate and sign a TREATY between their clans, which will disallow their clans from taking hostile action toward each other. Under harsh circumstances however, even a treaty may be broken by an angry Patron who wishes to send his clan to war. All clan war actions are recorded and announced globally by the clan heralds, so even the most dastardly deeds will be given a moment's warning. Members of an opposing clan are denoted by a 'W' in the who list. Members of an opposing clan with a truce currently in effect are denoted by a 'T' in the who list. Opposing clan members who are not attackable by you will be denoted by a lower-case 'w' or 't', respectively. Type "CLANWAR" by itself for a status update for your clan. **To prevent abuse, there are some rules in clanwar. **Read help 'newclanwar' for these rules.
