THE BOOK OF WAR (BETA)
Wars main purpose are to conclude or enhance conflicts and allow some interesting story telling. Wars are supposed to be a large scale event and as such should take place over a decent period of time (weeks to months).
To start a war, you first need to open a ticket and send the Terms of War (described below).
Once the Terms of War is posted staff will approve or deny the war, at which point (if approved) the opposing side will be added to the ticket.
From this point on, the point of the ticket is to finalize the terms of war. Any conversations should be fact based, the ticket is not the place to spread your propaganda or send flashy speeches. The defenders are allowed to propose changes to the Terms of War, primarily for time and date, though anything could be argued to be changed.
If both sides seem to be acting in good faith but cannot agree upon the Terms of War one of three things could happen:
If one side appears to be acting in bad faith when debating the terms of war, staff can step in to do one of the previous 3 options, OR give the other side extra power in determining the Terms of War.
The terms of war needs to be written and signed in the presence of the leaders of the two or sides battling.
The contract must contain:
- The reason for the war
- When the war starts/ends and where it will be held
- Who fights in the war (Are other people allowed to join in?)
- How battles are held (Last team to survive? Kill the leader? Damage to an area? Something else?)
- The win condition for the entire war (Or will it be an open conflict until one surrenders?)
- The consequences for the winning and losing side
- Third party mediators and judges, who will determine who wins
Example of consequence: Hand over a land, Disband a land or nation, Give reparations of loot or money, Convert religions, Change a flag/name, Ban a certain practice ect.
You can also specify any land flags that need to be set for the duration of the war or battles, such as TNT damage or fire spread.
It is specified on top that that you need a war reason to declare a war, here is a list of multiple war reason that can help you out get the war accepted.
You can still use your own role play reasons but having some of those will help you back up your claims of war.
The reason are sorted by how important they are, the lower in the list the most important they are and will help you get your war approved.
