Guildwar



Shadowclan uses guildwar to recognize other  players interested in interacting with Shadowclan.  Setting up guildwar with shadowclan does not mean you will be attacked on sight everytime you encounter an orc.  It does mean you will be able to interact with us without any fear of being criminal flagged or getting murder counts.  Due to the annoymous nature of murder reporting, we can make no guareentees regarding murder counts if you do not have guildwar set up with us.

We only have a few simple rules for setting up and maintaining guildwar status.  We declare war on guilds that:


(A) want to roleplay with shadowclan with the possibility of player versus player fighting,
(B) are committed to improving their roleplay,
(C) do not allow the use of illegal external programs (same policy as OSI on that) or bug exploitation,
(D) respect the people who play the orcs, out of character,
(E) follow simplified rules of engagement (SRoE),
(F) have control of their members such that repeat problem makers, members with no interest in respecting others, and/or members that do not attempt to roleplay are kicked off of their guildstone.
(G) will declare on all the Shadowclan guildstones, and will not seek to attack the orcs until guildwar is mutually declared with the majority of clan guildstones
(H) will seek to work out agreements to set up guildstone war with other roleplay guilds that are allies of shadowclan (it is understood that sometimes such agreements will not be able to be worked out).
(I) will loot only what the looter himself has a use for (so don't loot armor unless you plan on wearing it, or don't loot weapons unless you are going to use them yourself).
(J) have their guild titles turned ON



The simple rules of engagement (SRoE) are:

(1) do not attack players that obviously have lost connection,
(2) after resurrecting, a player remains in death robes, and doesn't talk, and doesn't participate further in that battle. Death robed players that follow this rule are not to be attacked. Death robed players may loot their own corpses.



In order to help us keep our members out of towns (what business do orcs have in town anyways?), members of guilds we are at war with are encouraged to attack orcs on sight in towns.
