1. Leadership Overview

Understanding Rank Permissions

The gang system uses a 10-rank hierarchy where lower numbers = higher authority:

Rank	Default Title	Permissions
1	Kingpin	Full access - can dissolve gang, all leader features
2	Right Hand	Full access - same as Kingpin except dissolving
3	Shot Caller	Can invite and kick members
4-10	Lieutenant → Recruit	Standard member access

Accessing the Gang Menu

Open your gang menu using:

• Keybind: Press F6 (default)
• Command: Type /gangmenu in chat

Leader-Only Features

As a leader (Rank 1-2), you have access to:

• Member Management: View, kick, promote/demote members
• Invite System: Send gang invitations to nearby players
• Rank Management: Rename custom rank titles
• Marker Management: Create, delete, and configure gang markers
• Racket Claims: Claim and manage gang rackets

   • Kills: PvP kills against rival gangs
   • Drugs Sold: Number of drug transactions
   • Rackets: Completed racket jobs
   • Airdrops: Successfully looted airdrops
   • Total Score: Calculated contribution score

Tip: Members are sorted by rank first, then by total score. This helps you identify your most valuable members!

Inviting New Members

1. Open the gang menu
2. Select “Invite Member”
3. A list of nearby players will appear (within 10 meters)
4. Click on a player to send an invitation
5. The player will receive a popup to accept or decline

Requirements:

• Target must not already be in a gang
• You must be Rank 1, 2, or 3 to invite

Tip: Make sure the player is actually looking to join before sending an invite. Declined invitations are logged!

Kicking Members

1. Open the gang menu
2. Select “Gang Members”
3. Click on the member you want to remove

Note: You cannot kick the gang leader (Rank 1).

Promoting/Demoting Members

1. Open the gang menu
2. Select “Gang Members”
3. Click on the member you want to promote/demote
4. Select “Promote/Demote Member”
5. Choose the new rank from the list

Rules:

• You cannot demote or promote the gang leader

• Higher ranks (lower numbers) have more permissions

Tip: Use rank 3 (Shot Caller) for trusted members who can help with recruitment but shouldn’t have full leader access.

Understanding Member Stats

The Total Score is calculated using these weights:

Activity	Points per Action
Kills	25 points
Drugs Sold	10 points
Rackets Completed	50 points
Airdrops Looted	15 points

3. Rank Management

The 10-Rank Hierarchy

Your gang has 10 customizable ranks:

1. Kingpin        (Leader - Full Access)
2. Right Hand     (Co-Leader - Full Access)
3. Shot Caller    (Can Invite/Kick)
4. Lieutenant
5. Enforcer
6. Capo
7. Soldier
8. Hustler
9. Thug
10. Recruit       (Lowest Rank)

Renaming Rank Titles

1. Open the gang menu
2. Select “Ranks”
3. Click on any rank to rename it
4. Enter the new name twice to confirm
5. The change applies immediately

Examples of Custom Names:

• Kingpin → “Don” or “OG”
• Right Hand → “Underboss” or “Vice President”
• Recruit → “Prospect” or “New Blood”

Tip: Use rank names that fit your gang’s theme (Mafia, Biker, Street, etc.) for better immersion!

Best Practices for Rank Structure

• Keep ranks 1-2 limited to 1-3 trusted members
• Use rank 3 for members who handle recruitment
• Promote based on contribution, not just time in gang
• Review member stats before promotions

• The server enforces a per-gang maximum for participants. When the limit is reached, additional members are teleported outside the zone and must wait for an open spot.
• While the war is active you cannot switch gangs or re-enter under another tag; the server locks your registration until the war finishes.
• Points accumulate as long as your teammates stay within the zone:
  • Points per 10 seconds: 1 point per member in zone
  • Points per kill: 5 points for killing rival gang members

War Rewards

Winning Gang Receives:
