Well I've been working on this for a while. This Idea has probably been done in NS History, but Hell this outta be more fun.

Now here are the rules for the map:

0: I WILL assign your places.
1. Places are assigned Randomly.
2. You can request a maximum of 19 spots.
3. If you don't like what you are assigned Don't feel bad. You have 19 spots as a max, your bound to get some nice areas.
4. Once the map is filled (City Areas), the RP will start.
5. You will not get barren areas, those are neutral areas, or deadly war-zones.
6. Pick your color and tell me your Gangs "Name"
7. Give a short Bio on your gang.
8. If you can't fit 19 spots, then I will give you as many as possible.

Now the Map of Union City!

TAG

The Family

The Family is an Italian-American Mafia criminal organization, originating from Sicily - referred as "the old country"- whose main base of operations is in Union City. They hold various assets Everywhere including Restaurants, Gentlemen Clubs, Car Repair Shops. The main base of operations however is Salvatore's Mansion, located in the southern portion of Union City. Salvatore Leon is the head of the family. He has a son, Joey Leone, who much to Salvatore's dismay is not wed yet. Other people who are in the Leone family include Luigi Goterelli, Toni Cipriani, Mickey Hamfists, and Vincenzo Cilli. Their henchmen don black suits; some with sunglasses, and carry shotguns, Uzis, and pistols. Leone family hitmen carry AK-47 assault rifles.

Gang type: Cosa Nostra Family
Gang car: Mafia Sentinel
Businesses: Protection, prostitution, auto-theft ring, gambling, drug trafficking, loansharking, armed robbery, hijacking, abusing labor unions, killings.


* I based this gang off of GTA III Leon Family, feel free to base yours off of GTA Gangs too.

My gang's going to be Blue. Name? "Zares". (Basically, they're drug lords, smugglers, mercs, terrorists, and assasins.)

EDIT:

There's my places.

As for gang profile...

Zares

"Zares" is a crime syndicate, born back in 1920. They are controlled by the Zares family, and they are simply around for profit. Now, why should profit stop at legitimate buisness? This is a capitalist society! Some of Zares's services are:

-drug dealing

-casinos

-smuggling

-mercenary duties

-theft

-bribing officials

-etc.

Basically, anything profitable AND illegal? They're involved.

Henchmen don either disguises, special forces uniforms, or tuxedos. They are all armed with M9 Berreta pistols, and heavier arms include the M16.

No offense Pythogria, but you took every single key location on the map, Not even I have an Airport, also I only have 1 port, and I created this.

Look at what I gave you and mabye we can reach a compromise.

I can work with those.

(I basically just took random spots. As long as I can compete with the rest of the players, I'm fine with anything.)

With the places I gave you you can compete fine.


Updated Map.

Question:

Would it be acceptable to have acsess to some more advaced things like labs r summat? Oh, and would stealing some sort of deadly bacteria like smallpox be out of the question?

Stealing bacteria--out, think if a Gang or Mafia tried to do that in todays world.

Weapons Factories(Small Scale) Yes, Labs? Nuha

Notes:
Big Daddy initially started Millennion in order to protect that which is close to him, namely his city and "Family," the inner council that few in the organization are privy to. It eventually branched out.

Currently, the Millennion Organization is involved in the following, amoung other things:
1.) Illegal arms deals;
2.) The Black Market;
3.) Gambling;
4.) Money laundering;
5.) Bribing officials.

The Millennion Organization operates by the "Code Of Iron", a philosophy of trust and loyalty to the organization that is enforced at gunpoint.


The Organization uses its corporate front as its primary cover.

Here's a version of the map. I've outlined five areas I wouldn't mind having in yellow. Feel free to add fillers if you want.
http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/7339/myplaces2xstmo36db.jpg

Note: About the guns. I provided links to images. However, I don't have the names for most of them. I know #3 is a Mossburg, #4 is a M107 .50 Caliber Special Application Scoped Rifle, #9 is a 5.56mm Steyr AUG 16" Machine Carbine (I think), #10 is a 12g Street Sweeper Shotgun, #11 is a 357 Magnum Desert Eagle Pistol, #12 is a 9mm Beretta 92FS Pistol, #7 is an Uzi, and #8 is a P90. Though, according to my info and research, they are images of RL weapons. Not so sure about #2 however.

Punkz

Is any explaination neccessary? Negative steriotype of punks. They like loud music, tatoos, mohawks and kicking non-punk's asses. Not in it for the profit, though some may come along the way. Their main way of getting cash is theft, though the female members will sometimes sell themselves when a lot is needed. Also available as mercs.

