We've said from the beginning we don't want to do that. The basic "create" and "join" a gang functionality has been done for damn near a year now. It hasn't been released because well, we're not happy with the gameplay mechanics, and until we iron it out, it will remain under lock and key

Perhaps, gangs could purchase coordinates with favors, so the richest gang will naturally have the biggest territory, other players can't attack gang members if they're in their own territory, and other gangs can attempt to steal territory. I like the idea of gangs having sway on the yard.

That would put way too much power in the hands of those who can/are willing to whip out their wallets though. There's no fun there.

There's also still the core issue that there's just very little space. The North pole was our biggest "dungeon" @ 40x40 and since not all tiles are walkable, that's still very little space if people start snatching up real estate. Perhaps we could fashion it so that a % of tiles MUST remain open or something, but who knows.

We'll continue to mull the idea, but as mentioned, we're open to suggestions, as long as they're somewhat thought-through

just to add to this would it be at all possible to maybe store items in selected areas like you could at the north pole???but maybe bury them rather than drop them?:)

i like the idea of joe moving everytime a purchase is made,would there be a certain amount or would it just be timed???

mu,loved the new yard,but since i don't think it's accesible by any cellphone,is their a way that when the new yard is up and running,if you are playing on cellphone you might have a link or tab that lets cellphone players still do an hourly search for cash and items?just a thought,thanks mu and pb crew:)

Exploring works on my phone (Palm Pre) but I can't see the background image. And the Flash content doesn't work because my phone doesn't have Flash. Is this the case for you?

If anybody doesn't see the background image, I can't do anything for you, but I know what might cause it. I noticed a while ago that my phone appears to have a max image size (either by dimensions or storage size). I'm positive the background image for the map exceeds this size, so the phone tries to load it, but then simply gives up after a while, and I never see my map in the background. I suppose it's slightly possible that some older computers or browsers have a max image size. So if any players don't see the map, that might be why.

It worked very good on my samsung omnia HD the the proeblem was i wasnt able to click on items to use them while i was on my mobile else it workd bretty good

I like the idea of being able to bury an item. Like digging it could cost 5 energy??

I think it would be nice to have firesales done in the yard as well, in a similiar manner to santa, and what you propose for bootleg joe. This would allow the firesales to last longer and give more people a chance other than those that have the most favors and can click the fastest. Could have you and tommy moving around the yard ...Maybe when you click on the firesale button it would take you into the yard and then you have to find the warden or guard to buy the firesaled ammens

+1

The issues with firesales, bootleg joe, and even regular amen releases is that it's always the same people, who have tons of favors, if you sneeze you'll miss a fire sale. Making it a mission type thing would be a lot more exciting I think.
