Era has taken to letting the players come up with feasible themes, so it's up to them to present them.

right when he said realistic, i thought of the one Spikekid submitted
I really like it

Spike, mind if i post it here?

1 reason for gang hopping is people get demoted for no reason because of corruption this has happened to me today in BH

Yes darlin

1) Gang Name: Architects of the Last Stand. Shortened to (Architects L.S.) for the tag
2) Gang Leader: spikekid
3) Backstory:

After the recent economic outrages with mixed prices and stirred emotions of scamming with little to no police help, the people of Era have made it their duty to show the gangs what real chaos is. One man decided to use the most chaotic weaponry that could be easily mass produced. Alliances between different Rioters were given different assignments. One team was to mass produce long burning Molotov ****tails, another team to train the newcomers to handle deadly melee weapons for close encounters, and the last team gathers jagged rocks and sling shots for individual ranged attacks, as well as create the blueprints to make a crossbow out of scrap metal. Alone the teams are unorganized and specialized to fight only certain fights. However, together with all three different weapons being utilized they can wreak havoc upon any group who gets in the way. The group found an abandoned industrial complex and decorated it using graffiti and metal engravings. Their message will continue to be spread until there is no one left to hear it.

(The Molotov's would be thrown like Shurikins, and the idea was to be able to throw straight and also throw like petrols over walls with another button, but we understand if you won't give us that. Also, if Molotovs are completely denied, which we do not hope happens, a slingshot or makeshift metal crossbow is our backup idea for gang weapon.)

5) Developement:

6) Player Support

[suporters go here, spikekid told me to remove them]

I also think that if a new gang is added, new leaders should be selected. I am tired of the same old leaders hiring their friends first, and skilled/loyal players second.

The same goes for businesses such as PPA and Bounty Hunters.

It discourages players when you dominate the competition, and prove your loyalty, yet you get selected by somebody else because they were closer friends with the leader/owner.

Good idea btw, Spike.

Spike while I was reading the back story to your gang, I got a sense of what the look and feel of the gang would be. I was thinking an RpG launcher would be the perfect gang weapon for ALS. The perfect weapon to give it that kind of rebel, rag tag vigilante feel in my opinion. It's gota be one of those cheep terrorist looking RpGs though.

Moto made an amazing looking rpg launcher a while ago.

An RPG? Sorry, but no, lol.
And the gun should be really make-shift looking. I was thinking a crossbow or bow and arrow of some sort with different types of arrows. Like you could shoot greek fire (explosives) or a poisoned arrow, etc. etc.

Bows and arrows ? common man that sht is obsolete and out of place in a modern server. Don't think molotovs would work either.

Considering how long katanas lasted I'm sure a crossbow will do fine.

Obsolete? I'm pretty ****ing sure a bow and arrow would still kill you in real life.

Cross bows are w1n.

I like the idea :P

You're missing the point. What the hell would a modern server be doing with a bow? It's like putting handguns on Maloria; it doesn't make sense.

Maybe its a adv cross bow ;p

Torgue bow ftw o.O

Crossbows are still used to hunt in todays world, a metal crossbow would not fit in Maloria. What about like a makeshift type gun like a zip gun or something? Like metal tubing and whatnot, Moltov sounds like an awesome idea to, should be like when thrown the fire stays for awhile and keeps spreading out for a certain time and distance
