G.S.F.W. (or GSFW) is a super-alliance between three of SimPvP's most influential teams: GS Trading Co., the Church of Francis, and The Order of Wilbur. The name is an acronym derived from the primary letters of each respective clan: GS for GS Trading Co., F for the Church of Francis, and W for the Order of Wilbur. Although alliances and peace talks between the three organizations had existed for months, the official G.S.F.W. super-alliance was coined and established on July 22nd, 2021. The alliance promotes cooperation between these three teams through diplomacy, trade, base building, and military aid.

History
Early History
Long before talks even began for a G.S.F.W.-type super-alliance, relations between the three teams were shaky and often varied depending on the moment in server history. For many years, the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur were historic rivals; a rivalry that had culminated in two wars (The Holy Wilbur-Francis War and The Imperial War), several battles, and numerous griefs, as well as an overwhelming sense of distrust between the two. When GS Trading Co. first joined SimPvP in June 2020, the Wilburian-Francillian rivalry remained much the same, and GS Trading Co. would shift between the two constantly. Before and during the Imperial War, GS Trading Co. was heavily allied with the Order of Wilbur (even fighting alongside them against the Church of Francis); however, after the Imperial War ended, GS Trading Co. began to open up to the Francillians more, eventually allying itself with them as well. It was also post-Imperial War when the Wilburians and Francillians finally began to warm up to each other and begin talks of peace, all while GS Trading Co. mediated between the two, solidifying good relationships with both.
G.S.F.W. is Formed
By summer 2021, long after the Imperial War had ended, relations between the three were growingly increasingly more amicable. The OOW and COF, especially, had worked hard to establish peace through a variety of means, from their joint base Riverwood to their diplomatic discussions and gifts. To Be Continued
