Become the hunter.

I am new to b.net and was wondering what was up with these so called "group wars" I read about somewhere on here? Do they shoot spam at each other (metaphorically)? I don't understand how groups could wage war.

Well ther are two kinds.

1 - Where groups have XBL matches against eachother.
2 - Exactly what you said some what. Some nerdy retards with no lives work their way up to high ranks in enemy groups and then destroy it by banning everyone, deranking everyone, or deleting everything. They also throw spam at eachother. It used to be funny now it is just stupid.

You'd tend to have each group bad-mouthing the other on the main forums whenever they got the opportunity. Quite often (from what I know), the enemy groups tend to send their members to spam the other group's forum with random posts. They might also try to get a random member to gain respect, then become a moderator (or admin), then destroy the group as much as they can. The last is rare from what I have heard.

Basically, think of any way one person could destroy another's group.

Thanks, that is really quite pathetic that some people are that lame. Someone that does that needs to stop stealing oxygen from the rest of us.

Well there is no way to stop the spam and crap. But it isn't hard to guard your group from being destroyed. Just keep all the ranks with the same power. Post to forums, Resources, Submit News. Then all of the mods and admins get the power. Only let people that you trust have these ranks.

Indeed, unfotunately that is not how the world works.

Group wars are something that the Powers that Be do not approve of. Those who take part in them, consider yourselves warned.

Erm.

I mean no offence, but Achronos has mentioned that he will not involve himself in these petty group takeovers. If you let one of these morons into your group and he ruins it, you're pretty much on your own.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I do that a lot, I've noticed.

Well, I'm sure you got your answer for what group wars are now. They are utterly foolish, pointless, evil, and like BobBQ said, you are warned not to take part in them. Achronos has previously banned people involved in major group wars. I honestly don't understand why computer nerds would get on B.net and try to destroy someone else's group. What possible satisfaction can you get from that?

do you think it's funny when someone climbs the ranks, turns the group theme into the freaky Marathon theme, writes, "Do not panic" eveywere, then destroys the group?

I believe the most common method involves planting sleeper cells in to the victim group. Once they gain enough trust to attain moderator powers, BANG! The lesson here is to pick your moderators wisely.

That is true - but if it spills onto the main forums (as it always does), it wont be tollerated.

also, Achronos intervened in the OFG takeover, and banned like three people because of it.
