Crews & Gangs

Overview

There are two types of Organisations in Bootleggers: Crews and Gangs. The list of created organisations can be viewed on the Statistics page. Once created for the first time, an item is awarded to the original creator called The Organisation Books, this is an item that can be used to recreate the organisation any time from the crew page, blocking others from taking the name. Organisation Books can be transferred in escrow thereby transferring the creator rights, or dropped altogether freeing up the name again. You can only hold one set of Organisation books at a time.

Crews

Crews are typically more powerful organisations with access to better perks, for this reason there can only be a maximum of 10 existing at any one time. You can start a crew or upgrade to a crew from a gang if there is a spot available and you are ranked Boss (Ranks) or higher.

A crew requires a weekly graft payment to be made, failure to keep up with the payments will disband the crew.

Each player part of an organisation has the option to hide their affiliation in their Profile, thereby hiding them from the public view of being attached to that organisation. However for those inside Crews the full roster of a crew can be identified using a Private Investigators.

If you join a crew your Protection will be removed.

Not being able to have a protection status and not being able to completely hide your affiliation is balanced out by some perks for crews:

• It is possible for crews to take part and win enormous prizes during Revenue Scoring periods.
• Crews have layers, each layer has a different amount of members in it, if you attempt to whack someone before 50% of the layer below them is dead, you will die instantly in backfire, this affords crews some element of protection, keeping important members safe, perhaps those holding a property.
• Crews can also gain income from crimes undertaken in a city that they run, see City Control for more information.

Gangs

Gangs are typically less powerful organisations. There are an unlimited amount of gang spots available. You can create a gang if you are ranked Gangster or higher (Ranks).

Gangs require no ongoing payment to exist.

Each player part of an organisation has the option to hide their affiliation in their Profile, thereby hiding them from the public view of being attached to that organisation. Gang members have no chance of being revealed should they choose this option.

You can be in a gang and still acquire a Protection status.

Applications

If you are not currently part of an Organisation - clicking the Crew page will give you the option to submit an application to join an Organisation if they choose to accept new application.
