TW Rules?

Then no, there are no official rules on it. The only rule that really applies to factions involved in TW is that there is no fake bidding, or anything that can be construed as fake bidding, such as a faction bidding and fighting, but not with the intention of winning (e.g. level 1 cleric attacking an entire faction).

Actually you are mistaking here, the fakebidding isn`t rule, it`s conclusion drawn from a rule.

But to OP, you are not allowed to manipulate TW map, not going to quote ToS/something, cant bother. But I am not sure if being executor means manipulating TW map or not, really depends on GM. If I were you, I`d sent a ticket and till then step from executor position on other faction, till you know how GMs feel bout it.

For example, our server faction leader getting banned for weekend(To miss bidding for 1 week) for manipulating TW map. As far as the things around matter are revealed, his executor was leader of alt faction, that was bidding on land and taking it, which resulted in warning for breaking ToS, "Do it again and there will be consequnces". So week after that matter, my faction gets over fakebidded, hence the faction in question keeps land w/o fighting it. There was drama, blaming and shaming, in the end it was member of the faction in question that was behind the fakebid, their leader had been warned before, resulted in that 1 weekend ban.

So basically it`s about if it`s seen as manipulating TW map, yet if it is, it`s matter of opinion, hence you want opinion from somebody who calls it right or wrong aka send ticket and wait them to respond. If you get allowed to do it, get banned anyway, at least you got something to support your clause with that ticket.

I dunno...being a leader of one, and an officer of another...might lead to the suspicion of fake bids or deals being made between the two, if they're set to fight each other or something.

well, like she said. exec in both... i dont see how that should be a problem personally.

That's totally incorrect.

From the "Official Territory War Bidding Rules" post by the GM Kantorek:

Kantorek wrote: »

Just because the rewards and bidding announcements have changed, does not mean the fight has changed. Nor does this give you free reign on "fake bidding". Please be advised of these rules when participating in combat.

I recommend reading that post if you have any questions on the bidding rules for territory rules. Particularly these two sections:

Alliances

Alliances are allowed in Territory Wars provided they are not bidding on each other others Territories.

Alliances cannot fund directly or indirectly another faction to protect one of its own territories or that of their alliance members.

All factions must have independent leadership

Any collaboration before, during, or after a Territory War that tries to circumvent the fair play of the system is prohibited.

No faction may lose on purpose or decide the victor through non in game mechanics.

Factions that cannot abide by these rules or that of fair play should not bid as anything that constitutes fake bidding will have sever repercussions. Any user caught withholding information about possible Territory War violations will be punished along with the perpetrators. All bids will be thoroughly screened and researched by the GMs. Any behavior determined to be suspicious will require additional research were temporary bans maybe issued. Upon confirmation of the crime the faction leaders as well as the members involved will be banned at the discretion of the GM.

In other words, I'd highly recommend against being a member of the leadership of two different factions, especially if they either bid on each other's territories or intend to fight each other.