As both red and acid green are taken, I'll go with black. Or any color you assign me.

OK, so a helicopter is going to be really iffy?

Well, you can buy a Helicopter...just not an Apatchi or anything

Well, you can buy a Helicopter...just not an Apatchi or anything

OK. So it would be feasible to have fly-by shootings.

On the note of Helicopters

You can buy any civilian model. Fly By shootings? Unless you want to be sticking your body out of a helicopter at a hundred or so miles an hour. But you could do what was done in GTA:VC, that is put a minigun on the side door, highly expensive and costley though...


UPDATED MAP

<snip>Also if someone wants to RP the Police, All the more better.
If you don't mind, I'll take that spot. Sounds fun to officially have all authority in the city, but effectively doing not much apart from getting shot and acting criminal myself...

Alright, what I was origionally going to do for the police, is to give them control over any uncontrolled land or buildings. So at the end of this weekend, what ever isn't controlled by a organization you can control.

Sounds good, the police gets the stuff nobody else wants. ;)

A bit of a strange question maybe, but could you mark the location of the police stations on that map? It's been quite a while since I last played GTA, and I forgot where they are...

I'll place them as close as possible, and I'll add a extra one to each major area.

I'll be a triad called "The Snake Gang." I'll take whatever color.

The Snake gang rose to prominence in post-war Los Angeles. They have since moved other places, including Union City. They bring in heroin from Southeast Asia and distribute it all around the country. Anywhere they see rivals, the Snake Gang brutally kills them, preferably in public.
Leader: Mao Xun, thug from Macao. "Brother Xun" is a sleazy gangster who hates cops, the law in general, and anybody who isn't Chinese. Image (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f125/fukuoka_yakuza/kungfuhustle2.jpg)
Weapons: The Snake Gang carries many old Chinese weapons, such as Type 54 pistols (clone of Tokarev TT33), Type 79 submachine guns, Type 56 assault rifles (AK-47 clone), and others. Most of these come from corrupt leaders back in China.
Cars: The Snake gang will take whatever they can get.

UPDATED MAP

Estimated number of new players allowed: 3

I like this thread, but I am short on time. Here are the basics:

-"The Brotherhood"- Irish organization that used to be a part of the IRA, but came to America after inter-factional differences. Most consider themselves to be above street crime, and seek to enter legitimate business, but presently use street muscle to insure that there businesses have no real competition.

-Into extortion, numbers, construction contracting, vending machines, (attempting) real estate

Will post more when I have the time.

Is it possible for me to control one of the airports? I was thinking they would control perhaps the luggage handler's union.

OK. So it would be feasible to have fly-by shootings.

A Miami style drive-by also works. Though the whole gun chopper idea would work better with a sniper rifle.

That reminds me, I'll have to edit my weapons list to remove one of them and replace it with some kind of rifle.

Map UPDATED.

Players full.

Expect RP Thread to start up tonight.

Look here for link.

Leaders of "The Brotherhood"

Sean O'Connor
-The de facto boss of the Brotherhood. His father worked personally with Michael Collins, and Sean lamented leaving Ireland. He views his stay in America as a temporary exile, and when he aquires enough funds, he plans to return to Ireland and finance a wholesale push to drive England out of Northern Ireland.

Michael O'Connor
-While not as respected as his father, he realizes that "The Brotherhood" will probably remain in America. Is not as well educated as his father, but is hardworking and resourceful. Has a desire to gain money and power by any means necessary.

Ian McManus
-Cousin to the O'Connors. Has a high standing in several unions, especially Baggage Handler's union and light freight unions. This affords him powerful influence over many of the airports, and it is rumored that he has absolute control over one of them. Unfortunately, he is an alcoholic and is, ironically, terrified of heights.

Patrick Carson
-Godfather of Michael. Studied Business and law at Oxford. Manages the legitimate interests of the brotherhood. Personally, seeks to drive his colleagues business into legitimate territory. Presently, he is using Michael's thugs to drive down real estate, so he can buy it up cheaply and redevelop it. He hopes legitimately aquire an asset management institution (Hedge fund, bank chain or the like) so he can clean all of his money and take his bretheren off the streets.

Weapons-No standard weapons. Usually a variety of automatic pistols and the occasional shotgun.

Vehicles- No standard, but they prefer motorcycles. (Michael O'Connor "aquired" a Ducati). Usually white or soft colored vans and trucks for moving goods, bikes or small sedans for anything else.
