1 - Make sure you have a valid reason to start a war, and make sure you try diplomatic solutions beforehand, wars can be long winded and are often bad for RP, and so should be avoided.

2 - Both sides must elect one representative for the clan, this person should be the most active during the war, and the one who overall decides when the clan is to surrender should the time come. (Both sides must make it Very clear who this person is to the enemy.

3 - If your clan is at war, and you are on the server, set your jobs and join in, although wars can be annoying, especially for newer players who can't afford a lot of guns. If you do not want to take part, leave the clan.

4 - If your clan has been bested by your opponent (For example you have all been captured, and have no way of being freed) Do not refuse to accept defeat, losing is hard but it must be done.

5 - Wars are about attacking and defending, setting up a stronghold is fine but make sure you also attack your enemies.

6 - Attempt to keep wars as far away from the city as possible, this allows RP to continue there.

7 - If one of your clan members has been hostaged, do not act as if you don't care, attempt to rescue him/her, diplomatically or otherwise.

8 - Clan wars are strictly IC. The hostility ends there, any flaming or arguing OOC will result in punishment and/or closing of both clans.

9 - If a war can be ended peacefully, then do so.

10 - When fighting a war you must also follow the rules listed by Killjoy here: http://fearlessrp.net/showthread.php?tid=2217
