An invited member of a group is someone who is considered part of or official in the group.
B. Who is considered a guest?

- Guests are NOT allowed to attack without, at least one invited member of their group.
- Guests that falsely affiliate with a group in order to deathmatch are strictly prohibited.

- Group Leaders are expected to cooperate and problem solve issues with other leaders for a better experience.
- Group Leaders should NOT badmouth other groups for their IC losses in OOC to chant or rile up OOC fights.

2.3: War Types
What are war types?
The war types point out the build-up of conflict progress between factions, they also explain any need-to-know regulation. There are three types of wars in GTA Legacy: Short Term Wars (STW), Faction-Controlled Wars (FCW), and Turf Wars (TW). which we will be going over below.

✤ Short Term Wars
A short-term war automatically starts when one faction attacks another, and they (the opposing faction) retaliate. Once you are involved in an STW, you are obligated to abide by the following rules:
End Conditions: If any of the following conditions is met, it means that the war concludes immediately:
When a war is concluded through one of the previous conditions, a period of grace begins between both factions involved and lasts for 1 week (7 full days). During said 7 days you are not to engage in any hostile interactions with the same faction.
A short-term war automatically starts when one faction attacks another, and they (the opposing faction) retaliate. Once you are involved in an STW, you are obligated to abide by the following rules:
- Characters who die once during the war may only participate in defending themselves from that point on. i.e. you may not attack if you died once.
- You may NOT involve alternative characters in the war. Each player gets one character.
- You may NOT attack the same faction back-to-back without retaliation from their side.
End Conditions: If any of the following conditions is met, it means that the war concludes immediately:
- No attacks from either party have been carried out for 7 days (1 Week).
- Faction Team's intervention to end the war.
- One faction forfeits.
When a war is concluded through one of the previous conditions, a period of grace begins between both factions involved and lasts for 1 week (7 full days). During said 7 days you are not to engage in any hostile interactions with the same faction.
✤ Faction-Controlled Wars
Faction-Controlled Wars are simply a different approach to war, allowing both faction leaders to come together and agree upon a custom set of rules and terms. These terms and rules can range from anything such as longer cool-downs, different participation rates, or even weapon restrictions.
However, FCWs cannot be started on their own merits. The rules and terms must be documented and submitted to the Faction Team for review and approval.

✤ Turf Wars
Turf Wars resolve disputes over a piece of turf. Turf Wars can be approached via either an STW or an FCW (custom rules), depending on the involved factions. If the two leaders can't find common ground, FT will choose. However, you may not start a turf war without permission from FT. You need to send FT a roster of your official members only, alt characters and outsiders are not allowed.
