heh.. well what happened there was that Southside, lead by a gangleader who isn't a true theafer, saw you guys all jumping a weak gang and attacked as well. Before he had attacked I'd been speaking to my other gangs about defending the little man, only to discover I had a rogue faction in my midst. I told southside that all declarations of war have to be cleared with the other theafers leaders, and that failure to do so could result in the loss of the theafers name, and war with other theafer gangs. It royally made me mad seeing that one our lowest level gang had acted on their own and attacked the target I had been rallying to protect.

Ganging up in this game against a higher level/ skilled player doesn't work well. The whole 50% health thing is what ruins it in war.. so basically if you cant' do over 50% damage to someone, there's no way you can beat them, even when working with others to do so.

As for why we war.. sometimes like you said, it is fun to just find a reason and go with it. Perhaps Zenith could come up with some sort of "turf" that we could all fight over... maybe three landmarks that would work as items that would attach a flag to the gang that holds them. No gang can hold more than one, and that turf would do something along the lines of boosting happiness regen, or raising happiness by 50. Attacking a gang who held turf would make a struggle for it. Perhaps she could even code it so that each turf had a level range to it, and that the average level of a gang determined whether or not it could control that turf. That would stir up the stagnant gang pool..
