Here's how I see the new system working.

In gang pages you have 2 options.

Declare War Go ahead, declare war. You know you want to.
Declare State of War This time they will know it's war.

State of war is the PvP combat re-introduced again, this time in a much weaker version, but still serious.

If you want to pillowfight, then you can pillowfight all you want. Pillowfight the wrong gang and they might declare a state of war on you. And then you might start to lose respect. State of war lasts until a hideout is destroyed, and any pvp fights inbetween will be over respect points as previously described.

Without any serious consequences there will not be serious politics. You don't need any other gains then nr 1 spot on respect rank in Pantheon of Infamy. Cause that's the ultimate sign that you are on top of the game.

And there could be a conversion between Respect and Gang war points

4 gang war points for 1 respect

1 respect for 3 gang war points.

different conversion rates to put in a minor penalty to hinder people converting points freely.

I believe that people will eventually grow bored with the gang war system as it is now.

But when it is given consequences the scheming will begin and people will have endless fun mailing Zenith about unfair it is that they get attacked, and or post on forum that they feel they have been treated unfairly. And you have the replies with "it's just a game" and the whole thread explodes! BANG!

The most fun you can have is getting a nemesis and spend your time getting ahead of him to get your revenge.
