Have you been updating your faction rosters? Hows your activity doing? While there is no longer a race to be at the top and all factions are welcome to stay at stage 1 or 2, if you are looking to grow into a large faction with on-sim hideouts, be sure your rosters are kept updated with your active players so you can keep evolving!
Who can post on these threads:

All Active Gangs
Police regarding Gang RP
Any citizen that wants to voice on gang rp

Things to be discussed:

Regular monthly gang updates – leaders must post a list of their active gang members (w/ avatar names)
Discussion of plot lines and developing and continuation of the story involving gangs inside the den
Discussion of how to make things better
Constructive input on any interaction that you had with a gang
Request for gang rp

Note: Not every little thing needs to be revealed if you don’t want the ‘surprise’ ruined.
