disco Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 How about taking gang alliances a step further? What i suggest is having an option for all official gangs to be allowed to allie with one (or maybe more) gang(s). This could be done by having a thread in the OGA forum that only the two allied gangs can view/post in (Once the two gangs have agreed to be allies, of course). They could plot/bitch about other gangs without anyone else knowing, or just talk the usual sh*t. Just a thought to spruce up the gang scene.

So what is this aimed at only official, or both unofficial, and official.~TGK |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 So what is this aimed at only official, or both unofficial, and official.~TGK Well, seeing as the OGA forum is only visble for members who are in official gangs, then i guess i was aiming it at official gangs only. But perhaps an unofficial version could be made up somehow. But that's unlikely, beacuse unofficial gangs are basically just groups of regular forum members.

Maybe if a gang alliance is set up between oh lets say Zaibatsu, and Leone each member of Z can view a special forum for the alliance. That's how I can see it happening.~TGK |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuck Fou Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Masks for unofficial gangs 'n sh*t would be too much of a pain in the ass... you never can tell who's darting in and out of gangs, and it happens on a daily basis. So it would be best to keep this to Official gangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkstar Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Keep any member masks on GTAF to official gangs. If unofficials want something similar, theres always invisionfree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kapone Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Besides, I doubt any PGC gangs are cool enough with eachother to form an alliance like that. I mean, yeah, it can get real nasty in there so alliances are pretty rare. This is a great idea for us OGA'ers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xme Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 haha, stupid OGA, or United Gangs as i called it. btw, it was my idea in the first place like 3 years ago. Never worked like i wanted, turned out crap. oh well. Back then it was passworded, only gang leaders had access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antinark Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think any alliance should withstand the test of time before they're granted any privledge such as this. It's a good idea and all but alliances are made and broken over month long periods and that's not really fair for the mods. On the other hand, an invision free board takes all of 10 minutes to set up, so it's not really that much of an issue for official gangs to take the initiative to do it themselves.

anuj Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Back during the nvb20i prank, I couldn't trust people in my own gang to keep private forums private. Soon we had posts and other junk being posted in IRC for no damn reason. So you can bet your ass I'm not going to be happy if all of a sudden 35 people, of which maybe I like four are allowed into Teh 'Cinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say that TP and $$h become allies. A thread will be created in the OGA where ONLY members from TP and $$h will be allowed to view. TP's private forum will still be exclusive to TP'ers. and the $$h's private forums will still be exclusive to $$h'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 What if people then post or PM whats going on to other people? well, that issue already exists with official gangs now. i guess it will be up to the gang leaders to decided wether it merits a punishment or not.

EmSixTeen Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Let's say that TP and $$h become allies. As for the idea, nah, I really don't think it's a great idea.. If anything, the only sort of thing which I have experience of and would have trust in was the likes of the old $$H/Mafia, Inc. alliance. Known each other since whenever, had the trust, and had the jizm to bond us together and make it work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could, but it's so much damn hassle for all involved. Furthermore, it's almost a certainty that the password will be leaked by someone, and the private forum would be rendered useless.

jelly Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 If two official gangs ally, they can choose to share their private forums. Has been like this for a while, as far as I know. I don't see the point of a so-called 'alliance' if you can only trust about four members. Might aswell recruit them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyMothersMySister Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 disco, Your sig far, far outweighs this idea. Seems to be more trouble than it's actually worth. I remember when the OGA was a password only forum and that was leaked as well. Messiah To The Animals #Cyclop9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin. Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I don't think it's even possible to actually set masks for certain threads, I know it is possible to set masks for seperate forums, but that would require admin work, and I don't think there is ever 2 admins on at one time. I think it would be a cool idea, but I don't think there are any 2 official gangs that would want to share a private forum with one another, but I could be wrong. Good idea though disco.

VideoPoker Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 lol $$H/LM alliance was terrible. At it's hieght, the LM/SSH alliance was super awesome.
