Declaration of the Universal Gang System
 

Hello, Era!
Today is a special day!
We are declaring this day: Gang Independence Day!


"We [the Era Administration Team] hold these truths to be self-evident, that all [players] are indeed created equal and [will be] endowed by [our team] with certain inalienable [abilities]" -Thomas Jefferson
July 4th, 2011
The Era Administrative body has released a Universal Gang System. This system will allow players to create their own gang for a small fee of $10,000!

You can open the main menu by pressing the O key. To the right you'll see a points board for every current gang that's signed up on Era. You can control your gang by accessing the "My Gang" menu with the button on the left. You can also check any gang invites you may have and you have the ability to transfer your gang to any current player in your gang. Your gang applications will appear under the "My Apps" tab in the "Create Gang" window.

In further detail, there is also a new raiding system! The system currently consists of three-capturable bases. In which competing gangs may fight for in a King of the Hill Format. A player must stand within the radius of the capture point and hold the point for the selected amount of time displayed. If a rival gang member steps within the radius of the capture point, the timer will automatically stop until a single gang is in the point once more.

Each base has specific requirements for point activation.
The small base (Island Base): 4 Players in-total must be ontag and invading for points to be counted.
The Medium Base (Shun Wu): 6 Players (Same Format).
The Large Base (Avant Garde): 8 Players (Same format.)

Each gang kill outside of a base is worth 1 Point.
Each gang kill inside of a base is worth 2 Points.

All players have been removed from their previous gangs and all points have been reset. We have also decided to keep parties to see if they'll be used at all. If their activity decreases we will disable the party system.

Who will rule Era, and how?
Will it be you and your Empire?
Or your enemy and his/her's faction?

The race is on! Show your stuff!

Have fun and good luck!

X-Faction, WE RUN DIS!

uh wil in the pic it says era mafia owns the base. YOU FAIL.

Let it be known that Dark Dynasty is the first gang to be formed (not by staff)

Please thank Alf for all the time he spent on this.

There were others as well, but who cares about them.

=[

Congratulations Era! Great job Alfonso.

Glad to see that Sales' and Chris Vimes' work didn't go to waste :).

just like raiding on zodiac...someone talked to fowlplay?

Exciting update! Can't wait to see how it will all play out :).

omg only took 2~3 yrs extra cuz 1-2 scripters left!

yay!

Alf 4 president

Yeah man, Alf the one man army! Building dem lvls, coming with all the ideas?
Mann, Alf for ruler of the world.

Haha DD first gang made!

Nice :)

is this the update that took umonths to do and didnt let u fix simple bugs?

so does the gangs get deleted in any way ??

I don't understand why you would do something as redundant as putting Thread Title: in your thread title.

Yeahhhhh... that was an accident...... :(

Fixed :D

Watch this **** fail....
its going to start with 30 gangs then it is going to become 3 power gangs which will be like the original old idea :|

Possibly the best gang system I've seen, I would just say that its unclear how to join one. I thought it was more like global guilds, like how you need to apply to join. Which would be cool. And theres a bunch of invite things. It really is confusing to me.

you have to ask one of the recruiters and they will invite you .. press "O" then "Invites" then you just accept it

Thanks ^^

some questions:

is there a limit to the amount of gangs that can be created?
do points have any significant usage besides for show?
can you lose points? if so how?

just curious!

There's no limit for gangs. Only one gang can be owned at a time, however.

I'm currently working on something for points, so expect it very soon ^^

Well part of #2 :3

Props for taking something that was already there instead of starting from scratch (and likely not finishing) like most people would have.

You should have given points a purpose before releasing it, imo. Also, points should just be a measure of activity-- do not allow gangs to lose points!

They're not going to "lose" them exactly. I have something else in mind. They WILL be losing points but there will be a purpose.

Gang shop.

soldier is here to stay

each kill inside a base is NOT 2 points, it's only one

I'd like somewhere with a list of all gangs and their points (instead of top 10.)

Fixed. Sorry about that.

As for the points request, I'm planning to add a leader board where you can view all sorts of stats for gangs ^^

That would be epic.

Who scripted this?

It's the one Sales and Chris were working on. I guess it got abandoned so I just picked it up and finished it.

damn son.

Dat soldier

Getting kinda *** when X-Faction controls everything...

y umad

just get good and dont cry kthx. go get all ur friends and own them!
