A good way to implement gangs

...holy book.

I am offended that you would suggest a holy book. Everyone knows that the one true lord can only be understood through the consumption of pasta! Holy books are an abomination!

Can not the box from whence the pasta came be considered but a page in the book that is all things pasta?

Sure, if you are one of those heathen "reformed" Pastafarians. We tolerate no such heresy in the orthodox community.

Dividing the gangs up in races is the best way, and most realistic way according to US prisons. Although if they were to do that in these political correct times they would get beheaded by media (even though thats how the reality looks).... I hope Introversion has the balls to keep some realism of how actually gangs are built up (they are indie they claim , take the challenge? ), its by race in US prisons at leased. Although calling them Nazi low riders or crips you can just dream on about that. Don't think the devs want to get death threats or being forced to pay for name use too some crooks...

It's how reality looks in america, in some prisons, less so in other countries and states of america for that matter. It depends how culturally diverse the country is, otherwise you're not even going to get enough people of different ethnicities for it to matter, so many that it's blended far too much for what you are suggesting or just different dividing lines.

For example even in your choice of country:
Folk Nation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_Nation
People Nation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_Nation

Two large dividing groups that had a lot of mixed ethnicities.

DMI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Man_Incorporated to a lesser extent.

I don't see why race needs to be an issue for a simulation, or why it would take 'balls' to implement, that's just chest thumping nonesense. Only if it would add to the 'simulation' or take away, remember this isn't an RPG either we have macro level control for the most part.

Is it really going to add very much if you see black pixels and white pixels into two different groups, or take away very much if you see black pixels and white pixels working together?
