Downtown would have to be neutral. Un-warrable for.
Just like a Saloon used to be, open to all scums, yet property of none. Or, at least, officially.
If the district control thingy started, for sure this would become really a fighting game more than anything else. From there, I'm sure days were you would just crime and gym are gonna become more and more rare.
Downtown would be none to own, place for the lower beings to start there life. But be warned, that outside those gates, you are in danger.
Hell, to make it even more plausible, you could say Jack or Enrico's peeps owns downtown and reduces violence there in order to remain in total control of black market gear and drugs sale control.
You could attack, hosp, berzerk anyone there, just like now. But outside, in a gang owned district, this gang could either have a bonus, or a reward on a leave attack on someone (could be scaled as the gang battles pts) and provide benefits to the gang (money, respect as a side point, like
with the current gang points)
Gang pts serve upgrades on the hideout, or bonuses.
Respect points, once earned and spent in the gang, could give like :
- gym bonuses for gang members
- interest on the gang money funds placed in a business account (with possible upgrade on careers as money launderer skills or drug deals outside the country)
- Boost to the GCB
- A trade option to exchange x respect points for x credits
- Personalized battle finishers (when you fight someone, personalize the event he receives. (Ex:
Quote:12:12 am T444e walk away slowly while your head rolls away from your body.)
and so on, I'm sure there are tons of things we'd all like.
And gang controlled districts should advertise it. Since there are popups now, I'd use them to say, once you choose the travel agency destination you were looking for, something like: "Know that this territorry is controled by DISS. Stay out." or "I TOLD YALL I'D HAVE GRENADES SOMEDAY, WE'RE NOT B1TCHES!". Would be fair and scary warnings.
A usefull new rule would be to let everyone know in a automated mail from the admin, when they reach the first lvl to travel somewhere, that out there, there is no help or crying if they get caught by the gangs. Hosp online could always happen.
Meh, I'm gonna stop there.
