....I have heard, however, more serious practice of infiltration of some members of certain guild into other guilds for the purpose to destroying those guilds. This happened when the infiltrator gained trust enough from the guild that he/she entered to the point of gaining a higher position (as an officer), and then misused the authority to remove members of that guild. This is obviously a malicious action and intention since the very beginning, and according to any norm, should have not been practiced in a peaceful gaming community.
In the light of peace and freedom of fear while playing Potco, I hope that this thread is not being used to inform the community on how to execute a guild war 'properly', but to inform all of us the pros and cons on why there is such thing as a guild war at all. And hopefully each player would be responsible enough to do the right thing, even in having fun.

In the first few months of the game opening (2007-2008) there was what many of us called "The Guild Wars". This involved what Jade mentioned above; rotten players infiltrating a Guild with the sole intention of disrupting and, if possible, destroying it. This is one reason you do not see too many of the various "original/first guilds" active in the game. Several guilds went so far as to form an unofficial "Alliance" to keep each other informed and stave off these attacks.
If anyone is interested in a bit POTCO history, the Alliance's webpage is still up: http://www.gamerdna.com/GuildHome.php?re=1&short=thea1
A few nefarious types tried to destroy our guild, Wrong Trousers, and failed.
We are still here!

In guild wars, people usually try to destroy each other's guild. For instance; People from the opposite guilds might do things to the other guild, like these:

Steal Their Rep

Insult Each other

Hire spies to go into the guild, sometimes even prove themselves loyal to the guild until they're made officers and kick people out of the guild

Spread Rumors about the guild/Convince everyone not to join

Follow veterans/officers in the guild and stop them from inviting people

etc, etc, etc.........

Nonetheless, guild wars are not allowed in my guild. Someone from my guild suggested that we have a Guild War with Llamas are Epic, But I didn't allow it. They can be fun, but extremely annoying and not a concern to the GM, aka me.
 
Vampires of War and British Co. Elites are at war, we clash on the beach of Tortuga and Padres, it is fun and even the British co. Elites have declared war on a smaller guild called the Crazy Aces, The British Co. Elites are also claiming they are the EITC
