Gang looks

A family is known by its colours. The Customise tab in your gang's HQ is where the Don dresses the gang up.

What you can change

• The banner: a shape, a cloth pattern, a fringe and a motif, in your two colours.
• The crest: a frame, one emblem, an accent above, an accent at the sides and one or two initials. Every part has its own place: nothing is moved, turned or flipped. Emblems are tools, cards, animals and the like, never weapons.
• Colours: a main and a second colour from the palette.
• The motto: one line under the gang's name. It has to be clean (it shows all over town) and can't hold links or contact details.
• Rank pins: a small pin for each rank. They are kept for later and are switched off for now: ranks show as words, and pins never sit beside names.
• The HQ: the sign over the door, neon in the gang colour and a furniture set.

Who decides, and what it costs

The Don chooses the look, as can any rank the Don allows to edit the gang page. Every gang starts with a few basic pieces. Others are bought from the treasury, with cash only: a common piece costs about 1 day of a typical member's income, a fine piece 5 days and a showpiece 25 days, so prices grow with the gang. Fine pieces open at gang level 10, showpieces at 20, and a new grade of showpieces opens every 5 levels after that.

A big purchase (above the treasury's withdrawal limit) waits 12 hours and every member is told. The Don can stop it, and so can the member who made it.

Putting pieces on and swapping them is free, with a short wait of 5 minutes between changes.

Earned, never bought

• The trophy wall fills itself with every war your gang wins.
• The past Dons wall remembers who sat in the chair. Anyone who keeps their name out of the papers shows as "a former Don".
• The calling card arrives at gang level 5. When your gang beats someone in a war, the card is left on their profile: "You've been visited by…". The beaten player can take it off, or say no to calling cards for good.

Keeping it clean

Every banner, crest and motto has a Report link for players outside the gang. Staff can clear a motto or put a crest or banner back to the basics.
